This month’s MTV is a very different video.
Back in 1978, we were booked in London, England for the first time. The venue was the London Palladium and it was the beginning of a relationship with the British people that was surprising and glorious and has lasted to this day.
In 1990 we played the legendary Palladium again and it was a fantastic experience for me, the band, the crew and the audiences.
My wonderful assistant, Marc had just gotten a video recorder and I asked him to record the show and also try and show me what it’s like in the theater while the show is going on.
This is that tape.
We’ve edited Marc’s roaming around the Palladium during the show, and we’ve left in a few wonderful moments.
The “Live On Broadway” was one of my favorite shows we’ve ever done.
We toured for years with it and by the time we got to England it was filled with two hours of music and fun.
Hope you can get a sense of the excitement and love that happens when we play in England.
Enjoy!
Love,
Barry

Marc has been suggesting that I look at this performance for months now. When I finally looked at it, I was knocked out.
This episode was taped in Australia during the Greatest Hits And Then Some tour in 1994 and it’s a killer!

Hi Everyone,
Sorry we’re a little late this month. Something’s happening at Carnegie Hall tonight and it’s keeping me real busy!
This month’s concert is one of my favorite shows.
It’s from the “Greatest Hit’s Tour" in 1995.
We recorded the “Singin’ With The Big Band” album in 1994 and the “Gr...
