Diana at Manchester Arena

[carlo]

Diana's latest stop this evening, on the UK tour, was at Manchester Arena. It looks like she came out for an extra encore and asked the audience what they wanted to hear. Someone requested "The Boss" and she was happy to oblige, much to the audience's delight. I have uploaded the video to the link below, to make it easier for those who may be technologically challenged [credit to louisccb75 on Instagram].

I’ve seen pictures and videos on SM. It was a huge crowd. Her voice is getting stronger. New costumes. I’ve seen clips of “I’m still waiting”, “if we hold on together”, and “Home”. I think she may have sung/sang “When you tell me you love me”, though I haven’t confirmed that. She also added in the Q&A part of the show. Curious to see what the complete set list is.

Sounding pretty good in those clips.

Thanks for the report, khansperac. Wonderful to hear that she sang "Home" as well. It sounds like she has been switching up the setlist each night thus far, which hopefully should be pleasing to those who have voiced their concerns previously, in regards to the setlist. I did notice a few different costumes in the clips that I saw as well. She seems to be rotating them each night. She must have brought a few huge trunks overseas

Mindful1, thanks for the link to that YouTube video. She does indeed sound great! As I had noted in an earlier thread, her voice does seem to be getting stronger with each show, and this is a good sign.

She sounds terrific singing “The Boss”. Relaxed and in full voice. Wonderful to see such a large crowd.

Here is a complete video of Diana singing Home at the Manchester show, during the encore Q&A segment. She sounds incredible!

Here's the review from the Guardian.

I don't know if it’s breathing technique or a more relaxed vocal style, but her voice sounds really good. I Remember her sounding awful when she performed “Home” a few years back that even she looked unhappy. Perhaps she should sing more songs sitting down.

Great review! Thanks!

Superb review!

Plus there is an interesting, if of course subjective, ranking of her top 20 songs with a surprise #1 in Home.

[florence]

Great to see a packed arena but strangely the audience don't seem to connect with Chain Reaction.

some US nightly news channel ought to do a feature on Diana’s triumphant return to the UK.

Its rather significant/remarkable

Significant? Maybe for the UK, but definitely not here in the US. They wouldn't do a story about it.

[copley]

Very good review. She is mixing things up which is a good sign even including 'My World Is Empty Without You' which was not a UK hit. What next 'Itching'!

she brought this hard-bitten old nag to tears. Lordy! We are sitting here sobbing.

[dickiemint]

She seem to have settled back into the show, and the you tube videos I've watched are incredible, the audio is much better too, maybe it's because it's and indoor arena , but I so pleased that the reviews are positive ones, let's hope that Glastonbury is a triumph for Ms Ross !!

Here's an even better quality video of "Home" from Manchester.

Here's the full video of her performing The Boss in Manchester, for the encore. She sounds fantastic! I believe it was Ollie who had commented in a different thread about how she should sit down and sing more often. It does seem to allow her to hit those high notes much more easily, as seen with her other encore numbers. Maybe she is more relaxed. Interesting.

[after you]

Oh my God she sounds phenomenal at 78 years old this is really hard to believe it she is better than most of her peers she’s got the voice the haters have been silenced love love love this so much Way to go Diana

[Ollie9]

The haters have been silenced love love love this so much Way to go Diana

I wouldn't go that far. I’m still immensely jealous of her talent and beauty. Once a hater always one I guess.

It was indeed Carlo. I’m simply amazed at how good she sounds sitting down. Relaxing her body appears to have a really positive effect on her vocals.
Perhaps she should perform the entire concert from a comfy chaise longue.

[masterblaster]

She’s excellent. The ‘sit down’ encore at Leeds was “It’s My Turn” which she sang without any backing vocals. It was incredible.

[thommg]

I am thrilled that she is enjoying herself and wrapping herself in the love being shown. When she's relaxed and happy, no one can beat her!

[Boogiedown]

couple of things stick out in these images..

....much more cheeky.

Curious to see what the complete set list is.

A good place to check setlists for Miss Ross [[and in fact any other artist) is https://www.setlist.fm/setlists/dian...-73d6bef9.html though - since it's dependent on users uploading their lists and can sometimes have errors - not always 100% accurate.
