Awesome clip and I bet the entire show was filmed too. I wonder who has a copy of it? And is that Berry Robinson in the chair on stage towards the end of the video?

In his book, Smokey wrote that he filmed his last day with the Miracles, from the dressing room to the concert itself. Brief clips were shown on his MOTOWN ON SHOWTIME special in the late 80s.
And yes, that is Berry Robinson on the chair. I guess they needed someone to watch him while mom and dad were on stage.
This may have been their performance at the carter baron in d.c.
There was a 2 Lp vinyl release of that show which included some roasting of Smokey
by Bobby Rogers and a " say Hello" moment to Billy Griffin, Smoke's replacement. Also
his tribute to his former partners, the song Sweet Harmony. For the life of me I don't
know why it wasn't re-issued...
Probably released sometime after I stopped looking for it. Appears to be out of print again
now....
