Music Review: The Osmonds: 50th Anniversary Reunion Concert: Live in Las Vegas

 The Os monds: 50th Anniversary Reunion Concert: Live in Las Vegas, Jimmy Osmond Productions, 2008.

I cannot highly recommend this CD disc.  I found it at the local library in Bellevue.  It seems like all the songs are only done to give you a piece of the song and not the whole thing.  The covered the Donny and Marie songs with a medley of four and a half minutes.  This covered seven songs.  he entire CD is just a bit over 40 minutes.  This seems pretty slim for a concert.  Of course it is a Las Vegas concert so maybe they were doing multiple shows.

The Osmonds touch some of my favorite Osmond songs, "Crazy Horses", "Down By the Lazy River", "Puppy Love" and "Paper Roses."  I missed "He Ain't Heavy" which the Osmonds covered.  In addition to the Five Osmond Brothers this concert included Marie and Jimmy.  %0 years is quite a heritage of music.  I know Donny is still going strong in Las Vegas.  

Final Osmond Family Concert (2008)

This is an excellent concert which features some old Osmond songs, some spiritual songs and The Mormon tabernacle Choir.  Marie seems to have some costume and mic issues but other than that it goes off without a hitch.  The highlight is the last two numbers where the older Osmond Brothers join in with ASL while the rest of the family sings.  This is a 50 year tribute to the Osmonds in entertainment.
