Live at the Sahara Tahoe

The two cd set was great. I owned the album several years ago and the cd quality was far superior. I really enjoy Hayes and his music.

I've enjoyed the musical arrangements and vocals for all of my life. I first purchased this recording, in LP format, in the 1970's. I'm just now rebuilding my collection. This recording is even better than I remember. If you are a fan of Isaac Hayes, you can't go wrong.

He sounds good live as well as in the studio. one thing...i wish he did more of his material.

overall, a great set. :)

Isaac Hayes...what can ya say, "Barry White" didn't even come close... other than steal this mans whole act. This show is fantastic, my only regret is that it's not on DVD.

I pulled this set out for the first time in a while and it has lost NOTHING with the passage of time.

I remember I was fascinated with this grown folks' music back when I was 3 years old (when it was released!) and it still sounds good.

If you want to know why so many artists sample Black Moses' music ... if you want to know where Barry White and countless others around the world "went to school" for their funk/lounge/disco/R&B/soul/jazz musical ideas and film/TV scores ... if you want to know why Isaac has been so revered for his countless talents, this would probably be the best place to start.

Just one example: Isaac's take on Carole King's It's Too Late proves he's a genius. The way he weaves in musical elements of Spooky and We've Only Just Begun is amazing ... and when you consider the irony of the lyrical subject matter with those songs being mixed with It's Too Late ... man, this brotha is deep. (Literally, considering some of those low bass notes he works with.) He is a musician beyond compare and bonds vocally with the tunes like only a musician can. And his sense of humor is second to none, lol.

LIVE AT THE SAHARA TAHOE is truly the epitome of everything that was fantastic about soul music from the early 70's. An indispensable work from one of the world's greatest musical talents.
