Customer Reviews:

You will not waste your time listening to 'Sitting on the dock of the bay, wasting time'.......2006-05-22

There are certain artists who do one or two works which really hit home, and remain in mind and heart. I am not an aficionado of Richie Havens, do not know all his work, or even the greater part of it. But there are a couple of songs of his which live in my memory. One is the incredible 'San Francisco Bay Blues' Gravelly voice and filled with a kind of lonesome pain he sings"

"Sitting in the dock of the bay,
watching the ships roll away,
Sitting in the dock of the bay
wasting time.

Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Ain't got nothing to live for
Look like nothing going to come my way

Sitting in the dock of the bay
wasting time."

Limited But Significant Set.......2001-10-14

Three '60s Havens albums were culled from and considering his prolific output, a "Best Of..." collection deserves more. But the two Jerry Merrick ballad compositions "Follow" and "From The Prison" are stunningly beautiful efforts and in themselves transcend any thematic questions. Minimalist and deeply introspective, they represent the best of the *era*. "No Experience Necessary, No Opportunity Needed" is a great uptempo work, a standout track from a standout album - "Something Else Again". In place of the last two entries, "Lady Madonna" and "Strawberry Fields Forever", I would have selected "Minstel From Gault" and "There's A Hole In The Future" from the excellent "Stonehenge" l.p.

Much is missing.......2001-05-23

The Great Bedford-Stuy born Richie Havens is sorely under represented here, but what is presented is done well. Unfortunately, there are no entries from one of his best - "Electric Havens". I am sure I am not alone among his fans in offering to give up a tooth or two to hear a prime cut of "Spanish Boots of Spanish Leather" - far too long out of print... Somebody hear me - Richie's fans are loyal, and fortunately in the age group that can afford this Absolutely All-American Icon of the streets, the sixties and the sound

nice collection from a great artist.......2000-03-29

these songs sound wonderful...wish there were more. I've seen Richie Havens in concert over 20 times...he never mellows, and always gives 100%. How about some more music from this great artist?

where is the REAL box set?.......2000-03-17

Richie is one of the greatest artists of all time...now can we please see a real super-duper deluxe box set come out? He deserves it! Great disc, but there are too few songs on this to call it "The Millenium Collection"...GIVE US MORE! LOVE YOU RICHIE!
