This is the live cd fans have been waiting for!,
By Deej (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Patti Labelle Live in Washington Dc (Audio CD)
Die hard fans will remember "if you don't know me by now" from her '85 "Patti" lp. Well, don't expect that version here. this is a different version and worth getting the cd for. The vocal and musical arrangements on her classic songs sound much different than how she performs them now. It also contains such rare live gems as "I don't go shopping" where you here the beginnings of the 3 men on stage routine. Unlike her past live cds, this one doesn't sound cut up or choppy. Considering how old the concert is, the audio quality is pristine. The cd contains so many Patti nuances that it will leave fans wanting more and wishing they'd release the live DVD of this concert. For me the cincher was to hear her do a baby bit of my all time fav Patti song "My best was good enough". Patti does not dissapoint at this concert that is sprinkled with classic "Patti talk" moments that will make you laugh.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Patti Labelle Live in Washington Dc (Audio CD)
What can you say about Patti Labelle. They throw the title diva around way too much theese day's. Patti labelle is truly a DIVA. The CD is wonderful ! What really gets me is that she sounds the same live as she does recorded in a studio. You will love this one. James Ptaszkiewicz . The ultimate Patti Labelle FAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Patti That I Fell In Love With,
By Jerome (Northridge, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Patti Labelle Live in Washington Dc (Audio CD)
This is the Patti that I fell in love with 23 years ago. This was recorded when I was 8 years old. Didn't really start hearing her until I was 10 (with no help of any adult influence in my home) yet I must say that this is truly a testament to the earlier years of her vocal power. Not to say that she can't belt out some of those notes but even the Patti LaBelle of 2008 is no match for the Patti LaBelle of 1982. Strange comparison surely but I have studied Patti LaBelle as though she were a book. I will always love Patti LaBelle however, I can be taken aback by this particular cd, in a good way. So many of today's singers and wanna be singers might not understand why a person might love Patti LaBelle's voice today because honestly, there are so many up and coming high octane singers that can hit the notes that she hit but not many can match the power of this particular recording. They may have to hear this to know why we appreciate her so much and can't let go of what brought us to her in the first place. I know you can never go back but I wish that she would get back to REAL SINGING!! Don't get me wrong, yes she can still sing like nobody's business but these were the days when hardly nobody knew her and she had a point to prove to the world that she was just as good as anybody else out there if not better. In my opinion, we seem to work the hardest and be our best when we want recoginition but once we get to that plateau of success we don't kick but like we used to. The Patti on this album wouldn't have cared two red cents if her wig fell off, her heals broke or her dress split down the back. Duck tape would have been her remedy and she would have kept on singing. Today though, I think that (maybe because she's more advanced in her years) she has kinda taken a break but every now and again we see her kick but. I wish that the GLAM would sometimes cease so that the real vocal ability & her over the top performances would return. We know that Patti has hit every note under the rainbow but today it's more of a yell rather than the singing along with the vocal acrobatics & callisthenics which always seemed to suffice. Is it because of the younger generation and maybe not wanting to be outdone by them? Probably not or hardly but something is missing and I want it back. I know many of you might say I'm a traitor but really I'm not. Just a die hard fan that has listened to this woman sing for 23 of my 33 years on earth. I do have a right to vent because I have supported this trooper of an entertainer most of my life. That's all I have to say for now!! Keep on going Patti and take us back if but for a moment when we see you on stage or on tv!!
