Sobre el álbum
Grabado en Oakland en 1974, durante la gira de su aclamado "Let's Get It On", el álbum Live! captura a Marvin Gaye en su faceta de maestro de la seducción sobre el escenario. A diferencia de otros directos más enérgicos, este disco se caracteriza por una atmósfera íntima, relajada y profundamente sensual. Es el documento sonoro de su etapa más "cool" y sofisticada.
El repertorio se centra en sus éxitos de principios de los 70, incluyendo, por supuesto, una memorable interpretación de "Let's Get It On" y un popurrí de los temas de "What's Going On". De este modo, la banda que lo acompaña teje un colchón de funk suave y soul jazzístico, sobre el que la voz de Gaye fluye con una facilidad y una elegancia extraordinarias.
La interacción con el público es cálida y cercana, creando una sensación de complicidad. "Live!" es el complemento perfecto a los discos de estudio de esa época, un testimonio del carisma de Marvin Gaye como "showman" y de su habilidad para crear un ambiente de intimidad incluso en un gran recinto.

Letra
You know, when you're in love and your lover leaves you And you've got nobody, the lonely hours over here Sittin' home and thinkin', you say: Distant Lover, Lover Ooh, So many miles away ooh heaven knows that I long for you Every night, every night and sometimes I yearn through the day. Distant Lover! Oooh lover you should think about me say a prayer For me. Please Please baby think about me sometime, think about me yeah. Hey in Misery, Misery As I reminisce, ooh baby through our joyful summer together, the promises we made of the daily letter, then all of a sudden everything seemed to explode. Now I gaze out my window sugar down the lonesome road. Distant lover ooh ooh sugar, how can you treat my heart so mean and cruel, don't you know sugar that every moment that I spent with you I treasured it like it was a precious jewel. Oooh Baby Lord have mercy! Ooh baby don't go, please come back baby. Something I wanna say, when you left you took all of me with you now lord I wonder do you wanna hear me scream and plead. Please, please come back home girl, please baby come back home. Oh baby, don't go Please come back, baby Ooo, something I wanna say When you left to go away No 'ther do I want, do you wanna have me plead and scream Please! Please, oh please baby Come back home, girl Oh baby, come back Oh oh - Jan3:03
