I was there! you may be interested to know that she was giving two performances a night (albeit a shorter act. this was part of an extensive British tour.) how could we have known that as recently as 28/10/2010 this grat artist would be on the same stage singing `Something` with the Royal PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA at the age of 73. SEE CLIP youtube (beatles tribute)

@IFINEVERSING

Thank you for this information.

I would have loved to be there but i am much too young.

I was born more than 20 years after this great performance of her signature song and i was there last month and saw Shirley sing Somehting,

so glad i got the chance.

@IFINEVERSING probably the best recording of shirley I have heard and seen why do we not see the wonderful Miss Bassey more on British television there should be a Tv channel dediciated to her alone and archives like this she is a british treasure

could the line at 2:20 "forgetting all the breaks ive had in my life", possibly be sung or emoted, more divinely ? along with the power comes amazing amazing control. Whitney who ??

Thank you Jim & Jimmy for turning on a lost little run away rocker to some of the greatest music. I still carry it with me as well as the love you gave me.

I really really REALLY wish I could find this entire special on DVD as well as her All About Shirley tv special. These are mindblowing other-wordly performances. I feel electricity going through my body watching her perform. I think she is the ultimate DIVA personally, past present and future. She could sing it ALL!!
