Thanks for posting this great footage. I was there way back when. One of the best concerts I have ever seen. Diana gave me chills then, and watching again now !!!!!!
Remember this day a severe summer storm with 50m.p.h. winds & heavy rain hits during show, Diana does not stop, the show must go on now thats entertainment!!!
WoW! I'll bet no one would show up to see Big mary wilson in central park,with that foghorn leghorn voice and those terrible matted cheap wigs and Horrible clothes.
Only Diana Ross can pack em like this Star Power!!! Diana Ross true DIVA!!
@sammy7819 Are you the child that Mary gave away rather than abort you are so bitter and stupid with all this hatred etc. Do you want to be her? Are you a crossdresser and or had a batched surgery when you attempted to become a woman? Such a loser and an angry one on top of that so damn sad and pitiful.
@jksn008 _ No Bitch are you mary's cross dressing daughter?
I'm sure the old Bitch has had many abortions, knowing her track record for fucking everything sight. Why would i want to be a washed up background hand clapping old whore
@sammy7819 summie you are boring and not worth anymore effort and you are a joke with the fact that MARY will never be affected by your ignorance and or hatred. You are truly the bitch you started talking all this shit about mary and certainly cant take it.
My mum always spoke about watching this. cant beleive i found it! Ms Ross is the female BOSS when you have a concert in the rain and people stay. thats how you know youve made it. Shes amazing & the music is magical
some where in my heart some where in my mind there is a place intime some body tell me why do people cry when we see people sleeping in the street and os many cant even stand on there own two feet so wont you help me say there has to be a better way dont sit back and wait for jugement day because the judgment could to today looking for a smiling face wether its you or its me how its got to be a ribbon in the sky when you see the children cry laugh and play dewon micheal stevens
Saw her in San Diego years ago. She was in full garb and looked stunning! It was hard to believe that her voice hadn't changed since Motown days. She started to sing one particular song and the drummer was off on the back beat so she stopped right in the midst of singing and yelled- "Stop, stop...now start again with the right tempo!" Talk about a glorious diva!! She wanted to get it perfect- and she DID!! Saw her on Oprah with her kids this year and she's still amazing! A LIVING LEGEND!!
@ skw313 yeah she has always had that magical affect. Shes been around since before i was even born and every since i can remember shes been a "GINUINE WONDERWOMAN"... The "ULTIMATE SUPREME DIVA" without a doupt, shes definately "REGAL"... I wanted so badly that day to be apart of history, i almost cried to be there... But the show being televised helped so much eyewitnessing her magical essence... "THE FIRSTLADY OF ENTERTAINMENT"!!!!
for all those that weren't around then this was during the day time, the skies were that dark from the storm. It went from day light to darkness in a matter of minutes.
This was perhaps the most amazing concert I have ever see in my life. Talk about a professional entertainer, on top of her game. The way she hung in there on day one to keep the crowd from going crazy ... was truly a sight to behold. You go Diana!!
SHE WAS AWESOME ON OPRAH!! OPRAH REUNITED HER WITH LONG TIME FRIEND BILLY DEE WILLIAMS AFTER 35 YRS. HOW AWESOME WAS THAT!! I LOVE YOU DIANA FOREVER!!
@km816 yeah me neither . . . I wasn't born until 5 years and 10 months later. Looked like fun but idk if even I would've stayed in that weather, especially with lightning.
Oh my God! Has it really been 28 years? I was there... and this was the most amazing part of the concert and one of the most memorable moments in my life. It just sends chills up my spine. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for posting this!
This one of the most memorable moments in my teen life, July 21, 1983.
We didn't have Showtime when it aired but was lucky watch clips of the concert on CNN regarding the controversy during the event. Seeing this particular clip bring good a good feeling in my heart. The images of Diana looking like a goddess in the rain with the wind for added effect.
Fabulous . . . why oh why oh why haven't the Powers-that-Be put this on a DVD? Thanks for this wonderful share . .. I remember this as if it was yesterday!!
I have the same concert on VHS from HBO, it funny how it messes up due to the rain. it was a good concert, i was looking out my window in new jersey in the direction of new yor, and there was this large rain cloud over new york it was weird.
NOW That is What is GREAT is, going on with the Show!!! ♥ Diana!!♥
