Curtis Mayfield - Live at Montreux 1987

Description
Curtis Mayfield was one of the dominant figures of soul music for three decades. From his breakthrough in the early sixties with The Impressions, through his ground breaking solo work in the seventies, to his more mature songs in the eighties he remained a hugely influential figure. The accident that paralyzed him in 1990 deprived everyone of any new work from then until his death in 1999 but his music has continued to inspire artists from across the musical spectrum.

This performance, filmed at the Montreux Jazz Festival on July 18, 1987, finds Curtis in fine form. His distinctive falsetto vocals are in evidence on a track listing that spans his career from early Impressions hits through to his solo classics.

Track Listing: 1. Ice 9 (instrumental), 2. Back To The World, 3. It's Alright, 4. Gypsy Woman, 5. Freddie's Dead, 6. Pusher Man, 7. We Got To Have Peace, 8. We've Only Just Begun, 9. People Get Ready, 10. Move On Up, 11. If There's A Hell Below, We're All Going To Go, 12. When Seasons Change.

3 out of 5 stars Nice show but a defective disc.......2005-08-03

This is a decent show from a great performer although it is a bit "80's" sounding and lacks some of the grit that one might find in some of his 70's shows. The main reason I wanted to review this is so everyone that is interested in purchasing this can know that there is a defect on this DVD. At 43:11 into the disc---during of all songs "People Get Ready"---there is some sort of glitch and the disc skips one second to 43:13 producing a very noticable dropout in the sound. I have checked 2 different copies on 3 different players all with the same results. I have made some inquiries about this disc but haven't been able to get any information on obtaining a corrected copy from anyone.
