Editorial Reviews

Ambrosia came to national prominence in 1975 with their self-titled debut which featured the hits Holding On To Yesterday and Nice, Nice, Very Nice. Produced and engineered by Alan Parsons, their releases have been Grammy nominees several times over. They continue to tour to this day with three of the four original members. This is their only live recording, and it contains the songs they're known for.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Live Recording That Packs A Shem, March 31, 2005

By 

Harry Hughes (London, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Live at the Galaxy (Audio CD)

It amazes me that someone would write a cd review from a concert
that they went to without having heard the cd. This is NOT the
same band that they heard in Toronto. It's true that David Pack is
no longer with the band, but this cd has the awesome vocals of Shem, who was not with them in Toronto. Shem makes all the difference in the world. This is a great opportunity to hear some
of their songs Live. There is an amazing version of Time Waits For No One on this cd. All in all this cd is surprising in how good it
is considering that David is not on it. This is a must for Ambrosia fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ambrosia's latest and greatest!, May 30, 2002

By 

Sarah Waters (Orange County, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Live at the Galaxy (Audio CD)

As one of the fortunate audience members of the concert now chronicled by the "Live at the Galaxy Theatre" release, the recording attests to the talent and ability of both the band and the producers, who proved more than capable of capturing the precision and energy of Ambrosias live performance. Classic favorites including "Youre the Only Women" and "How Much I Feel" couple a sense of nostalgia with an appreciation for the members ever-increasing prowess; while the inclusion of new and unreleased tracks allows the album to defy the limitations associated with common "best of" compilations. Though Ambrosia may forever be synonymous with 70s and 80s rock celebrity, this release will likely usher in the latest resurgence of a band whose popularity and prestige have yet to wane. With the unique composition of tracks like "Nice, Nice" alongside the infectious melody of "Livin On My Own," and the sweet sincerity of "In My Life,"this record will appeal to diverse musical audiences - becoming the capstone of an Ambrosia enthusiasts collection or the perfect introduction for the newest Ambrosia fan. Ambrosias "Live at the Galaxy Theatre" comes with a recommendation as enthusiastic as the response of the crowd youll hear on the CD!
