5.0 out of 5 stars The Jacksons, totally live and totally off the hook!, January 18, 2003

Having seen this concert live at NYC's Madison Square Garden back in 1981, it just brings back so many good memories to hear it coming through my stereo. It was a truly magical night - teen singing sensation Stacy Lattisaw was the opening act, and I was lucky enough to be seated behind Katherine Jackson, the mother of the guys, little sister Janet Jackson, and comedian Nipsey Russell. The excitement of that evening can definitely be felt coming through on this recording. There was so much energy in the guys' performance, and although it was pretty much the Michael Jackson show (he brought down the house when he sang "She's Out of My Life" and asked "Can I come down there?"), it was plain to see that all of these guys were born to entertain. All of the brothers had the audience going crazy. One of the happiest moments of my life was being in the audience that night to witness this concert, because it was an unforgettable experience! If you are a Jackson fan, you MUST own this!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars great 80's album from the Jacksons...with 80s and 70s music, September 23, 2001

A collection and melodies of classic hits. A Jackson fan cannot go wrong with this. And because it is live...it is even better. You hear the crowd but the crowd doesn't drown out Michael and his brothers.

A wonderful collection...a must have...

This review is from: The Jacksons Live (Audio CD)

This album is technically a Jacksons' release, but as evident by the songs included, it is really Michael's show. Of the album's thirteen tracks, five of them are from Michael's Off The Wall album (a sixth solo song, the chestnut "Ben" is also included) and the remaining tracks are dominated by his presence. This isn't a bad thing as the album provides early proof of the electricity Michael could create from the stage. The remaining Jackson brothers are no slouches either as they provide perfect harmonies and vocals while leading us through a mostly uptempo selection of songs like the blazing "The Things I Do For You" and a funky "Lovely One". A real treat is to hear the band dive into the vaults for a rousing medley of "I Want You Back/ABC/The Love You Save" and a sweet "I'll Be There".
