Sobre el álbum
Lanzado de manera póstuma en 2001, el álbum On Tour es una fascinante colección de grabaciones en directo que funciona como un mosaico de la evolución de Marvin Gaye como artista de escenario. A diferencia de un álbum grabado en un único concierto, este trabajo recopila actuaciones de diferentes épocas. Permite al oyente ser testigo de su increíble transformación a lo largo de los años.
El disco nos transporta desde la energía explosiva de sus primeros años en la Motown hasta la sofisticación y el control total de su etapa como maestro del soul en los años 70. Por ejemplo, podemos escuchar cómo una misma canción era interpretada con matices muy diferentes dependiendo del momento de su carrera, lo que demuestra su constante inquietud artística.
"On Tour" es un valioso documento sonoro que, aunque carece de la cohesión de un concierto único, ofrece a cambio una perspectiva panorámica y muy enriquecedora. Es, en esencia, un viaje en el tiempo que celebra la magia imperecedera de Marvin Gaye en su hábitat natural: el escenario.

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.
