OUTRAGIOUS!!!!!!!!!! Lionel Richie always brings it to the stage&this Disc Captures the Magic of his Many Classic Songs over the years. the Band is tight&Lionel Vocally is on point. the pacing of the show is quick&very good all the way through. Hello was cool,but I really dug how he did "All Night Long" Live. he added a extra vibe to that song live. I wish the Collection could have kept on going because it was tight. very well Arranged&everything was Smooth. Lionel Richie is a Musical Genius.

You'd think that after nearly 20 years past his heyday and a few voice operations that Lionel Richie may have lost his touch. But this live album proves just the opposite. Richie hasn't lost any of his magic.

"Encore" may be brief (12 songs) but it is a very lively and enjoyable concert. Lionel blasts his way through some of his best known tunes, including "Three Times A Lady", "Easy", "Brick House", "Penny Lover", "All Night Long", "Stuck On You", "Say You, Say Me" and "Dancing On The Ceiling". While these renditions will do nothing to make you forget the originals, they are nonetheless great performances. The only reason I gave the cd four stars instead of five is because of the mediocre (and short) performances of "Hello", "Running With The Night" and "Angel".

So give yourself and pick up "Encore". It's definitely worth it.

Maybe I was looking forward to this too much, but the arrangements are sub-par, lionel's voice sounds rough and he sings the songs different than the originals, really mixing the lyrics and pronunciation up a lot. It sounds more like he's talking rather than singing. I was very disappointed-not worth it as a live cd.

The Lional Richie CD Encore is fantastic. A nice selection of songs.
Amazon sent my order immediately and it got here undamaged. Would deal again.

Thanks

Lionel Richie is One of the Greatest Artists Ever&Live He is even better. He is One of the Few Acts that to Me gets it right both in the Studio&on stage, he is a Artist's Artist. Live as this set showcases He is on top of his game. I enjoyed His Vocals&the overall feel of the songs played Live. I saw him in concert back in the day&it Rates in my top 1-3 Performances that I have Ever seen Live. this Man is a Musical Genius&He ain't lost it. a Must have for all Lionel fans Everywhere. OUTRAGIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
