  • 1985 Summer Rehearsal Act 2

    Hi Everyone,

    Last month we played Act I of the rehearsal for the 1985 Summer Tour.

    This month we give you Act 2.
    Our audience is still our family and friends. And the set list of Act 2 is still very interesting.

    We did songs from the “Copacabana” movie, from the

    “Paradise Café” album, and fr...

  • 1980 World Tour - Atlantic City, NJ - July 2,1980

    This month’s Manilow TV is an oldie but a goodie (just like me!).

    It’s a really decent quality video of our first time in Atlantic City at the Resorts International.

    We had sold out the show within hours and the demand for tickets was so great that they had to place TV monitors in three sep...

  • Big Fun On Swing Street TV Special

    Hi Everyone,

    This month’s Manilow TV is my favorite of all the network specials that we did.

    It’s called “Big Fun on Swing Street” and it’s very hard to find. It aired on CBS on March 7, 1988, a couple months after we released the “Swing Street” album.

  • 1980 World Tour - Toronto, ON - Maple Leaf Gardens - November 20, 1980

    Hi Everyone,

    This month’s MTV is very emotional. During the show, I thank all the folks in the Toronto audience (first time in Toronto, by the way) and say, “You’re one of the warmest audiences I’ve ever played for. It’s been five years since “Mandy”, so thank you.”

    Five years since “Mandy”??? ...
