This is a terrific set list focusing on two of his best and best known albums from the early seventies, What’s Going On and Let’s Get It On.

It loses a mark because it’s too short at only 43 minutes and it’s missing what most people think is the must-hear Marvin Gaye song, I Heard It Through The Grapevine.

It would be nice to think that extra tracks could be added at some stage but I doubt it after all these years.

Here is a video of Marvin Gaye singing Let’s Get It On live in concert in 1976.

And What’s Goin’ On / Save The Children also from 1976.
