Barry in the Round! No matter where you sat in the arena you had a great view of Barry. It was excellent! - Eden Copeland (of the United Kingdom) (10/27/2001)

It was the closest I had been to the front of the stage and the one and only time I thought he would pick me for "Can't Smile Without You." Sadly I wasn't picked, but the concert still brings back such happy memories. - Carole Bailey (Wigan, England) (4/3/2005)

First Show - Lisa Goodier (Bolton, England) (6/28/2000)

I started listening to Barry's music when I was about 13. My mum used to play it All The Time! I have been to four concerts and have taken my mum and her friends. I thought I would be the youngest there at the age of 32, but there are all ages. Looking forward to another show. - Lisa Haslewood (Doncaster, England) (3/15/2004)

Videos and DVDs of Barry are good, but live shows are unbelievable. He has such charisma and presence on stage, you can't beat it. - Vicki Dryburgh (Glasgow, Scotland) (2/20/2005)

This was the "In The Round" tour and my seat was in the second row. It was a simply fantastic night and at last Barry was playing in my home town. I wanted the night to last forever but sadly it didn't. It is just fabulous when Barry comes to Newcastle and I have seen him every time since. Thanks, Barry, for all the songs you have given us. They always inspire me and make me feel better if I down. - Angela Berry (Cramlington, Northumberland, England) (5/17/2002)

The first time is always the best! I loved everything about the show, especially The Man himself. I was already in love with him, I just fell a little deeper that night. Please, please, please come back to Ireland. I can't wait! - Hazel Legge (Belfast, Ireland) (5/13/2003)

First Show - Marlene Peplow (Birmingham, England) (9/30/2001)

Favorite Show:  The concert was "In The Round", which was superb, and I think more of them should be, as every seat is quite good. It was the U.K. Convention so there was a maximum amount of fans there and the atmosphere was electric. Barry sang "Somewhere In The Night" (my favorite song) alongside "Keep Each Other Warm". It was a show I will remember forever. Thanks Barry! - Hazel Bell ("CSWY" girl) (Workington, Cumbria, England) (6/1/99)

[The Mirage concerts] were my favorite, sharing them with loved friends. It was a perfect time. - Ann Holman (of California) (12/16/98)

First Show - Aline Nagler (Winnipeg, Canada) (1/17/99, 1/5/2004)

First/Favorite Show (May 18): [What I liked about this show was] the communication with the audience, no matter the different language... [The concert was] a dream come true... all the music, Barry's heart in every note he sings. No doubt, he's gorgeous! I love all the concert! I will love it if he comes again SOON! - Teresa Ruiz (of Mexico) (1/10/2006, 3/12/2007)

The concert itself was wonderful, of course, and I was very excited to be sitting near where Barry Manilow appeared in the audience at the start of the show. But, definitely, what made this show special was that my husband proposed to me at this concert. Barry read a letter he had received from my now husband and invited us up, where my husband made his proposal. Of course I said Yes! Barry then sang "The Best of Me." We received an autographed video of that portion of the concert when we returned to our seats. We showed the video at our wedding reception and danced our first dance during the part where Barry was singing. I have since been to other Manilow concerts, all wonderful, but this one will always be my [favorite]. - Denise Palczewski (of California) (7/26/2001)

Favorite Show: I had my 16-year old daughter, Mandy, in tow. Barry was fabulous... did the Macarena aka Maca-Manilow (hokey pokey), made "Could it Be Magic" last forever and sang "Keep Each Other Warm," hence, granting all three of my wishes. During the concert, Mandy and Jason were making eye contact and after the concert Di Coleman walked up to Mandy and said "Where'd you go girl, he was looking for you?" Made a wonderful memory for Mandy. We both flew back to Chicago thrilled... touched in a personal way! - Dawn Gay Truslow (Charleston, SC) [formerly Chicago, IL] (9/1/2005)

Favorite Show:  The concert was GREAT!!  My sister and I had excellent seats. The best part about the whole show was when Barry took time to meet some fans. He allowed then to come up to the end of the stage and would shake their hands. I was at the stage but it was the end of a song and streamers were being shot off so I never got the chance to shake his hand. But he said that he would be back...! - Peggy (of Wilmington, NC) (6/26/99)

First Show - Melisa Gaunay (Troy, NY) (6/14/2000)

Favorite Show:  It was the first time we had great seats and it was the first time my two daughters were seeing Barry in person (they have grown up listening to him).  We all enjoyed the concert, I don't know who had more fun, my watching their reactions or their watching mine!  Barry actually "scared" me or should I say "took my breath away".  He was so close that I felt like he was looking right at me.  I've loved every concert that I've ever seen and he always makes me want to see him again before we even get out of the parking lot (which is quite a feat because I've never gone back to see even a movie or show twice).  Thanks Barry!!  Looking forward to seeing you again real soon. - Turi Jakobsen (3/24/98)

Favorite Show Memory - Barry sang "Weekend In New England" with so much feeling, it haunted me for weeks.  Also sang fast version of "Could It Be Magic" that I truly loved. - Anne Clark (2/17/98)
