5.0 out of 5 stars The Answer To A Prayer..., March 3, 2002
By Drew Jansen (Golden Valley, Minnesota United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Live at the Opera House (Audio CD)
This disc should be required listening in every music school in the country. Sure, there are some less-than-polished moments, but it's such a vibrant album...the raw edges just give it that much more character. This is what real voices sound like, ladies and gentlemen, before microcircuitry took the place of talent in the recording studio. I still get a chill right before the Sisters make their entrance..."Whoooo! Here come the Pointers!" yells one of the gals. Indeed.

The precise stereo placement of the 4 (yes, there once were FOUR Pointer Sisters; come back, Bonnie...all is forgiven!) individual voices amplifies the energy of the numerous scat solos. Quite a lot of humor, as well--The "Old Songs" medley still cracks me up. One of my favorite albums of my youth, and now it's on CD.

Prayers ARE answered.

5.0 out of 5 stars These brown babies gonna boogie for you!, November 18, 2001
By Mickey N. Frith (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live at the Opera House (Audio CD)
Wow, does this album kick! I'm not a big fan of most live albums, but this one is just outstanding, all the way from the incredible opening overture to the walk-off. It just shows how incredibly talented and versatile the Pointer Sisters were and still are.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE THESE WOMEN!!!, September 29, 2003
By T. A. Seastedt (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Live at the Opera House (Audio CD)
Oh my...the Pointer Sisters bring so much joy to my heart. I listen to their incredible harmonies, tight syncopation and amazing energy...and it's all wonderful! This is the very best representation of what The Sisters express in creative power. I love their most recent disco and dance tunes, too...but this is raw Pointer Sisters and it is GOOD! You will not be disappointed.
