Marvin Gaye : Live At The London Palladium (LP, Vinyl record album) - This is the second of two live albums that Marvin Gaye cut during the 70s – and in many ways, -- Dusty Groove is Chicago
This is the second of two live albums that Marvin Gaye cut during the 70s - and in many ways, it's the better one! The record features three sides of work recorded live at the London Palladium - mostly in these swirling medleys that are introduced by Marvin in a very soulful mode, then swing into well-arranged combinations of classic tunes with some excellent instrumentation. The album features a few straight cuts like Since I Had You, Let's Get It On, Trouble Man, and Come Get To This - but the medleys are great, too, especially the one on side 2, which features kind of a mini version of the album What's Going On! But then, even after all that, side 4 opens up in a slamming studio track - the extended funky groover Got To Give It Up, which has some great keyboards by Marvin and cool rhythm work by Jack Ashford. All very funky, and Marvin's big bid at a club cut - one that worked pretty darn well!
