Yup. This is the tour which began in (approximately) August of 1981 and ended in (approx) February of 1982. They stopped at the Metro Centre, in Rockford, Illinois, on Friday night, October 9, 1981, and I was on the floor, in the 10th row. The show was in the round ... lol I was in 5th great. I'll never forget it!
I"m in shock that my older brother, we shall call him TERRY, loves this man and he's married. He worships Barry like no one could ! IT's so beyond but I do the same for PHIL COLLINS, so i guess i get it but omg , it BARRY? my brother needs help. poor thing. He's now 50 years old and worships BARRY. OMG
it would be a crime to say I dislke BARRY MANILOW. He is a genuis and wonderful man ! HUGS TO HIM. COME HUG ME MR ! He made 70's music so wonderful. OMG he must have had a facelift, he looks so damn young. IT's 2011 and he looks wonderful. JEEPERS !
Also my information about changes in chords from this tune comes from my brother who is a music major. I know he has the album this is from in his collection and I think I remember him telling me one time this tune is very much like a classical music selection, as well.
I also hope you don't mind, Slappersinc, that I recommended that MGoddard84 ask you if a vid. clip of this performance of probably Barry's best #1 (in my opinion, the change of chords and different styles presented in this tune just make it to me a lot better than most of the drivel that passed for best in pop back in the mid-1970's; although you can make a little fun out of the title) to be included in their 1976 Chart Sweep of #1's?
This vid must be from no later than the early 1980's, since Barry still had his long locks. I know from the music videos that he made in '83 he had already had them cut back & as the 1980's progressed he lost some of his hair naturally. Can you tell us Slappersinc was date for this performance of "I Write The Songs" & also the place (it's obviously the U.S., but specifics)? (The dress of the audience also gives us a clue about date).
Barry for god sake keep that towel on to soak up all that cold sweat or you'll end up with Pneumonia that will have you cancelling the rest of your European tour in a few weeks.
He is so gracious with his audience- they ARE like family. Cool to watch. This is a keeper. Way to go. On a roll. Boy that smile must've melted a few hearts.

@sneezyize (According to Billboard Magazine), since as of now MGoddard doesn't have a vid. clip of Barry Manilow's "I Write The Songs".
