  • 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.
    Barry

    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

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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

    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......Weekend in New England is a kind of strange title for the song, but when you start singing it, that just melts everything away. We just concentrate on the video, the lyrics and the way you sing it like it may be your favorite. Just love this one that is often on the top of my playlist. Love you forever and a day............................................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. 😊

    Barry.....I love to watch you play the piano. I often wonder how you not only remember all the words to all the songs and all the note you need to play on that fantastic piano. You have a super brain, memory and you don't do anything unless you know the song and performance is perfect. Love your blue eyes. Take care Barry.........I will love you always................Betsy Basile

    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.!!!❤❤❤

    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.

    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 RUclips 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! ruclips.net/video/3bwF0O4L5rA/видео.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.
