Watching this 40 years later and still can say: What a great show!

Best concert I've ever seen. I've seen many. Not one time did she ever lose contact with the audience. Extraordinary. Exceptional. Incredible. Queen. Teacher. Apex.

I attended this show in Caesars Palace during September 1979 as a 22 year old, on my first trip to Las Vegas. Great to see it again.

I just love that she's always smiling whilst she's performing, so infectious

When I bought my first house I bumped “its my house” like a billion times to the point that my neighbors knocked on my door to ask if this was my house 🤣

For any millenials watching, this concert was technically cutting edge for its time. The whole video entrance was groundbreaking and so advanced. Diana Ross was the top female star at the time this was filmed.

Diana is an attractive woman but when she sings she becomes beautiful....she smiles when she sings even sad songs and it doesn't come across as out of place...she's got it in spades there will never be another like this girl

That intro was WAY ahead of its time for 1979! Unbelievable!

Her best opening ever. Over the top, innovative for its time, beauty icon, fashion icon, feminine yet strong and confident. This is actually Diana’s sweet spot. She is a complete entertainer and the mix of hits with dancers, special effects, lighting and that distinctive voice and presence is a magical alchemy.

I have watched this concert countless times ever since I was a kid. I know every song, note, gesture, mannerism. I am now 52 years old. I love Diana Ross!

Background singers killing it on vocals

This is magical! The first black megastar. And to think we are still blessed to have her here with us.

I was at this concert. I was 16 years old we were at one of the tables along the stage. I was about the 6th seat from the stage. What an incredible show. 😊

There is no smile that is as infectious as her smile. There is no voice that reaches into your heart and touches it like her voice. There is no entertainer on the face of the earth that brings such joy, such talent, such glamour and so much of her essence to the stage as Diana Ross does...and she's been doing it for over 50 years! I've been privileged to see her in concert a few times and all I can say is that I am at once uplifted and exhausted each time they ends. She takes you with her on the journey of a lifetime and just when you think it's time for another of "HER" songs, she hits you right between the eyes with another of, what by now are, her standards. I've always been lucky enough to be standing next to her when she comes out into the audience when she does "Reach Out & Touch...." and I can only tell you that she is every bit as gorgeous as she is up on the screen. There is a loveliness that comes from deep within her that is always there...every show...every year...no matter the audience. She leaves it all on the stage when she finally takes her leave of the stage and sings the last notes continue to play you out the door. It's an experience you'll never forget and it's one you'll wish you'll have again! She is a polished, seasoned and amazing performer.

This had to be seen as cutting edge for 1979. I didn't even know they had video screens and could splice like that back then. Have to respect her for longevity and for her perfect showmanship. She knows how to work her crowd.

Diana is a class act! A consummate entertainer; second to none! 🌠

The Lady...The Legend...The Legacy...Dame Diana..Forever Love!

Her singing in full voice was awesome. At her peak

Now this is what I call legendary and unforgettable. Nothing against the new entertainers but you have to be a star. Ms Ross was and is one of the most glamorous female artists of our time.

This is concert goals. As a Millennial, we don't have concerts like this. A concert without phones. Enjoying the moment and music.

I REMEMBER THIS SHOW AS IF IT WAS JUST YESTERDAY, MY WIFE AND I WAS AT THIS SHOW, RIGHT UP IN FRONT TABLE, YES MISS ROSS'S WAS WAY BEFORE HER TIME WITH THE TECHNO AND STAGE ENTRANCE !!! THE NIGHT THE LEGEND MARVIN GAYE WAS AT THE SHOW, ALONG WITH MISS ROSS'S MUM AND THREE DAUGHTERS !!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

"What ever happened to that hometown girl"? Living her dreams. Quite motivational.

This woman is legendary

The most Beautiful Concert i have ever seen

I saw this show in Detroit and Aretha Franklin was in the audience on reach out and touch and OMG And Aretha killed it

She's Flawless

This lady has what is called a truly amazing voice gifted from God. No other can perform like her and we still have her performing today 2024. I call her blessed. 🙏🏾❤️

Best concert ever🥰

At the height of her vocal power and prowess - my gosh Ms Ross was on full throttle here 😍😍

I'VE BEEN A SUPREMES FAN SINCE 1963...... AND STILL CRAZY ABOUT THIS SUPER STAR IN 2023.........SIXTY YEARS OF PURE HAPPINESS

The entrance and everything in between and that exit 🙌 she truly showed she was the boss .. now this whole show could be a vehicle for a Broadway show ... 🙌

As hard as it may be to believe, in 1979, Diana took this entire show one the road, performing in many cities. Orchestra, dancers, background choir, movie screens and all. It was earthshaking to see live. Due to the large dimensions of the stage, they tended to set it up in sports arenas versus auditoriums. Back in those days, if you liked the newer songs on the set list (The Boss, No One Gets the Prize, I Ain't Been Licked, It's My House, All for One), you had to run out and buy the new vinyl album (The Boss). And everyone did, immediately! It's no wonder she was topping the charts back then.

Gotta be honest. Haven’t seen this concert in 30 years and the entrance still gets me! ❤️❤️❤️

How can't you love this wonderful woman.

That opener was bomb!!!! Love her!

She brought this show to Atlanta, and I was there. Miss Ross never disappoints, and I've lost count of how many times I've seen her live. She's really about the last of the old school entertainers left. G!

After seeing Diana Ross last night live in concert at the age of 78, it is amazing to see this. I wish I could have seen her when she was younger. What a star

If you have seen Diana Ross, you have seen The Very BEST!!!!

It’s 2021 and Diana is still killing it. One thing I appreciate of Diana is her humility. She doesn’t have to prove her status as Diva. She has earned it ! Ms. Diana Ross, an American Institution. Hard work has earned her a net worth of approx. $300 million. She has stayed out of too much politics which can ruin a stars reputation. She was smart. She has destroyed all racial barriers. She must be one of the most successful vocalist in American history. This Diva is an inspiration to all of us.

EPIC !!! Vocal Perfection ... Beautiful Lady & Extraordinary Entertainer !! One of the Greatest Performers of EVVVAAHHH !!!

THE QUEEN. THE BEST PERFOMANCE SHE EVER DID. I CAN WATCH THIS OVER AND OVER. LOVE DIANA ROSS.

This was fabulous ❤. I can’t remember what year I saw her at Caesars Palace, but it was the best thing I ever did as a young woman. I also saw Marvin Gaye here in Houston in one of his last concerts. Those were the best days of my life. You didn’t have to worry about getting shot or hurt if you were alone. The world has changed because of the people in it now. How sad.

Fan or not, in her heyday, she could definitely put on a show.

NO GRAMMY, NO OSCAR- NO PROBLEM!!!! LONG LASTING CAREER!!!!

Diana is a Goddess. She sings smiling and thats absolutly wonderful. What a Singer, what a Voice! She doesnt just sing, she acts and she talks, all in elegant and classy style.

That my friends is how you make an ENTRANCE. I was 4-years-old when I saw this on HBO in 1979. I was mesmerized to say the least and have been a fan ever since. I know everyone considers her Central Park show the most iconic but this is Diana at her best. The slicked back hair, the furs, the out of this world vocals, the dancers and the screen. This show was ahead of its time and so was DIANA!!!! #LOVEIT

Omg the entrance lol and the exit classic and ahead of its own time!!! Lady Diana knew what she was doing she was leaving her blue print on the industry! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💯💯💯💯

i’ll always come back to this. always.

There is something so beautiful in Diana's soul that goes beyond all the petty human judgments of her mistakes, temperament and limitations. This woman was born to perform and to communicate, which is a loving gift she has given generously for decades now. She has shown by example the virtues of hard work, vital energy, perseverance, setting goals & creating dreams; beautiful values & personal transformation. Let's honor Diana Ross and hold her up to the Light with LOVE ***

Best opening in show business ever.

I loved the back ground singers!

Marvin Gaye u looked sooo amazing and sounded amazing

Got the sweetest Ross hangover I don’t want to get over. Don’t you dare call the doctor mama or preacher Gimme All of Dr. Diana she can cure me. Diana Ross high

A great performance. A lesson in history. 20years of being on stage. 60 years as of today. A lifetime.

I’ve watched this a million times. Ahead of her time!

Came here after watching the 2022 Grammys to see a real show. What a class act. We need this type of artistic integrity today.

One of the best concerts I've ever seen.

Such a classy, glamorous, and timeless performance by the boss. Sad that we don’t have many musicians like this anymore.

If any artist wants to know how to enage an audience watch this woman back in the day. Nobody better

I love the way she’s singing higher & stronger!

One of the great live performances. This show illustrates the allure and magic of DIANA....#theboss

Watched this again! Must be 100th time, nobody can compare to Diana live ❤️❤️

I was at this concert, it was one of the most exciting evenings of my life. It coincided with the Independence celebrations for Mexico and Central America, as the audience stepped out of Caesar's Palace we were treated to a sky filled with fireworks. As if in celebration of this spectacular concert.

I NEVER SEEN CLEOPATRA BUT DIANA ROSS IS THE CLOSES THING TO HER THE AUDIENCE DIDN'T WANT THE SHOW TO END AND I DIDN'T EITHER GOD BLESS DIANA ROSS ♥️💗💙❤️🙏

I love this woman for life! She is my entertainment guru. My sweet inspiration when I entertain. 2020 relevant!

This is Diana Ross perfect !

This is better than today's concerts

Any Millennials watching this, the production values/technology used in this concert were way ahead of their time! This was cutting edge stuff! The video/big screen- this was mind blowing to audiences- the dancers and costumes? No one else did this at the time! No autotune- ALL live! Exactly 40 years ago, Sept 1979- Aug 2019. "The Boss" was No1 on the Billboard Disco Chart & in the Top 20 of the Hot 100 singles when this was recorded.

This is my favorite concert ever. Phenomenal!!!!

Can’t believe I’m saying this in 2020. She need to bring back this act for her concerts.

This is Talent!!! And all she took off was her coat. Wow no wonder Barry Gordy went ALL out for her. She is amazing!!

This was in February 1979 its February 2021 shes still performing 🙌🏾 50+ years wow

Diana Ross has never changed how she conducts he's self towards her fans and and you could watch her time and time again thank you Diana. One thing me and my mate John who sadly passed her away were fans of her from the 60s and on wards and thank for the memories.

one of her best concerts, live with full orchestra and back up dancers...amazing figure too after 3 kids, Diana more power to you !!!

Well, this is why Michael Jackson was totally drop head upside down for this woman , she is a sparkling gem of class and aura ! Such a desirable woman !

This was the best goddamned concert she ever did bar none! She was in great voice, and at the height of her glamour. She delivered 150% on this one. This is absolutely why she was the BOSS! ♥️♥️♥️

Please let's not forget the backing singers.....totally on point ❤

This tour first kicked off in April of 1979 in Providence, Rhode Island. There were 20,000 people in attendance and the excitement was rampant. When Diana burst through the screen after that incredibly beautiful montage, everyone was on his/her feet. The original concert included a sexy rendition of Lovin, Livin, Givin with images of Diana covered in feathers and nothing else being projected onto the giant screen. She also sang each character's songs from The Wiz to promote the album "Diana Ross Sings Songs From The Wiz" which was shelved at that time to be released in the 2000's. She ended the show by floating out from backstage lounging in an enormous shoe and singing You Were The One from Ross 78. For this video from Caesar's Palace the show was revamped to promote her fab Album "The Boss" so other portions of the original show were removed. Too bad because the imagery of Lovin, Livin, Givin was amazing. I saw this version at Caesar's a few times and the audience reaction was the same as in Providence for the original tour. The original tour was called "Tour 79" and there's a great promotional ad for it but I can't find it anywhere on KZfaq. I have the promo ad in my collection but it's of poor quality. In this show, her versions of "God Bless the Child" and "My Man" will remain highlights of Ross's career forever. Seeing this concert in person was chilling!!!!

Why this has never been officially released on DVD is heartbreaking to ponder. This concert is fueled with DIANA ROSS at her vocal BEST from beginning to end. I lose it every time on "God Bless The Child" and "My Man"...This lady is phenomenal on levels that no other female entertainer could ever reach if they tried. Diana ROSS is THE BOSS. PERIOD!

Nobody can give a concert like this one. Still today. Nobody can deliver the love she does. And when she goes in the audience singing the whole place sings with her. Just like Central Park. All those people with the rain she kept all those people calm. People say shit about her because they are jealous. This woman at 78 can still sing. And still packs the concerts

Best show ever ever ever love from Norway since then.1979 Love Love Love

She is ... everything. Today’s pop stars goodbye .., I’m going back to Diana !

Miss Ross is such a STAR !!!!

she was SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL

She was the lady in his life.... Understandable. Wonderful!

I first saw this concert televised in Australia one Saturday night in 1984 as a "For One Night Only" TV special when I was 10 years old. Who could ever forget that wonderful opening with the screens of Diana and her entrance. Now watching it 35 years later I see a legend performing at her peak. The show is wonderful and her performance is magical. Truly one of the great concerts.

she communicate with the audience like they are in her home. i

I was 12 years old when I watched this concert on either “Hollywood Home Theatre “ or “HBO”. I’m 53 years old now and I still love watching it. Diana Ross is still one of my favorite R&B artists.

I got to dance with Diana on the stage with 10 other people who were plucked from the audience of the Oakdale Theater in Wallingford, Connecticut, circa 1980. I think it was when she sang “Upside Down”. Afterward, we all lined up to kiss her cheek before going back to our seats. I could tell that she really didn’t want to be touched and was gritting her teeth, but she never once stopped smiling. What a show she put on. Diana was the consummate performer.

There's just something about Diana Ross. Even Michael Jackson was captivated by Diana Ross' special something. I think Diana Ross was able to step out in the "God Idea" of herself and what we got was something beyond what we could imagine.

I remember seeing this concert as a teenager and I was floored. Seeing it now so many years later, I am still blown away from this concert. Diana was incredible. My mom was a Motown fan and it brought back great memories. Diana Ross still rocks!!

This was my first time seeing Diana Ross live and I was hooked. I started looking for all of her older music.I didn't even know she was a Supreme. I have bought all of her music since then, and even got to actually see her live and she was still awesome. Ms. Ross is the BOSS...ain't no doubt about it! Thanks to Nandy Ross for posting this whole concert. Just wish i could have it personally in my collection like the Central Park concert.

I watched this on TV some 30 years ago and that entrance was WOW then and still is today ICONIC! This is Miss Ross at her peak onstage! It needs to be remastered for DVD release! #UltimateMissRoss!

saw this opening during her 1979 U-S tour.concert stop in OKC. yes they did this on tour!! sat 2nd row. still best concert opening i've ever seen!

Nobody else can do what Diana can do. I watch this all the time. I think it's her best performance ever 😉😉. I love this lady ( that's what she is a lady) no lip sic. The Boss Ms. Ross. I need you I'll call you ( I wish I could)

This is the first concert I ever saw on of my idol on TV afterwards I have made it my goal to see Ms Ross live wherever possible

I Love her, she is so including with her audience. Had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful Dame at Ceasars

Diana's the BOSS 💖 No question! She was the "Beyonce" of that era... Mega Star Quality ✨⭐✨ Saw her live in 1982. An epic live performer- she had the stadium wrapped around her finger

From the Supremes To single artist From the sixtys to present, If and when she came anywhere new Philly. I was in the building. Her first after leaving the Supremes, She appeared at the Academy Of Music. I brought 2 tickets for different night. I'll never forget it.

Best concert ever! wish I’d been there, watch it at least once a week, Diana is the best live artist ever!❤️
