Please edit this album again with the complete songlist. All Rod Stewart's fans need GUESS I'LL ALWAYS LOVE AND THE GREAT PRETENDER. WARNER BROS please put the batteries on and make an edition that really worth it.

Let me start by saying I recently saw Rod live for the first time (after having been a fan for over 20 yrs) on his current "Human" tour and it was possibly the best damn concert I've ever seen! And that ties into my review in this way, until then the closest I had come to seeing this great entertainer live was this record. And I have to say this record comes pretty close to capturing all the excitement and frenzy of a Stewart concert, plus it showcases most of Rods hits such as the great "Maggie May" all the way down to the equally great "Da Ya think I'm sexy?" And on all the tunes Stewart was in fine voice and the people that worked on this record also did a fine job by just letting it happen and be recorded that way. Even letting the part stay in where 2 female fans showed their appreciation according to the album notes "in topless fashion." All in all this is a great album and a must have for anyone who hasn't seen him live and wants to and for any person who just wants to hear a helluva album. It's great from start to finish, I highly recommend it!

I saw this tour. I bought this album when it was first released and have never stopped listening to it over the years. However, I must say that omitting GUESS, I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU is a sin. Warner Brothers needs to get off thier duff and remaster and release this album with the 2 songs they chopped in order to fit this onto one CD. What amazes me even more is with all the box sets, and best ofs, these two songs still remain unavailable. This isn't some small time artist that only put out a few albums in the seventies. This is Rod the mod, himself. Legend, rock and roll master. Please reissue this as Nazareth did with their live album, Snaz.

As the back cover reads, "In order to facilitate a single, specially-priced cd, the songs "The Great Pretender," and "I Guess I'll Always Love You," have been removed." HELLO??!! The main selling point of this album was the inclusion of those tracks as they were not available elsewhere! Both performances added immeasureably to the appeal of this collection, and these songs, as with Stewart's original and definitive reading of Burt Bacharach's "That's What Friends Are For," have yet to reappear on subsequent retrospectives. Stick with the vinyl until Warner does this one right.

This CD recorded in 1982 is still
great when Rod still had it.
The CD is missing the Great Pretender which is no big loss
but also I'll Guess I Will Always Love You
which is a minor loss. So if you like the older Rod stuff
it is worth buying. This is a real live CD not touched up
so it is not perfect but still is Rod's best live CD.
