Happy to be taking up residence in the same Hilton theatre where Frank Sinatra, Jerry Lewis, and Elvis Presley all played, Manilow spreads his joy with a wildly enthusiastic audience. Beginning with his opening number, \"It's a Miracle,\" Manilow spends most of the evening on his feet and close to the crowd, seldom sitting behind his piano except to wrap fans in the comfort of dreamy, hook-filled ballads. His take on the pretty \"Daybreak\" highlights the song's lushness and positive outlook, while \"Somewhere Down the Road\" comes across as a mature plaint about love and loss. A mini-tribute to hit songs of the 1950s proves hugely entertaining, starting with the American Bandstand theme (indeed, there are lyrics), featuring Manilow's backup singers as typically star-struck teens. The '50s suite includes Manilow's version of pop standards \"Venus,\" \"Love Is a Many Splendored Thing,\" and \"Unchained Melody,\" all of which evoke a warm nostalgia. Going autobiographical, Manilow sings several songs (\"Do You Know Who's Living Next Door?\") from his Here at the Mayflower album, reflections on a unique childhood in a Brooklyn apartment building. Manilow pays homage to Elvis in a stirring reading of the King's \"If I Can Dream,\" reminisces about bygone days of being an opening act for the likes of Helen Reddy, and brings the show to a close with a tuneful \"I Write the Songs\" and high-octane \"Copacabana.\" A second disc contains a number of special features, including Manilow explaining his reasons for giving up the road to play exclusively at the Hilton. A \"making-of\" featurette about the PBS program is followed by three songs that didn't make it into the concert disc, plus a music video for \"Unchained Melody\" and photo gallery. --Tom Keogh\n\nProduct Description\n\nTrack Listing: Disc 1 - Opening, It’s A Miracle, Opening Medley:, -Daybreak -Somewhere In The Night -This One’s For You, Mandy \/ Could It Be Magic?, I Made It Through The Rain, Here’s To Las Vegas (Intro), See The Show Again, Can’t Smile Without You, Fifties Medley: -Bandstand Boogie -Venus -Love Is A Many Splendored Thing -Unchained Melody, Mayflower Medley: -Brooklyn Blues -Do You Know Who’s Livin’ Next Door? -Come Monday -They Dance! --Boogie Wonderland --Hot Stuff --Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m Yours, Brooklyn Blues (Reprise), Weekend In New England, If I Can Dream, Somewhere Down The Road, Here’s To Las Vegas, I Write The Songs, Copacabana (At The Copa), It’s A Miracle (Reprise), One Voice (Encore), DISC 2 Inside MANILOW: MUSIC AND PASSION, Making the PBS Special, Tryin’ To Get The Feeling Again, Even Now - Performed december 17, 2005, Unchained Melody music video, Photo gallery\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000EGDN3G\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000EGDN3G.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eBinding: DVD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
