5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Christopher Cross, December 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Christopher Cross: Greatest Hits Live (Audio CD)

Though Christopher Cross hasn't been topping the Billboard charts in nearly a decade, this album is truly a must-have for all his fans. Basically, the songs are from the second CD from his "Walking In Avalon" set, but are well done. "Sailing," "Arthur's Theme" and "Think Of Laura" are classics, and songs that aren't so popular, such as "Is There Something," are also excellent songs to listen to. The sound quality is superb, and considering that Cross is one performer who sounds just as good live as in the studio, this is one great CD. What Christopher Cross needs to do now is to release the studio version of these songs onto CD, and that would be even better.

"The best that you can do is fall in love...". And if you fell in love to the music of the 80's or know someone who did, surprise them with this wonderful CD collection of "Christopher Cross..Greatest Hits Live".

Recorded live at the Galaxy Theatre in March 1998, it is an excellent selection and terrific recording of Cross' most popular works. His familiar and sweet voice take you on an emotional roller coaster ride. Opening with "Never Be The Same" and going right into the mesmerizing "Sailing" you'll be captivated immediatly.You'll be "Swept Away" by the romantic tune he wrote for an episode of "Growing Pains" and get emtionally involved with his soulful rendition of "Think of Laura".

Of course also included is the terrific theme song from the movie "Arthur", and special guest Michael McDonald joins him for "Ride Like the Wind". We are also treated to a couple of Studio Tracks of his more recent "Walking in Avalon" and "Hunger".(For a complete list see buying info, where you can also listen to some samples).

The performance is wonderful, the audience reaction is electric and contagious, and it sounds great on the stereo. I love it!

Enjoy....Laurie

4.0 out of 5 stars A live experience, May 10, 2000

This review is from: Christopher Cross: Greatest Hits Live (Audio CD)

For fans of Christopher Cross, this is a worthy addition to your collection. The selections are a good representation of the highlights of Cross's career. An additional few lesser-known songs (but equal in quality to his more popular works) are included, as well as two studio tracks from his "Walking in Avalon" CD. My only complaint about this CD is the vocal quality. On certain songs, it almost sounds if Cross is straining to hit a high note. Maybe this is the price to pay for buying a live album, but for those with sensitive years, this can be distracting. Otherwise, this is a CD worth getting.
