I'm really sorry for this guy saying that Frankie should refuse to do such concerts as Hammersmith when he has a a flew or something that could alterate his voice or his reputation of genious : this DVD is worth it and thanks God Frankie did not refuse to do this London concert ! Of course, it's not "Live at New Orleans" or "L.A"... but it's ten years after ! It's not as incredible as New Orleans because to have beautiful concerts like N.O, you have to have less incredible concerts, such as this Hammersmith show. Fred Astaire was not a genious in all his films. Above all, this DVD is more "euro style", more "cosy", "easy listening" style than N.O or L.A.
I guess that's what Frankie and his crew wanted to do and show in London. This "Live" is more "smooth", more "lounge", more "electronik", less "massive", les "soul or funk or R & B" than the Live in N.O or in L.A. The Maze band show anyways that they are still united, dedicated, top of the line in termes of music - it' s good to here Maze with modern sounds -. Of course it looks like Frankie had a flew during this concert : so what ?!It also looks like the audience didn't give a d.... about that. All we want from Maze is : joy, happiness, raw soul, peace. Evething you will see and feel in this 2 hours concert. Last but not least, the sound is really really good.

Another long time fan of FB with Maze and also I own the live in N.O. and in L.A. The music and quality of the dvd is top shelf. However, Frankie was not his usually silky smooth voice. Somewhat off track, but the band is very very tight! This show is a little longer also than the other 2 which is a big plus. And the band is more involved. I would go with the other 2 dvd's first...this one if only a die hard fan.

If you like Frankie Beverly and Maze you'll love this dvd. It has everything you'd expect from such a unique musical experience.

I am surprized...If you have the Maze Live in Philly, than you have this show. Nothin new. The preview suggested that there was "new" material (Look In Your Eyes & Working Together). I would love to see Frankie attempt a show dedicated to some of his love ballards from his library of wonderful hits. It was very interesting to see so many Europeans groovin with Frankie.
