Summary: Belafonte at Carnegie Hall
Comment: This is Harry's concert at Carnegie Hall in 1959. For anyone who is a Belafonte fan, this CD is an absolute must!

Summary: The CD is NOT the same as the original vinyl.
Comment: Downgraded from the 5 star a true copy would have gotten. I had bought the CD of this years ago to "protect" my vinyl copy. The original is heads and shoulders above the CD. In part because the missing songs are so rare, and the missing chatter was part of what made this recording so unique. The story is Carnegie Hall was in danger of closing. The original live recording was of a concert to save it. It was so successful, the Hall was kept open, and he returned the next year for another recorded concert "Return to Carnegie Hall". The last song on the CD is nowhere to be found on my original vinyl. Did they just realize they had to fill something in for the butchering they did to the master? Some of the missing songs can be found on the mp3 downloads. But the audience interraction is gone perhaps forever. Such a shame.

Comment: This is music as only Belafonte can do it. The tunes stay with you and overall it is an enjoyable experience to listen to this CD. His version of "Matilda" is a hoot.

Comment: Great service from Amazon - again! The CD is terrific to have. I have the 78 RPM and the cassette tape and this, if anything, is better!

Summary: I DIG THE ALBUM VERSION, BUT THIS ONE IS PRETTY DECENT AS WELL
Comment: like the others, i like the album version way better. however, this version was enjoyable for me as well. i am not big on live albums, and there are very few that i will give a positive response to. this one is one of them.
