I’d rather listen to a bootleg show of the Temps, and Eddie in weak voice than any new artist in 2021. Thanks for posting.

This is a true song it is for today

[@anthonynero1078]

It's a live recording and despite Eddie's voice being shot-out, the quality sounds good to me.

They still sound better then all these newer lineups!

when you don't take care of your self your voice will not last

This sounds very off

[@floydpowers6460]

Mm

[@Chet_Brinkley]

You got that right !

[@DanielSchmidt94521]

This is probably not the Temptations but David and Eddie and Dennis on their own. Eddie still sounds ok but Dennis sounds great. Ok. Just heard Richard Street. Is this a Reunion Tour? This has to be the Reunion Tour. I’d love to hear the entire thing.

[@skipb.9205]

I don't know who owns the band's name. The notes say it is the Reunion tour. Line-up: Dennis Edwards Melvin Franklin Eddie Kendricks Glenn Carl Leonard David Ruffin Richard Street Otis Williams

[@DanielSchmidt94521]

@@skipb.9205 The Reunion Tour was the official Temptation line up. However after. David, Dennis and Eddie started their own group until Eddie and David died.

[@DanielSchmidt94521]

@@skipb.9205 I listened to the Reunion album and I believe it was produced by Rick James. I was disappointed in the album as they had Dennis mostly on lead every song with the exception of one song for David.

[@skipb.9205]

@@DanielSchmidt94521 Aha. I understand now.

[@johnanderson7711]

@@DanielSchmidt94521 It was a good idea to do the album, but maybe they should have really put an effort in it. With Whitfield, Smokey and James and more carefully constructed the recordings More Ruffin and Kendricks on lead. Not let Dennis just take all the leads thus giving the albumn a more of the classic era Temptations appeal.

[@qrapye]

The quality is horrible

[@skipb.9205]

The fidelity of the recording or the performance?

[@skepchica]

@@skipb.9205 Nothing more annoying than someone critiquing 30 year old audio. 🙄 It's a gem. Thank you for posting. 🙏
