"Recorded Live at The Greek Theatre, this album is a hidden jewel. Merry Clayton (who sang backup on the Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter) is a dynamic singer and performer. The songs 'Overload' and "Steamroller Blues' are real, from the heart, rockers. Also included in this album is the song 'Cry to me', from the scene in the cabin when the two main characters first make love in the movie. All music is played by "The Contours", the original Dirty Dancin' band. Eric Carmen's 3 best songs ever, 'Make Me Lose Control', 'Almost Paradise', and 'Hungry Eyes' have that extra "live" excitement to them. This is a great album and a hidden jewel!!! Enjoy!!!"

"The Dirty Dancing Live in Concert CD delivers an exciting mix of pop and rock selections from the film of the same name. Singer-songwriter Eric Carmen is excellent in his presentation of Hungry Eyes, Make Me Lose Control and Almost Paradise. His live performance is stunning and his voice is top-notch. The other performers, including Merry Clayton and Bill Medley also do a fine job."
