First Show: It was my first and only Barry concert, but it was a good show and I would really like to see him again! - Lisa Miramon (Amarillo, TX) (8/17/2002)

First Show - Michelle Harris (Phoenix, AZ) (7/5/2002)

My favorite concert (June 5): This was my most favorite show because I got a front row seat after spending nights in the line with my dear Barry friends and shared all the excitement together with them. Also, Barry was with friendly and talented Uncle Festive members. This time, seats were very close to the stage and we could almost reach Barry any second during the show! Barry opened the show with "Come with Me," my favorite opening song, and he sang the first part of song in Japanese! Very, very good Japanese! He must have very good ears as a musician. Also I knew that he practiced it very hard before he opened the first show in Aomori since there were some Japanese words that did not exactly go with the music. He sang over 22 songs from the oldest to the newest albums � "Copacabana" soundtrack (actually released in 1986). Loved "Sweet Heaven" with a little dance and powerful "Some Sweet Day." Also I loved songs from "Paradise Caf�," especially the duet "Blue" with Muffy which was so beautiful. Same as the 1983 Japan tour, he used lots of notes filled with Japanese greetings and introductions of his songs. His generous effort to communicate with audience in Japan was greatly appreciated. He arranged Japanese traditional song, "Sakura, Sakura," and played Japanese's instrument "Koto" very beautifully. - May Kawahara (Tokyo, Japan) (7/9/2005)

First Show: It was his second Japan tour! - Junko Yoshida (Tokyo, Japan) (4/7/2000)

June 28: It was at Poplar Creek that I actually got to meet Barry. I was part of a group of local fan clubs that decorated Barry's dressing room for that set of concert dates. Barry was so impressed with all of the decorations, he asked to meet us all. I can still remember how exciting the feeling was as we were escorted backstage to talk to Barry. He took his time talking to all of us, and posed for pictures with each one of us. It is hard to believe that it has almost been 20 years! - Mary Ann Nowak (Merrillville, IN) (10/25/2004)

First Show (Alpine Valley, Milwaukee) - Laura (of Minnesota) (3/8/2006)

First Show - Jamie Sidwell (Phoenix, AZ) (1/19/2000)

The most memorable day of my life... well, other than, maybe my wedding day! I got to go onstage and sing "Can't Smile Without You" with Barry. His blue eyes are gorgeous! And when he hopped on the piano and put his arms around me, I melted. Thanks, Barry, for an absolutely awesome experience!! - Norma Kinsel (Springfield, IL) (7/24/2008)

Favorite Show: Barry has such a presence. He is a showman. His concerts are so different than anyone else's that I've been to. He makes you feel so good when you're there with him, like he is singing to you only. - Mimi Hellmann (Salisbury, NC) (3/13/2000)

First Show (July 22) - Kathie Mott (Chickasha, OK) (2/5/2004)

First Show - Lisa (of Maine) (4/27/2000)

First Show (July 30): Wonderful Memories - Beautiful Summer Night - I brought my parents and my college sweetheart. We double dated! My mom loved Barry and was thrilled to see him LIVE. She taught me how to slow dance before my senior prom in 1981 to Barry's "I Don't Want To Walk Without You." Although my mom passed away in 1997, I will always cherish our shared enjoyment of Barry's music. I just purchased "Ultimate Manilow" and wistfully it's 1985 all over again. - Bob Williams (Roxbury, NJ) (2/23/2002)

August 13: My mom and I had floor seats about 15 rows back, and when Barry came back out for the encore, he sang "You're Lookin' Hot Tonight," and pointed at me as I was standing on my chair clapping! - Lisa (of Pembroke, NH) (1/5/2008)

First Show - Penny White (Jacksonville, FL) (6/26/2004)

First Show (November 17): After waiting hours in line to get the tickets several weeks before the event, this ended up not being just a concert - it was a fantastic production by Barry taking his music and turning it into a show! Well worth the time invested to purchase tickets!! - John McCumiskey (Sacramento, CA) (9/19/2002)

First Show - Lisa Leix (Atlanta, GA) (12/31/2000)

November 25: This was my very first Barry Manilow concert. I was 20 years old. I bought tickets for me and one of my sisters for that first concert and I bought six tickets (for me, my parents and three sisters) to go to the concert the next night (November 26th). We were pretty far back for that first concert, and I remember thinking, is it really him?? I loved it and have been to almost every concert he has done in Florida since then. - Linda Tamargo Perez (Kissimmee, FL) (3/9/2003)

Favorite Show: I cannot put it into words!! - Rebecca McAninch (Marysville, OH) (7/26/2004)
