I don't think there could be an ounce of doubt that these four were THE BEST vocal group EVER. Nothing they couldn't do & do a spectacular job with! Best "Route 66" ever, bar none... Saw them live about 15 yrs ago, Bethlehem PA, Musikfest, In Lehigh University's Zoellner Arts Center. Fantastic venue for the show. That was about 18 yrs after this performance & believe me, they were still just as fabulous! Too bad they lost Tim as early as they did. End of an era, but this was true greatness...

I first heard about MT when working at Disneyland in the 1980s. I discovered them on a stage in Tomorrowland, but almost lost my job because I watched the entire show and did not return to work for an hour. It was a great learning experience for me early in my career. Seen them about 20 times over the last 35 years, but paid for seats at each show.

I just watched the whole thing and realize my face was hurting from having a grin for the entire time. I first saw them on their 1975 TV special and was so blown away at the time even though I was a kid in the rock era. I guess that was before Cheryl joined the group. I've come to love them more and more as the years go by. So sad that we lost Timmy. Would love to see them live again though. There are the most amazing vocal group ever and I will always love them.

I purchased their Anthology CD when it came out and played it constantly. Never realized my preteen daughter at the time had been listening to the CD as well. Wife told me how our daughter at age eleven knew the words to every song on that CD. She is still a big fan just like me.

They have grown in my awareness and appreciation, over thirty years, to a higher level, for the skill, work, artistry, genuine fun in a confidence they have of their quality , art, entertaining shine. Marvelous, and they always look, feel, sound.., are GOOD. Nobody much around seems aware of the high quality, hard work, the effort, imagination, dream, style, polish, seemingly effortless presentation here...

I don't know if I can convey this right. The MT's diction is totally phenomenal in that they are all able to sing the words so fast and never miss a beat. Most artist would be so tongue-tied it would be hilarious. Not these cats. My jaw drops every time I hear them do that. They are true professionals.

This is going to be a wonderful new experience for me and my better half, thanks for the opportuity to finally see and listen to this wonderful everlasting group!!

These guys are absolutely amazing! I've heard one of their albums produced prior to this performance, loved it, and was blown away by their musicality and accuracy in time, balance and pitch with those complex jazz harmonies but I am even more amazed that they're able to carry that same level of musicality and accuracy to a live performance. Most folks have no idea how impossibly difficult this is but they make it look and sound effortless. They're live performance pitch accuracy seems better than Take 6 here. But Take 6 is a capella with six male voices, so that's harder and may not be a fair comparison. They're both amazing groups that I absolutely love.

Credit to their arranger. The music supports the vocals brilliantly and there's a lot of interplay, e.g., 07:24 when the piano underlines the 'ramblin' lyric.

Concord, is holding onto a five CD Manhattan Transfer box set that includes some unreleased tracks from the vaults. Please consider letting Concord know how much we would love for this to be released. Surely before Chrsitmas would have been and still could be the ultimate time for the release of this retrospective set. I fear if we do not let our collective voices be heard this set may not see the light of day and that would be criminal. Cheers and thanks from a fan but someone who has no connection with MT or any of their affiliates.
