Have you ever seen Shlomo Artzi perform live in concert? If so, you know that he is simply electrifying on stage. I’m sure you’d agree that the stage is Shlomo Artzi’s playground, and he is certainly in his element when in front of an audience.

If you’ve never seen Shlomo live, however, you’d just have to take my word for it. Until now.

This week, Shlomo Artzi released a album of THIRTY TWO SONGS, all recorded live in concert throughout Shlomo’s career spanning five decades. The album, Etmol Haya Tov (Yesterday Was Good), was released last week. Click on the badge below to hear the album on Apple Music.

“Etmol Haya Tov” – Track Listing

Here’s the full track list, with live performances spanning Shlomo Artzi’s 50 years in Israeli music. Most of the songs were originally performed at the Caesarea Amphitheater, Shlomo Artzi’s favorite stage. (When Shlomo performed at the Theatre at Madison Square Garden in 2017, he said, “Billy Joel said Madison Square Garden is the center of the universe. I say Caesarea is the center of the universe.”)
