回味一张经典 CD

同事 John 因事回美国, 有一段时间了, 据说这个月底回来. 我今天突然想到, 我应该让他帮我买什么回来.

于是上 Amazon 搜索, 果真还能找到. Air Supply - Greatest Hits Live: Now & Forever [LIVE]. 把链接发给 John, 他立刻答应帮我带一张回来.

12 年前买过这张 CD 的盗版. 完美的现场版! Air Supply 乐队在台北的演唱会, 那配乐真是优美, 配合 Hitchcock 的高亢嗓音. 真的是百听不厌. 后来听 Air Supply 的录音版歌曲, 都觉得不如这现场的好. 后来有人借走我这张 CD, 还回来的时候, 碟面花了. 郁闷至极,

看这位哥们儿的 review 的第一段, 就已经有足够的吸引力了.

The best way to sum up Air Supply's "Greatest Hits Live: Now and Forever" is that this is not your regular live album. This album brings 10 of the best Air Supply songs performed live with the Taipei Symphony Orchestra. There are two studio songs: There is a new song called "The Way I Feel" and a remake of an earlier Air Supply classic "Now and Forever". The live songs are really the pieces that are going to fuel this album's strength. The live pieces were recorded in Taipei, Taiwan in 1995. Air Supply's days as a hit-making machine had long passed for about 12 years now. By 1995, the band still had a solid following (especially outside the U.S.), so by finally releasing a live album almost 20 years into their careers they had nothing to lose. This effort would help continue to keep the existing fan base happy, help some of the old fan base rediscover Air Supply, and harvest some new Air Supply fans.

如果你哪天在街上看到有这张 CD, 不管是正版还是盗版, 买一张吧, 值得拥有!
