The best of all Manilow concert DVD
I have many, if not all of Barry's concert DVD and I think this concert is the best for these reasons:
1) He pulled out all the stops to achieve in his bank account, and put an orchestra to accompany him. The sound is much better than usual mechanical musicians who accompany him. Barry was obvious that this is a special night, would put in time on time, and I'm glad that he did not;
2) This was theIndividual concerts. In many concerts, the musicians play a song after a brief chat with some. Sometimes it's a bit 'predictable and tend to hide. But Barry has some background and some personal touches that will make sense of his life and career, and that experience has more depth.
For example, has an old 75 rpm records, when his grandfather tried to encourage him to sing "Happy Birthday" to his young cousin of one ofThe best recording booths in New York, when about 9 years. E 'was really nice, like the shy then Barry refused to sing. It seems Barry broke the love for music, and "This One's For You" was heartwarmingly dedicated to his grandfather;
3) the song list has been full and personal Manilow fans of hard core. There are everthing here: his greatest hits, as well as some of Broadway show songs, some Sinatra, some Latin Rhythmn (Copacabana). I do not know exactlyhow this type of songs, but Barry has his own unique style that makes it enjoyable for me. I'm sure this is one of the reasons why he was known as the greatest show in music.
I should have been agreed. His love of Broadway musicals, of course, has influenced his music writing, and you can feel the structure of his songs on the final resolution, as you would see the creation of a game for a resolution of the third act. Until the end, it also proposesLoans and jumps to his feet with a thunderous applause from the third act climax.
On another occasion we found, Barry's love for the strange musical instruments. Has some funny piece with an accordion and another strange sound of the instrument. E 'was good for some comic, while bopping along with some silly, but catchy melodies.
What I appreciated his including his lesser known but more personal songs like the gorgeous "When October Goes" and "I Am Your Child".This type of songs are included in the rule is no longer in his concerts for commercial recreational players and fans are happy that they are included here. His music is as it is for lovers, not fighters unique, and I'm glad he gave us a bit 'happier this time around us. It was not always the case.
In late 1970, when I was in high school, Barry, and then the "Sensitive Male", represented by men like Alan Alda and Phil Donahue was. Around the end of 1980, ourThe company began to change and focus more on "Gordon Gekko" type of person, who caused a major setback for the sensitivity. Alan Alda, finally started shameful role. Can not find Donahue, another concert anywhere, while Jerry Springer flourished. And the Chicago White Sox hosted an evening where they burned Manilow albums in their stadium during a game. It 'was like a book burning of Hitler.
Manilow has admitted that he went into hiding and then do the treatment in this periodwith all the negativity. Who can blame him - first that loved him and hated. People who have an aversion to fantasy Manilow feel this way because they are unsure of their masculinity. It makes them feel more like men to say: "I am a fighter, not a lover," as if their heroes bite the heads of bats on stage. This is definitely cause for all its successes, the only one who was a Grammy-winning "Copacabana" - a song that would not come near the dangerous waters of intimacy.
Ialways stuck with Manilow and his music in all these lean years, and I'm glad he did justice to his loyal fans on the other side of being. Yes, Barry, was not theirs. Manilow is probably the only artist out there, we can be a night of class, elegance and romance of the heart, if we seriously need it. And Barry - if they are ever in San Francisco, drop me a line so Ted can say head, thanked him with a great 5-speed, 5 - star dinner!
