Diana Ross @ Royal Albert Hall - 14 October 2023
Last May, when a friend brought it to my attention that Diana Ross had announced two dates at Royal Albert Hall in October, I was very pleasantly surprised. Who would have suspected Miss Ross would chose this iconic venue again after all these years?
Having seen Harry Connick jr, Liza Minelli and Olivia Newton-John here, I was quite familiar with the layout and the views. I love the mid-stalls, and found the perfect front row seat in Block L, having a good view of the stage, while being surrounded by all other parts of the hall and the audience.
During my days in London, I had this song in my head the whole time. 'No One Gets The Prize.' For the introduction of this video, I just had to use this song.
The concert that I witnessed on Saturday October 14, was a very special one. Another friend who attended, asked me if this evening didn't remind me of that night in Ahoy back in 2004? Miss Ross said herself at one point: 'I think this is going to be a long night!' She seemed in such good spirits and wanted to give us hit after hit. It was a dream to see her perform here for over 2 hours. Radiating happiness, her voice so clear and strong. A legend completely in her element.
During the intermission, which started after the first half hour of Diana's performance, I went down to the main stalls to say hello to several familiar faces.
Shortly before the second part began, two people in their mid-thirties sitting behind me, asked if I would take their photograph. Appearing to be close friends, they asked me how often I had seen Diana Ross' shows. I told them a little anecdote about her relationship with this venue. Back in 1973, when she performed here for the first time, her eldest daughter Rhonda - a toddler at the time - was brought to the stage at the end. She was to throw flowers into the audience, and while her mother sang a closing song, Rhonda would echo some of the words.
Halfway through the second part, on the big screen, the fragment from the 1973 show with Rhonda appeared. The friends behind me tapped me on the shoulder. 'You were there!!!' they shouted. 'Well', I smiled, 'I was three years old at the time, so no, I wasn't there...' It made me laugh so much, I loved that they felt so happy for me and probably thought I was in my sixties. The sweetest people. It was quite moving when Rhonda appeared on stage and joined her mother in the duet 'Count On Me', which she had written for her mother.
On my left was a lady, who told me prior to the show, that she had two big dreams: one, to be in Royal Albert Hall someday, and two, to see her idol Diana Ross perform. She had her two big wishes granted this evening and radiated with happiness.
A truly unforgettable evening. I was lucky to see Miss Ross once more a few days later, when I went to see her in Antwerp with a dear friend. For him, it was the first time to see her. Another wonderful night.
The fragments I filmed, aren't in the clearest quality. But they absolutely capture the ambience of that night. In Antwerp, I hardly took out my phone, wanting to be as present with Diana's performance as possible.
It is a pleasure though, to be able to reminisce here on youtube with all the beautiful moments that fans captured during the various shows.

Ms Newton-John and her band gave a terrific show. Her voice crystal clear. Her presence powerful and resilient...

Whoever sing this song always makes me goostbump ❤❤
Esta canción se la he dedicado a mi último gran amor que fue Paul y que nunca olvidaré. Fue un amor fugaz pero muy intenso.
How great it is that “ Amaging Grace” is a blessing gift from God that unites the hearts of people believing in the existence of God just as“ One” forever and ever 🙏
I love Jesus Christ so much because is my Saviour and my Lord. He died for me and for you to pay our sins. Open your heart and receive Jesus Christ now. He is the King of kings. The Lord is my light and my salvation. I love my Lord ❤❤❤
This moment and Michael's Billie Jean....epic television
Just call my name I will be there! ! Ain’t no mountain I said it again! And I mean that
Amo
Voce e meu grande amor
When the real world before me seems to be covered in darkness, thanks to listening to Diana’s singing Amaging Grace inspires me to try to find even the slightest ray of light just through the dark tunnel in my heart.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I miss her so much!
Gladys is a remarkable performer. I’ve only seen her live once. It was the 2008 Divas With Heart fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall. It was a bill with Gladys, Patti, Chaka and Diana, in that order. Gladys out sang everyone that night. She was wonderful. (Patti was good; Chaka and Diana were both off that evening.) while Gladys sounds very good here, the musical arrangements are pretty bland. I think Gladys deserves better musicians.
A few years ago, when I watched concert footage of Gladys Knight's shows here on youtube, I sometimes had the same impression, that her band sounded too thin and too much synthesizer to match her voice. This was not my impression at all when I finally saw Miss Knight and her band live at the Royal Albert Hall. I can imagine my phone is not able to capture all sounds precisely as they were that evening. But I can tell you, all musicians were spot on, sounding full and in sync with the Grand Lady. It was clear they've been together for a long time, and Gladys called them 'My Family' of whom she felt very grateful and proud. And of her performing, she said 'This is My Game'. It's her thing, her passion. Since this tour is entitled as a Farewell Tour, it might very well be the last time she'll perform in this setting. I'm sure Miss Knight will be seen again at special occasions. But I think it's not her plan any longer to invest in building a new band of musicians. And in my opinion, these were all very good musicians.
@@NilesNL69 Good to hear that. I didn’t know Gladys was retiring from concertizing. Diana certainly has no plans to stop and when I saw her at NJ PAC in May she sounded incredibly refreshed. More consistently good from song to song than years.
This would be the perfect song to play at a wedding indeed the lyrics to this song are just beautiful indeed especially when its sung by. Diana Ross
Diana's voice is just like a angel from heaven ........ her beauty is like a angel from heaven 💖 respect n love to Diana Ross
What an awesomely wonderful blessing it is for us to be able to share the eternal greatness of Amazing Grace empathetically on CZcams with some of the listeners around the world.

Stupenda canzone,meravigliosa Diana Ross!❤

Ela enrolou mais do que cantou. horrível
Every time I watch this, I feel the moment, the glorious love portrayed by this singer!!!!
Diana and Lionel Richie is superb in this collaborative relationship of singing,,I love her voice so much,,💯🥰🤩😍
If new generation only knew how good and generous the world was before computers......Diana Ross gave so much at this FREE concert....in Ce tral Park....forget today's "summer stage" with it's litte patch of grass. PS. My sister traveled from upstate ny 3 hours away... & early to get into that concert. My sister was 13 yrs old an😢d went to.nyc herself. We didn't know til she returned home. Today, they ask you to go online and enter a dumb lottery to get a "ticket" and concerts are so small.
Anyone here in 2024??
A one-of-a-kind voice! Give her a great song and it's off to the heavens!
Ms Ross..... The Boss.
When I get caught up in my daily lives, I tend to forget the important crystal in my heart “ I'm kept alive and loved by God ”, however just listening to Diana’s singing Amazing Grace leads me to remember that.
Jr should have sang to his enemies before he screwed them over on Dallas
Who listen to it in 2024?

Diana Ross, who is singing Amazing Grace, is a living copy of the Virgin Mary.
Happy 80th. Birthday!! Thank you for a life full of glorious singing. I'm sure God is smiling down on you for the gift he has givin you. You caused the entire world to sing and dance.
I feel like my soul is being really consoled just on listening to Diana’s singing Amazing Grace 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗🙏 Great thanks be to Diana.

Saw her that night, simply amazing. I do wish RAH had a big screen.
Amazing Grace could become an invisible bridge that connects between us and God as we communicate with God in our hearts just on listening to Diana’s singing it 💗
Voce & orchestra meravigliose 🎤🎶🎼🌟👍👏. 👋
This isn't just a love song, its a way of life!!!. Miss Diana Ross is a PIONEER, TRAILBLAZER and GLOBAL PHENOMENON and where Miss Ross leads, others merely follow!!!. ❤x
Just watched her live at the Bournemouth International center absolutely amazing live ❤
I believe she was a smart, driven, headstrong person. She lived her life as she wished. I doubt she was a lesbian. Who knows or cares. She had a great love in Tracy. Many boy friends, lady friends just a normal life. Katherine was a great actress and was bold. I loved that about her. ❤️
She also had her family whom she was close to. She lived a full, exciting life on her own terms.
My favorite actress from the golden age. ❤
Beautiful voice
A great actress they dont make them like her anymore i enjoyed most of her films On Golden Pond was a very good film . Enjoy your long Sleep Ms Hepburn ❤
Mamma Mia ❤ Sento un po’di pace nel cuore quando ascolto il vivace canto di Diana, Amazing Grace 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I wish this interview had been longer. Wow, he got her to speak about Howard Hughes - she rarely did that! In fact, she tried to get him off the subject, and then seemingly willingly launched into the subject herself!!
