live and alive.......2007-05-25

This Three Dog Night album is interesting for a couple reasons. One, it shows the world that the band was more than just a vocal harmony band, and two, only one song featured here is played on the radio anymore ("One").

If you grew up listening to this band and expect to hear unique vocal harmonies, think again. While the vocals here are definitely good, it seems to me Three Dog Night wanted to prove that they could also stand tall with all the hard rock bands around at the time. "Nobody" and "Chest Fever" proves this for example. Songs that can rock convincingly.

"Heaven Is In Your Mind" is another great song, and a fantastic way to open this set. I don't know if I'd prefer this version over Traffic's, but you know, the Traffic version sounds pretty old, while the boys in Three Dog Night give the song an updated sound with plenty of energy. Check out that guitar solo in the middle. In fact, check out the guitar work throughout the entire album. Yes that's right- there's PLENTY of guitar on this album (for all you people out there who might think the band was too weak to hang with the big boys, like Zeppelin and Sabbath- think again!)

This version of "Feeling Alright" is quite good too. Again, it's about rocking out with some funk thrown in for good measure. This version is probably just as good as Grand Funk's. Joe Cocker's version can go... in the back of the closet.

For those missing some of Three Dog Night's softer and prettier numbers, "Easy to be Hard" might fit the bill. It's a shame most people will probably write off Three Dog Night without giving some of their albums a chance. That is, most people who grow up today, under the assumption that Three Dog Night was all about old and dated vocal harmonies. Wrong! Pick this album up for proof of that.

Wish I'd Been There!.......2006-07-03

This is my favorite live album of all time; bought it in early 1970, shortly after it came out. I'm so glad the CD version is available now, because I've absolutely worn the vinyl out! As someone else mentioned, it is a little short, but the energy is fabulous. The versions of It's For You, Nobody, One, "Eli's-a-Comin" , and Try a Little Tenderness are, IMO, much, much better than the studio cuts. Both vocals and instrumentals seem to be a lot more together in this live album. Unbelievable that it was done in '69, seems like only yesterday!

In the true spirit of 'retro'.......2005-10-13

I remember when this album (not CD) was popular. This was always close to the top of our play list. For nostalgia, I recently purchased this CD... and at first I couldn't remember why we liked it so much. But after a couple of spins through the CD player, I realized that this is an excellent capture of the Three Dog Night sound. Well mixed, excellent musicians, and a great selection of music. It would have been really nice if they could have included some bonus tracks on the CD not originally on the album. This one really 'Socks it to it'!

Jimjn.......2005-10-10

Easily one of the best live performances ever captured on record, tape or CD! This is a great album! The music and the vocals are tremendous. The energy and feel comes through and you can tell the band and the audience are having a great time. The only knock for me is that it's to short. I wish these guys would dig out the rest of the tapes, re-master the tunes and add extra songs. There has to be more to this show somewhere. When you hear it I think you will feel the same way. There are so many reissue and re-mastered CDs with extra songs these days that could have been left alone. This is one that should be enhanced. It truly deserves it.

One of the most celebrated live performances ever!.......2005-08-21

18.000 souls had the chance to presence this amazing spectacle in Los Angeles Forum on 18 September 1969 one of the most reminded musical happenings ever made.
The impressive strength vocal and incredible moods of this fabulous band in the late sixties allowed them articulate lyrics ballads, easy going themes and furious rapture.
They had a very original style but the perfect vocal coupling in white rock bands. How can you forget his furious Eli's coming, or his super known One or the sweet ballad Easy to be hard?
Go for this historical document and no matter if you didn't live the Rock Golden Ages!

Disharmonious "Harmony".......2006-09-27

Of the 3 Edsel repackages, this pairing of "Captured Live At The Forum" and "Harmony" is alternately just okay and then horrible. The reproduction of the audio from the live album is very boxy in quality, although part of this may be due to the circumstances of the era it was recorded (1969). However there can not be any excuses for the ridiculous extended edits performed on several songs from "Harmony," including "Never Been To Spain," "My Impersonal Life," & "Jam," where for some unknown reason pieces of the songs in question have been edited back in a second time in order to lengthen their running time - a complete unneeded travesty! Plus "My Impersonal Life" also leads off with obvious tape warble issues. Exceptionally substandard. Look for the original MCA cd issues.

Edsel should have left well enough alone.......2006-09-20

5 stars for the actual recording effort on the bands part...1 star for the remaster disaster on Edsels part

Some people dont know when to leave well enough alone......The bass is weak and muddy ...the mids are weak and notched way down...and the highs are excessively overdriven...to the point of being harsh and unlistenable..causing major listening fatigue.

I have waited for several months for the release of these 3 double cd sets by Edsel.....I just gave them a listen....and all three sets must have been done by the same guy.....a guy with a severe tin ear.

The booklet is excellent....but do yourself (and your ears) a favor....if you have the earlier cd vrsions....stick with them....they're head and shoulders above this.

"You should have gotten the $6.50 tickets down in front".......2004-03-25

Talk about a blast from the past. When my father was stationed in Japan he belonged to the tape club, where you could go and make reel-to-reel copies of records and albums (such was technology at the end of the Sixties), so we had lots of tapes and not that many actually records. That changed for my birthday one year when I put on my list (and actually received!) "Steppenwolf Live!" and this Three Dog Night album. I had selected it because looking over the tracks on "Captured Live at the Forum" this 1969 had all of the best songs from the group's first two albums, "Three Dog Night" and "Suitable for Framing" that also came out that year (remember when groups put out multiple albums in one year?). However, for a concert album this turned out to be a pretty good one; in fact, it was the group's first album to crack the Top 10, making it all the way to #6.

One thing you cannot accuse Three Dog Night of doing in concert is singing their songs exactly like what you heard on the radio, providing extended versions of "Chest Fever" and the big finale, "Try a Little Tenderness." Singers Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron, and Cory Wells were certainly slick, but they worked in enough soulful vocal harmonies to give their songs some gravity. Equally important, they pick songs by some pretty good songwriters like Harry Nilsson ("One"), Laura Nyro ("Eli's Coming"), Dave Mason ("Feelin' Alright"), Stevie Windwood ("Heaven is in Your Mind"), and Lennon & McCartney ("It's For You"). They also joined the bandwagon in terms of making songs from the tribal rock musical "Hair" fit for public consumption ("Easy to Be Hard").

While the sound quality is not as clean as what was produced in the studio, the energy of the live performances is hard to deny. Putting out a live hits collection for your third album might seem like a premature move, but "Captured Live at the Forum" simply convinced a lot of people that this was a group worth seeing in concert. Special props to keyboard player Jimmy Greenspoon who repeatedly shines through out the album, and not just on the moody beginning of "Eli's Coming." The rest of the band is Mike Allsup on guitar, Joe Schermie on bass, and Floyd Sneed on drums. Admittedly this one of those albums that people will enjoy rediscovering from their youth, but that is what the guilty pleasure part of your record library is for. Final Note: In 1969 you could get a front row ticket at a Three Dog Night concert for $5.50 (or buy an album) and today you would be lucky to park your car for that much at a concert. How time flies.
