3.0 out of 5 stars Good Live Set, Aug 24 2003

The reissue of Al's legendary "Blue Album" is somewhat of a surprise, though a well received surprise. This CD documents Al's golden years of the late 1970s when the record buying public saw him as a nice break from the disco extravaganza. What we have here is a nice 'greatest-hits-thus-far-live' set. The songs are duplicated almost 100% as their original studio counterparts. Though I will say that the live version of "Sirens of Titan" blows the studio version out of the water.

There is one point in "Roads to Moscow" that Al's voice breaks a little, but then again, this album was never officially released when it was first pressed in 1979 and I'm not sure if this release was authorised by Al. Still, it's a great listen if you're a collector. Chances are, though, if you have "LIVE AT THE ROXY" you have a more comprehensive live collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST Al Stewart Live album, April 24 2003

By

Robert Miller (Eastern USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Time Passages Live (Audio CD)

I always lusted after the Radio Concert Album, and was not disappointed when I purchased this. The big surprise on the cd is that two songs I never thought were among Al's best, Life in Dark Water and Valentina Way are the best tracks on this cd. The band is excellent, and I much prefer these recordings to the Indian Summer/Live which were dreadfully doctored (orchestral overdubs) no doubt under the guidance of wonder boy Clive Davis who's Arista dumped him from the label shortly before or after Indian Summer! I think this is a very worthwhile collection of Al in his prime with a great back up band. Buy it and be happy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great live cd, Oct 18 2002

It's really great to see the legendary "Blue Album" put on cd.
I find the recording good, especially since it is 24 years old.
The thing I liked the best was Phil Kenzie's sax solos on "Song
on the Radio". Some of the notes he hits are just incredible.
This is about the most bang for your buck that you could possibly get.

4.0 out of 5 stars A quality cheapie
Al Stewart's "Time Passages Live" is one of those discs you see and think, "What the [heck] is this?" A [...]live disc that says on the cover, "Year of the Cat. Time Passages. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A great live album from Al's popularity peak
The rare Blue Album had 8 of these 9 cuts. A great version of Sirens of Titan was added. This is a well-recorded, budget-priced release. Read more
