Assuming that your show contained the same repertoire as mine, how did you like the horns at the point of the newly-arranged instrumental break in the middle of "Love Child" when the music suddenly turns hot, wild and Latin? The whole horn section becomes choreographed and quickly arc their horns to their left, toward Diana, as Diana and her back-up singers, who are now equally front stage center, are dancin' and gettin' down! Man, was that band cookin' or what? For me, that was the most unexpected and thrilling moment of the show. [[I think they did the same Latin thing in the mid-instrumental break of "I Will Survive" as well.) The rest of the show, of course, was Diana deluxe, as expected! At the end of the show, Diana and her entire band left the stage and returned -- three times -- for standing ovations! It was, and still is, goosebump-worthy! I know it's a night that I'll never forget! Thanks for sharing. - Gary
