Diana Ross

So many artists haven't made the leap to HD. It's a shame that videos are almost neglected now. You have to appreciate when Wham's Last Christmas or Roxette's Joyride gets the 4K treatment. Seems to be the exception now.

And so many of Diana's performances, like her 1979 Caesar's Palace show, could use some cleaning up. The DVD of the Central Park concert was nice.

There were talks of remastered/expanded reissues of her 1989-1999 Motown albums a couple of years ago, when Diana was originally doing Glastonbury. Also two UK documentaries had supposedly been produced but put on hold when Glastonbury was cancelled. I wonder if any of those will see the light of day.

Then there is also the orchestral CD coming later this year, looking forward to that.

Has there been any interesting merchandise at the concerts? A new tour program for example?

I cannot wait to see this legend on Thursday. Can I ask though, what time does she come onto stage?

The rail strike has thrown my initial plans into the air and I’m dreading the commute from work to the O2, and don’t darent miss a moment of Ms Ross.

Interesting that she’s barely playing anything from the new album and hasn’t done “Turn Up The Sunshine” given how much it’s been on rotation on radio 2

Her tour was originally centred around her Glastonbury appearance which would have been the classics. Although obviously she recorded new music in-between she could I guess have to chosen to perform more new stuff but in theory do a longer set (which I guess wasn't likely) or drop some hits (again a no no). So I guess doing one song was a way of highlighting she had a new album without sacrificing the standards.

I'm currently listening to this:

Gets a bit of a bad rep, but this is probably one of her stronger 80s albums in my view, Chain Reaction is of course a stone cold classic and probably the sole reason the album itself made it to #11 back in the UK. Follow up single, Experience is rather lovely and a totally Bee Gees Production. And lead single in the form of the title track, is just a BOP and one of her most bonkers songs of all time. Shame it flopped most places. Other good songs here are Oh Teacher, Love On The Line and (I love) Being In Love With You. Crimes Of Passion, also should have been single 4 however, and more than likely could have given Diana an UK top 20 hit at the very least. A more suitable follow up to Chain Reaction than Experience despite how nice that song is.

I love Eaten Alive (the song) so much! Had I been down the front for the request part of the show I'd have asked for that, which no doubt she would have quickly glossed over! Odd it flopped so hard in the UK and US when it's such a great song with very prominent backing vocals from Michael Jackson.

A winning combination all round on paper, and sounds it too if not alas in the charts.
