Hi Everyone,
Come with me back, back, way back in time this month.
We go back to 1984!
I was really surprised to find that we even HAD a video of this show. But my wonderful assistant Marc was crunched down in the 10th row taping the show with a cheap home camera! And it’s a fine recording too! Thanks once again, Marc.
This was the third night of a sold out 10 show run at Radio City Music Hall. We broke all the records for that venue. Wow.
It’s a really amazing show because, believe it or not, it’s not a Greatest Hits show.
Most of the songs were album cuts or songs that had yet to be released.
I was shocked and delighted to hear “Love Me Just A Little Bit”, “No Other Love” and “When October Goes”.
Most of all, I was thrilled to tears to hear the great response from the audience during these songs they’d never heard before. My audiences sure have changed!
“2:00AM-Paradise Café” was scheduled to be released two weeks later. And yet, there’s a gorgeous Paradise Café section in Act II.
IMHO (as they say on-line), the closing song of Act I, “Some Sweet Day” is worth the price of admission.
Hope you enjoy this one.
Love,
Barry

I loved this tour. I loved the people that were a part of it. I loved the inventive stage setup. I loved the songs I sang from the RCA “Manilow” album.
It was such fun singing “At The Dance” every night and so gr...
