I loved this video. Cory was very good, except "Try a Little Tenderness" was a bit too long. Chuck stole the show in my opinion, looking great, singing great. Danny didn't contribute any lead songs (I wish he had performed "Liar") but his harmonies were right on.

Seeing them together makes me miss the good old days when there were 3 dogs. I really wish they would reconcile and perform together again, because their fans deserve the real deal. Until then, I'll just keep watching this tape.

HOT DOG, THESE DUDES ARE HOT STUFF. SOME REAL GREAT TUNES ON HERE INCLUDING-CELEBRATE, ELIS COMING, SHAMBALA, THE SHOW MUST GO ON, PIECES OF APRIL, ALL DONE LIVE FROM CHICAGO IN THE MID-SEVENTIES. THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR ALL YOU 3 DOG FANS !!!!!
P.S. ITS REALLY A DOGGONE SHAME THAT SINGER CHUCK NEGRON IS NO LONGER PERFORMING WITH THE BAND. THIS IS THE ONLY VIDEO THAT HAS THE ORIGINAL 3 BOW-WOWS. I AM GLAD I PURCHASED IT.

incredible.

From the opening of "What Made America Famous" on a stark, empty soundstage to "Six String Orchestra" this is all just amazing. Ron Palmer and Big John are especially noteworthy in their backing vocals, and the intensity of "Sniper" is just frightening.

This video is nothing less than absolutely fantastic and is a very moving and memorable video. If you like Harry, you cannot afford to not own this video. I wish it was on DVD.

I've been a Harry Chapin fan ever since Taxi came out way back when. I even was fortunate enough to attend a Harry Chapin concert in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the 1970's. He was fantastic! This video is the closest thing to seeing Harry in concert. I also believe his live performance albums, "Greatest Stories" and "Legends of the Lost and Found" are his two best albums. Harry loved performing in front of an audience and it really shows in these two albums as well as the video. Buy it, it's well worth the money!

If you are a Three Dog Night fan, this video is a must! My only complaint is that it isn't long enough to include all their hit songs. Cory Wells steals the show with "Try a Little Tenderness".

Fans of this talented yet troubled threesome will be satisfied if not thrilled by this video. Chuck Negron emerges as the star of this production with his vocal range and obvious talent. Danny Hutton appears out of it (probaby why he was dropped later that year). Cory Wells gives a half-hearted effort, and the band really misses original drummer and bassist. overall, a decent effort by a talented band nearing the end of a great career.

The video is great. Just seeing Harry perform "Sniper" makes this video completely worth it. There is also a short part where Harry takes questions from the audience. I highly recommend this video to any Chapin fan.

Readers of exiled Dog, Chuck Negron's intense new tell-all, ``Three Dog Nightmare,'' looking for a video fix to put it all together visually will likely (as I did) find this their only ready alternative. That said, while the audio quality of this 1975 PBS TV concert leaves something to be desired, it nonetheless gives fans an entertaining deja view of a group that went from Top 40 frequent flyers to Oldies has-beens, as quickly as you can say ``disco.'' Or, for that matter, ``drugs''. Worth checking out. But here's hoping for a more digitally precise encore, preferably on DVD. And none of that ``Two Dog'' or ``One Dog Night stuff, either.
