Live! (Remastered) – The CommodoresView More By The Commodores Our ReviewIt was the Commodores’ special mission in the 1970s to combine killer funk grooves with classic R&B/pop songwriting and serve the finished product up to a huge and hungry public. Anyone who thinks the group was merely a showcase for Nicole Richie’s dad should check out Commodores Live! This 1977 release testifies how crisp, tight and sizzling the six-member band could be. While singer/saxophonist Lionel Richie became their star attraction, the Commodores were truly a precision-fused unit whose smoothly-moving parts were sublimated to the good of the whole. “Won’t You Come Dance With Me,” “Slippery When Wet” and the extended take of “Brick House” included here demonstrate their ability to jam with abandon without losing focus. Of course, the ballad side of the band isn’t neglected — Richie’s seductive vocals on “Just To Be Close to You” and “Easy” are bedroom invitations par excellence. The frisky, brass-powered “Too Hot Ta Trot” (a studio track heard in the film Thank God It’s Friday) complements the concert recordings. This is high-order funkmanship rivaling Sly Stone at his best. Commodores Live! shows how the group could be easy like Sunday morning — and steamy like Saturday night.. Customer ReviewsCan't believe they did this (5 stars)Great Album ..always loved the commodores. But they're forcing you to buy the entire CD to get either "zoom" or "brickhouse" cuts. Was'nt getting around this crap one of the reason why itunes was built? Didn't we suffer through this con for decades and accepted it because of the lack of technology then? Oh ..I got a choice ...I guess I'll exercise it and leave this purchase alone and hope maybe someday they'll come to t reunion (5 stars) The first "live" conert I ever experienced was The Commodores. This album exeplifies all the sweet love that all of us felt, "back when". When everyone was welcome to enjoy an incredible experience of music, love and dance. Buy this album and be moved! Absolutely amazing for anyone who has soul! Fabulous!!! (5 stars) If you buy just one Commodores album, this is the one. Led by Brick House, Zoom, and Easy, each song on this album is fabulous! The interaction with the audiance just improves on a great song set. Don't let this one go!
