Passionate but always personable, Barry Manilow celebrates his 100th performance at the Las Vegas Hilton with a stylish, witty show originally taped in December 2005 for a PBS special. Happy to be taking up residence in the same Hilton theatre where Frank Sinatra, Jerry Lewis, and Elvis Presley all played, Manilow spreads his joy with a wildly enthusiastic audience. Beginning with his opening number, "It's a Miracle," Manilow spends most of the evening on his feet and close to the crowd, seldom sitting behind his piano except to wrap fans in the comfort of dreamy, hook-filled ballads. His take on the pretty "Daybreak" highlights the song's lushness and positive outlook, while "Somewhere Down the Road" comes across as a mature plaint about love and loss. A mini-tribute to hit songs of the 1950s proves hugely entertaining, starting with the American Bandstand theme (indeed, there are lyrics), featuring Manilow's backup singers as typically star-struck teens. The '50s suite includes Manilow's version of pop standards "Venus," "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing," and "Unchained Melody," all of which evoke a warm nostalgia. Going autobiographical, Manilow sings several songs ("Do You Know Who's Living Next Door?") from his Here at the Mayflower album, reflections on a unique childhood in a Brooklyn apartment building. Manilow pays homage to Elvis in a stirring reading of the King's "If I Can Dream," reminisces about bygone days of being an opening act for the likes of Helen Reddy, and brings the show to a close with a tuneful "I Write the Songs" and high-octane "Copacabana." A second disc contains a number of special features, including Manilow explaining his reasons for giving up the road to play exclusively at the Hilton. A "making-of" featurette about the PBS program is followed by three songs that didn't make it into the concert disc, plus a music video for "Unchained Melody" and photo gallery. --Tom Keogh

Even before he steps out onto the stage, the audience is on its feet clapping and screaming for Barry Manilow. Walking out and launching into "Could It Be Magic?" Manilow proves his pipes are as strong and clear as ever and his suits still dapper. He promises "beautiful melodies, passionate lyrics, great grooves, and maybe even some swiveling hips" to the delight of the sold-out house. The video was filmed in Nashville in February 2000 and includes half an hour of footage not included in the direct TV broadcast.

A consummate showman, Manilow performs 24 of his biggest hits accompanied by full orchestra. "Tryin' to Get the Feeling Again" speaks to everyone whose heart has been broken but holds out for love. During "Can't Smile Without You," the audience holds up signs bearing smiley faces, hearts, and "ME" in hopes that Manilow will pick them for his traditional duet. "Bandstand Boogie," the long-time theme song for American Bandstand, rocks the house. Then Manilow brings it down for perennial favorite, "Mandy," which segues into "Even Now."

Manilow's timing is impeccable, and he knows exactly how to work the adoring crowd. The accordion interlude is particularly amusing, as is "Flight of the Bumblebee" played on a kazoo. Mixing pop, jazz, disco, and big band, Manilow moves smoothly through the two-hour set, alternately sitting at the piano or standing at the mike. The bluesy "That's Life" gets an infusion of energy from audience participation, and "Copacabana" is just as infectious as ever (with Manilow doing a little of that hip-swiveling). Ending with a heartfelt encore of "Stars in the Night," Manilow Live! is a must-have for fans of the man. --Dana Van Nest
