@dontesmith1996 July 22! That's a good birthday! Lol Glad we both have Luther appreciation! We are 2 different generations but glad to Vandross is celebrated by both!
I was there the night this was filmed. Luther Vandross live at Wembley Arena 1987 - I think he did four or five nights there and he packed the place. Earlier that year (February, I think), before these Wembley dates, Luther had done a week at the (fka) Hammersmith Odeon - the tickets for those gigs sold out in minutes. So everyone was relieved when he booked Wembley for later that year. This was the time frame when Luther went from having a niche audience to international soul superstar. As a lifelong admirer of Luther, I'm so grateful that me and my friends saw this Wembley concert, which is on RUclips in its entirety. Luther... the greatest male vocalist of all time, plus a truly gifted songwriter and producer. Icon of soul music...
@PrinceFluffy You were so blessed to get tickets to one of Luther's Hammersmith Odeon shows, which have gone down in soul music history as legendary. One of those nights was broadcast by one of the London radio stations, and it sounded like an electrifying show. I wonder if you could please share your memories of the night you saw him at Hammersmith Odeon? Many thanks, and I hope I'm not imposing...
@@mikecdiaz That Hammersmith odeon gig was unbelievable! I have recorded on a cd from the radio broadcast and the version of ‘A house is not a home’ is the best one I ever heard. At the beginning he add libs ‘Fly me to moon and let me play among the stars, let me see what life is like on Jupiter and Mars’ from the frank sinatra song which adds to the layers of the track. You can hear the crowd are frenzied and cannot contain themselves. He also sings ‘See me’ which I’ve never heard live before other than this Hammersmith concert. I don’t understand why they don’t release more live concerts by Luther. Even the Wembley gig that was shown on the BBC should be remastered and released, I’d be more than happy to pay for a copy.
@djlevi1 Yep - that "fly me to the moon" adlib during the intro to House Is Not A Home is just breathtakingly emotional - I was listening to the live radio broadcast (whilst recording it to cassette) and I gasped. You could hear a pin drop - the crowd was silent in pure reverence at certain key moments on all the ballads. His performance of Superstar that night also has some incredibly emotional peaks. If you search, you'll find each one of the Hammersmith Odeon live tracks on RUclips as separate tracks. Hit me up if you want the links. I'm hoping they're still on here. Many thanks for your reply - it's always great to talk about Luther :-)
1 of a kind/ unique has his picture next to definition in my mind. It's to often artist such as he never know the magnitude of love fans has or had. I love Luther VanDross from Eternity to Infiniti ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thrue .dat
We share the same birthday date...I've loved Luther Always &Forever!!!
@dontesmith I was born July 22, 1969😊
It's not a big deal that young people like older acts. Music is music.
I called his back-up singers, "Song birds." He is truly missed!
I miss Luther so much. He was my favorite singer ever, and always will be ❤
Mine too😊
The guy was gorgeous, I wish I was one of the backing singers.😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
❤🙏🏾❤️
There will never be a great singer like Luther. You are truly missed.
True his live singing was 🔥

Luther was my all time favorite artist. Thank you for showing this concert footage. One of the best! Luther, you are missed.❤❤
Those Background Singers !!!
Yes they are some of the best❤
His background singers (incl. Lisa Fischer) were some of the baddest and best to ever do it!!! They complimented Luther perfectly!
That makes sense!
Yes indeed and the ones off stage were fire! Oh to hear them one more time with Luther...
Yes they did
I love Lisa Fischer. Luther was that dude. I loved and still love his music
i thought that was mikki howard but then realized mikki wouldve been a teen back then
Exudes nothing but class in every way. A consummate professional.
Lisa, Kevin and Alfa? on stage. LUTHER we miss you!!!

I’m a huge Luther fan! The first live concert that I ever attended was a Luther Vandross concert 🎶 floor seat (I was so excited 1987)
Luther was the ultimate entertainer, not only could he write and sing, but his shows were spectacular. I was fortunate to she him perform live 3 times
I was 12 days old on the day of this concert,,love this song!!!
I'm 1980 and I remember this video I remember these days and they were the good ones
I sure miss Luther.... An amazing voice and artist. So glad I saw him in several concerts.
Thank you for restoring this which such clarity on screen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Danke für dieses Video! Der WAHRE, der EINZIGE!❤ Und die großartige Lisa Fischer!
Yes he will be missed he is a great singer rest in peace Luther. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love Alfa Anderson, formerly of Chic. She is giving in those bugle beads!
