Despite the import of the occasion--an October 1972 night at America's most prestigious hall--what really impresses about Bill Withers's Live at Carnegie Hall is the good feeling and sense of interplay passed between the star, his band, and the audience. From the surpassingly casual opening of "Use Me" and its build through eight-plus minutes and an extended ending to the complexity and occasional joy of Withers's socio-personal "Lean on Me," "I Can't Write Left-Handed," and a medley of "Harlem" and "Cold Bologna," Carnegie is an underappreciated document of what for a moment was progressive R&B. Always one of music's most humble performers, Withers quietly, intensely proves his mettle over the length of this one-time double LP. --Rickey Wright

great album, same songs but performed with such gusto and soul that they seemed brand new, never tire of listening to it
Music as God intended...really-it's that good.
What? you don't have this album already??? well, what are you doing, stop reading this and go NOW!! or press purchase, whatever you need to do to enrich your life with this essential recording. Worth it just for harlem/cold balcony but the rest is just as good. Thanks Bill Withers.
"This strange man over here in Vietnam I don't ever now, ain't never done nothing to, God bless his heart, He done shot me in my shoulder!!.....and I can't write left-handed."
Good God, I love this album.
One of my FAVORITE albums!
I love this CD....soulful, personal, and the storytelling is intriguing. Bill Withers has always been one of the most underrated artists ever.
