Neil Sedaka in Concert - (1980) (TV)

From the days of the legendary SelecTV comes what must have been a very special in-home presentation. The year is a guess but it's got to be close, the star is simply odd or more accurately the star's wardrobe. With the man-cut jumpsuit in electric blue hiding who knows what, he leaps to the stage and the packed house goes crazy. Tons of good clean fun, like watching your dad sing.

Joan Baez in Concert (1990) (TV)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Joan Baez is an American folk singer, songwriter, musician and a prominent activist in the fields of human rights, peace and environmental justice.


Baez has a distinctive vocal style, with a strong vibrato. Her recordings include many topical songs and material dealing with social issues.

Baez began her career performing in coffeehouses in Boston and Cambridge, and rose to fame as an unbilled performer at the 1959 Newport Folk Festival. She began her recording career in 1960, and achieved immediate success. Her first three albums, Joan Baez, Joan Baez, Vol. 2, and Joan Baez in Concert all achieved gold record status, and stayed on the charts for two years.

Baez has had a popular hit song with "Diamonds & Rust" and hit covers of Phil Ochs's "There but for Fortune" and The Band's "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". Other songs associated with Baez include "Farewell, Angelina", "Love Is Just a Four-Letter Word", "Joe Hill", "Sweet Sir Galahad" and "We Shall Overcome". She performed three of the songs at the 1969 Woodstock Festival, helped to bring the songs of Bob Dylan to national prominence, and has displayed a lifelong commitment to political and social activism in the fields of nonviolence, civil rights, human rights and the environment.

Neil Diamond: Special Moments In Concert from Ireland (2003) (TV)


Neil Diamond is one of the most successful and prolific singer/songwriters of all time. His songs (whether recorded by him or other artists) have become an essential part of the American pop music songbook. Nearly four decades after entering the music business, he remains unchallenged as one of the rock era's greatest live solo performers. He is a true original.

Now Neil Diamond is coming to PBS. Taped in Dublin in July 2002, NEIL DIAMOND: SPECIAL MOMENTS IN CONCERT FROM IRELAND is a rousing one-hour music special featuring concert highlights from one of Diamond's sold-out shows. The television special features performances of some of his most beloved hits, including "Sweet Caroline," "America," "September Morn," and "Cracklin' Rosie." From the opening strains of "America," Diamond is greeted by a wildly cheering Irish audience, including Ireland's Prime Minister at the time, Bertie Ahern.

Spring Break Reunion (1987) (TV)

This is corny but still precious at times. The duets by the two hosts are just dreadful but the supporting acts (all playing live) are wonderful; The Regents, Bobby Vee, Fabian, Jan & Dean, The Crystals, Del Shannon, The Drifters, Little Anthony, Lou Christie, Peter Noone, The Association, The Kingston Trio, The Mamas and the Papas, John Sebastian and Felix Cavaliere. A great piece of musical history.

Cher... at the Mirage (1990) (TV)

The mighty Cher, circa 1990, some might say at her prime. Great show with a groovy opening segment that follows her private jet (the logo can be seen on the tail) as it flies into town. The footage is from a chase plane and it lasts for about a minute. Good Stuff.
