Warner Music Entertainment is pleased to announce the first time UK DVD
release of
'Barry Manilow: In Concert
- the Legendary 1978 Concert at the
Greek Theatre'
on September 14th.
 In 1978 Manilow was performing in the
biggest outdoor amphitheatres in America on his marathon 'In Concert' tour,
including a two week residency at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, playing
to over 72,000 fans.
New on the scene and anxious to compete with the major television networks,
HBO produced its first two-hour musical special, "Manilow: Live at the Greek
Theatre." The powerhouse performance garnered a huge viewing audience and
now, over thirty years later, Manilow's HBO special makes its long-awaited
DVD debut. The digitally restored and re-mastered DVD is released to follow
Manilow's performance at the BBC Proms in the Park in Hyde Park on Saturday
12th September.
People were literally sitting in the trees," Manilow recalls of the event, "Words simply cannot describe the energy and incredible magic in the air
that night."
The concert was recorded near the end of Manilow's 'In Concert' tour for Even Now, his fourth multi-platinum album in a row. On the charts for a year, the album included the hits "Can't Smile Without You" and the title track, both of which Manilow performed at the Greek Theatre. For "Copacabana (At The Copa)," the stage was transformed into a period set by the show's magnificent art director Ed Flesh. Shortly after the special was aired, Manilow received a Grammy® for that song.
Much of the Greek Theatre concert is drawn from songs that first appeared on Manilow's back-to-back, triple-platinum albums-Trying To Get That Feeling (1975) and This One's For You (1976). Manilow revisits those albums, delivering memorable performances of "Weekend In New England" and "Looks Like We Made It," plus his #1 pop smash, "I Write The Songs." Barry Manilow: In Concert - The Legendary 1978 Concert at the Greek Theatre also features Manilow's emotional performance of "Mandy," the artist's first #1 single.
