Customer Reviews of Live in New Orleans

Maze featuring Frankie Beverly is my number one favorite R&B group of all
time. The "Live In New Orleans" album is the best live album I've heard. I
have the original 2 album set which I purchased in 1981 and the cover is
falling apart from me playing it so much!!! Just purchased the "Anthology"
2 CD Set and it is absolutely aMAZEing!!! Seems like a day doesn't pass that
I am listening to Maze. Their music is so soothing and all the songs present
a definite message. I've seen the guys twice(in 1980 and 1993) and
enjoyed both live performances. They are on tour this year and I truly want to
see them a third time. My favorite songs include Joy & Pain(everyone's
favorite), Feel That You're Feelin, You, Happy Feelings, Look in Your Eyes
and other classics. I am a huge fan of Maze. Their music is like no other
and Frankie Beverly knows how to grab your attention when he sings. Just
puts you in the mood to listen to great music. I would recommend the above
2 titles along with any Maze album. You will not be disappointed.

This is the Greatest Live R & B Album Ever!
Maze is probably the greatest band that the masses in America still don't know about, in spite of their unbelieveable staying power of over 23 years! To me, "Live in New Orleans" is a Frankie Beverly classic, that even has a leg up on Earth, Wind & Fire's "Gratitude", as far as great live albums go. The CD is disappointing only in that it cheats us out of a couple of songs and affects the real flow of Maze's performance. I've seen Frankie and the fellas in person about 7 or 8 times in L.A., and no matter what type of music dominates the air waves, their style and sound still bring out the best in live audiences. The rappers and hip-hoppers can only sit back, scratch their heads and wonder how Frankie can keep cranking out the same songs from back in the day and still turn out a live stadium. It's quite simple...they are for real, and they are sincere musicians who take their craft seriously. Their musical excellence is further evidenced by the fact that several of the Maze band members, like Ron Smith, Wayne Linsey, & Michael White, have done some great jazz recordings over the years too. There's still nothing better than hearing the "Live in New Orleans" versions of "Joy & Pain", "Feel That You're Feeling" and "The Look in Your Eyes". I recommend this CD to anyone who still enjoys fresh R & B, the way it ought to be!

A Truly Great Live Album
Heavy Nostalgia,

I remember when this came out like it was yesterday. My father had bought the cassette tape and played it nonstop the summer of 1981 in our tiny ass Ford Fairmont. I bought a cassette tape of this concert of my own in 1985 and finally wore this thing out about three years ago. I am ABSOLUTELY delighted that this concert has been released on CD and DVD. I bought the DVD last year and watching these songs being performed live simultaneously brought me home and taught me something new.

Frankie Beverly is an R&B songwriter of the highest caliber. This disc is chock full of classics, and the songs are performed with the highest degree of inspiration, passion, and musicianship. The 1970's (and this disc has that 70's feel) certainly was the high point for live performance of many kinds, and the easy rapport Beverly has with the audience is something that is sorely lacking in today's mass marketed, over-hyped, often stupid live shows (it's probably because the "musicianship" of contemporary artists is so pathetic).

An absolute classic, well worth the money, and simply excellent. Thank goodness they had the sense to record themselves in their prime. They all look so young! And that suit Frankie has on!
