My Lives [Box set]

Amazon.com
For the casual fan, The Essential Billy Joel still does the trick. However, this five-disc set rewards fans who have stuck by the Piano Man through the last four decades. Packed with 66 tracks, 23 previously unreleased, My Lives includes rare solo demos, b-sides, soundtrack hits, unexpected cover songs and plenty of blackmail material. Before hitting his stride as a hugely successful pop artist, it turns out Joel put in time with psychedelic rockers (Lost Souls), pseudo R&B players (the Hassles) and a prog-metal duo (Attila). It's all here. What this collection reveals is that despite his fairly consistent mainstream output the singer never stopped experimenting. There is a reggae version of "Only The Good Die Young," a soulful reading of Leonard Cohen's "Light as the Breeze," supper club jazz with Duke Ellington's "In A Sentimental Mood," even classical interludes from his later years. There's room to grumble about what did and didn't make the cut, particularly with the stray album cuts, but this is a great testament to the range and restless spirit of the songwriter. The DVD features a 1993 concert filmed in Hamburg. --Aidin Vaziri

For the serious Billy Joel collector/Fanatic.......2007-02-20

This box is for very serious Billy Joel collectors/fanatics, who are looking for demos, b-sides, lives, soundtrack, alternative versions, and pre-Billy Joel solo/root material of songs. Some of the songs due to the nature of its recordings have some echoes and do not sound as great as the releases versions of the songs, however, the collector should expect that. The DVD is super since it includes software that allows you to remix 'Zanzibar', "I got to Extremes".

If this set was targeted for the serious collector, which I think it is, I don't see why we would need the album studio tracks of some songs such as innocent man, still rock 'n roll, since any fanatic of Billy Joel would have these songs on their original albums, and remasterd CDs, or even the great compilation.

In short, this box is for Billy Joel fanatics. Others would be served with "1973-97-Complete Hits Collection" much better.

Not that great.......2007-02-08

There is too much overlap with this CD and his *many* other compilations. One gets the feeling that the compilations try to inclue too much and are just unfocused. For example: He has included a live version of "Captain Jack" that didn't sound as good as the other live version on "Songs in the Attic." Another problem is that on his 4-volume "Greatest Hits," he included a question and answer session with the audience, but none of the alternate versions of songs that are included here. Real Billy Joel fans might have liked an extended Q&A session ALONG WITH the alternate versions of various tunes here.

Add to this the fact that many of the tunes that are here are easily found on his "Greatest Hits" CDs, and that true fans of his work will *already have that.*

Another thing that was not necessary was the last disc that included a lot of his live performances. His live performances (to put it charitably) leave a lot to be desired.

There are things that you can't find on here, like "Why Should I Worry?", but this CD is MOST DEFINITELY not worth the purchase price if new and *just barely* worth the purchase price second hand.

The Rest of the Story.......2007-01-09

I was very impressed with the album. Listening to the maturing process of great storyteller and get a glimpse into the origins of some of my favorite Billy Joel songs was incredible. This album reminds me of "Songs in the Attic," some of it raw, some of it refined, but all of it Billy Joel.

Billy Joel's musical life.......2006-10-04

This set is similar to the Beatles' three double-disc anthology series. You'll hear on this set,some of Billy Joel's recordings with his pre-solo bands,The Hassles,The Lost Souls and Attila. Joel didn't gain nationwide and worldwide fame until the release of PIANO MAN in 1973 or '74. The title of this set was inspired by one of his biggest hits,the similarly entitled MY LIFE. Just a few short months ago,Billy promoted this set giving a series of concerts,most of them at New York City's Madison Square Garden,resulting in the recording of the double-disc 12 GARDENS LIVE. Billy,a frequent performer at MSG,also recorded 2000 YEARS-THE MILLENIUM CONCERT there on New Year's Eve 1999 and New Year's Day 2000. You'll also hear demos of some of Billy's self-penned tunes and live versions of songs recorded during his two Face To Face tours with Elton John. This collection contains some previously released material also.

Simply Awesome.......2006-07-27

The last song of Billy's Joel's album, "The River of Dreams" seemed to be somewhat appropriate. On the song, "Famous Last Words", Billy sings the words "These are the last words I have to say; That's why this took me so long to write; There will be other words some other day; But that's the story of my Life". Billy Joel would soon proclaim that his 13th studio album, 1993's "The River of Dreams" would be his last original Rock/Pop album he would do. Following that album, Billy Joel would assume a place as an "elder statesman" of Rock. Instead of creating new music, he would spend his time touring, doing the College Lecture series (discussing his music), and dabbling in Classical Music. In a way, Billy would go into semi-retirement. As for new releases, with the exception of a classical release, "Fantasies and Delusions", most of Billy's releases would be devoted to live albums. In 1997, Billy released his first boxed set entitled "The Complete Hits Collection: 1973-1997". For the most part this was just a compilation of the three volumes of Billy's "Greatest Hits" albums with an additional that contained materials from Billy's "college lecture" series. This boxed set was a decent collection, but left many of his fans craving for more. Thus in 2006, Billy released his second boxed set entitled "My Lives". This 4 disc, 1 DVD collection is more of an anthology set covering unreleased songs, demo recordings, B-sides, rarities, soundtrack recordings, and live recordings - including a DVD recorded in Frankfurt from the "The River of Dreams" tour.

I've always looked at Billy Joel's career as having three phases. The first phase is what I call "Old Billy Joel". This basically includes all of his material from "Cold Spring Harbor" through "Turnstiles". These are perhaps the strongest days as the piano sound, but they also contain most of Joel's least heard material. The next phase is what I call "Middle Billy Joel". This was his most successful period and covers from "The Stranger" to "Billy Joel Greatest Hits Volume 1 and 2". Joel would go through a transition during this phase - expanding his musical horizons and exploring different avenues. The final phase is the "Later Billy Joel" phase - this covers "The Bridge" to "River of Dreams". "My Lives" actually extends this by including what I call "Pre Billy Joel" - materials from the 1960s with "60s" bands he was associated with. It also includes material from Joel's classical album, "Fantasies and Delusions".

There is so much that this collection has to offer. Here are nine highlights to look out to:

1. The pre-Billy Joel material really gives us a good feel for Billy's roots in Rock. The early songs that make up the first 5 tracks demonstrate Billy's roots in "60s Rock" (psychedelic, R&B, Beatle-sque). These tracks include Billy as part of other bands (The Lost Souls, The Hassles,Attila)

2. Perhaps the strongest point of this set are the "Alternative Versions of Songs". These are recordings with different lyrics and titles that became Billy Joel classics and songs released on albums. Included in this collection are" "New Mexico" (became "Worse Comes to Worst"); "These Rhinestone Days" (became "I Loved These Days"); "The End of the World" (became the B-side "Elvis Presley Blvd"); "The Prime of Your Life" (became "The Longest Time"); and "Motorcycle Song" (became "All About Soul"). I think "Motorcycle Song" is the best of the group.

3. Another strong point are "Alternate Takes of Songs". These are modified demo versions from an arrangement and melody standpoint. Included in this collection are: "Piano Man"; "Miami 2017"; "Only the Good Die Young"; "Christie Lee"; "And So It Goes"; "I Go to Extremes"; "Keeping the Faith" (a 12-inch version); and "The River of Dreams".

4. One thing many people may not realize is how strong a cover artist Billy Joel is. "Shout", "All Shook Up", "A Hard Day's Night", "Heartbreak Hotel", "Hey Girl", and "When You Wish Upon a Star" are the strongest covers that are included. Despite not including the "whole song", "Shout" might be the best cover Billy has done.

5. The live DVD from "The River of Dreams" tour is very good. It focuses on more of Billy's material from the second half of his career. The video quality is outstanding. I really enjoyed the inclusion of "No Man's Land" - an underrated track. Billy picking up the guitar for "We Didn't Start the Fire" and "A Hard Day's Night" is amazing. The only negative is that the disc doesn't show enough of Billy's sense of humor that he normally demonstrates in concert.

6. The collection does include several album cuts. I'm not sure if they are put in for filler or not, but with the exception of "It's Still Only Rock and Roll to Me" - these are cuts that haven't been seen on any previous "greatest hits" collections.

7.The 4th Disc includes a "hidden track". Billy has always demonstrated a sense of humor and this "hidden track" is a promo from 1980 for his "Glass Houses" album that I found very entertaining.

8.When it comes to Billy's work with Elton John, there isn't much out on the marketplace. It was nice they included live duets of "You May Be Right" and "A Hard Day's Night" with Elton John. (It should be noted that "A Hard Day's Night" was recorded in Frankfurt and is included on the DVD, but the DVD version doesn't have Elton John).

9.A good boxed set is always going to include a good booklet and "My Lives" is no exception. There is a detailed discography of the tracks as well as a list of awards. There also superb write-up on Billy by Anthony DeCurtis as well as some testimonials by people who knew Billy.

This "anthology"-style collection is as good as it gets. This collection not only will keep the serious Billy Joel fan happy, but even keep the casual fan entertained. Highly recommended.

Great Praise and Worship.......2007-05-13

Love the style of Glen Packiam and the guys. My presonal favorite is Endlessly. I felt the style was real, unique and not the cheesy worship music that you hear. More of a harder style, but still worshipful. "This is Our God" is a standard strong worship song I can see churches using. Great lyrics, I would recommend this CD.

Swept Away!.......2007-03-06

If you are looking for a CD that will do so much more than entertain you, this is your pick. These songs resonate with a passionate love of God, revelation of His majesty, and joyous celebration. I love to put it on and get swept into the presence of God as my heart finds expression through these songs. The recording is live, yet musically excellent. The thousands of added worshippers adds energy and annointing. I can't wait to purchase the DVD!!!!

Following hot on the heels of their enormously successful collaboration for The Lion King, Elton John and Tim Rice have once again culled their talents to create another Disney contemporary musical, based this time on Verdi's opera Aida. The album, recorded by some of the biggest talents of pop, country, and R&B, features songs from the stage show, which recounts the well-known tale of a love triangle further complicated by slavery, royalty, and the armed forces. John duets to great effect with country crooner LeAnn Rimes, the enchanting Janet Jackson, and the lovely Lulu of To Sir with Love fame. Lush and lively, the soundtrack hits a hoot of a (decidedly not highbrow) high point with the infectious pop of the Spice Girls warbling the merits of undergarments on "My Strongest Suit" ("Always wear underwear/Anytime, anywhere"). Lenny Kravitz funks things up with "Like Father Like Son." Shania Twain's husky emoting makes a fine pop ballad of the brief "Amneris' Letter." "Not Me" chronicles the goodness of love as Boyz II Men coo dreamily, their harmonies nestling into John's sumptuous score. --Paige La Grone

I would order from you again........2007-01-27

Product arrived in a timely manner in new condition, still wrapped in plastic. Thank you.

Loved it!!!.......2006-09-07

I'm so impressed with this album for several different reasons.
3) It's Elton John
2) I loved all but two of the songs!
1) I usually hate the original broadway cast albums and movie soundtracks. They don't do the songs justice. They usually have chopped up versions of the songs and include unnecessary dialouge.

I'd love to see every musical (broadway or movie) done this way!
I appreciate the b'way versions, but I don't want to listen to them in my car...

good variety and feeling.......2004-06-24

This is a very good CD. "Written in the Stars" is an extremely emotional song, and it is my favorite on the album. I would like to see the show on Broadway, but I have to say I don't think it can be too much better than this CD

Sour Concepts.......2003-06-29

It takes so much to try to get a musical to make its way upon Broadway. Sometimes you really need to understand how to make it really happen within the passion of the storytelling music. In that case with Elton John, he nearly seemed to make it with Aida. While the music for Broadway always seems to have at least something completely mgaical and a dash of power in it. Sometimes, you really need to understand it, to make it happen, and others don't see it from the start. Although Elton John has had great music for years, at least once in a era, something goes a little flat.

The 1999 Aida, was not a studio album from Elton, but a preview from what was happen on Broadway. The various artists record contains so many different artists in the record including Tina Turner, Boyz II Men, Dru Hill, and the upcoming Heather Headley. Before Heather made it as a singer, she made it right here in Aida, on this record. The only decent song that was a hit was Written In The Stars, which Elton performed with Leann Rimes. The song was also the last song Elton cracked Billboard's Top 40. Still, there really wasn't a lot of enjoyment within most of the record, and it fell into a sleeper. Considering that Elton is already planning on making another smash musical on Broadway, hopefully he'll do better with the concept record.

When it does come to making it on Broadway, it isn't really anything exciting, unless it truly is a smash, and Aida is a smash on Broadway, just not the record. Still, if you're a die hard fan of Aida, buy this record. Otherwise, it could be a hitless miss.

Living Elaborate Lives..........2002-11-02

Aida was Elton John and Tim Rice's baby, providing a concept soundtrack album before even setting the stage on fire, the tracks are generally sweeping show ballads.
Elton teams up with several lovely and talented ladies, in LeAnn Rimes, Janet Jackson, and Lulu. "Written In The Stars" could be a vocal gladiator battle, the way LeAnn and Elton sing it. Janet and Lulu prove themselves as more mellow duet partners.
Kelly Price makes "The Gods Love Nubia" her own, the song is tied up in soul with her voice being smooth as silk. The far too short "Amneris' Letter" shows off Shania Twain's voice to perfection also. Pop culture phenomenon the Spice Girls turn "My Strongest Suit" into the most obvious pop stomper of this set. Another strong point is Heather Headley's solo "Elaborate Lives". A rich ballad, Headley recently embarked on an R&B singing career with the track "He Is". The legendary Tina Turner provides a fiery perfomance, her track being the powerful "Easy As Life" with Angelique Kidjo.
Duds are also present, Sting and Dru Hill's tracks are admitted stinkers. James Taylor, Boyz II Men, Sherie Scott, and Lenny Kravitz also deliver perfomances on the album. This album is well put together, with strong tunes and a short-list of superstars presenting them. A fun buy.

Customer Reviews:

Hamlet sound track - Patrick Doyle.......2006-03-10

I spent a lot of time trying to get hold of this CD but I must say I am mildly disappointed. I thought Patrick Doyle's music for Branagh's Henry V was brilliant and that was why I was determined to obtain this sound track as well. Henry V is not Hamlet in terms of theme and plot but I think the music here tends to be too low key and lacking in drive, unlike Henry V. It is still very good in places and clearly the work of an excellent composer, but not quite up to Doyle's previous standard.

Beautiful masterpiece!!.......2002-02-22

Patrick Doyle has truly composed an awesome piece of work. The score is so well done that you can feel the emotion coming through the music alone. This is by far my favorite soundtrack and I listen to it quite often.

Fantastic collaborations.......2001-06-12

Doyle fans are aware that he collaborates regularly with actor/director, Kenneth Brannagh. With the Hamlet score, he again writes powerful complementary music which also stands alone as worthy to be performed in concert. I would be interested to hear lengthier tracks such as accompanied the lengthy, but indeed beautiful and patient, movie. (The only mistake was Billy Crystal in the movie. I thought Robin Williams did fine work.) Although, I confess, this is my least listened to in my soundtrack collection, I do enjoy it, and believe it deserves accolades.

Patrick Doyle's finest score.......2000-06-26

This is certainly one of my top 3 Patrick Doyle scores and a towering achievement. The score unfolds like a great romantic symphony encompassing several moods from serenity and inner peace ("In Pace"), to violence and lush gothic undertones ("The Ghost", "Now, could I drink hot blood"), and a finaly sense of joyous celebration ("Fanfare", "What Players are they?"). After listening constantly to Mr. Doyle's scores for "Henry V", "Much ado about nothing" and "Frankenstein", I thought he could never top such achievements and somehow he did: "Hamlet" is a masterpiece of thematic inventiveness and dramatic power. The playing is wonderful and the engineering is very clear, taking full advantage of Air Lyndhurst's glorious acoustics. If you are a fan of british classical music or a Shakespeare fan (or even better, a fan of Patrick Doyle), don't pass up this CD. Great film music. No: great music. Period!

Modern worship for youth and adults.......2007-05-16

Having liked Desperation Band, and also a fan of the work from Jared Anderson and Jon Egan, I bought this album with some anticipation. On most levels, the worship did not disappoint -- it's a solid, clean album that steers away from the Desperation Band's energetic style and utilizes a more adult approach, though the youth will also enjoy what's offered.

Nothing is quite original on this album but it still moves the soul, which is often enough for any worship project. "Endlessly" makes its way onto this album in a much more laid back fashion, and "Promises" retains its pop song feel. "Here In Your Presence" is another noteworthy song in the line of increasingly popular 3/4 rock ballads; it runs over eleven minutes and ends on a swelling repetition of the bridge. "Live to Worship" is perhaps the album's strongest song -- a simple worship ballad that sounds like it's been done, but its familiarity and melodic strength are to its advantage.

The album could've used a few more fast songs, and strangely, I noticed the drummer simply did not know how to accentuate any of the music. It seemed as though the drummer had never heard any of the songs before and decided to go with the easiest beat possible, which takes away from the dynamics and actually hurts the album's energy. If you make side-by-side comparisons of "Endlessly" and "Promises" with their original counterparts, the difference is too obvious to ignore. Still, the postproduction work with strings and keyboards really polishes the live performances without being distracting.

Bottom line -- Apart from its lack of originality and a decent drummer, this album is still worth buying because it's certainly better than a lot of worship out there. If you're looking for some new songs for your praise team at church, give this one a try.

music lover.......2006-05-18

I love this it sounds like a crazy concauktion of the smiths, new order and the sundays. The three go together masterfully love it.

My Favorite is mine.......2004-12-03

My Favorite is soooo meaningful.They generate an intense inner light that is almost alien to this world, yet i feel i know them.Their music is more than it sounds.Andrea is a modern angel who has the ability to evoke empathy and other-worldliness with a simple turn in melody.And Michael is a saint.What can i say about a mysterious thing.They are My Favorite.
Not since an angry teen heard NIRVANA has anyone experienced significance like this.
They are Beyond Nirvana.

Glorious.......2004-11-23

I am so happy that The Future Bible Heroes have led me to My Favorite.

Just buy this disc. Just go and buy it now. You're not bloody going to find it with any amount of ease or struggle, let me tell you, I hunted high and low before buying it off Amazon as being one of the less taxing options...

The second disc of remixes is worth the price of admission alone. Especially the FBH's remix of Homeless Club Kids, and Phofo's remix of Le Monster.

I can't stop singing these songs to myself especially the "dark shimmering jewel" of the entire two disc set "Burning Hearts" because you could be DEAD and this song will make you weep and dance and be sad and happy all at once....

So to quote the wonderful Dawn French, "I bow to thee." My Favorite.

Sanctus Jehanne D'Arc Ora Pro Nobis.

A dark, shimmering jewel.......2004-05-19

This 2CD compiles the three hard-to-find or out-of-print Joan of Arc trilogy EPs. There are also 4 "new" songs from a fourth never-released EP. This is music for New Order, Smiths, Pet Shop Boys, The Cure and Morrissey fans of all ages who are still 17 at heart. Few contemporary bands can touch me as dearly as The Faves. There's a nice review and bio of the band at allmusic.com

I know Andrea.......2004-02-28

I worked with Andrea and I enjoy this CD. The music is fabulous, and the vocals are superb.

Awesome.......2006-04-04

I loved the music on this cd. Thank you so much. My brother and I listen to it all the time.

Disney Always Rocks.......2005-09-29

Yeah looks like it's a great get, if you haven't already got every CD by disney. Didn't know the song You'll be In my Hear was a Tarzan track. Must be a spin off to You'll be in My Heart. Its all good.

Awesome collection!.......2003-10-19

I have to say, that with a 5 year old who is obsessed with the movies that these songs go with, it has made the perfect gift! She spends hours listening to this CD while doing more productive activities than sitting in front of a TV watching the movie. The songs are special to her because of the movies, and she actually does her schoolwork well with these fun songs playing. As a music lover and a Disney lover, we both agree at 5 and 30 that this is a hit.

For adult listeners, the Disney songs sung by "real" singers.......2003-07-22

Trivia Challenge: Included in the 16 tracks on "Disney's Superstar Hits" is the only song from a Disney film to hit #1 on the Billboard Pop Charts. See if you can remember which one it is before I give the answer away at the end. No peaking ahead.

The songs collected on "Disney's Superstar Hits" are mostly from the 1990s; there is "Once Upon a Time in New York City" from way back in 1988 from "Oliver and Company" and a few songs from the 21st century. But the only golden oldie is "Put It Together (Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo)," which comes from "Cinderella II" and not the original. The obvious frame of reference would be to see this collection as representing the Disney Renaissance ushered in by the Alan Menken/Howrad Ashman era, which makes it strange that nothing from "Little Mermaid" is included. But the common denominator to this collection is that the songs are not sung by the characters from these films, or, more properly, the people who did the voices for the characters. So instead of Angela Landsbury doing "Beauty and the Beast" it is Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson.

There are several songs from the less than stellar direct to video Disney sequels, such as "The Hunchback of Notre Dame II," "The Lion King II: Return to Pride Rock," "and "Cinderella II," which would be a minor complaint. But Tina Turner sings one of the songs, so it is hard to complain. In fact, the strength of this collection is indeed the superstar singers. Most of them are blasts from the past such as Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Phil Collins, Sting, Huey Lewis, and Randy Newsman, but there is also new blood such as Christina Aguilera, Sarah McLachlan, Vanessa Williams, and even Jennifer Love Hewitt. Peabo Bryson comes out ahead, with the aforementioned "Beauty and the Beast" and another duet, "A Whole New World" with Regina Belle.

This disc is perfect for grown ups, who like the "real" singers singing the best songs from the Disney movies their kids have been dragging them to for the past decade. Vanessa William's "Colors of the Wind" is my personal favorite, although it is hard not to recall the fantastic opening of "The Lion King" when you hear Elton John do "Circle of Life." On the fun side of the ledger I like Randy Newman and Lyle Lovett working their collective ways through "You've Got a Friend in Me" a bit more than Jimmy Cliff and Lebo M's "Hakuna Matata."

Trivia Answer: "A Whole New World" was #1 on the Billboard Pop Chart for one week starting on March 6, 1993. It is the song that replaced Whitney Houston's cover of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" after 14 weeks on top.

Good CD.......2002-12-29

This is a great CD, but I was kind of disappointed that there weren't more tracks on it. Other than that, you and your kids will be singing along in the car for sure.

Customer Reviews:

The style is the man--and the song.......2001-05-02

Many composers have chosen to perform their own material and commit it to discs, with mixed results. Only with Noel Coward do we feel that a good deal of the charm of his numbers lies in the very way he performs them. For proof, we now have the Naxos Nostalgia (8.120529), which dishes up 16 tracks of the ultra-refined son of W. S.Gilbert, giving us six selections from "This Year of Grace," one from "Bittersweet," a medley of treasures from his "Cavalcade," another from his other works, and a few other trifles that are better than most of what is written today.

Add to all this two classical scenes with Coward and co-star Gertrude Lawrence from his "Private Lives," incredibly valuable for those local drama groups who butcher this work in that this CD can teach them the tone and rhythms that are essential in making this classic succeed.

The subtitle of this set is "The Complete Recordings, Volume 1: 1928-1932." So we can look forward to future offerings featuring this fascinating composer-lyricist-performer. Thank you, Naxos, yet again.
