A big series of shows for Diana & the Supremes at the Deauville Hotel on Miami Beach back in April 1969.
Anyone seen any reviews for these shows & know how their act went down ??
Were they doing a show full of Motown songs or a cabaret style perfomance [[the latter I'd guess).
As plans had already been hatched for Diana to go solo [[just 8 months later), I'd think that the show reflected this fact & that Diana got to do a solo or two.

Don't know for sure, but reviews I've read of other shows from that year suggest that they were doing an act similar to that on the FAREWELL album.

I'm sure I have the review from Variety amongst my memorabilia. Most reviews from that time-frame sounded like they did the same show with very little variation, whether it was at a supper-club or a one-nighter in an arena.

I saw an arena show in 1968 that was similar to Talk of the Town. Shows I attended in late 1969, on two college campuses and at a summer theater, were similar to Farewell with a bit of TOTT.
