Sylvester – Living Proof

This is the moment gay liberation peaked; the night this was recorded at the SF Opera House with the Two Tons and an incredible band including Patrick Cowley. The exchange of love between audience and performers and the incredible show Sylvester puts on makes this one of the most powerful live albums of all time. Can't believe this is still going for so cheap.

Apparently was also released as a single LP with the same catalog number? My copy mentions only one disc

live album

This is a hands down classic of the disco era, capturing the mighty Sylvester and the Two Tons O Fun at their peek; 35 years on, Living Proof's continued relevance, exhuberance and uniqueness has only become more apparent. 3 parts live and 1 part studio recording, Living Proof present Sylvester at a key point of transition in his career where he is moving more toward his soul and cabaret roots, and paying homage to the disco that took him over the top. It is also a few years before he would go on to define NRG music and then ultimately to be taken by AIDS. The vinyl version is currently the more complete document as the cd omits what was side four - the studio recordings ( Can't Stop Dancing and In My Fantasy). A deluxe reissue would be welcomed.
