WOW!! The Barry Manilow concert was absolutely AMAZING! My sister introduced me to his music back in the mid seventies when I was about 4 or 5 years old. I have been a huge fan ever since but have never had the opportunity to see him perform live until now. He truly is an exceptional singer and a consummate entertainer. I was amazed by his powerful and stirring voice. The only thing I was disappointed about ( other than the fact that the show didn't last all night) was that he did not grace us with his kazoo playing abilities! I saw him play "Flight of the Bumblebee" on a video of a show from Nashville and would have loved to see this! I cannot wait to see Barry again!

The concert was great, with a good opening act as well. The only problem was that it was over way too soon. Barry was on stage for at most an hour and a half.

This by far was the most unbelievable show I've been to in awhile. Barry still knows how to put on an awesome show. I would highly recommend seeing him in the future. Alot of the newer bands need to learn from Barry how to be showmen. I left in the best mood I've been in awhile.

Barry Manilow did a great job performing his music, but I believe his show lacked entertainment value. The Hollywood Bowl is obviously an outstanding venue; however, the audience needed loosening up. Perhaps the sound system didn't touch/reach those in the bench seats. Although Barry Manilow sang beautifully, I was sadly disappointed with the entire experience.

Barry Manilow was AMAZING, but the sound at the Hollywood Bowl was very disappointing. It was way off! Not sure I would try the HB again or not. I paid over $100 for my ticket and the sound sure didn't measure up to it.

Although our seats were far away, and Barry sounded a little tired, he was the absolute fabulous entertainer he always is. This was the first time I have heard him sing, "I am your child" at a show, it brought tears to my daughters eyes. I took one of my granddaughters also. She is alway a singer and does performances, she is 12. It was her first time seeing Barry and she wants to see him again. I just learned that he is going to the Paris in Las Vegas so that will become a reality for her. Thanks again Barry!!!

My wife & I had always wanted to watch Barry at the Hilton in Las Vegas but never got the chance, so when we found out he was playing at the Hollywood Bowl, we bought tickets right away. That was a great performance by Barry. One of the best concerts we had ever watched in our lifetime!

Besides being an amazing pianist, having countless hits and an endless source of creativity, Barry is a wonderful entertainer! He came onstage & the night at the Hollywood Bowl just lit up with the synergy he created. His medleys smoothly took us through the many years of hits and they just kept on coming and coming...
After 2 encores, he finally left us - satiated, yet simultaneously wanting more...til next time, Barry...

This was my first event at the hollywood bowl. It was also the first time Barry Mannilow played it. I have seen him before at other venues and this was a show to end all others. He was amazing. The size of the venue worried me, however, I felt just as involved and moved as ever. He is an amazing showman.

After seeing Mr. Manilow many times over the past couple decades I was looking forward to the Bowl show with full orchestra. He did not disapoint but also did not pull out any surprises. No real new arrangements, songs or surprises...just thesame old song and dance. For the new or recent fan who may have never seen him before this may have been the best thing they ever seen but it was just another show. He is a true star but I expected more.

Favorite moment: "When October Goes"; Dave Koz and "Brooklyn Blues"; the pianists chasing one another during one big number; tough to narrow it down. @
Opening act(s): Straight No Chaser -- a group of ten male a capella singers who, with nothing but their voices sound like a boy band with a full orchestra backing them up. Amazing and delightful -- after the show, I even bought their CD. @

For a Barry Manilow fan, his performance Saturday night was not to be missed--his first performance ever at the Hollywood Bowl. Backed by the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, Barry sounded great. He was in fine voice.
The show was called "Ultimate Manilow: The Hits ... and Then Some," and he did indeed include most of his hits in the show. The man had too many of them to include them all. But he hit the high points: "Could It Be Magic?," "Mandy," "I Write the Songs," "Even Now," "Somewhere in the Night," "Copacabana."
He also included a couple of his more obscure numbers that are adored by the Fanilow: the calendar-appropriate "When October Goes," with lyrics by Johnny Mercer, included because this year we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Mercer's birth (and Mercer's widow asked Manilow to set the lyrics, found posthumously, to music) and the anthem "Forever and a Day," sung as an encore and not to a lover but to the audience, giving it a significantly different and hugely impactful meaning.
Surprise highlight: the appearance of Dave Koz and his saxophone, emerging from the audience to accompany Barry on "Brooklyn Blues." Totally unexpected and delightful.
The weather was perfect and, as always, so was the convivial atmosphere at the Bowl. There's nothing like sharing a great evening of music with 16,000 other Fanilows.

I went with my husband,17 year old daughter, my mother, and myself. He sang all of our favorites and more! The sound at the Hollywood Bowl, combined with the orchestra, combined to make it stellar!The end when the streamers and confetti came out made my mom's eyes shine! I was in heaven when he sang some of the old songs like When October comes and one voice! I don't think I will ever get tired of seeing Barry perform live. God willing, I will see him again with my mother...that'll make four times!!

Barry Manilow's performance was great. Very nostalgic concert for me and enjoyed his music and performance. You can't really go wrong with the venue; we love the Hollywood Bowl. What was disappointing was the audience participation and energy level.... felt like we were at church.
