"Do not buy this CD. You will be disappointed. Imagine buying a Beatles Live CD with no Paul McCartney. Imagine a Commodores Live cd with no Lionel Ritchie. Imagine any group without their vocal identity and that's what you get from this cd. I would normally commend Rhino records for releasing rare tracks from artist of days gone by. I feel short changed by this release. It is very misleading that they have a picture with JT Taylor on the cover. Talk about false advertising."
NOT THE "REAL" THING

"On face value, I was thrilled to see there was an offering of Kool & the Gang live. On face value, it appears JT is the lead signer from the packaging and the like. Much to my dissapointment, it was recorded while he was not with the group.It's just not the same without JT on lead, and I was greatly dissapointed at the misrepresentation."
Good for w/ out JT

"This cd is good w/ out JT. In the notes, it has look for one w/ JT in the year 2000. The singer for ''Victory'' ; ''Ladies Night'' Fresh'' and then the couple songs sounds like JT. The other singer for the other songs isn't that great, but if A Fan I would Buy. If not, wait for the JT one to be released."
Just Not the Same

"Whoa! Unfortunately I am a sucker for live music, because nothing could prepare me for this....a "J.T. less" Kool & the Gang with inadequate vocals! While the band itself is in good form, it is somewhat disconcerting to know that this disc was packaged as having ALL of the members of the band. Additionally, who REALLY needs a concert taken from 1993? My advice: "save your money and buy the studio greatest hits package.""
