Barry Manilow in Concert July 21, 2010
James R. Mckechnie (San Diego, CA USA)
Of all the music DVD's I've purchased, this is undoubtedly one of my favorites. The quality of the audio, video and his voice, are outstanding.

Manilow Still Has It! June 2, 2010
Wayne
After 30+ years in the music business, Manilow still sounds and looks better than ever on this BD. This concert was recorded in Nashville, TN in 2001. Manilow obviously spared no expense on this concert. It includes a 30 piece orchestra, along with the musicians who travel with him and they sound great in Dolby Digital 5.1!

Manilow's signature songs are all included on this BD including "I Write the Songs", "Mandy", "I Made it Through the Rain", plus he does a special tribute to Frank Sinatra with "That's Life", "Chicago", and a few others. One of my favorites on this BD is his opening number "Could This Be Magic". One might question whether this is a good opening number for a concert since the original version could be considered slow and sappy. Not so with this version. He starts it out with a bigger than life entrance with the chorus and then builds it up to an up-tempo version (kind of disco-like). It actually comes out sounding awesome with a great groove! The audience was obviously loving it!

If you have a blu-ray player, get the blu-ray version. It looks and sounds great! Otherwise, go with the DVD. Either way, you can't go wrong on this one!

Manilow Shines May 2, 2010
D. Walczak (Twin Cities, Minnesota)
Friends,

As an accomplished professional pianist, and one who owns the top 100 or so concert blu-rays that are for sale on Amazon's website, I can say, unequivocally, that if this DVD will not put you in a "happy place" there is utterly nothing that will. I run a top of the line home theater in my basement, and the sound and picture of this remarkable concert are second to none. Barry's many years of paying his dues in lesser paying gigs have brought him to this point - an utterly honed, ice-in-the-veins, polished performer. His vocal chops, piano technique, stories, engagement with the audience and his orchestra, deliver a second to none performance worthy of being on EVERY musician's DVD-shelf in addition to the non-musician music lover. The crisp visuals of Barry's expressions, the falsetto of the voice, the unbridled happiness and positivity of all of these tunes provide a performance that you will watch over, and over, and over - by yourself, with tears in your eyes, and with friends - with tears in all of our eyes. The Sinatra section is dazzling, with a particularly touching performance of "When October Goes" - Barry's music set to the incredible lyrics of Johnny Mercer. If that tune does not bring nostalgic tears to your eyes, I don't know what will. Hits like "Even Now" make one think back on every relationship that one has had in younger years - whether the relationship had painful points or not. The audience reveres in his wonderful story telling - from the buzzing electricity of Manhatten to his grandfather trying to coax a song out of him at a 25-cent recording-jukebox in Brooklyn, with Barry balking and crying about doing it. They actually play the recording of this nostalgia, with his Brooklyn-thick-accented grandfather trying to get Barry to sing "Happy Birthday" to his cousin when Barry is a wee-lad. You can see a picture of this event in his wonderful biography: "Sweet Life." "Can't Smile Without You" - one of his standards, is infinitely touching and heartfelt, with a sincere lady-fan (Michelle) from Arkansas, being the lucky one helping him, tearfully, through the duet. Mr. Manilow is the definition of showmanship - happy, positive, a million hits, and one who truly can engage his audience.

I like Manilow music, so I like this Blu-ray. This is not an one-time listening disc and enjoy watching is once in a while.
