Memories
November 25Wisconsin/Milwaukee[What I liked about this concert was the] setting: a theater instead of a big arena or stadium, the theatrical and autobiographical approach, and new areas of music (jazz, theatre). - Pam Weisel (Milwaukee, WI) (3/5/2002)
November 26Wisconsin/Milwaukee
November 27Wisconsin/Milwaukee
November 28Wisconsin/Milwaukee
December 1Michigan/KalamazooBarry's music has been a part of my life in both good and bad times. A lot of precious memories are attached to his music (Michigan 1981, 1983, 1985, 1987!). - Leah Forcell (Chicago, IL) (6/19/99)
December 3Illinois/Chicago
(Auditorium Theater)
Best Show Memory: At one point, it was dark in the theatre and they shined spotlights out in the audience. I was only about 15 rows back and I stood up on my seat and started waving at Barry. I'm pretty sure he had to see me! I've loved Barry for 21 years (ever since I was a little girl). Some things never change. - Terri Gresham (11/10/97)

(Show Me Center)
Lots and lots of rain! Barry was late from a prior engagement; crowd was disinterested; props, sound, lighting just didn't want to work properly. Barry worked & WORKED the audience, singing his heart out, telling jokes; hilarious and fun Christmas carols. After capturing them with the Gonzo Hits Medley, he reconsidered his finale, introducing "Please Don't Be Scared" ("I wasn't gonna do this for you, I didn't think you were ready for it...") - Candy Petersen (4/27/97)
