Captured Live At The Forum (CD)

Though they were disdained by hipsters for being "too commercial," Three Dog Night were massively successful. Between 1969 and '75, they had 21 Top 40 singles and 10 platinum albums. The format of the group was unusual for a rock band, as it featured three lead singers (Chuck Negron, Danny Hutton, Cory Wells) mostly interpreting material by other writers. The band had hits with tunes by Randy Newman, Laura Nyro, and Hoyt Axton, among others.

Three Dog Night: Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron, Cory Wells (vocals); Mike Allsup (guitar); Jimmy Greenspoon (keyboards); Joe Schermie (bass); Floyd Sneed (drums).

Recorded at The Forum, Los Angeles, California in 1969.

Originally released in 1969, CAPTURED LIVE AT THE FORUM is from the early stages of Three Dog Night's career. While it's unusual to release a live album so soon after a group's debut, it was a wise decision. As good as Three Dog Night's singles were--and they were some of the finest AM radio staples of the era--they only hint at how powerful the group were live.

While leader Danny Hutton was a protege of Brian Wilson, lead singer Chuck Negron came from an R&B tradition, and that collision of pristine pop and gutbucket soul was the tension which drove the group. On CAPTURED LIVE AT THE FORUM, Negron is clearly in charge, with a rocking cover of the Band's "Chest Fever," and a version of the chestnut "Try a Little Tenderness" styled after Otis Redding's definitive reading, nearly outshining the often-excellent renditions of Three Dog Night hits like Harry Nilsson's "One" and Laura Nyro's "Eli's Coming."
