PerformerBarry Manilow
Additional InformationFIRST & FAREWELL celebrates the music career of one of showbusinessÆ brightest and most enduring stars, Barry Manilow. The film begins, appropriately enough, with a section entitled æThe FirstÆ which contains previously unseen footage of the crooner rehearsing before his 1974 concert in New York, as well as his debut performance of the æCommercial MedleyÆ, a mix of Manilow-penned advertising jingles. This segues neatly into the filmÆs second half, called simply æThe FarewellÆ. Here youÆll find his 2004 farewell tour, ONE NIGHT LIVE! ONE LAST TIME!, recorded at The Pond in Anaheim. And so the Manilow saga comes full circle with a collection of memorable performances of some of his greatest hits.
