Free Music Review: Live And More....Exactly What It Means!
Hit: 5 Stars
"Live And More" (1978) is one of the best albums I have ever heard from Ms. Donna Summer. Let me take you on the journey she led me on:
Tracks 1-6 borrow from her concept album "Once Upon A Time" (1977). Tracks such as "I Love You", "Once Upon A Time", "Faster And Faster To Nowhere", "Fairy Tale High", and "Rumour Has It". The positive part is that all songs were great songs to be heard with out Donna's pure, hard to find in music today, nervous falsetto. They still sound like on the album, anyway. The negative part is that they omitted some of my favorite lyrics from some of the songs and the tempo is rushed a little bit faster as one reviewer previously stated. I noticed this when I was listening to the album versions of the songs above then listening to the live version.
Tracks 8 and 9 and 15 borrow from "I Remember Yesterday" (1977). Also one of Donna's best. Starting with "I Remember Yesterday" a song I and my parents enjoy dancing to because they feel the big band jazz beat along with the lyrics. "Love's Unkind" is my favorite. It tells the story of a girl who is in love with a guy from her school and wants to date him, but he loves her best friend and her dream to dance with him during the high school dance gets crushed. Then, "I Feel Love". The grandmother of all dance/techno/disco/rave just any type of dance music. Wrapped in a 4/4 beat in the style of Silver Convention, it's one of the best disco songs that you could actually base your song on (if you have one to write).
Tracks 10 and 11 show Donna's blues feel and vibe. These are the standout tracks because you can not, I mean can not, find these tracks on any other LP or CD but this one. Starting with the famous "My Man Medley", Donna tells about her man, how she loves the man she loves, then he treats her wrong, then she breaks up with him. I love how she tells the story with her voice. My favorite part of the medley is "I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good". Now, "The Way We Were", is another standout track. She performs Barbra Streisand's hit in her sultry voice. It's so nice I sometimes think about the way we were.
Track 12 is the same as tracks 10 and 11. You can not find these anywhere else. "Mimi's Song" is dedicated to her, then 9 year old, Mimi. Sometimes I think if parents who aren't at home at lot change Mimi to their child's name, they could see the difference in themselves. It's sort of funny though, the night before, she wrote the song after Mimi went to bed, and then Mimi comes out to tell her Mummy good night. Now that's a parent who's not to busy to do that.
Tracks 13 and 14 take from Donna's early disco age. Track 13, or "Try Me, I Know We Can Make It" is one of my personal favorites. I especially love the 17 minute version. That's the best part. I love how she speaks to the people during the songs. To the audience. That's really special. I think the tempo's a little bit rushed, just a bit, don't you agree? Track 14, or "Love To Love You Baby" is Donna's mainstream U.S. hit. After 3 years of the song being released, people love it and still love it today. I still do. It's not one of my favorites but it's O.K. for a "special" situation.
The live part closes out with track 16, "Last Dance". It is so better to hear over live vocals than that on the album version. I love to hear the crowd cheering her on and her ad-libs. "C'mon, everybody!" The best version of it to hear though is the promotional version which would be the one found on the "Thank God It's Friday" (1978) soundtrack. It's divided up into it's little parts. Also it's 8:17. Longer play of one of disco's greatest hits wrote by the late Paul Jabara.
Track 17 is the theme from the Deep (1977). It's a good song in it's way but it sounds like she's talking through a megaphone or one of those old Victrola's. It's catchy though.
One laughed at the concept of a live disco album but she did it. Donna is the true "Queen of Disco". Nobody can take her place. She will carry that title to heaven. I love you Donna and hope you love your fans because we all love you.
