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 separate ballrooms and broadcast the show from the showroom to those ballrooms.
The sound is terrific. The band sounds great. However, there seems to have been no mic’s placed in the showroom, so you never hear the audience!
It’s really weird to watch a really powerful song happen and then – SILENCE!
I remember that they did applaud, but you can’t hear the audience at all.
Except for that strange element, the show itself is really entertaining.
Lots of music and lots of laughs. At least I THINK they were laughing!
I bet you’ll have fun going down memory lane with this one.
Love,
Barry

I learned that making a film is all about the lighting....
