Diana Ross - Pieces Of Ice (Central Park live! 22/07/83)

From an old MONO (yea, sorry for the bad audio quality...) video tape, recorded on a VHS VCR named SHARP VC 308GB on 21/04/1984 (from 11.25 pm- 12.55 am), this is "Pieces Of Ice" by Diana Ross from her Central Park Live Concert. Bad weather conditions forced Diana Ross to stop the concert on 21/07/83 and to start again the next day.
Of course, this song "Pieces Of Ice" is only playback...without mike....lool...and she even forgets to sing while dancing...lol...anyway...always liked the song....so monotone...have fun anyway...and: MANY GREETINGS TO WARNER MUSIC or SONY MUSIC...I´m sure they´ll try to CONTEND ID this video...ofc...if u´re bored and don´t know what to do with ur time...
Oh, btw: I think there isn´t a DVD of this concert anyway...so, no need to complain for the upload, I mean, what should u do: U like to watch, but can´t buy it...the artist won´t miss out any payment then, coz there´s nothing to pay...

p.s.

i guess you can't sing with a mic doing all those moves. back in the eighties they didn't have remote mic.

Well, yea, true, but that thing reminds me of the 1979-concert by Kate Bush performing live at the Hammersmith Odeon "Wuthering Heights" wearing a pseudo-headset built of a small mic and a seems-to-be do-it-urself thing...lol...

[GlitzPianoman]

@victormatll Actually, they did have remote mics at this time. Synth artist Howard Jones is seen using them at his concerts as early as '83.

1983 was the best year EVER in entertainment... music, video, movies, TV, etc... just the best.

@realhiphop3000 i meant venues in the USA. most of her venues are less than 5K with an occassional larger venue thrown in.

@whatigot2say Check out Diana's 2009 Symphony In Rosso live concert here on You Tube.

That's like a football stadium so I would not call that "smaller venues". lol

[RobotsDontCry]

it is not live!

@victormatell -lmao at remote / um eurythmics - howard jones - devo - etc

@wonderboyjoy yeh she did do her superbowl show with 10's of millions of viewers, of course it was one of the most spectacular shows of all time... she also performed for some huge events in europe/uk, with 10's of millions of viewers etc. but the aging thing was a reality that she had to accept. I'd go see her today too, her shows are getting rave reviews, she knows how to entertain.

[wonderboyjoy]

@dumbthings1970 i love gaga. she reminds me so much of diana in her heyday. slim, proud, great in concert.

[wonderboyjoy]

@whatigot2say what you say is also true. how could she ever top this. also the music world was changing with heaps of new artists and sounds. europe was really getting into electonic stuff and as you say diana was getting older. she had been around for such a long time i think people just got a little tired of her. she did have hits in europe, asia and australia after this. even though she plays smaller venues i would see her in an instant if i could. have a good day.

[whatigot2say]

@wonderboyjoy maybe some, but she had nearly a million people come to see her live, that nearly no one alive has been able to surpass.really what happened is she peaked after this concert there was no where else for her to go, what else could she do? she was mega successful in every area of her career. She was also entering her 40's and Americans don't/didn't take too kindly to 40 something singers. amazingly she's still performing pushing 70 but in much smaller venues.
