Diana Ross At The Royal Albert Hall 1973 (Full Concert) 

Absolutely!!!!!! One Classy Broad all on her own!!!!! The classic DIVA of all time!!!!!!

The answer is YES! I have seen Diana Ross in concert THREE times and she has blown me away every time...especially when she performs in a venue that is "In-The-Round." She sings her way through her audience with so much grace and ease that they just melt when she is near. Much was made when she was with The Supremes that hers was not the voice that should have been the lead...but Berry Gordy knew what he had in Diana Ross and he made certain the world saw it all. That degree of talent is rare but back in the day, all a great vocalist ever needed was an orchestra (or a band) and a microphone. The "artists" of today haven't a clue how to mesmerize an audience of thousands with just their voices and stage presence. Every performance they give is like a circus act at the half-time show on Superbowl Sunday and it's not at all pleasurable. Rather, it's a circus act I can do without. So many today rely on visual and musical trickery to get their acts across. Without "Auto-Tune" most of them would never make it in concert.

It's SADD the masses equate singing to screaming, sadly that will never be the case; enter Diana Ross "The Boss".

5 years on…. the chance to see her again at the Royal Albert Hall was special

I was thinking the same thing🏳️‍🌈

OMG! You were there? I wish I could have seen Diana Ross during this time in her career. I got to see in 1985 and then in 1991. I wish I could have seen the Supremes as well. I was born too late and I wasn't at the right place at the right time.

Awesome! Cheers

Wow and that was a pretty penny back then. Chis Chisholm

Chis Chisholm Hi there: I was born in Norfolk, now living in Canada but I visit yearly. So Hi there Michael.

You lucky boy! I’m a year younger than you. I love Diana Ross

I love her very nice 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂😍 from the Philippines

look for the one i think in Paris where some whacko merely strangled diana she pulled back in horor.

I have both shows on DVD and love them. I feel Diana is even more glamorous here in 1973 than in 1979 Las Vegas. The Las Vegas show is fancier though

@@Sully44JJ Hi - this is a great recording and thanks for the link - but I would SO love to see the concert with The Point segment and the full Motown section.... but then I am greedy. LOL

this show was not filmed, nor the l.a concert

Karim Bennett That part of the musical was false. Diana loved Reach Out and Touch, Berry hated it. Berry also didn't like Ain't Mountain High Enough. He thought the spoken passages should go at the end.

Moutton Noir , When she was with The Supremes they always sang a lot of Broadway tunes, so I'm not sure what the surprise is.

Of course Blog, your right- it was THE thing back in the day, tastes and attitudes changed around the mid 70s when it came to live shows by pop/rock acts- it was no longer cool to do these showtunes in concert as it became cheesy.

Moutton Noir hello. It was shown on the BBC in U.K. I remember watching it in wonder .....three years before I got to see her live in London at the New Victoria

Thanks John. I missed this concert as I was 12 at the time and only got into Diana seriously in 74. My parents hated her so they wouldn't have watched this on TV

@@knockshinnoch1950Don't know about that. An Evening With, 1977--definitely mid 70s and arguably late 70s--was still using Lady is a Tramp and was incorporating two new musicals, The Wiz and A chorus Line, as major components of the show. Still later, her 1979 show has "I Wanna Be Bad," ostensibly a one off but still Broadway in sound, and the full use of "The Wiz." Central Park in 1983 had elements of "Dreamgirls." Think it's done there? Check out Oprah in 1999 when she skillfully sang "He Lives in You" from "The Lion King" and 2006 when she sang "What About Love" from "The Color Purple." Diana has never really abandoned stage music. She's part of the American stage tradition even though he has never starred in a Broadway musical. She has a Tony and she's broadly known for her live stage presence.

When Guinness declares you the most successful female artist in history, this is why... 😂
