2.0 out of 5 stars Love Marvin Gaye, but not a great performance, October 13, 2008

This performance, if I'm guessing was recorded around 1981, shortly before he left Motown Records to sign on Epic Records.

Of course, Madacy Records got hold of the performance and has reissued it numerous times. Clearly a bootleg judging by the sound quality and the fact that Madacy is releasing it, it's uncertain to me why it's even on the market.

First off, Gaye is not in top form here. Look elsewhere if you want a Gaye concert with Marvin at 100% and at his finest.

Second, the sound quality is not great. I could make a better recording in my basement. And I'm absolutely serious. It's alright for a bootleg, but it's still not great.

Overall, unless you are a die hard Gaye fan or a collector, just avoid this. There's nothing here that's standout. Just buy one of his standard compilations. You'll be much happier that way.

NOT RECOMMENDED.

I thought this cd was a bargain until I listened to it. These were terrible live performances with awful sound recording.
