Product Description

Captured in High-Definition and Mixed in 5.1 Surround Sound

Michael McDonald lends his soul-stirring voice to Motown’s greatest hits in this live performance recorded in High-Definition for the PBS concert series Soundstage. Belting out tracks from his two critically-acclaimed Motown concept albums, the Grammy Award-winner revives some of the most influential American music ever made. Joined by special guests Toni Braxton, India.Arie, Take 6 and Billy Preston, McDonald presents 14 classics – from the rollicking “I Second That Emotion” to the poignant “What’s Going On” – that pay tribute to Hitsville legends such as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson.

Features: I Second That Emotion, I Was Made To Love Her, What’s Going On, I Heard It Through The Grapevine, All In Love Is Fair, Stop Look Listen (To Your Heart), Baby I’m For Real, Tracks Of My Tears, Since I Lost My Baby, Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever, You’re All I Need To Get By, Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, Ain’t Nothing Like The Real Thing, Nowhere To Run

Saw the concert on HD and all I can say is WOW! Michael's soulful voice shines as always, Take 6 is fabulous, Indie Arie is angelic and on and on and on....Was hoping it would come to DVD...how about Blu-Ray?

I was hoping that this Soundstage show would be released on DVD; to learn that three extra tracks will be included made it a definite purchase for me. How cool that the late Billy Preston's work will be included!

I saw this when it was live on Soundstage. It is timeless and if you like Motown is a wonderful addition to any collection of Motown music. This man has a great soul.
