The India-born crooner dazzles his adoring audience with romantic ballads. While he could never rival Elvis in terms of icon status, Engelbert Humperdinck could put on quite a show. Highlights of the album include an energetic take on Kris Kristofferson's Help Me Make It Through the Night and a tender version of Rodgers Hammerstein's You'll Never Walk Alone, along with a show-stopping medley of Engelbert's signature numbers. For fans seeking a vintage Humperdinck live outing, this is the best album on the market (taken from Engelbert's website). The recording gives the listener the audio image of truly being present, in the front row, that night. If you like the Vegas lounge singer type of music this is the best I've heard.
