- Barry Manilow performs "Weekend In New England" live, taken from the 1982 Showtime Special
For me, it was an exciting experience in all ways. This was my first “In the Round” concert tour. We were sold out with the most amazing crowd and I remember running from the exit to the stairs that would lead me up to the stage.
I tore down the runway to the stage with loads of people on either side of the aisle. Everyone yelling, cheering, smiling with security guards trying to keep the crowd back as I dashed up on to the stage.
Thrilling. Just thrilling.
Thanks to all of you for continuing to make such wonderful memories for me.

LYRICS:
Last night I waved goodbye
Now it seems years
I'm back in the city where nothing is clear
But thoughts of me holding you
Bringing us near
And tell me
When will our eyes meet?
When can I touch you?
When will this strong yearning end?
And when will I hold you again?
Time in New England took me away
To long rocky beaches
And you by the bay
We started a story whose end must now wait
And tell me
When will our eyes meet?
When can I touch you?
When will this strong yearning end?
And when will I hold you again?
I feel the change coming
I feel the wind blow
I feel brave and daring
I feel my blood flow
With you
I could bring out all the love that I had
With you
There's a heaven so earth ain't so bad
And tell me
When will our eyes meet?
When can I touch you?
When will this strong yearning end?
And when will I hold you again?
Again

You know what is weird. No one has come along that sounds remotely close to this voice. It is really quite unique. It has this golden tone to it that I really have never heard before.
I always say this too..nobody remakes his songs..nobody could sing them anyways
I am nearest I am from Edinburgh I sang his songs since 12 years old to get away from my alcoholic father ,I am you tube b Mitchell Mandy could it be magic am bm aswell
I was reading about him and the word is he never planned to be a singer so he really has to force himself to be that good..however his piano genius is much much easier for him. He puts on great shoes I've seen him twice so far in 83 with my mom and 84 I took my dad these were. Both were Christmas shows.
Why is that weird? Everyone is unique. However, he's a Living Legend with a unique voice that many of us have enjoyed and continue to enjoy.
@@terryjohnson5305 take that with a pinch of salt. It's common for particularly good singers to say the old line 'I never wanted to be a singer'. I believe it's called humble bragging.
Love his music. Brings back memories of growing up. I’m 54 now and at 12 had a major crush on him lol. Wish I could meet him.
Wow! Barry Manilow in the late 70's early 80's, nothing else comes close.
Steve Perry,bobby hatfield,karen carpenter, Barbara Streisand, Mary fahl. there are a few. Barry had a golden voice for sure, but lets not lose sight of reality.
its sorta subjective.@@randolphkersey5155
So true. So much great music, singers and composers including Manilow. @@randolphkersey5155
@@randolphkersey5155He meant he had his own style. Maybe you should stop trying to find an argument in everything. Just keeping it real.
He’s so handsome! I have the best memories of him. I cry whenever I hear this song.
13, laying in my bed listening only to Barry, now 60 still listening 💖💖💖
He’s great
65
Me too
He was my idol at 16 also . Always listened to this beautiful voice.!!! Absolutely my favorite musician.!!!❤
I passed my driving test aged 17 Used to drive around with Barry on and dream about my future love life
Now divorced with one son I rarely see, I often long for those simpler times
I remember riding in the car with my mom and dad as a kid. They had it on an AM station and this came on. From the first note to the last note I was intrigued. It also made me tear up when it was on the chorus part. I miss those days of radio and car rides with my parents. I love you Barry
WOW!! Totally beautiful. Thank you, Barry, for bringing so much joy & beauty to people’s hearts through the years.
I just ordered two tickets to see him in Cincinnati. I’m 62 and have loved him since the 70s❤
This song and video may be one of his very best performances. As always, he hits all the notes perfectly, and his tone is so beautiful! He's legendary 🙌 so glad I grew up in the 70's... I'm a true and forever fan 👏 ❤
that’s a god dam mutilated woman
@@beanerschnitzel794are you sure you know what you are talking about?
Me too, forever a Barry fan. This brings back soooo many memories of Summer 1982
My favorite of all his songs(sorry😊).
My favorite part, is his voice with a resonating reverberation, right before the high-point ending…
Brings back the summer of 1981
Barry, still going strong after several decades of showmanship and superb musical talent. What a gift to the world!
Barry's music became wildly popular after I got out of college in 1977. I've always loved his heartfelt songs and his singing ability. My wife and I saw him in concert in Atlanta over 10 years ago and he was awesome in person. This was always one of my favorite tunes of his.
The fact that this is LIVE, makes it even more impressive. Might be my favorite version.
YES! No autotune.
I agree! What a beautiful voice-so much emotion! ❤
I come back to this every few months or so to remind myself what real musical talent is like.
I unwillingly learned the lyrics of every Mannilow song during the 80s and 90s thanks to my mom always having a record of his spinning or a tape of his concerts. I even went with her to a few concerts which I never regrette. She passed away in 2015 and i know this song is about lovers but id like to know when ill get to hold my momma again. ❤ love you forever ❤️
This is my very favorite Barry Manilow song. My little sister, Marci, got me hooked on you when I was in High School, 1976. I told her about your concert special and channel. She was singing your songs from the concert this morning at 2 am. Her husband and roommates were not pleased 😆. My sister had a stroke 1 year ago this past October. I told her to get her old albums (yes vinyl) and play them and sing to help her mind and body recover from her stroke.
Keri Gridley how is your sister? I am a stroke survivor myself,I hope she is doing better! It is a struggle,but don't give up!
@@patriciawalsh6733 she is getting a little better. She is still paralyzed on her right side, thank goodness she is left handed. She will never be able to see out of her right eye because of damage to her optic nerve. She is thinking positive and pushes herself every day. I am proud of her. We have a much better relationship now and I am thankful for that.
Hope your sister gets better.
The music has the most power in the world. I feel really happy for your story. It finishes in a happy way however the stroke.
My best wishes from Spain !!
Sending Prayers and Hugs to You and your Sister...xoxo ❤️🙏🏼
He captures how your heart yearns for someone you love and miss….you are loving someone so much your stomach turns when you are away from them.
👔The Feeling lasts forever🥁 ❤️
@@cryptosherpa2022 it does.
Perfectly said ❤😓😔
For those who experience love and longing, this song is amazing !
Love Barry Manilow!! This is my favorite Barry Manilow song!! I love it! I have been a fan since 1973. Barry is one of the best singers ever!! God bless, Barry!! xoxo
No one sings a ballad like Barry Manilow.❤❤❤❤❤
After all these years,..I still love your music. Forever~
Never gets old!
Oh the emotion Barry is able to infuse into a song is so special even today its the same and the crowd goes wild when he say when will I touch you wow wow wow.
I really wanted to marry him when I was 12. At 57 I can still see and feel why. I sure would have loved having access to these videos then.
Saw him live in Vegas, the man was born to Star there
On the "when will I touch you" the ladies out front rushed the stage
I’m 20 and I love him with all of my heart!!!! He’s my favorite 😭❤️
@@danaheffernan1826 I turned 60 this year. I fell in love for the first time at the age of 17. I had Barry's greatest hits on 8 track tape in my truck and his music was mine and my girlfriends favorite music. Barry's music is what we fell in love to. After school each day she would call me and ask if I was coming over that day. If I was to please bring Barry with me😂.
I’ve been a Fanilow since my then-15-year-old sister dragged me to one of his 1978 concerts at the Greek Theater in LA. I could drive, so my sister paid for my ticket. Barry sold out 15 concerts in that run at a theater that holds 4,500. I liked what I saw & heard so much that I dragged my sister to his concert the following night and we sat in the trees surrounding that outdoor venue. Barry is a national treasure and I am awed by his talent every time I hear him.
Barry always gives a song everything he has!! His songs evoke feelings of love in people. He is truly gifted in playing the piano and singing. He worked extremely hard to get where he is today and is still working hard at 80 years old!! This is such a beautiful song. There will probably never be another great talent like Barry Manilow.!!!❤❤❤
Wow. Memories. This song was popular at the time I was going through a heartbreaking separation from my husband. I love this man's songs and music, but this one is too hard to listen to. Yes...memories can be bittersweet. Mr. Manilow, if you are reading this, thank you for all the beautiful music you shared with the world. You are paramount in the music world :)
This is Barry's best rendition of Weekend In New England. He still brings me to tears. Cindy Slane
No way Greek theatre weekend in New England beats that
Having followed his career for 47 years, I agree. He just gives it 100% effort.
@@bmitchell928 I completely agree. "One more time..."
The touring he did back then was insane. I can't imagine the kind of stress that must be for anyone.
Barry Manilow was the musical background to my childhood! Now I have introduced him to my kids!
What I appreciate about Barry Manilow is the fact he sings with such power, and in tune!! No auto tune here! He's truly a master musician.
Barry helped me thru my teenage years! I have seen him twice, in concert. Those concerts were more exciting than any other! ❤
My favourite Barry song!! I love the emotion he brings to every song he sings! I finally got to see him a couple of months ago after a 45 year wait! A Mother’s Day present from my beautiful daughter!! He was amazing and so worth the wait! My 25 year old daughter absolutely loved it and now understands my love for Barry! What a legend! Thank you Barry xx
Talent like this comes few times in a century and still entertains every age group
That performance brought tears to my eyes. So powerful and true.
Barry at his peak. Fantastic song.
Love you Barry since 1976. I make sure my beautiful daughter knows your music. Absolutely listening to you has gotten me through a lot of sadness
So.... I was born in 1969 and grew up on Barry's music on the radio but, amazingly I never heard this song. It has become the one song and video I keep coming back too! I'm now looking for his compilation album to buy. I just love this song! Barry, you truly write the songs that make the whole world sing my friend! God Bless!
Love this song Especially the line "With you there's a heaven, so earth ain't so bad" I am 57 years old and I remember singing I Write the Songs, along with a couple of others that I can't remember, in a concert my girl scout troop put on for our mothers for Mother's Day. I have been a proud Fanilow ever since. Keep on singing Barry, and I will definitely keep listening
I have been privileged to see Barry twice in concert with my mom who grew up loving Barry. She certainly shared her love with me. I’m a New England girl and this song holds a soft spot for me always.
My mom passed away in 2014. Whenever I miss her, I'd play this song
This is the best live version of Weekend. Barry in young full voice with full emotion. All time great song.
I've been listening to Manilow since "Mandy" in 1973 and been singing along since then.
This is my all time favorite song. The passion in your voice, the words. It's all perfect. Thank you Barry. Thank you for this beautiful song but all the beautiful songs you give to us. For all these wonderful years. Your music has helped me through the worst times in my life and made the better times so much better. Thank you for just being you.
Thanks for all these wonderful memories you are sharing with us and allowing us to relive all these wonderful moments.
1977: Even now, years after she left, I still prefer the original lyric "...when will this emptiness end?"
Barry...I am so happy they have not taken this one off. I still think that maybe this is your favorite as you indicated in another video that I cannot even find anymore. You are so powerful and your voice so beautiful. Another terrific story song that you do so well. Love you so much since 1974...........................................Betsy Blue-Eyes
My nephew/Godson and I are going to see Barry at Radio City Music Hall on April 18th, 2024. We can't wait!!!
Just saw Barry a few months ago. At 80 years old he was amazing
good lord.....I can listen to this forever and never get tired of it. such power in that voice.....love it
What a gorgeous man... Great singer /song writer! Love him!❤
Doesn't matter how many times I watch this video, it just seems to get better and better. Barry, honestly, it is partly the communication you have with your fans, BUT, it really is the person that the real YOU are. You are not one of those FAKE performers, so please we love you for being you and the talent you show us every time you take the stage. Love to you for everything....................Betsy Basile
I wish it was 82. So does he.
So do I.
This is the BEST performance of his career.
There won't be another Barry. Ever.
Thanks Barry!
Barry...I still think this one may be your favorite even though you say you don't have one. You love them all, but you put so much of yourself into this version with singing and playing that wonderful piano that I love so much. Thank you Barry. I will love you forever and a day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Dancing Queen BB 1965--My nickname in my first year of college. I am only 3 years younger than you...........................Betsy
You know, I've listened to this song a lot. And what impresses me so much is hearing the subtle little changes in Barry's arranging and in the way he sings this song. I don't know if he does this as a nod to his diehard fans ... I guess that's what I want to think. At any rate, I sure appreciate it. It's been a wonderful experience to be a fan of his for these decades. Through it all, he's been dedicated, technically sound, passionate, and grateful for those who have supported him and his music. What more can you ask for?
You just don’t see performances like this anymore.
There was a live performance of this song from ‘78 at the Greek theater. It was incredible!
The camera person filmed a close up, focused on Barry face, at the build up and the climax of the song. It was amazing to watch! He gave so much to the audience during the performance! Like he was giving a piece of his soul! I was awestruck.
At the end of the song, someone in the crowd shouted, “one more time!” Barry replied, “one more time, why I oughta…” lol! I wish TH-cam hadn’t taken it down.
I looked for the video of that performance - I think this is it. He refers to ‘tree people’ at the beginning of it and that’s from the Greek theatre shows in LA. Thanks, it’s a great live performance! th-cam.com/video/3bwF0O4L5rA/w-d-xo.html
During that 1978 run at the Greek was the first time I heard Barry live. Barry sold out 15 nights during that run, which is still a record for the Greek. My 15-year-old sister made me drive her to see Barry and in return for driving her, she bought my ticket. I loved him so much that I fragged my sister back to the Greek the following night and we sat in the trees. I guaranty that we were not the only Fanilows in those trees.
The best performance that I've heard of that song.
A proper proper old school talent, great musician and absolutely fantastic voice, pitch perfect. Great songs too
Love his voice,,❤❤❤guess forever
Realizei o maior sonho da minha vida. Conheci o showmen Barry Manilow in concert Madison Square Garden( New York City). The most fantastic experience of my life. Good bless you Manilow.
I woke up with this song in my head!!! I love this song. It means a lot to me. Thank you!!!!💖💖💖💞💞🙏🙏🙏
What a beautiful beautiful song!!!It speaks to my heart and soul directly.He has such a unique voice, and he's so passionate but sweet at the same time!!!And oh wasn't he Hot!!!my goodness!!!❤
An absolute legend. So wonderful to have been blessed with his music over the years.
His tone, his pronunciation, forcing the big notes with perfect pitch, softly caressing the smaller notes with beautiful breathy notes, strings, key changes, piano… Barry knows how to tell the story. Studio Musician is one of my favorite Barry Manilow songs but this performance is stellar.
Barry Manilow is a great artist who doesn’t get the acclaim he deserves. He should be getting a Kennedy Center Honors award, as his artistry as a singer and songwriter is on par with anybody who has gotten that award.
YOUR MUSIC ::
BARRY ,..IS SO SOOTHING TO THE SOUL.. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SONGS ..🥰🥰
Possibly the best live performance by a single artist ever?
happy new year and the best wishes for 2024
Still love you Mr Manilow. 💕
Love this song and Barry Manilow!! I have been a fan since 1973. Love his voice!! He has one of the best voices ever!! xoxo
I saw him a few years ago on his final tour in Pittsburgh with Dave Koz. It was nothing short of amazing.
This song always makes me cry...my mom loved Barry and I think of her when I hear this #THANKYOUMRMANILOW
I'm right with you. The last thing I did for my Mom's was take her to see Manilow live.
miss her dearly.
Same. 12 years gone tomorrow. Came here to listen to this. 💖
I’m 18 now and my mom’s in her 50s, we will forever love Barry ❤ and it’ll always be something to hold us together
Barry has always kicked serious ass on stage !!!!!
Barry....I love the flutes in this one in the round. You are singing at your BEST and strongest. Love you and this video.............................Betsy Basile
I ❤️ this music. Barry your voice and music is eternal. I so enjoy the piano 🎹 . Your style is one that I’ve enjoyed for years. Your music speaks to my heart and soul about how I feel and felt about someone precious to me. He says what you want you want someone to say to you. He’s saying I care, I love u, I want to be with you and love you forever. 😊
I so much love the piano and also felt about someone nice to me
What a great song! What a great singer! He still performs in Las Vegas and will travel to Florida in January. I can't wait to see him again.
Mannn this was my song....and...After all of these years Barry still touches my heart ❤️
This is my favorite Barry Manilow song of all time! Amazing
Damn what a voice!
Definitely one of my favorite concerts of Barry's. It's all amazing. Love, love, love! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Agreed 👍🏻
Could you be the 1👍🏻❤️
👔Charlie B 2023 outta Dobbs Ferry N.Y ⛴️ N.Y
good morning from Vzla keep on singing
One of his best performances ever!! No one can sing like Barry Manilow! Not now, not ever. 💖💖💖
I keep going back to Barry all these years later. Just listen to his voice and control. Simply amazing.
I remember watching this for the first time back in 1982 and have been looking for the full concert ever since and can't find it anywhere!!! I'm now 57 years old
The reason I became a singer😊 absolutely flawless!
His greatest song, proving he was a seriously good song writer, not just a pop hit machine.
Weekend in New England was written by Randy Edelman.
this song gives me chicken skin…. such an absolutely beautiful voice!!!! hopefully i’ll be able to see him one day!!!!
I just finished watching his Christmas TV special that came in last night. I was hoping he would sing this song but he didn’t so I had to go to TH-cam to listen to it. This is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Me too. He tells a chapter of my young life
I sang this in the 9th grade at a spring show. Got a standing o for it. Changed my life 4ever.
Such emotion and expression in this performance! Brings me back to a time when music was really great! 🎹🎤🎧🎹
Barry....You can't beat this one. The way you sing it and play the piano and the camera work with the double image of you. I wish there were 2 Barry Manilows. It would be amazing !! The ending still makes me cry. I think this one is your favorite........................................Betsy J Basile
He is my idol. There is only one Barry Manilow. ❤️
I've been a big fan of Barry Manilow since 1976,got all his albums and went to his concert,his music is touching and inspiring.
“When will this Strong YEEEEEERNING end!!
👏 👏 👏👏👏👏
Barry.....This still is one of my all-time favorites especially with your duel image and sometimes 3 images and WOW, if we only had 3 Barry Manilow's, we would really be flipping out with your songs and performances. You must have the mind of a genius or your grandpa really helped you more than you know. Love you................Betsy Basile
I'm a hard rocker, but always loved any great talent. Barry is an amazing writer and live performer. And many of his songs truly move me.
Oh wow... Pittsburgh Civic Arena. I was there and he was Incredible! The wonderful memories.
One of my favorites of his. Mandy is my 1st & this one's so pretty
He still sounds great too. Totally underrated.
Voice and songwriter of an era. From hit songs to tv commercial jingles. A 70s and 80s legend
I grew up in MA New England and have lots of loves lost there... Thoughts me holding you makes me cry!
Barry, he put on a show! Back then and even now!
I loved his music so much that I saw him 3 times
