3.0 out of 5 stars Why not provide a COMPLETE version of this album?, November 20, 2001
By Jerry Nunn (Salt Lake City, UT) - See all my reviews
When this album was originally released, it was pressed on two 33-1/3 RPM Vinyl discs. Unfortunately: as it appears on this new cd format: almost two full sides of that original album are missing - and that is a real shame if you (like me!) are a Belafonte fan!
The original album included some tracks from the Carribean that are not found in these arrangements on any other - and to have failed to have provided them is astounding to me!
The tracks that are here are just as vibrant and memorable as ever - and deserve 5 stars - but to have failed to have actually re-mastered and produced the true original album fromat is unforgivable to a true fan!
The loss of those additional tracks and arrangements preclude their enjoyment by an entirely new audience who would love them as much as the original fans did!
Perhaps if we all send our feelings to the producers they will cease providing these inaccurate and short copies of great albums in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy the two CD import version from Amazon.com, January 17, 2000
By Robert Swezey (San Diego) - See all my reviews
I wish to thank Reviewer Santiago Millan Caballero for his warning. I bought the two CD set from Amazon in Germany and it is complete and wonderful. Now Amazon.com sells this same 2 CD set as "Live at Carnegie Hall [IMPORT]" made by BMG number B000006SUU. This record is a strong emotional experience.

3.0 out of 5 stars Classic Belafonte voice, wonderful to sing along with., March 12, 1999
By A Customer
As mentioned previously, if you had ever heard the entire concert on album you will be disappointed with this recording. They have cut out the fun stuff that went on, and a few of the more touching and difficult songs. Get the entire recording instead of this.

4.0 out of 5 stars The CD is NOT the same as the original vinyl.
Downgraded from the 5 star a true copy would have gotten. I had bought the CD of this years ago to "protect" my vinyl copy. The original is heads and shoulders above the CD. Read more

This is music as only Belafonte can do it. The tunes stay with you and overall it is an enjoyable experience to listen to this CD. His version of "Matilda" is a hoot.
