Barry Live at the Greek Theatre LA 1978

This is a photo of a photo from the retrospective which comes with the DVD. Hope Barry doesn't mind.

I just received the DVD of Barry's concert Live from the Greek Theatre '78 and it was a pleasant surprise and way to spend a weekday evening. Barry has other DVDs I prefer - Blenheim Palace, On Broadway - but this one is great for historical purposes. His voice is so pure and he thankfully noodles so little. He and I are the same age and I was 35 at the time of this concert. His fans look like contemporaries. Now when you see the fans at a Barry concert, Barry hasn't aged but the audience is plump and very middle aged. The Copa number is a classic and is included on some other retrospective I have. Lady Flash knock themselves out for the whole show. Barry is such a great songwriter and song deliverer. Although he probably made him famous, I do wish he'd never met Clive Davis.
