Gladys Knight and the Pips & Ray Charles DVD, Greek Theater, 1977, RARE HBO SHOW

Description: This is an official promotional DVD from HBO. The DVD features the entire concert of Gladys Knight and the Pips & Ray Charles at the Greek Theater (Los Angeles) in 1977. The promotional DVD was issued in 2008 in limited quantities - and has since been discontinued. The DVD has basic information stamped on it and comes in a plain jewel case. The DVD has no inserts or packaging. The DVD is sealed. The DVD is in perfect mint condition and has never been viewed. This concert was recorded over 45 years ago and isn't the greatest quality. It probably won't look great on a large HD screen. Please keep this in mind before purchasing. See my other items for another rare DVD with Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle and Dionne Warwick from 1986. Description of the 1977 show with Gladys Knight and Ray Charles: The great Gladys Knight & the Pips, in their absolute prime in 1977, playing a powerful and beautiful show at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, including the amazing treat of five numbers (as well as some deftly filmed hanging out) from surprise guest Ray Charles, complete with Raelettes. From their first hit, `Every Beat Of My Heart,' through the powerhouse soul explosion of `Heard It Through The Grapevine,' `I've Got To Use My Imagination,' and `Midnight Train To Georgia,' then into gorgeous Streisand territory with `The Way We Were' and `Evergreen,' Gladys Knight displays the big pipes, emotional nuance, and heartfelt humor that make her a Soul legend. The Pips, singing in trademark call-and-response - and executing those famous dance moves - make each song irresistible. And when Ray Charles hits the stage for two solo numbers, and then Ray and Gladys duet, the night is more than complete - until a rousing `Hit The Road, Jack' drives the crowd over the top. Exclusive backstage interview footage only adds to the excitement of this thrilling night of soul star power. Immortal
