Hi folks!
Is there any info about Diana's 1982 Brussels show? Was it recorded entire? What was the setlist?
The only footage I know is from the videoclip of "Missing You".
If you have any info and you can share with me I'll be grateful!

I don't know anything for certain about the Brussels show. But I would think that the entire show was recorded. I know that she gave an interview to Gerri Hershey during that tour and Hershey noted that there was someone filming highlights, both onstage and backstage. For what purpose, I have no idea. Like most of us, I've only seen the footage shown in the MISSING YOU video.
Re the set list, this was what Diana sang when I saw her in August of 1982. I doubt much changed between this and the earlier European leg of the tour.
AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH
I'M COMING OUT
THE BOSS
TOUCH ME IN THE MORNING
IT'S MY HOUSE / NO ONE GETS THE PRIZE
REACH OUT AND TOUCH
SUPREMES MEDLEY:
REFLECTIONS-BABY LOVE-STOP! IN THE NAME OF LOVE-LOVE IS LIKE AN ITCHING IN MY HEART
REMEMBER ME
LADY SINGS THE BLUES
T'AIN'T NOBODY'S BIZNESS IF I DO
I CRIED FOR YOU
MY MAN
MIRROR, MIRROR
Intermission
YOU KEEP ME HANGIN' ON
UPSIDE DOWN
WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE
WORK THAT BODY
THEME FROM MAHOGANY / AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH
ENDLESS LOVE
Some similarity to today - but longer; age shows and follows the routine that is now common for an entertainer of that vintage
The current DR show is a bore for longterm fans.
This set list is not that different from her current show 37 years later.
I remember hearing Diana originally intended to include a full concert VHS in the Forever Diana box set. I believe it was the show filmed in Brussels. Motown was concerned with the additional costs involved, so it didn't happen.Quote:

That pretty much is the same show for the last three and a half decades. The only real difference is the Supremes songs have been expanded.Quote:

It looks like "Why do fools fall in love" was her latest album. Her shows changed every year to include new material from her latest album releases. The next year she had "Muscles" and "Fool for your love" added. And "Muscles" was over 15 minutes long with audience participation. So no her show have not been the same for the last 37 years. Now days she just performs all the hits.
I don't think for the last 3 concerts I have seen Diana that she sung;
TOUCH ME IN THE MORNING
IT'S MY HOUSE / NO ONE GETS THE PRIZE
REACH OUT AND TOUCH
REMEMBER ME
Lady Sings The Blues
T'AIN'T NOBODY'S BIZNESS IF I DO
I CRIED FOR YOU
MY MAN
MIRROR, MIRROR
WORK THAT BODY
Endless Love
I think Don't Explain has replaced the LSTB songs.....
Love Child has been included in the Supreme melody and
I have not heard Muscles since New York.
Also please bring back "Its My Turn" and "Good Morning Heartache".
There are so many songs in her history of music and yes I am certain the Brussels show was taped. Whether it still exist or not is another story.
The current show is shorter but is essentially the same regarding the material. Two divas have been accused of having the same show for 4 decades. In the exact same slots they insert material from the latest release and remove songs from previous release to keep the show 'current'.Quote:

Next, interesting to see that she was doing Remember Me in 1982. I saw her in Sept 1981 at the Riviera Hotel in Vegas and she wasn't doing Remember Me in Vegas, unless it was because Vegas shows were usually shorter than full concert halls. Has Miss Ross included Remember Me then off and on in concerts.
Fans record her shows on their cellphones and post them on Youtube.
Footage of Diana and Marvin on stage in Brussels is included in her MISSING YOU video.Quote:

I saw her in 1981 in Lake Tahoe and she did Remember Me.
Thanks Marvin.Quote:
