One Last Time!" Farewell Tour. But to truly appreciate the significance of a farewell tour, as Barry points out in two personal and reflective interviews on this DVD, one must first understand where it all began. That is why he authorized the release of the black-and-white videotape recording from his first rehearsal at Carroll's Studio in New York City - a reference tape he used to determine what songs worked and what songs didn't before he went out on his very first tour ever. At the end of that performance on a cold New York night, a young naive Barry Manilow, having no idea what lay ahead for him, asked his audience to "wish me luck." And so here is the beginning and the end of road shows from 1974 to 2004 that touched the hearts and souls of millions around the world.
