Live at the London Palladium
''Live at the London Palladium'' is a live double album by soul musician Marvin Gaye, released March 15, 1977, on Tamla Records.〔(allmusic - Live at the London Palladium overview )〕 Recording sessions took place live at several concerts at the London Palladium in London, England, in October 1976, with the exception of the hit single "Got to Give It Up", which was recorded at Gaye's Los Angeles studio Marvin's Room on January 31, 1977.〔〔(Discogs.com - Live at the London Palladium (73 IT LP) )〕 ''Live at the London Palladium'' features intimate performances by Gaye of many of his career highlights, including early hits for Motown and recent material from his previous three studio albums.〔 As with his previous live album, ''Marvin Gaye Live!'', production of the record was handled entirely by Gaye, except for the studio portion, "Got to Give It Up", which was managed by Art Stewart.〔(Discogs.com - Marvin Gaye - Live At The London Palladium (73 GM LP) )〕
''Live at the London Palladium'' received a surprising and significant amount of critical recognition for a live album following its initial release. Critical reviews of the album were positive compared to the mild receptiveness Gaye's previous studio album ''I Want You'' received. As Gaye's most successful live release, the album also became one of his most commercially successful albums during his tenure at Motown's Tamla label, as well as a Billboard chart hit. Following digital remastering, ''Live at the London Palladium'' was reissued on August 24, 1999, by Motown on compact disc.〔(Tower.com - Live at the London Palladium (CD) )〕
==Background==
In October 1976, during a very dizzying, topsy-turvy and bizarre period in his life, Marvin Gaye had begun recuperating from personal issues.〔Weinger (1999), pp. 2-5.〕 He had recently gone through a divorce with his first wife, and sister of Motown-CEO Berry Gordy, Anna Gordy, and married his second wife, Janis Hunter. Hunter had previously inspired many of Gaye's romantic-themed albums including 1973's ''Let's Get It On'' and his previous album, the erotic ''I Want You''. Gaye was also going through drug addiction to help cope with stage fright. By 1976, Gaye, while still a popular artist in America - his "I Want You" single hit the American top twenty - he was slowly starting a steep climb down as disco began to dominate popular music, but while American fans were moving on to other sounds, the British audience was still very appreciative of Gaye's fame and music, as Gaye would take advantage of this and perform a series of shows in Britain.〔
''Live at the London Palladium'' was recorded during several live shows performed by Gaye in England's capital city, London. The performances were on rave reviews by the British press in London, the first of which took place on October 3, 1976, and continued throughout the rest of that month.〔
