Just acquired a copy of the 1976 CD "An Evening With Diana Ross" and am very impressed with the sound quality and the packaging which is a minature replica of the original gatefold album cover in very good quality card. Also love the CD which is a copy of the vinyl record. Great value from Amazon at £8.71.
I recall seeing this concert when Diana toured Europe in 1976. The event was in Manchester, UK around her birthday [[the audience sang "Happy Birthday" to her).
The start of the show is what sticks in my mind the most. The blacked out stage was filled with butterflies for the "Overture" when one came to rest of Diana's shoulder. spotlight on her face during "Here I Am" afterwhich the stage lit up and a mime dancer extended the sleeve on her dress on which images of the singer were projected while she sang "I Wouldn't Change A Thing".
One of the best ever openings of her concerts IMO.
