Diana Ross At Caesar's Palace In Las Vegas 1979 (Full Concert) 

For any millenials watching, this concert was technically cutting edge for its time. The whole video entrance was groundbreaking and so advanced. Diana Ross was the top female star at the time this was filmed.

That intro was WAY ahead of its time for 1979! Unbelievable!

Watching this 40 years later and still can say: What a great show!

This is concert goals. As a Millennial, we don't have concerts like this. A concert without phones. Enjoying the moment and music.

When I bought my first house I bumped “its my house” like a billion times to the point that my neighbors knocked on my door to ask if this was my house 🤣

If any artist wants to know how to enage an audience watch this woman back in the day. Nobody better

I was at this concert. I was 16 years old we were at one of the tables along the stage. I was about the 6th seat from the stage. What an incredible show. 😊

Diana is an attractive woman but when she sings she becomes beautiful....she smiles when she sings even sad songs and it doesn't come across as out of place...she's got it in spades there will never be another like this girl

This lady has what is called a truly amazing voice gifted from God. No other can perform like her and we still have her performing today 2024. I call her blessed. 🙏🏾❤️

Best concert I've ever seen. I've seen many. Not one time did she ever lose contact with the audience. Extraordinary. Exceptional. Incredible. Queen. Teacher. Apex.

Background singers killing it on vocals

This had to be seen as cutting edge for 1979. I didn't even know they had video screens and could splice like that back then. Have to respect her for longevity and for her perfect showmanship. She knows how to work her crowd.

I have watched this concert countless times ever since I was a kid. I know every song, note, gesture, mannerism. I am now 52 years old. I love Diana Ross!

More than 15 year old veteran at this point and who knew she had more than 40 year career ahead of her wow

I attended this show in Caesars Palace during September 1979 as a 22 year old, on my first trip to Las Vegas. Great to see it again.

Her best opening ever. Over the top, innovative for its time, beauty icon, fashion icon, feminine yet strong and confident. This is actually Diana’s sweet spot. She is a complete entertainer and the mix of hits with dancers, special effects, lighting and that distinctive voice and presence is a magical alchemy.

Her singing in full voice was awesome. At her peak

I just love that she's always smiling whilst she's performing, so infectious

This is better than today's concerts

Came here after watching the 2022 Grammys to see a real show. What a class act. We need this type of artistic integrity today.

Marvin Gaye u looked sooo amazing and sounded amazing

I saw this show in Detroit and Aretha Franklin was in the audience on reach out and touch and OMG And Aretha killed it

This is magical! The first black megastar. And to think we are still blessed to have her here with us.

NO GRAMMY, NO OSCAR- NO PROBLEM!!!! LONG LASTING CAREER!!!!

I REMEMBER THIS SHOW AS IF IT WAS JUST YESTERDAY, MY WIFE AND I WAS AT THIS SHOW, RIGHT UP IN FRONT TABLE, YES MISS ROSS'S WAS WAY BEFORE HER TIME WITH THE TECHNO AND STAGE ENTRANCE !!! THE NIGHT THE LEGEND MARVIN GAYE WAS AT THE SHOW, ALONG WITH MISS ROSS'S MUM AND THREE DAUGHTERS !!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

"What ever happened to that hometown girl"? Living her dreams. Quite motivational.

Now this is what I call legendary and unforgettable. Nothing against the new entertainers but you have to be a star. Ms Ross was and is one of the most glamorous female artists of our time.

Fan or not, in her heyday, she could definitely put on a show.

If you have seen Diana Ross, you have seen The Very BEST!!!!

As hard as it may be to believe, in 1979, Diana took this entire show one the road, performing in many cities. Orchestra, dancers, background choir, movie screens and all. It was earthshaking to see live. Due to the large dimensions of the stage, they tended to set it up in sports arenas versus auditoriums. Back in those days, if you liked the newer songs on the set list (The Boss, No One Gets the Prize, I Ain't Been Licked, It's My House, All for One), you had to run out and buy the new vinyl album (The Boss). And everyone did, immediately! It's no wonder she was topping the charts back then.

I'VE BEEN A SUPREMES FAN SINCE 1963...... AND STILL CRAZY ABOUT THIS SUPER STAR IN 2023.........SIXTY YEARS OF PURE HAPPINESS

Why this has never been officially released on DVD is heartbreaking to ponder. This concert is fueled with DIANA ROSS at her vocal BEST from beginning to end. I lose it every time on "God Bless The Child" and "My Man"...This lady is phenomenal on levels that no other female entertainer could ever reach if they tried. Diana ROSS is THE BOSS. PERIOD!

It’s 2021 and Diana is still killing it. One thing I appreciate of Diana is her humility. She doesn’t have to prove her status as Diva. She has earned it ! Ms. Diana Ross, an American Institution. Hard work has earned her a net worth of approx. $300 million. She has stayed out of too much politics which can ruin a stars reputation. She was smart. She has destroyed all racial barriers. She must be one of the most successful vocalist in American history. This Diva is an inspiration to all of us.

Well, this is why Michael Jackson was totally drop head upside down for this woman , she is a sparkling gem of class and aura ! Such a desirable woman !

an actual and legit superstar w no autotune and the god gifted voice & vibrato of an actual angel

She brought this show to Atlanta, and I was there. Miss Ross never disappoints, and I've lost count of how many times I've seen her live. She's really about the last of the old school entertainers left. G!

There is no smile that is as infectious as her smile. There is no voice that reaches into your heart and touches it like her voice. There is no entertainer on the face of the earth that brings such joy, such talent, such glamour and so much of her essence to the stage as Diana Ross does...and she's been doing it for over 50 years! I've been privileged to see her in concert a few times and all I can say is that I am at once uplifted and exhausted each time they ends. She takes you with her on the journey of a lifetime and just when you think it's time for another of "HER" songs, she hits you right between the eyes with another of, what by now are, her standards. I've always been lucky enough to be standing next to her when she comes out into the audience when she does "Reach Out & Touch...." and I can only tell you that she is every bit as gorgeous as she is up on the screen. There is a loveliness that comes from deep within her that is always there...every show...every year...no matter the audience. She leaves it all on the stage when she finally takes her leave of the stage and sings the last notes continue to play you out the door. It's an experience you'll never forget and it's one you'll wish you'll have again! She is a polished, seasoned and amazing performer.

There's just something about Diana Ross. Even Michael Jackson was captivated by Diana Ross' special something. I think Diana Ross was able to step out in the "God Idea" of herself and what we got was something beyond what we could imagine.

Gotta be honest. Haven’t seen this concert in 30 years and the entrance still gets me! ❤️❤️❤️

Can’t believe I’m saying this in 2020. She need to bring back this act for her concerts.

After seeing Diana Ross last night live in concert at the age of 78, it is amazing to see this. I wish I could have seen her when she was younger. What a star

OMG is she good, or what? What a show, what a legend !!!!! I was lucky enough to have her sit on my lap in Norway singing;)))))

That my friends is how you make an ENTRANCE. I was 4-years-old when I saw this on HBO in 1979. I was mesmerized to say the least and have been a fan ever since. I know everyone considers her Central Park show the most iconic but this is Diana at her best. The slicked back hair, the furs, the out of this world vocals, the dancers and the screen. This show was ahead of its time and so was DIANA!!!! #LOVEIT

The entrance and everything in between and that exit 🙌 she truly showed she was the boss .. now this whole show could be a vehicle for a Broadway show ... 🙌

Now that's an entrance a star makes.

Diana is a class act! A consummate entertainer; second to none! 🌠

This tour first kicked off in April of 1979 in Providence, Rhode Island. There were 20,000 people in attendance and the excitement was rampant. When Diana burst through the screen after that incredibly beautiful montage, everyone was on his/her feet. The original concert included a sexy rendition of Lovin, Livin, Givin with images of Diana covered in feathers and nothing else being projected onto the giant screen. She also sang each character's songs from The Wiz to promote the album "Diana Ross Sings Songs From The Wiz" which was shelved at that time to be released in the 2000's. She ended the show by floating out from backstage lounging in an enormous shoe and singing You Were The One from Ross 78. For this video from Caesar's Palace the show was revamped to promote her fab Album "The Boss" so other portions of the original show were removed. Too bad because the imagery of Lovin, Livin, Givin was amazing. I saw this version at Caesar's a few times and the audience reaction was the same as in Providence for the original tour. The original tour was called "Tour 79" and there's a great promotional ad for it but I can't find it anywhere on RU-vid. I have the promo ad in my collection but it's of poor quality. In this show, her versions of "God Bless the Child" and "My Man" will remain highlights of Ross's career forever. Seeing this concert in person was chilling!!!!

This is why so many other performers were busy being haters of Diana Ross,maybe if they put their all into their professing,they wouldn't have the time to be so jealous of my singer,Miss Diana Ross,I will always love her no matter how others feel about her,because she is a true go getter❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ her😍

One of the best concerts I've ever seen.

This woman is legendary

Any Millennials watching this, the production values/technology used in this concert were way ahead of their time! This was cutting edge stuff! The video/big screen- this was mind blowing to audiences- the dancers and costumes? No one else did this at the time! No autotune- ALL live! Exactly 40 years ago, Sept 1979- Aug 2019. "The Boss" was No1 on the Billboard Disco Chart & in the Top 20 of the Hot 100 singles when this was recorded.

At the height of her vocal power and prowess - my gosh Ms Ross was on full throttle here 😍😍

Nobody mentioned that the goat of male black singers, Marvin Gaye, makes an appearance at 37:40. Btw, it wasn't rehearsed and he sounds so flawless, like a diamond b4 the cut.

She's Flawless

That was state of art technology the screen intro very advanced for the year I bet the casino paid a lot of money for this show

Diana is a Goddess. She sings smiling and thats absolutly wonderful. What a Singer, what a Voice! She doesnt just sing, she acts and she talks, all in elegant and classy style.

The most Beautiful Concert i have ever seen

I loved the back ground singers!

No cellphone blocking the experience for the audience. I remember this show. Wow

The Lady...The Legend...The Legacy...Dame Diana..Forever Love!

This was in February 1979 its February 2021 shes still performing 🙌🏾 50+ years wow

I saw this concert in Oklahoma City, OK, the part when she has the red dress on, she came into the audience and sat on my Dad's lap and sang to him.....

This was the best goddamned concert she ever did bar none! She was in great voice, and at the height of her glamour. She delivered 150% on this one. This is absolutely why she was the BOSS! ♥️♥️♥️

Truly she's been an underrated artist, but clearly has proven herself as a talented singer and actress.

I was a 14 year old Dutch boy in 1979 and watched this on tv. I had no idea that as from 16, I would become a woman, living like a diva. Still enjoying Midler, Streisand, Minnelli, Bassey, and Ross at 55.

This was fabulous ❤. I can’t remember what year I saw her at Caesars Palace, but it was the best thing I ever did as a young woman. I also saw Marvin Gaye here in Houston in one of his last concerts. Those were the best days of my life. You didn’t have to worry about getting shot or hurt if you were alone. The world has changed because of the people in it now. How sad.

Best opening in show business ever.

Please let's not forget the backing singers.....totally on point ❤

Biggest diva in the history

This is Talent!!! And all she took off was her coat. Wow no wonder Barry Gordy went ALL out for her. She is amazing!!

I got to dance with Diana on the stage with 10 other people who were plucked from the audience of the Oakdale Theater in Wallingford, Connecticut, circa 1980. I think it was when she sang “Upside Down”. Afterward, we all lined up to kiss her cheek before going back to our seats. I could tell that she really didn’t want to be touched and was gritting her teeth, but she never once stopped smiling. What a show she put on. Diana was the consummate performer.

I was at this concert, it was one of the most exciting evenings of my life. It coincided with the Independence celebrations for Mexico and Central America, as the audience stepped out of Caesar's Palace we were treated to a sky filled with fireworks. As if in celebration of this spectacular concert.

I NEVER SEEN CLEOPATRA BUT DIANA ROSS IS THE CLOSES THING TO HER THE AUDIENCE DIDN'T WANT THE SHOW TO END AND I DIDN'T EITHER GOD BLESS DIANA ROSS ♥️💗💙❤️🙏

A great performance. A lesson in history. 20years of being on stage. 60 years as of today. A lifetime.

she communicate with the audience like they are in her home. i

There is something so beautiful in Diana's soul that goes beyond all the petty human judgments of her mistakes, temperament and limitations. This woman was born to perform and to communicate, which is a loving gift she has given generously for decades now. She has shown by example the virtues of hard work, vital energy, perseverance, setting goals & creating dreams; beautiful values & personal transformation. Let's honor Diana Ross and hold her up to the Light with LOVE ***

Diana's the BOSS 💖 No question! She was the "Beyonce" of that era... Mega Star Quality ✨⭐✨ Saw her live in 1982. An epic live performer- she had the stadium wrapped around her finger

And this is why they call Miss Ross “the boss!“ She’s at her vocal best, she’s charming and funny and knows how to put on a real show… I’m so glad this popped up into my RU-vid feed! What an amazing show!

That opener was bomb!!!! Love her!

There NO ONE like her!!!!!

Nobody can give a concert like this one. Still today. Nobody can deliver the love she does. And when she goes in the audience singing the whole place sings with her. Just like Central Park. All those people with the rain she kept all those people calm. People say shit about her because they are jealous. This woman at 78 can still sing. And still packs the concerts

I was 12 years old when I watched this concert on either “Hollywood Home Theatre “ or “HBO”. I’m 53 years old now and I still love watching it. Diana Ross is still one of my favorite R&B artists.

Still in 2023 one of the best concerts EVER!

Got the sweetest Ross hangover I don’t want to get over. Don’t you dare call the doctor mama or preacher Gimme All of Dr. Diana she can cure me. Diana Ross high

THE QUEEN. THE BEST PERFOMANCE SHE EVER DID. I CAN WATCH THIS OVER AND OVER. LOVE DIANA ROSS.

Best concert ever🥰

I first saw this concert televised in Australia one Saturday night in 1984 as a "For One Night Only" TV special when I was 10 years old. Who could ever forget that wonderful opening with the screens of Diana and her entrance. Now watching it 35 years later I see a legend performing at her peak. The show is wonderful and her performance is magical. Truly one of the great concerts.

She was the lady in his life.... Understandable. Wonderful!

Such a classy, glamorous, and timeless performance by the boss. Sad that we don’t have many musicians like this anymore.

How can't you love this wonderful woman.

There is something so uniquely fascinating about her as a performer. She is not the greatest singer or dancer of all time, not even the greatest songwriter. But her stage presence and sheer star power SOAR above anyone else maybe ever in history. It’s like she doesn’t even have to try. She is magic.

She wasn't the best singer of her generation, but she is a GREAT entertainer. Watching her live was always the best time.

I truly believe, That this is her best concert and vocals also adding central park! THE BOSS!

she was SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL

Watched this again! Must be 100th time, nobody can compare to Diana live ❤️❤️

Diana at her peak, promoting her best studio alum, The Boss. This tour (Tour'79/The Boss) was her only tour not to feature a medley of Supreme's Hits (save for Baby Love), and that was a good thing, let Diana focus on her solo work.

I’ve watched this a million times. Ahead of her time!

I’m seeing her in 9 days. I was a teenager when lady sings the blues came out. Fell in love with her then. She was robbed from that Oscar.

I love the way she’s singing higher & stronger!

Who’s still watching her in 2020? I love me some Diana Ross! Such a classy lady! She showed us her talent and she did it with grace and integrity! She didn’t dress like a slut and still sole millions of albums! The music industry needs to go back to the basic
