One Wild Night? Well, that's not strictly true, as this live album was recorded at Bon Jovi concerts spanning three decades. But why be pedantic when the result is a live album that effectively doubles as a greatest-hits collection? Bon Jovi's songs are tailor-made for stadiums and arenas, and, from classic fist-in-the-air rockers ("Livin' on a Prayer," "Bad Medicine," "You Give Love a Bad Name," "Runaway") to lighters-in-the-air numbers ("Keep the Faith," "Wanted Dead or Alive," "Something to Believe In"), the choices are suitably larger than life. The career-reviving single "It's My Life" sounds right at home, as do great covers of Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World" (recorded, appropriately enough, in Johannesburg in 1995) and the Boomtown Rats' "I Don't Like Mondays" (performed with Sir Bob Geldof). --Robert Burrow

IT'S ONE WILD NIGHT, ALRIGHT!!!.......2007-02-17

Words cannot describe how awesome BON JOVI is!!! I am their #1 fan and no other group in this world produces such quality / entertaining / heartfelt music. I RECOMMEND YOU BUY ONE WILD NIGHT and ALL OF THEIR CDs!!!

Live Concert Versions of Bon Jovi's Greatest Hits.......2007-01-19

"One Wild Night: Live 1985-2001" by Bon Jovi, Is a compilation of Bon Jovi's best songs, performed at various concert events from 1985 to 2001. For Bon Jovi fans, it's classic Bob Jovi and a Must Have! If you like music recorded from "Live" performances, You will love this album! If you prefer "Studio-Cut" versions, you may not like this album because it has the sound and feel of a live concert.

zero stars.......2005-11-13

One WEAK night!...zero stars if that was available. I never realized Bon Jovi was this bad a live band. They obviously get a LOT of production help in the studio because this album (several different concerts in several different venues) is ALL bad. Sorry for them and sorry for me for buying it.

Bon Jovi rocks.......2005-08-09

I found this CD to be extemely uplifting, great music to listen to while driving.

not a greatest hits album.......2005-05-14

This is not Bon Jovi's greatest hits, and that's the only bad thing that anyone who likes Bon Jovi can say about this. It's a fun collection of some live great live performances. Bon Jovi is great in concert, interacting with the crowd, and building up the energy and fun. You can hear that the audience and performers had a great time. If you like Bon Jovi, then this is certainly worth the money!

Customer Reviews:

Karate Kid Lives On.......2007-07-18

As a fan of 80's movies such as the Karate Kid series, it's fun to revist the nostalgia of the film in the music. Being able to play the music while traveling or even while at home relaxing, creates the mood and the enjoyment of the exciting story. You have to enjoy singing along with "You're the Best Around". But there is a better collection of Karate Kid Music now. There is a collection of the Scores of all four movies. For the die hard fan of the Karate Kid oriental music, the Score collection (though expensive) is the best to have, however, having both is the full experience since the score doesn't include the popular music.

Bill Conti Karate Kid collection released.......2007-03-31

I'm such a fan of the Karate Kid films -- at least the first two -- that I'll take anything I can get. This is a great set that reminds me of the film, but it's missing Bill Conti's music. However, Varese Sarabande has just released (March '07) a 4-CD set containing Bill Conti's score to ALL FOUR Karate Kid movies. It's a limited press run of 2000 copies, available only on their website. It's fantastic. Now all I want is a CD of the Karate Kid Part II soundtrack that I had on cassette, containing Dennis DeYoung, New Edition, Carly Simon, et al. -- that would make me deleriously happy.

Not worth it........2007-02-13

The only reason I'm giving this 2 stars instead of 1 is "Moment of Truth" by Survivor. It's a song that bears repeated listening, unlike the others, which are throwaways. You can download "Moment of Truth" on iTunes or just about any music download site, so I wouldn't even bother getting this.

It's a shame that Bill Conti wouldn't release his orchestral music, with the Pan Flute and string-sounding instruments, in a wide release. That's the heart and soul of the film, in my opinion. I checked on the Varese Sarabande website, and a limited edition of the Bill Conti score for all 4 movies in one 4-disc set is indeed available; exclusively through them, of course. There's a limited supply, and the sets are about $45 each. I don't know why they couldn't have the soundtrack for each movie available separately, and why they had to make it a limited supply. Anyway, if you want the scores for just the first 2 movies (minus a couple of the tracks on the "official" releases), for much cheaper, just copy and past the following into Google; you'll come across some sites that have it, (legally as far as I know): Karate Kid Score "Bill Conti" MP3. I unfortunately can't post the URL per the Amazon review guidelines.

Missing Zamfir Music.......2006-06-15

This would have been the only reason I would have bought it, but it's missing from the soundtrack. Luckily I found this track on the Kill Bill Vol 1 album.

Songs aren't too bad..........2006-03-25

The songs on this are okay. It was really fun to hear the music from an awesome 80's movie!

The 1980s were about excess and Heart, with those sweeping chords and soaring vocals, were as representative of the decade's musical immoderation as anyone. True, this collection of Heart stretches up to the mid-'90s, but Heart's sensibilities were thoroughly entwined with '80s guitar rock. This collection reaches only back to 1985, so it lacks such early hits as "Barracuda" and "Magic Man." It's also marred by filler, such as Ann Wilson's lugubrious duet with Cheap Trick's Robin Zander on "Surrender to Me," which originally appeared on the soundtrack to Tequila Sunrise. Still, since much of Heart's late-'80s and early-'90s output is no longer in print, this collection is your best opportunity to get some of their more recent rockers and power ballads on CD. --Genevieve Williams

very diverse cd covering a lot of years. I like it and my wife loves it.

Ya Gotta Have Heart..........2007-01-10

This cd has that Heart favourite, All I wanna do is make love to you.It is worth getting just for this great poignant song.I enjoy this cd because Heart songs usually tell a story not just repeat words over and over in a few phrases.Worth the trip down memory lane.

THE GREATEST OF THEIR WORK!!.......2006-08-15

This CD is the greatest of Heart's work!! I enjoy every song and the older ones bring back memories. I look forward to more of their great songs.

All of Heart's Pop/Rock Incarnation Hits.......2006-02-20

The mid 80's to early 90's was Heart's commercial peak. These are not their best songs, but they are the ones that were big hit singles. Very well crafted and expertly executed, these songs dominated pop radio at the time. Ann Wilson is the best female rock singer ever and she is in top form, as always.

This unjustly forgotten masterpiece was in many ways the last great creative gasp for the late, great country songwriter-singer Roger Miller, who died in 1992. After he wrote countless country gems like "Invitation to the Blues," "King of the Road," and "Dang Me" during the 1950s and '60s, Miller's creative muse ran dry in the early 1970s. The drought continued until he made a remarkable comeback by penning the 20-song score and contributing vocals to the soundtrack of this 1985 Broadway adaptation of Mark Twain's literary classic. Big River still stands as a dazzling, heartwarming slice of musical Americana and the final crowning achievement in one of country music's most celebrated careers. --Bob Allen

Customer Reviews:

Wonderful.......2007-03-24

This is a very cute musical. Do not be fooled this is a mark twain book, not your Dr.Suess. So use caution and don't buy this unless you can listen to the quality of music and not nessicarily the lyrics. But I love the story and it is a great buy. But seeing it live is really good. I enjoyed it. The best song is the Royal Nonesuch.

AMERICAN GOLD.......2007-03-06

Many people probably only know Roger Miller from the somewhat goofy songs that he wrote, but he was truly a genius who wrote and performed a variety of songs. There is such a variety of songs here written in several different styles. Some of the serious songs are fully as good as the lighthearted songs. This truly does show what an amazing person Roger Miller was and his mastery of many different types and styles of music. After listening to the music, I would love to see a stage production of this, as I never have. There aren't many show albums that sound interesting enough to make you want to go see the play, but this one sure does. I guess the only disappointment is that Roger Miller doesn't perform any of the songs himself. Most of the songs are quite short (averaging probably around two minutes each), but much of Miller's output consisted of short songs. Perhaps it is because he could say more in two minutes that many song writer's could in four (or more). It's a shame that this hasn't become more well known and performed more often. Cats (for example) had a very long run and some people think it was awful.

Best Musical - 1985.......2006-12-29

Winner of the 1985 Tony for Best Musical, Roger Miller, best known for his sixties classic "King Of The Road", provides a fine score for this adaptation of Twain's "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn". The cast, led by Daniel Jenkins, Ron Richardson, John Goodman, Rene Auberjonois & Patti Cohenour, are terrific & have great voices to match.

While the score is not without its flaws, there are several excellent songs:

Waitin' For The Light To Shine
Guv'ment
Muddy Water
River In The Rain (my personal favorite)
Worlds Apart
You Oughta Be Here With Me
Leavin's Not The Only Way To Go

One of the Greats.......2006-12-24

This is simply one of the greatest musicals of our time by one of the best song writers,"The King of the Road," Roger Miller. So many wonderful songs will just leave you with a goofy smile on your face. ENJOY IT!!!

A go-to-favorite..........2007-07-14

I admit I purchased this package of work when it went on sale due to the value but it surprized me with its unique collection of warmth and song selection. There's a great deal of surprise and comfort in the retrospective that makes this one of my most played selections. Mr. Hornsby's talent and honesty comes through in a superior collection. The artist that he plays with are top notch, and the quality of the recordings are first rate. You can't niss with this purchase.

So you're thinking..."But I already have all the albums..........2007-07-01

...so do I really need to buy the box set?"

Let's assume you're like me: you own all the Bruce Hornsby albums (except Greatest Radio Hits), but

(a) you haven't obsessively bought every album of any artist where he's played in at least one track (you didn't buy Two Rooms, for instance, just to hear Hornsby play "Madman on the Water");
(b) you don't own any singles;
(c) you're not the concert-trading type.

Eliminating album versions of songs from this 53-track (not counting DVD) collection, I found 38 tracks had music I didn't yet own. 71% new!

What's in those 38 tracks?

* The various instrumental lettered songs, from Song A through Song H.
* Great versions of non-Hornsby-authored songs like "Darlin' Cory", "Jack Straw", and "Madman Across the Water."
* A good number of unique new live versions of older songs, such as a haunting version of "A Night on the Town" and a great piano-only rendition of "Sticks and Stones"--as well as the traditional "The Way It Is", "Mandolin Rain", and the rest.

Like another reviewer, I've found Disc 2 my favorite; it contains a number of instrumental pieces and collaborations on songs by other musicians. Of the four CDs, it contains the largest amount of material I didn't own or hadn't heard before.

But don't discount the other CDs. There are some great live versions on each. To get the best listening experience, if you already own all the studio albums, you may want to burn your own custom CDs from this set to pare this down to three CDs or so.

So for the price of about two CDs, you're getting three new CDs' worth of material, plus a DVD that contains music videos and concert footage, including a couple of songs, like "Go Back to Your Woods", that aren't on the CDs.

I'd call that a good deal.

Great Collection.......2007-05-12

Great collection for those who don't get to see Bruce very often. Disc 2 is my favorite.

Astonishing.......2007-04-07

This boxed set of Bruce Hornsby's music is simply astonishing.

For a few years, in the late-1980s, Bruce was hot commercially, producing a string of hits. (Re-visiting his music by listening to this boxed set, it's surprising how many hits he had!) Then the public's musical taste moved on. For a while, that bothered him, because he wasn't selling as many records as he had. But, he told me a few years ago, he finally stopped worrying about trying to please a fickle record-buying public. Instead, he decided to simply work on his craft.

That's why the music on Intersections is astonishing. Many of the 53 songs in the set are live. (For those who want to hear the hits exactly as they sounded, there's a DVD included of the 1980s videos made of those hits.) But his playing from more recent years shows that his musicianship is far better now than it was when the public was in love with him! And, since he's not worried about selling records, his music has become beyond classification. He was a classically-trained piano perfomance major in college. Some of the selections on Intersections are classical -- almost. His various arrangements turn many of his hits into jazz -- almost.

Maybe I can describe it in this way: Bruce plays rock and roll from the foundation of classical training, and, in the performance, the songs stretch out with jazz-like improvising. His band is full of incredibly accomplished musicians who are able to play off each other like members of a jazz group do. But there are also many solo pieces in the set. And there are songs Bruce plays with the Grateful Dead, with the Nitty Gritty Dirt band and Ricky Skaggs (bluegrass), with Branford Marsalis (one of the best working saxophonists today); there's even one track of Bruce playing free jazz with the legendary Ornette Coleman!

It is comon in jazz for musicians to play "the standards." Each time, the song is recognizable, but the arrangements and interpretations are so varied that it is as if listening to a new song. The same thing impresses me about the music in this boxed set. Consider each Bruce Hornsby song to be a "standard." The presentations are so diverse in this set that, each time, it is as if listening to a new song.

Intersections is a collection of tracks from a unique, highly accomplished and simply astonishing musician.

A new direction for Bruce Hornsby.......2007-02-09

Having only heard a couple of songs of Hornsby's from the 80s eg The Way it is etc, i saw this box set and thought it would be like so many other collections. the classic collections are all of the songs of the times with unrecorded versions and with a few live versions as well.

i was surprised by the fact that this was not what i expected and there are not many of the original recordings and many of them have been totally reworked and taken in a new direction which has been sensational. I actually prefer a lot of the rearrangements to the original recordings.

For those who like to hear a song as it was originally recorded track down the original albums and relisten to them. That is one of the benefits of having recordings of the songs, in that you can listen to them when you want.

There is a dvd of many of his clips which gives some of the original recordings for those who do want them.

If you like the concept of a musical journey with the composer then get your hands on this set as you get a better idea of how music is so important to him. It goes beyond any expectations i had and it is much better than i could have hoped for.

This is essential buying for any person who loves piano based music.

Known for a terrifying rendition of Otis Redding's hit "(Sittin' On The) Dock of the Bay" (among others), Michael Bolton tears up every classic soul tune he can get his hands on. Ray Charles' "Georgia on My Mind" and Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman" take on completely new meanings in the hands of this former hard rock singer. This 2 CD, 17-cut retrospective includes all the songs that catapulted him to mega-stardom and plenty of others that show him as just another sincere fool for love ("I Promise You" and "I Found Someone"). Just as Meatloaf turned up the juice on the histrionics of Bruce Springsteen, Bolton takes the soul singer out of the smoky nightclub and into the hockey arena for the whole world to hear. --Rob O'Connor

My Mistake.......2007-07-06

I never really heard Michael Bolton before and though I give it a chance.
Sorry, but none of the songs are original and he adds nothing to the old mix or creating trying a new one.

Good Cd.......2007-01-30

I bought this cd for my dad. From what I heard, it's pretty ok...

My favorite CD.......2006-10-08

I have a gazillion CD's but this one is my absolute favorite. I hate loud music but when I put this on I crank it up, can't get enough of it. No one can come close to the power and soul in Michael's voice. I am a professional singer myself and am a pretty good judge of vocal ability. I strongly recommend this recording.

Puttin' the GREATEST back in Greatest Hits.......2006-09-29

This album is a must-have for any Michael Bolton fan. The essence of his amazing abilities are captured in this compilation. Although I find it strange that the album is called "Greatest Hits 1985-1995," yet there aren't any songs from 1985. Hmmmm....

Simply an awesome album. Thank you, Michael Bolton.

Five stars is not enough for Michael Bolton.......2006-05-17

Please tell the Amazon.com review writers that five star is excellent and a single star is terribly poor performance. So that when they write glowing reviews they will use the right stars to represent what they have to say. They gave the man an overall score of less than five stars for goodness sake. However, when you read what they have to say, they are swooning and drooling like lovesick puppy dogs over the man's songs. Although I do understand the swooning and drooling - Michael Bolton does that to you. So do the review right or do not write at all.

Great tunes you'd remember if you where there!.......2007-01-17

Check out the details...if you like the songs, then there you go!

YOU MUST GET.......2007-01-12

This collection is terrific. During the 85-89 era, I was a teenager, and this brings back all the great memories.

Maybe This Will Help?.......2004-08-29

First off, I won't argue what's here because these songs are good enough to be in this collection. Now that I got that out of the way, here is the real problem: licencing. Madonna and company are not here for that reason alone. However, by looking at the song list, you may buy the songs you want but don't have. You can also buy each CD separately. There are other options then this to summerize.

Billboard top hits 1985-1989 box set.......2004-06-19

I was just going to buy this music box set when I suddenly remembered two great songs of 1985, which are: Born in the USA and Careless Whisper. Am I wrong? or weren't they hits? Where are they? I think they could have left out two other songs and included the ones I mentioned, because they were #1 hits. It just got me thinking that this box set is really not so great.

Customer Reviews:

Great stuff.......2007-07-18

The Blasters were truly original. Many people think of them as only a Rockabilly band (which they did extraordinarily well), but as this set confirms, they blazed a wide path. Truly a great band and a great CD set to showcase that. I'm very pleased with the purchase.

skip the first 12.......2007-06-10

skip the first twelve cuts, they are a work in progress, the rest really rock with that retro fifties/eighties punk attitude, well written songs....and guitar energy...

ALL IN ONE.......2007-01-10

IF YOU LIKE THE ROCKABILLY SOUND THIS IS FOR YOU. GREAT SONGS FROM ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS FROM U.S.A., THIS COLLECTION HAVE ALL THE SONGS YOU SHOULD NEED TO HAVE FROM THE BLASTERS, A CLASICC RECORD!!!

Rebirth rock & roll.......2004-06-21

I was born in 1955. When I first heard the Blasters, it was like being born again ! I don't see how I could add to the praises others have bestowed upon this fabulous album right here, but I just wanted to insist on one point one fellow came up with : Pleeeeeaaaaaaase, re-release Phil Alvin's Unsung Stories on CD ! What on earth must we do ? Start a petition here on Amazon ? Meet in the street and start a demonstration ? A riot maybe ? Pleeeeeeeaaaaase, re-lease Unsung Stories !

Rave on! Blasters Rule!.......2004-06-19

This band was the only thing that made the 80's bearable.

The Blasters put the roll back in rock.

Celebrate them.

Love them.

LISTEN to them.

Loudly.

Daily.

Dig?

Amazon.com

As celebrated as Afrika Bambaataa has been, until now his music has remained scattered across disparate collections. That's what makes Looking for the Perfect Beat such a welcome release. Collecting 11 of Bam's sides on one CD, the album neatly summarizes his seminal studio recordings, beginning with both versions of 1980's true-school grail, "Zulu Nation Throwdown," and ending with 1985's "Funk You." The tracks are all restored to their uncut full-length 12-inch mixes. The highly influential Arthur-Baker productions "Planet Rock," "Looking for the Perfect Beat," "Renegades of Funk," and "Frantic Situation" are the main draws here. But don't sleep on "Unity Pt. 1" from 1984's fiery meeting between James Brown and Bam. A completist might wish for "Death Mix," and while a set like this demands liner notes, there are none to be had. But, for now, thank the funk gods the void has been filled. --Jeff Chang

Great Old School.......2007-05-14

If you are a fan of early Hip Hop, then this is a CD for you.

Planet Rock.......NOT!.......2006-10-31

I bought this hoping the Planet Rock Track was the original. It ain't.

They credit the original Kraftwerk members, so I thought for sure this would be it. Unfortunately, it's a new performance with another keyboard sound. Consequently this Planet Rock sounds gratuitous and has lost all it's originality and cool.

While I'm still relatively happy with the purchase, those of you looking for the original track - keep looking!

The Essence of Hip Hop!.......2006-04-12

Even if you just buy this CD just for Planet Rock, it is a GEM in its self. This CD displays what Hip Hop is all about expressing yourself and having fun at the same time.

Almost Perfection.......2004-08-16

This CD has almost everything. The early hits with Zulu Throwdown was just an appetizer to whet the true-schooler's appetite,then you can feast on Planet Rock, Looking for the Perfect Beat,etc. The only letdown was it did'nt have Play It At Your Own Risk, a couple of songs at the end of the collection could have been left off. But in my opinion its money well spent.

Starts slow, but ends hot!.......2004-06-27

To my taste, this CD is back-loaded with hits. The first couple of tracks are OK but the rapping doesn't reach the potential of the music. When it comes to the last few, however, "Who do you think you're funkin' with" being the best example, you may not be able to keep your jaw from dropping. I honestly do not think that these tracks (with the Sugar Hill Gang backing up) have ever been surpassed in the hip-hop genre. They are so dense and complicated and incredibly arranged.

Disclaimer, however: I saw this band live in 1988 and it changed my life. I am so happy to have this album finally to refresh my memories of that amazing night.

Underrated Diva!.......2007-06-01

Since I was very young I've been hooked on Stephanie Mills. She has certaintly stood the test of time and what a powerhouse set of vocals! This is a great set of her hits, except it is missing The Medicine Song, but I'll forgive. Anyone catch the similarities with Melinda Doolittle (from American Idol) and Stephanie? Paula did!

Super!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-08-13

This woman is a true talent it is a pure shame how she is not recognized and revered like she should be. This just shows you the shallowness of the entertaiment industry.

Stephanie is the best she is legit no flesh peddler no egotist just pure shear talent and penertrating voice

THE EXTRAORDINARY.!.......STEPHANIE MILLS.......2003-08-20

THE MCA YEARS -SHOWCASED A DAZZLING DISPLAY OF VOCAL TALENT AND EFFORT BY MS. MILLS ALONG WITH SONGWRITERS ANGELA WINBUSH, LALA, ROBERT BROOKINS, SUPER PRODUCERS GEORGE DUKE , NICK MARTINELLI,
AND MS. MILLS HERSELF- REMEMBER "I'VE LEARNED TO RESPECT THE POWER OF LOVE", THE NOW CLASSIC "HOME"-YOU'RE PUTTIN A RUSH ON ME" THE TANTALIZING "RISING DESIRE" THE ROMANTIC "I FEEL GOOD ALL OVER" THE SASSY SEXY "COMFORT OF A MAN" "SOMETHING IN THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL"?,, IF YOU DON'T... YOU NEED TO REVISIT STEPHANIE AND ORDER THIS CD TODAY ..I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THIS LEGEND LIVE IN CONCERT 5 TIMES.. AND SHE IS THE DEFINITION OF A SINGER,DIVA ETC. AND HOPEFULLY ONE DAY PEOPLE WILL RECOGNIZE THIS- SHE IS UNDERRATED BUT NEVERTHELESS A GIFTED AND EXTRAORDINARY TALENT.....BRAVO! STEPHANIE BRAVO!

A good collection from a very underrated Diva.......2002-10-17

Stephanie Mills is by far the greatest soul artist in the world. Why? must you ask because where can you find a soulful voice none other than Patti Labelle Aretha Franklin and Dionne Warwick. MCA now releases the first part of Stephanie Mills MCA years. Not only do you get the Angela Winbush produced I learned to respect{The power of love} from Stephanie's self-titled 1985 MCA debut and the song Home from Stephanie's 1989 album of the same name. This cd also includes the fun Bit By Bit Stephanie's top hit and the theme song to the Chevy Chase comedy Fletch {This is a short remix of this song but if you want the extended version get the Fletch soundtrack which is now out of print} Get this collection if you can and see for yourself a diva with lots of soul. I would also recommend any cd by Cheryl "Pepsii" Riley especially her out of print Chapters if you want to hear a voice like Stephanie Mills and also Stephanie's recent gospel album...

The Best Diva!.......2002-07-09

Recently, I attended the 2002 Hampton Jazz Festival. The shows included Patti Labelle, Tina Marie and of course Stephanie. Stephanie blew away everyone. Tina and Patti were excellent, but Stephanie was the one with the heavenly voice! I maintained that Patti was the best female singer of all time - until Ms. Stephanie graced us with hear blessed pipes. I take my hat off to Ms. Stephanie. Today with fabrcated music - here is what a True DIVA should sound like...... The CD is a must....
