Wow - saw Diana 25 years ago in Oz [[different city, not outdoors) but this concert seems different.

Filmed for a TV special [[which I didn't see at the time) and the audience [[some in tuxedos, seemingly stuck in highpriced deck-chairs) didn't seem to get into it - at least at first. Fair to say that - before Diana - these concerts at Leeuwin Estate had mostly been orchestras - though Dionne had done one a few years before.
Band and set seems too schmaltzy/cabaret-like for my tastes. The concert I saw - which musta been part of the same tour - was better sound-mixed at least. had a few different songs, seemed more poppy.
Apologies if this has been posted before but just in case some had not seen it
