Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons - Frankie Valli & Four Seasons - 20 Greatest Hits-Live

Very disappointed in this . It was like being at a concert where you just hear the crowd and can bearly here the music.

This is a must have collection for any Frankie Valli and Four Seasons fan, all of their very best recordings are captured in this colleciton.

Received product in good time. Like this CD. But the other CD received was cracked. Emailed for help, but got no response (over a month now). Not sure if I'd buy from them again.

I'd forgotten that I don't really care for Albums recorded live,and this was no different. I gave it to my Boy Friend, NO PROBLEM...

There are a few things wrong with this album. Some of reviewers already mentioned that the really classic Four Seasons songs are all stuck into medleys where you get a verse of each song and no more. On the Other hand all of the Frankie Valli solo songs are done in full versions and sometimes extended and over done. The biggest drawback is that this is not the real Four Seasons. Despite the very brief guest appearance by Bob Gaudio there are no original Four Seasons except Frankie only this recording. There is no appearance by Nick Massi, Tommy DeVito or Joe Long any of whom would have been available and would have made this a true Four Seasons reunion.

I look at this as a Frankie Valli solo concert and little more. That's fine if that's what you are looking for. There are a few brief tributes to the Four Seasons sprinkled within performed by Frankie Valli with "his" Four Seasons (Bob Gaudio and Frankie are business partners and own the name). In reality this is a Frankie Valli solo concert. If you want to hear 5 minutes of "Grease" and "Oh What a Night" and and can settle for 30 seconds of Rag Doll, Dawn, Ronnie, Sherry, Bye Bye Baby etc. this is what you've been lookin for. It is all very well recorded and the band is great but....it is not the Four Seasons. As Bill Murray said....that's the facts Jack.

After seeing Jersey Boys on Broadway and loving the show, I wanted a CD of Frankie Valli & The 4 Seasons. This CD is one Hit after another of theirs and captures the oldies at their best. I would recommend this CD. I purchased 2, and gave one as a gift to a friend planning on getting Jersey Boy Tickets. She loved it also.

This album is one of those that I never get tired of. I never really knew much about Frankie Valli or the Four Seasons until I borrowed this album from my cousin. They do a great job with this album. All of the songs are recorded live during a show, and they have several medleys throughout the album. I'm very happy with my purchase of this album, and would recommend this to anyone even remotely interested in Frankie Valli.

After seeing "Jersey Boys" in Chicago, I just had to purchase this CD.
The price was right and I sing along with a lot of the songs. Makes me
smile! Love it!

I have always enjoyed Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons but after seeing Jersey Boys, I was hungry for more music from them. This album includes quite a few of their top hits and my favorite memories.

One of the greatest acts in music histroy, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons scored a string of hits between 1962 and 1968 plus a few more with a differnt lineup in the 1970s'. In 1981, the latter incarnation reunited and created this excellent live album.

This album features all the songs you could want: "Sherry", "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Walk Like A Man", "Rag Doll", "Let's Hang On", "I've Got You Under My Skin", "Workin' My Way Back To You", "Who Loves You" and "December 1963 (Oh, What A Night)". Evne though most of them are in medley form, they all still bristle with the freshness of the original version. Also, a few great Valli solo numbers are done: "Our Day Will Come", "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", "Fallen Angel", "Swearin' To God", "My Eyes Adored You" and an exhilerating version of "Grease". Two new songs are also done: the single "Spend The Night In Love" and the joyous "Heaven Must Have Sent You (Here In The Night").

This is a great live album. Valli's voice is in great shape and the falsetto is still there. Get it today. I guarantee you will enjoy it immensely.

Between 1962 and 1976, the New Jersey quintet The Four Seasons had over 15 top 10 hits and a few more that made the top 30. Add that with a few more hits by lead singer Frankie Valli, they might be the most successful American male vocal group of all time. In 1989, The Four Seasons went back out on the road for a reunion, playing to sold - out audiences all over the world. Their concert in Holmdell, New Jersey is the one highlighted here on this live album.

All the hits fans are dying to hear are here - "Sherry", "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Walk Like A Man", "Rag Doll", "Bye Bye Baby (Baby Goodbye)", "Let's Hang On" and many more. My only complaints are that their 2 big '70s hits ("Who Loves You" and the number 1 hit "December 1963 (Oh What A Night)") and newer material as well as Valli's 5 biggest solo hits, are included in complete versions while the classic 1960s' materials are banished to medley form. Still, they remain some of the best music ever recorded. And Valli's solo spot on "My Eyes Adored You" show that his voice just gets better with age, and the Seasons' harmonies remain beautiful. There are also two then - new recordings that might have been big hits had they been released as singles: "Spend The Night In Love" and "Heaven Must Have Sent You (Here In The Night)".

Overall, a great live show. The Four Seasons remain timeless faces in pop music today. There music will outlast anything by Eminem, Britney Spear, Christina Aguilerra, Ashanti, Beyonce, 50 Cent, G Unit, D 12 and so on and so forth. Get this album today and you won't be sorry. Have I ever let you down?

The biggest group of the pre - Beatles '60s' (1960 to January 1964), The Four Seasons were the first group in history to have 3 consecutive # 1 singles, and their career lasted well through 1968. The original nucleus of the group disintegrated in 1971, so lead singer Frankie Valli began a highly successful solo career that yielded two number one hits, "My Eyes Adored You" and "Grease", plus a string of top 40 hits including "Swearin' To God" and "Our Day Will Come". In 1976, The Four Seasons reformed with Valli as the only original member, and scored a # 1 hit with "December 1963 (Oh, What A Night)". After a few more mid - charting singles, the new version of the band broke up in the early 1980s', during which Valli regained his hearing. In 1989, the latter - day 4 Seasons reunited and went on tour. Their electrifying performance in Holmdel, New Jersey is included on this cd.

Beginning with a rauous version of "She Loves You", the band has clearly not lost its touch. Valli's voice still sparkles like wine, although his falsetto his died down a bit. He sounds young and alive on "December, 1963", "My Eyes Adored You" and "Our Day Will Come". The rest of the group's harmonies shine throughout the cd, especially on the clsoing medley and the closing chorus on "My Eyes Adored You". Also included are two new recordings not available anywhere else: "Spend The Night In Love" and "Heaven Must Have Sent You (Here In The Night)". Both are great songs in vain of the 1960s' charttoppers. And original member and songwriter Bob Gaudio pops up onstage for all to brief a moment.

This cd showcases that after over 30 years, the group is still one of the finest acts out there. This was also the first Four Seasons cd I ever bought, so it does hold a lot of emotional value for me. Classic.

Wow! This is such a great album. It is so full of energy and the songs from the past. You see the list of songs on Amazon's list. It's all the 4 Season biggies. Play it LOUD, in the car. It'll rev you up. Sing along with the oldies. The medleys are great, too. The "20" songs include the medleys. There are only xxx tracks, but 20 songs in all. On a scale of 1 - 5, this album is at least a 10 or better.

Right now (May 2007), there is a musical out there called "Jersey Boys". It's about the life of Franki Valli and the 4 Seasons and has a lot of these songs in it. I just saw it in Manhattan. If you get a chance, see it. It's excellent and the music (this music) will have you clapping and stomping.
