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
