I have always been disappointed when the hits were reduced to medleys on live performances of the top Motown acts. I know the shows were aimed at a more adult audience but it was the hits we record collectors wanted to hear. I was pleasantly surprised therefore, when I recently listed to the Temptaions 'Live At The Copa' cd where all the tracks are full length versions. I especially love "I Could Never Love Another" with the extended audience participation. Dennis Edwards certainly gives a polished performance and commands the stage, particularly as he was a new member of the group. Was this his first live performance?
Are there any other live albums that avoid those dreaded medleys?
