- A wonderfully entertaining television special, "Barry Manilow: Songs from the Seventies" was filmed in September 2007 at the old Navy Yard in Brooklyn, "right down the block from where I grew up in Williamsburg," as Manilow explains onstage. The 2-DVD set includes the television special in 5.1 SurroundSound on the first disc, plus a bonus disc featuring an unaired mini-concert of alternate performances, along with behind-the-scenes footage. The hit-heavy set list is an inspired mix of Manilow's own '70s gems - including "Mandy," "Could It Be Magic" and the especially fitting "New York City Rhythm" - along with other memorable '70s smashes that Manilow makes his own. The superb selection of covers includes Albert Hammond's "It Never Rains in Southern California" and the Hollies' "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother," plus an homage to Barbra Streisand with "The Way We Were."
