First/Favorite Show: [What I liked about this show was Barry's] Piercing Blue Eyes fixed on my own for "Where Or When"...

Two hearts frozen in time from first breath to last.
They all wondered where you were.
Some, perhaps, knew.
Only *we too* for certain.
Still, I wonder if he remembers
I shall never forget...

Oh, dear! Was I gone again? I think I'm back now! Geez! So much for therapy! Once you've seen Barry perform, up close & personal, it's quite difficult to stay in that "sane lane" down the road of life. HA! Who cares??!! B*a*r*r*y... You ARE the G*R*E*A*T*E*S*T! - Pamela Teel (of Oregon) (2/10/2002)

October 21Nevada/Las Vegas
(Desert Inn)
October 21: My friend (Angie) and I had flown out to New Hampshire to spend a couple of weeks with my sister (Katie) and her family. We heard that Barry was "doing Vegas," so we went straight down to the travel agent and booked our flights and hotel. I couldn't believe it when Barry picked me to sing with him! What a night to remember and, as we all know, what a terrific guy!! Thanks for everything, Barry. We love you! - Sarah Louise Harris (Southwater, Horsham, West Sussex, England) (1/21/2003)

October 22: It wasn't so much the show that was special (although all of Barry's concerts are special each in their own way), but after this show my friends Karen Nelson and Carmen Donesa went to take a walk around the pool. As we walked out the back door of the casino, who should be following us out the door but Barry and Marc. It was a wonderful moment as Barry walked up to the three comatose women and said hello. We only chatted for a few brief moments, but it was so wonderful, He was so sweet. And to think it was only 10 years, 2 days, 4 hours and some odd minutes (but whose counting!) from the very first time I had seen him concert. It was a moment and it worked!! - Carol Knoll (Appleton, WI) (3/21/2004)

November 7Philippines/Manila
(Pasig City, NAS [Ultra Stadium])
November 7th - First/Only Show (so far...): It was a great show, and one of the great concerts by a foreign artist in the Philippines. The show even had a 'repeat' after two weeks, [extending his stay]. No other artist ever made that kind of performance! The show started with "Ready To Take A Chance Again" and ended with "Looks Like We Made It". - Reggie Rodriguez (6/2/97)

Watching Barry sing made me feel totally different. I felt so in love with his music, his voice, the way he carries himself. Everything about him fascinates me. I feel crazy about him! Everytime I hear his voice over the radio, I feel the magic of his songs as though he was singing them in front of me. Although I am married, there is a different feeling in me for Barry ... It is crazy I admit, but if ever my husband reads this, I am willing to divorce him. I wish Barry would come back to the Philippines because a lot of Filipinos just appreciate his music! - Anicia Blanca T. Bondoc (of The Philippines) (12/20/98)

First Show (November 7):  It was such a grand, crazy moment - Filipinos flocked to the concert venue, causing a major traffic jam and clogging streets everywhere. My friends and I had to walk about a quarter of an hour (all the parking spots near the concert venue had been taken) just to reach the stadium. By the time we got inside, the concert had already begun (he was already singing "Can't Smile Without You"). Hearing his voice live for the first time literally felt like having a bucket of ice water poured down my back - I can still feel the shivers, Even Now!  Filipinos are born romantics, and it wasn't a surprise to see them filling up the entire stadium. The seats were all taken, and tens of thousands of concert-goers had scattered all throughout the football field. Everyone knew the songs and sang the lyrics along with him. The field just reverberated with all those great words and melodies. What I liked most about the concert was my personal moment of embarrassment. I'm actually so familiar with his songs that I can recognize what it is on the first note. I remember screaming (just a bit?) when he hit the first note of "Looks Like We Made It" (one of my personal favorites) on his piano. Well, the rest of humanity didn't have as quick a reaction time - good thing the throng hid me when I dove to the ground in embarrassment (blush). Seeing him perform that night was the fulfillment of one of my little girl dreams. After seeing his televised performance at the Greek Theatre for countless times (that was back in 1980 or so, when I was still a child), I had always wanted to hear those heartfelt songs sung live. I can only say that his concert was indeed worth the wait. I'm still waiting for the day when I can see him perform live in Manila for the second time - I hope it won't take another decade or so!! - Renny (of The Philippines)

November 7: It has fulfilled my long-time dream of hearing and seeing my favorite performer in the flesh! It was also the best gift I ever received for my birthday. I hope I'll get to see Barry perform again here in Manila. - Weiss Tiongson (Manila, Philippines) (11/12/2000)

I am a Barry Manilow fan. But that is the understatement of the decade! As I write this, I am listening to his Greatest Hits CD. I brought my wife along that starry November evening for the concert in Pasig City. I hope she didn't feel jealous because I know all of Barry's songs by heart as I was singing along the whole evening (which caught my wife by surprise!). I hope when Barry does come again for another concert here (...soon?) we can do a duet together, even if I am not a professional singer. Barry's concert hit the front pages of national dailies here for weeks! No groups were able to do that, not even the Beatles. We call it "Barry Mania." - L. Encarnacion (of The Philippines) (8/27/2001)

November 7: The concert was spectacular! Filipinos loved it so much I'm surprised he has not done a repeat after 10 years. [This concert] happens to be my personal favorite because not only did I enjoy his performance tremendously, it became more memorable for me because my best friend and I were caught unaware by the camera singing and shouting his name at the top of our voices! And this particular concert night was even shown on Philippine TV so my friend and I had our share of five minutes of fame as we were singing "As Sure As I'm Standin' Here" with Barry. How I wish he/we could do it all again! - Maria Christie V. Fernando (Manila, Philippines) (3/5/2002)

I simply love Barry Manilow! As a teenager, I promised myself that I'd go to see his concert no matter what the cost, although at the time, the possibility of him ever visiting Manila was so unlikely. And so after more than 10 years of waiting, my dream of witnessing him perform live finally came true. He was magnificent! Now that I'm in Canada, if he'd ever stage a performance in the great prairie City of Winnipeg, I can assure you that I'd be one of the audience at the front seat! - Helen Languisan (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) (6/13/2002)

All those years I was living and working in Manila I had been to a lot of concerts, and during those times I kept on hoping that one day I could see Barry perform live in front of my very eyes. It took years of waiting for my ultimate dream concert to happen ... I watched his concert twice in Manila, first at our PICC where we sat in one of the best seats. I can't describe my feeling when he came out, moreso when he started to sing... I cried! Then came his concert in ULTRA which is a massive stadium. Again I was there on his first day but that time it was like a pandemonium. My friends and I weren't able to find our seats. It was an enormous crowd - [obviously] I wasn't the only one who love Barry so much! I guess 9 out of 10 Filipinos love his music because he's different. I feel some kind of fulfillment after I saw him. I love his music and his melody; his repertoire is excellent. How I wish I'll have another chance to see him again, even here in the U.K. - Cecilia M.P. (of the United Kingdom)

It was a dream come true! Since high school my sister and I had been waiting for that moment when Barry would finally come for a concert in the Philippines. I had been calling hotels and possible venues of his concert years before he actually came to the Philippines, and at long last, I saw him on stage... his moves, his style, his music! I practically know all lyrics of his songs, most of them even became part of my personal life: I Made It Through The Rain, Looks Like We Made It, Ready to Take a Chance Again, and all the rest. I just love Barry and his music. I hope my daughter can have the chance of experiencing his music live and in person!! - Cecille Perez (Manila, Philippines) (1/8/2005)

I sat in one of the first rows. I saved money for that concert. I love Barry Manilow and it's my dream to have a photo with him - my ultimate dream. I will be seeing Barry when he comes to Jacksonville, FL (January 2011). It will be my 50th birthday! - Jo-Ann Bolante (Jacksonville, FL) (10/7/2010)

November 7: Although I had seen Barry the night before -- which happens to be our wedding anniversary -- this was the best concert ever! My whole family was with me. He caused traffic in the city! Perfect romantic evening under the stars. A dream come true! Every one was singing along, fans screaming. I can sing his song in one note! Goose bumps on goose bumps on every song he sang. I felt he was serenading me. I have watched his show three nights in a row and then came back again for "THE REPEAT." It was a great show, wonderful showmanship. He is the only artist to make a repeat concert. Too bad he hasn't been back to Manila. I' m so lucky I have migrated to the US and watch his shows. - Zenaida Millan (Plano, Texas) (2/17/2017)

November 14Singapore (Singapore Indoor Stadium)I managed to get front row seats just in front of his piano! Barry began the intro to the travelogue, which was "A Little Travelling Music, Please". I started clapping and cheering, then Barry stopped, looked down and said, "Now that's a fan" ... a moment in my life that I will never forget!! - Robin Gomes (of Singapore) (10/4/98)

First and Favorite Show:  I [bought] two expensive tickets for my husband and myself. However, before the concert started, my husband had to visit the gents, but as soon as the concert began, the lights were dimmed and he could not find his way back to our seats. I ended up watching the whole concert on my own with the S$140 seat next to me empty!  So I was crying on my own when Barry did not choose me to sing with him. Memories! - Eliana Mohtar (of Singapore) (5/28/99)

First Show:  This was on my then boyfriend's (now husband's) birthday! - Jennifer Tan (of Singapore) (5/29/99)

Show Memory: The audience was as wild as any I've seen in the states! The Japanese girl he called up to the stage sang the whole song with Barry, in English. I was impressed. You should have seen the reaction of the crowd when Barry sang "Sakura", IN Japanese! - Dee Rudd (11/8/97)

My most memorable concert: This was the Japan version of "One Night Live, One Last Time!" ... Barry's very last concert in Japan (as of today). I flew back to Japan for this concert. "Cheating papers" -- notes filled with the greetings and introduction of his songs in Japanese -- were not seen anywhere on his piano this time. Barry spoke to us only in English (Finally, he felt at home after visiting Japan 5 times?). He sang over 20 of "the greatest hits" songs and finished with a very strong performance of "Let Freedom Ring." There were HUGE applauses and standing ovations. After the lights lit up in the house and then there were announcements saying "Today's performances are all finished, have a safe trip to home, etc.," nobody left or moved. Everybody wanted more! Five minutes passed, pre-recorded Barry songs were playing in the house but still nobody moved. We wanted Barry! 10 minutes passed, there were still big applauses and claps all over the house and finally the band came back to the stage followed by Barry! He was amazed and asked us what we wanted to hear. I yelled "Somewhere In the Night" but he couldn't hear me at first. My friends joined me and shouted together again and he played it for us!! What a memorable night. His music was too magic to end. - May Kawahara (Tokyo, Japan) (7/9/2005)
