    Bluebrock, the vocals are absolutely spot on, the harmonies are perfect, and the full orchestra is superb. The sound quality is terrific, even though it is live in 1980 it is really so good. Lots of the Moments favourite songs, but there is a huge surprise at 47 minutes with the next to last track. "Feel The Fire", the Peabo Bryson - Teddy Pendergrass - Stephanie Mills standard is astonishing, with Billy Brown delivering an incredibly powerful version which matches Eddie Levert's kind of delivery, even to the point of not using the microphone and just emoting. Let me know what you think!

    I watched it last night and it blew me away! As you say what a performance of "feel the fire". It's up with the Peabo and Teddy/Stephanie versions.
    The whole concert is superb and I would urge anyone with an interest in soul music to give it a listen.
    I knew it would be good but not this good!!

    Thanks again for posting Mikew-uk.

    What a great concert. One of the best on You Tube.

    Also loved their version of Feel The Fire. They did a great rendition of the classic MY PRAYER. I love Tony Williams' [[of the PLATTERS) version, but this version put the soul and the meaning into the song. Loved it.

    Where did all the Capital Theatre videos come from? Can't believe I missed seeing this concert in person.
