A note from Barry about that show...
Live In Japan 1985
Osaka-jo Hall
Osaka City, Japan
June 6th, 1985
We were in Japan when we first saw this video. We were near the end of our Japanese tour when someone brought the DVD into my dressing room and we started to watch it.
It was the first time we’d ever seen and heard audio and video of that quality. We all flipped out.
It’s been a long time since I watched this one and the quality is just as terrific as I remembered it.
The Japanese audiences were wonderful. I had written cue cards with my introductions written out in phonetic Japanese. I loved these people so much, I wanted to be able to talk with them, so I butchered their language, but I think they understood what I was trying to say. I hope so.
At the end of the show, I sang “Sakura, Sakura” a very famous folk song about the cherry blossoms. I substituted my own chord changes for the original and ended it more like an American pop song. I think they liked it. I LOVED doing it.
Oh, I loved this tour. Japan is such an interesting country. So far away from everything I knew. These people were so kind to us. So encouraging to us. I felt an immediate kinship to them.
This show reminds me of a wonderful time in my life. I hope you can feel it.
-Barry
LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair
And a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star
Tony always tended bar
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Across the crowded floor
They worked from eight 'til four
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
[Chorus]
At the Copa, Copacabana (Copa, Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (Here)
At the Copa, Copacabana (Copacabana)
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa, they fell in love
(Copa, Copacabana)
[Verse 2]
His name was Rico, he wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair
He saw Lola dancing there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit too far
Tony sailed across the bar
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And then the punches flew
And chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gunshot
But just who shot who?
[Chorus]
At the Copa, Copacabana (Copa, Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (Here)
At the Copa, Copacabana (Copacabana)
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa, she lost her love
(Copa, Copacabana)
[Bridge]
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
(Music and passion)
(Always in fashion)
[Verse 3]
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was thirty years ago
When they used to have a show
Now it's a disco, but not for Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear
Faded feathers in her hair
[Pre-Chorus 3]
She sits there so refined
And drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she's lost her mind
[Chorus]
At the Copa, Copacabana (Copa, Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (Here)
At the Copa, Copacabana (Copacabana)
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa, don't fall in love
(Copa, Copacabana) Don't fall in love
(Copacabana, Copacabana)
[Outro]
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copacabana, Copacabana)...

*I feel lucky that I got to see him sing this song in person 4 times with a band and a band with orchestra*
Damn your lucky if you saw him in person performing
How luck you are!!!!!
I like the arrangement here. The backing music is really clear & pure.
Yeah totally
This is what I love about 80's songs.
this arrangement is SICK,
although@@shauntitus1723it's probably not so much because it's in the 80s.
this arrangement is really tailored towards a japanese audience - it's more jazzrock than pop, a pretty big genre in japan.
so if you dig this, I'd listen to some more japanese 70s/80s jazz. casiopea is a great place to start.
that particular show was in a collaboration with Japanese musicians as well😊, they are all about perfection🤙🏻🇩🇪❤️🇯🇵 (i have that show on vinyl❤️)
A true Master showman the best ever!
This fantastic man has been doing it so long for so good and it's unbelievable that his career hasn't sold more than 85 million copies he is a master showman he's a master musician he is just totally unbelievable to me
I was there！I have been with your songs over 40 years.Thank you Barry!
You're so lucky!!
まさしく世界が誇るスーパースターですね！

WOW !! I haven't found this one for quite a while. This version is very good and I love the black trench coat, Barry. The original is still the best and will always be, but you have a way of switching things a little to make us still so interested. Great Version............................................Love you since 1974............The Dancing Queen BA 1965

Poor Lola
Озорник Барри!
Copa. Cabana era um clube que tinha em Havana antes da revolução cubana ....o presidente cubano era fugencio batista.fidel castro acabou com tudo deichando o país atrasado em 80.anos....
Im here from coach interview xddd
*.
Em chile you are
Welcome
I prefer the original Disco arrangement. This sounds like what they did to Irene Cara's What A Feeling during a live awards show - make it a Rock beat to appease the great unwashed that later in life became Trump voters.
Is Barry Manilow still alive, & if he is, how old is he? Is he married & does he have any kids?
Ermm...lol
