    The first disc is a selection from different concerts, but the second disc is woth the price alone.

    It used to be out as The Great Show of Nina Simone, Live From Paris.

    Great sound and a great performance.

    LIVE performances of Simone over 22 year period good but too many pop songs for me.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2021

    This is one of two double CD sets that BMG released culled from live performances at the Annual Montreux (Switzerland) Jazz Fest going back to the late 1960s. Festival Founder Claude Nobs was not only a huge jazz fan but he wanted the performances preserved and in 2007 set up a foundation to create a digital archive. (Nobs died in 2013).

    Over the years there have been DVD releases (mostly from Eagle Rock Entertainment), but now come these “deluxe” packages. Similar sets from Nina Simone and Etta James were released the same day. I’ve been listening to both and love each one. In both cases there is one CD with songs from a half-dozen festivals and a second disc with a full concert. Of course, all were recorded LIVE and you can hear the audience reactions.

    The Simone set differs from the James set in the fact that a few of the songs on Disc One are repeated on Disc Two. (“See-Line Woman”, Backlash Blues” and one of her standards, Billy Taylor’s “I wish I Knew How it Would Feel To be Free”), Also, the song most associated with Simone – her protest piece “Mississippi Goddam” – is nowhere to be found among the 29 tracks. What we do get are a lot of pop “cover” songs: “The House of the Rising Sun” (Rolling Stones), “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” (The Animals) and TWO songs by The Bee Gees!

    The excerpted performances come from was early as 1976 and as late at 1990. The full concert is from 1968, so there is a range of 22 years on this set.

    Nobs was a musician too and often sat in with the band or accompanied the artists. The recording of “Montreux Blues” on the first disc (from July 1981) has just Simone at the piano and Nobs on harmonica, a fine performance of improvisation by both.

    Simone’s introductions to the songs are included the sound quality as well is – well – superb! With my headphones on, and my eyes closed, I felt I was there!

    Both sets (and I assume more are coming) are 5x5-inch hardbound books with the discs inserted both front and back, with 12 pages in between with all personnel, a bit about the Nobs Foundation and an essay by Stevie Chick.

    I enjoyed this set – as I love Simone – but the inclusion of the pop songs and the repeated tracks made me drop my rating on this one to four stars. It’s still worth getting if you are a Simone fan.

    The sound quality and packaging on this project are A+. Nina's vocals while sometimes raw are passionate throughout. Her piano playing of course is superb. Her banter and occasional short fuse with the audience is fascinating. So much talent, yet such a sad person. If only Nina realized how much her music crossed boundaries, racial and otherwise.

    This is a 2 CD set - the first disk is a compilation of several times she appeared at the festival. The second disk is a gem - a complete recording of her electrifying 1968 appearance at the festival. It is riveting and makes the listeners think as they listen.

    These lp are not the style that Nina Simone is known for. A bit disappointed but this is because of my expectations, not the quality of the album. Try to listen to it online before ordering. I don't regret the buy since it shows a bit different side of her.

    Nina SIMONE eccelsa pianista grande voce con una varietà di brani in tutta la sua carriera molto importanti e belli ,sia scritti da lei che da altri . Il primo pezzo solo piano di GERSHWIN è già tutto un programma seguito subito da Backlash Blues un pezzo sottolineato da una leggera batteria dal suo piano con la sua splendida voce al right all right TERZO TITOLO I wish i knew....inizia con il suo piano in evidenza con punteggiatura alle volte più forte , più marcata , e la sua inconfondibile voce alle volte dolce alle volte più soffusa un buon pezzo ,più che buono ,sottolineato dai molti applausi , SEE LINE WOMAN un pezzo con solo percussioni con accompagnamento del pubblico con battimani ritmico interessante la batteria , la SIDE 2 inizia con Little Girl Blue molto bello ,famoso, un bel brano ,non suo, ma con un piano iniziale in seguito intervento della SUA voce molto espressiva soffusa e il piano melodicamente commovente, che sottolinea le gocce che cadono sulla piccola ragazzina , un pezzo intenso come solo LEI sa creare , poi DON'T SMOKE IN BED , altro brano molto intenso giocato anche questo sulla voce e piano sempre in primo piano molto bello tanti applausi ,STARS , CAPOLAVORO come interpretazione sentita sofferta il piano delicatissimo la voce che delicatamente urla la sua sofferenza "verrò a cantare per te quando sono giù" un brano IMMENSO grande versione LIVE del 1976 , dopo WHAT A little moonlight can do ,più allegria,più ritmata ma dopo STARS qualunque brano perde. SIDE C Africa Mailman piano molto incisivo ritmato poi la batteria in rilievo , solista , brano debole, poi Just in time un po' jazzato ritmato piano che regge il pezzo ,buono , FOUR WOMEN altro CAPOLAVORO testo duro quattro donne che hanno subito le violenze della vita figli di schiavi un pezzo che è un calcio nella pancia musica bella ripetitiva ma testo e musica creano un insieme che ti abbaglia , il finale è magistrale , si chiude con NO WOMAN NO CRY ,bella versione degna fine della side 3 ,segue l'ultima side con Liberian Calypso allegra (run Nina corri Nina ) in preparazione al finale di questo ipotetico concerto a MONTREUX , NE ME QUITTE PAS , brano molto conosciuto ,di BREL , mi è sempre piaciuto molto la sua interpretazione magistrale è affascinante , molto bella , MONTREUX BLUES ,di Nina Simone , un jazz blues allegro bello il duetto piano armonica simpatico brano, e poi gran finale ,scontato, con MY BABY JUST CARES FOR ME , basta una nota e il pubblico accompagna e applaude bel brano grande successo di NINA , bel finale . Un album OTTIMO che consiglio unica pecca la copertina un po' vuota oramai si chiede una copertina con foto sopratutto in questo caso di un LIVE che è inciso con brani da diversi concerti ,mah sembra che le case discografiche non capiscano i desideri degli acquirenti dei vinili , peccato ma un album molto buono BONSOIR ......
