| Patti live is always a treat. This cd awesome. I can't believe all the bad reviews. I will agree on some points that were made but this cd is excellent. The only bad cd she has had to date is the cover cd but we are reviewing this one and it is excellent. I have it blastin' in my car cause I feel like I'm right there. |

 1982 Patti LIVE vs. 1992 Patti LIVE.

| Okay....so I bought this Gamble/Huff retro released CD out of curiosity. I wanted to hear how Patti sang live "back in the day" when not a lot of the mainstream pop culture knew of her as a solo artist, post Labelle breakup. I've been a blackbelt Chicago fan and loyal friend of Patti Labelle since 1990. I've seen her in well over 50 live shows in Chicago and around the country. I've been onstage with girlfriend about 15 times singing Lady Marmalade wearing my signature platform boots. (She knows them well!) Patti has called me on the phone twice in my life.....once to wish me a happy 38th birthday...the other to wish me luck running the Chicago Marathon in 1998. Patti Labelle is the REAL DEAL! How could I be so humbly blessed to get such personal attention from a diva I've admired for so long?! Well, that said, I want to give some personal attention to this review of her Retro Washington DC Live 1982 CD release. I found it worthy of dredging up by Gamble and Huff to the masses for a few reasons. Her opening number of her then title album "The Spirits In It" was phenomenal. It was complete dynamic vocals to move any crowd to its feet as she always does! Patti Labelle Live WHENEVER OR WHEREVER, is and always has been, a magical intense experience. I have to acknowledge that I feel her Patti Labelle LIVE CD released 10 years later in 1992 on MCA found Patti in stronger vocal form. I believe it came from a more confident and seasoned woman, considering she lived through so much tragedy and triumph since the 1982 Live release. She lost 3 sisters to cancer, and gained new recognition to the masses from finally being acknowledged as a great singer from MCA record execs in 1985. This new record deal came about 3 years after the 1982 live release. Both Live CD's have the same killer backup band. Budd Ellison, her longtime musical director, and Nathaniel Crockett, her longtime keyboardist. One thing about the 1982 retro release. I found myself sobbing one nite like a weeping fool upon listening to her soul aching version of "Isn't It A Shame". She does an incredible rendition of this sad ballad in this concert! So overall...I believe this is a good purchase....but please consider buying her "Patti Labelle LIVE" released in 1992 from MCA. Her opening number on that live CD..."Release Yourself" will honestly make you do that! Enjoy Miss Patti LIVE! Both in 1982 AND 1992! Peace, and "stay positive ya'll" to quote my most cool girl Lauren Hill! Rob Jackimiec, Chicago. |

 Patti needs new material....

| I'm sorry. But I'm starting to get tired of Patti releasing the same songs over and over again. I mean how many times have Lady Marmalade and You Are My Friend been released. I know those are two of her signature songs but come on! When she was on clash of the choirs she got tired of people auditioning with Lady Marmalade, well Patti I'm tired of it too. Not because it's a bad song. But because it's been released and re-released so many times. I mean give us something new and stop compiling the same old songs under a new title. And her voice is not what it used to be. Like someone else said I loved Patti back in the 80's but now she just screams and screams. And it's usually off key. Back then Patti didn't have to try as hard. Now she seems to try to force the notes out. Her voice has changed from a loud clear bell-like sound to an annoying, nasal sharp screech. I hate to say this but it's true. What's happening with my favorite diva? Bring back the wild hair do wearing, leave an audience speechless Patti from the 80's. Lately she just hasn't been doing it for me. Sorry!!! |
