Calling this concert by Three Dog Night and the Tennessee Symphony “a new moment in history,” as the announcer does, is an absurd bit of hype. But it doesn’t mean fans of the group won’t enjoy the 80-minute show, recorded in 2000 at Tennessee’s Renaissance Center (also on CD). Singers Danny Hutton and Cory Wells’s voices are still strong, if a bit shrill (third Dog and ex-drug addict Chuck Negron isn’t mentioned, let alone seen or heard); their backing band features several original members; and the orchestra adds some interesting arrangements and considerable color. Most of all, these guys had a lot of hits, and they’re all here, from “Mama Told Me Not to Come” to “One,” from “Eli’s Coming” to “Easy to Be Hard” and the inevitable “Joy to the World.” Creative direction and interviews with the principals help turn this into a pleasant walk down memory lane, at the very least. –Sam Graham
