Summary: OK, ..this is what happened...
Review: I bought Barry Manilow LP greatest hits in 1980. I then sold it. I then re-bought it a year later and now it holds its place in my record collection (you know the black round things) with my other stuff. I haven't played it for years, and I mean YEARS !!!! So I then bought Manilow Live on DVD,.....[....] Anyway I got my package, and along with a whole lot of other stuff, was .....Mr Manilow. I have never sung so loudly in all my life. I knew every word!!! EVERY WORD!!! To all the songs, well the main ones anyway. I loved it. Totally loved it!! And his voice matches mine perfectly or something like that. The neighbours admittedly look at me differently 'cause the walls aren't as thick as I thought, but I've played it everyday since I got it. Its true, you can ask my neighbours!! - loudly everyday!!! Its truly brilliant and very very enjoyable. Just wanted you to know. Cheers.

Summary: A must for romantics and sentimental people!
Review: I felt several tugs at my heartstrings listening to Barry's great songs. Brought back a lot of memories, reminiscing past relationships and how most of the songs were related to them. You will feel what true love songs really are as you absorb the lyrics and feelings Barry puts in every song. For all romantics and sentimental people like me, this is one good buy. I wouldn't mind playing it over and over again.

Summary: Almost like being there!
Review: I have been attending Barry Manilow concerts for his entire career. It's been an wonderful experience watching Barry evolve and mature over the years. I've always felt Barry is at his best with a full orchestra as he is in this performance. Turn the lights down in the room while you're watching this concert and you can almost feel like you're there. Barry's showmanship is superb in this concert. His rapport with the audience gets better and better over the years. His fans love when he calls someone from the audience onstage to sing a duet with him on "Can't Smile Without You". The fan he chose for this concert displayed so much exuberance! She was a good representation of what all of his longtime fans feel. My only disappointment was that he did not have his very talented backup singer Debra Byrd along for this one. However, Barry is at a point in his career that he no longer needs to share the stage with anyone. I am reviewing this DVD after just coming back from seeing him in person on his 2002 tour. As a die-hard Barry fan, it's difficult to compare the two concerts. They are very different. MANILOW LIVE is a hard DVD to top. Barry's talent, his love of music, and his deep respect for other musicians leaps from the stage and touches your soul. Enjoy!

Summary: Always Top Drawer
Review: I have this tape and it is something for everyone.Even if your not a Manilow fan--after seeing this you will be too. Of course he always puts his heart and soul into all his music and concerts. The orchestra playing my song--I MADE IT THROUGH THE RAIN, left me in tears and shivers and an undescribable feeling of pure heaven. I could never pick just one song that I loved more than another. But I MADE IT THROUGH THE RAIN--is my song--so what can I say. He is an excellent performer. He dresses to show respect to his audiences,not like some of todays entertainers. But Barry knows how to please, tease and entertain to the max. The newest one so far--I recommend this to all MANILOW fans everywhere. As Auntie Mame might have said--BARRY, YOUR STRICTLY TOP DRAWER.

Summary: Sensational Barry
Review: I just received the DVD today (ahead of schedule) and was compelled to write. I have always enjoyed Barry since he began in the 70s, and amazingly in this 2000 concert he sounds as if he hasn't lost one bit of his marvelous touch and range. He has evolved over the years into a master showman, and in many ways he is better than he was years ago. He truly loves what he does, and he displays the love in his smile, and mannerisms and with his interactions with his fans in the audience. You feel privileged to be a part of it. Just try and hold back the tears when you enjoy his classic duet "I Can't Smile Without You" with Michelle, the audience member he selects. Her heartfelt love and admiration for him, and his ability to capture the moment will have you envy the experience she'll treasure forever. Not surprisingly, the picture quality and audio are incredible! Wow, a real treasure that I'll be listening to and watching for years to come. Thanks Amazon for suggesting the DVD.

Summary: New to Manilow and I loved it
Review: I just watched this DVD and I must say I was impressed. I actually bought this for my mother to watch when she visits me in a few weeks and thought I'd pop it in and see how the concert was. Incredible. I'm a huge Sinatra fan so I'm not the best person to usually ask who is the best anything when it comes to music, but if there is a better concert DVD out there let me know, I will buy it tomorrow! I have the luxury of watching this on a 56 inch HDTV with a 16x9 screen and Dolby Digital surround sound and it was beautiful. It is a shame this DVD is only in the Dolby 4.0 format but once Barry starts singing it's a non-issue. I do not own any of Barry's music but I will be buying some soon. "Weekend in New England" was so incredible I had to watch it 3 times alone. The accordion part I could have done without personally but the kazoo part I actually liked. Go figure. Go buy a DVD player if you do not have one yet and GO BUY MANILOW LIVE!
