Paradise Tour - Radio City Music Hall - November 1, 1984
All Access Subscription • 2h 13m
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

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”??? ...
