She's sung this song hundreds of times on tv, but this is one of my favorite performances of it.

One thing the entertainment business never took from Donna Summers is her voice. She took that with her. Thank God

Her voice matured so gracefully Rest in Peace Donna. U might be gone but will never be forgotten.

Good God this is absolute slayage of the highest order. 60 years old here and yet she killed it like she was 20 years old. Legend.

She's at her 60's and still belts like she's just 18. She sings with class, have amazing vocals and control. I love your music and your good spirit. This lady is a "SINGER!!!" Today the definition of singers are those who wear Halloween costumes, teen boys who look like tomboys and those who sings crappy lyrics. RIP Donna Summer thank you for the Last Dance and for the "CAKE".

On this day in 1978 {May 27th} Donna Summer performed this song on the late Dick Clark's American Bandstand... Two weeks earlier on May 13th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100; eventually it peaked at #3 and spent 21 weeks in the Top 100... It reached #5 on Billboard's R&B chart... And it won an Academy Award & a Golden Globe award for "Best Original Song" from the movie "Thank God, It's Friday"... Sadly; Donna Summer passed away on May 17th... R.I.P. Ms. Summer and Mr. Clark...

This live performance and her voice were incredible! Her voice was like a wine,better with age. Im so glad that she made her "exit" with this amazing performance full of greatness!

Gone so soon. I kept saying that her voice was like wine: it only got better with time. RIP, dear DONNA!

She never lost her voice, but her voice changed when she got older! It became lower , when she was younger she had a high voice but still she sounds fabilous

Hell of a voice! She never lost her voice

legends dont die they lived on and on

This will never be repeated! Glorious voice, luscious tone, powerful projection, musicality. Great orchestra and conductor, mesmerised public! THAT must have been THE most exciting rendition of 'Last Dance' EVER. What a splendid voice! Nobody will ever come close to THAT Donna sound! Remember that she has been classically trained: no doubt we can appreciate that in her unique style. Her voice was HUGE, unlike the current crop of would-be divas (Donna never considered to be one). MAGIC! RIP.

NOBODY..... Will ever be able to sing a Donna Summer song. Quite like the late & overly gorgeous Miss Donna Summer herself.. She was surely one of a kind.. #RestInPeaceDiVa.

When I was a 16 year old kid in 1978 in Dallas, I first heard her...I bought her album "On the Radio"...And I fell in love with her...I would look at her picture on the album, and almost cry...I still love her, and I cried the day she passed...

3 years later, she was gone. can only imagine if she was dealing with the lung cancer that would claim her, during this concert. so glad I got to experience her in my life.

Her voice does not age it only improves. I cannot believe this (audio) clip is from 2009 and not 1975.

Donna, thanks for making that whole time one of glamour and excitement..We will never forget you.

Singers and bands have come and gone , but she still shines after all these years .She's awsome!

One class act. So glad I got to see her live....she sang so strong with so little effort. Just a crazy talented woman. Too damn young to die....R.I.P. Ms. Summer. You will never ever be forgotten.

she is the queen , and diva, and women the voice of the world is Donna Summer.

Thanks for the music...a true ICON and she'll be missed! RIP Ms. Summer

R.I.P. Donna Summer!~ Last Dance...right up there with Happy trails...Bar Closing Favorites...then the house lights go on...and you realize just what you almost went home with... GodSpeed to that next Disco Ballroom Honey ....so sad only 63 years old

Thank you for the soundtrack to an era! What joys your music gave us. Rest in Peace.

So amazing.Even the conductor was jamming to the tune.You just cant help it when she sings.Still hitting those notes like a pro.Fantastic!

This is pure magic! I keep watching this clip over and over again. Thank you Donna! (RIP) And thanks to the great Norwegian Broadcasting Orchestra. She was such an fantastic artist, and the orchestral arrangements gives me goosebumps.

The world has lost one of its greatest singers. Donna you were a big part of my life during the 70's and 80's. Your, "Love to Love You Baby" filled the dance floors in 1975 and will fill the floors just as full now 37 years later. RIP Donna, you will have all of heaven dancing! You will always be remembered.

Please pay attention to the conductor. It's another highlight of this show! The look at the conductors face: the intense concentration and the passionate look in his eyes, his potent gestures while conducting, his whole face oozes of the satisfaction he is feeling...the sweet smile at his mouth expresses the almost orgasmic experience he is having while conducting what irrefutable is the most exceptional musical performance of his life! :-)

I found it hard to hold back some tears today. As with many who have posted here, Don Summer was the summer of my youth. That voice and her music will love on forever. RIP and sleep tight special one and thank you for such wonderful memories.

This was incredible! I would have loved to grow up in the 70s where she reigned as Queen of Disco...such feel good music. But thank God for youtube and for her blessing us with her music. RIP Donna Summer

RIP Donna Summer. Gracias por esa música eterna.

God I miss her! She did not live long after this and yet the performance was flawless. My favorite Disco Artist. Such class.

Can't keep playing the reprise at 05:47 and the way Donna leaves the stage, controling her voice perfectly while walking to the wings. OMG those security guards around the stage must have thought: "Jeez, she's something, she's fabulous! - a real Queen!") Who would have guessed that she was already suffering? Perhaps THE most sensational live performance by the "Queen of disco"! Love Her. RIP

She had style, she had grace, and with that smile, gave good face! What the Rock Establishment too too long to recognize, the rest of us knew years ago: the woman was THE QUEEN. At Rama (north of Toronto) the crowd was yelling how fab she was, and yet she stood there laughing, saying that "we didn't live with her" and didn't know what she could be like first thing in the morning. What self-depracating humour, what a lady, what a songstress. She invited the WORLD to dance - what an ambassador of joy!

oh wow she didn't lost her voice! although it's deeper but she song so perfect! I miss her so much sighs

She was the last great Diva of my youth. I remember this song so well from 1978.

Unbelievable!!! After all these years and her voice was still ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! That's what real entertainer looks like folks, a true lady, with a voice that never failed. I love you so much Donna Summer Sudano. Thank you for sharing your gifts and your love with us. You will be truly missed but never forgotten!! :-(

Donna is the best....this song makes me cry and dance at the same time......how can you sit down you just want to move to this:)

DONNA SUMMER R.I.P. - you are a part of my youth .... Thank you for all you good music - thank you for making me sooo happy at that time and still now .....

She was the best! She made it all look so effortless from the beginning of her career to the end.

SHE HAS LOST NONE OF THAT WONDERFUL VOICE WE ALL LOVE SOOOO MUCH!! YEAH INDEED DONNA ROCKS!! NOT MATTER HOW OLD SHE IS!!

I am so happy to have been part of the disco era. I'm still dancing to her music. You will always live in my heart.

She was so fantastic ! I was 18 when all those awesome hits came out. and she made the world dance. Rest in peace Donna ;]

RIP Donna Summer. Absolutely fantastic the way she sang. We´ll never forget you.

She was so talented and beautiful. RIP DONNA.

She is amazing and the band is not leaving anything on the table!

Bless you Dear, for your shrewd comments which are very true. That voice was unique, and Donna could have sung musicals, even operetta (as a mezzo-soprano). That luscious, sexy, hefty sound will never be repeated. She was so amazing. Best.

DONNA MARKED A FANTASTIC ERA.....HER VOICE WAS UNIQUE AND POWERFUL SHE ALWAYS BE THE DIVA.....THE QUEEN OF DISCO 4EVER !!!!. REST IN PEACE DONNA....ANOTHER ANGEL IN HEAVEN !!!

I am so grateful for people who download this material....such a great way to experience those artists and their music, that we will always love.

wow, what memories this brings up. It was always the last song played when the lights came up, letting evryone know it was the last dance or drink for the night. Time to go home!

RIP Donna, you are singing en heaven now.

RIP Donna you were one of the best from the 70's

Also...I want this song played at my funeral...because it will be my last dance...

Thank you for making us dance Donna Summer!

No matter how many times I've listened to this song.... it Akways

Wow! So sad she no longer is here....

Yes..Rest In Peace. Thanks for the many nights Dico Dancing to this song.

R.I.P Donna Summer The undisputed Queen Of Disco. This fantastic song as always been my ultimate favourite of Donna's. I feel privileged that I sang this song at one of my shows a few years back amongst many of her classic hits. A great tribute to a great lady. We will miss you lots xxxxx

Donna Summer had such a gift. Incredible. Incredible. She was a divine force of nature. We miss you, Donna.

Donna, you had a voice of an angel, with beauty, power, and most important, humility, and a strong love of God. I dont know why you got Cancer but i hope you are at Peace now. I dont understand why we loose so many artists so young [63] . You were truley loved by your fans and family. THis is a bad DAY for your family, surley, and all of us fans. So SAD.

Just amazing voice. We miss her...

The women could blow. It was her last dance but we will always remember. RIP. The NBO also did a huge effort here, they managed to serve Ms. Summer with honors.

What a great voice...classy lady....!

But, when you were good, you were SO SO GOOD. Thanks for the music, Donna.

That voice and it's power, just amazing! She was so talented. RIP

God bless you Donna......your music will always live forever. RIP Donna......we love you!!!!

AN INCREDIBLE VOICE ! The best that i can heard

Thank you for all your music, May the you see the Lord soon,

I could not agree more. This woman had an amazing voice that did not change over the decades. She did not the recognition that she deserved! God Bless her soul.

this is exactely how I feel about Donna, I started to know her when I was about 10 years old, and I LOVED HER!! And I still do. I did not cry when she died but since that time, I'm still thinking of her... I also agree with others that it is absolutely NOT understandable that it took so long for Donna to reach the Hall of Fame!!!!!!!!!! She should have been there 20, sorry, I still think I'me 20, 30 years ago!!!!!!!

she was bigger then life. r.i.p donna summer your songs will live forever

the music director is awesome!!!

She got better with age. ICONIC PERFORMACE!!!

Gotta say, I lived the disco life of the 70's and early 80's, and always loved Donna Summer. She had a lot of excellent tracks. So talented. So beautiful. But today she has died, and I'm a little in shock. Its only now I realise how much of my life was played out to a soundtrack that Donna Summer featured so heavily. This performance shows what a phenomenal talent she was, right til the end. RIP Donna Summer.

R. I. P. Donna Summer ! Hello my dear friend Absolutely beautiful song Donna Summer singing Last Dance. I love it. my dear friend You did a wonderful job. Thanks for this beautiful share with us! I wish you a super weekend filled with much love, joy and sunshine .....(((((((((Hugs))))))))) from Huggie xoxo

She Gone but not forgotten R.I.P DONNA SUMMER

Thanks for packing my night. I can not dance, but I will always love (BRAZIL)

I have had the absolute privilege of seeing Donna Summer Live in concert a few times in my life, proud to say in the front row. It would be an honor to see her again someday, she is one of America's National Treasures. F A B U L O U S ! ! !

3:05 amazing u sing Donna got it man she gives u goose bumps

Nearly shed a tear as people stood up to dance.

LAST CALL!!! I didn't realize how much how much of the sound track of my life you took up til now. Thank you for sharing your voice to a generation. You are truly missed. Rest in peace.

SHE IS BETTER NOW THAN SHE HAS EVER BEEN. LOVE TO DONNA

Incredible Queen and top singer !!! You miss me Donna !

Wonderful! Her voice..the orchestra... FABULOUS!!

I'm so fortunate to have grown up in an era where I was exposed to her music. Donna is so talented and timeless. I was so saddened to learn she passed away but she did make an inedible mark on music in a big way. She will be greatly missed by me but never forgotten. We've truly lost some talented people lately.

She was approximately 60 years old when this concert was filmed and she still sounds like she did her in glory days (which were glory days for so many of us). She proves that true talent doesn't fade and we all feel better knowing her voice is permanently a part of our memories. This is a voice that will never be silenced, not even with her early death. God bless you Donna Summer.

none of us are perfect....not you...not me!!!!!.... no matter what....she will still the Queen of Disco....

RIP I miss this ... we will always remember our last dance with Donna

Will never be another like Donna! Either this or Night of the Proms may have been her last performance - so fantastic! Sadly she passed 3 years later here in Florida. R.I.P Donna.... one of a kind voice

Electrifying. what a Performance for the ages !

On this day in 1978 {May 17th} the movie "Thank God It's Friday" had its debut in Los Angeles, CA Two days later on May 19th the film had its official premier in New York City... The song "Last Dance" by Donna Summer won an Academy Award for 'Best Original Song'... Sadly, exactly 34 years later on May 17th, 2012 Donna Summer passed away at the age of 63... May she R.I.P.

One of the greatest song writers and singers that ever lived! What a powerhouse voice that got better and stronger with time! This song just touches my heart! She was dearly loved and she is dearly missed!

Who knew a Nobel show could be this exciting?!!!

Love it, love it, love it!!!! This is my favorite song by Donna. The conductor was grooving lol! This is wonderful...thank you for uploading it.

You will be missed. I always wanted to see you live. Didn't get the chance. I remember all these songs from when I was 7 yrs old. My mom and aunt would play your songs at family parties. Those were good times and memories of my youth. Get flashbacks when I hear your music. RIP THE DISCO QUEEN! Love you. See you one day.
