Dionne Warwick - BBC In Concert, Mermaid Theatre, London, Britain, 9-4-2005

Here's a BBC concert for Dionne Warwick. She's had a very long career, starting in the early 1960s and continuing to this day as I write this in 2025, but this seems to be the only concert that she did for the BBC, at least as far as I can tell.

It's too bad this wasn't from earlier in her career. But in terms of song selection, it basically was. I'm pretty sure that every single song here is from the early 1960s until the early 1980s, which was her long hit-making era. And, not surprisingly for her, the vast majority of the songs were written by the remarkable songwriting team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

After a long spoken intro over some music, the rest of the concert is practically one long medley, with almost no breaks between songs. But she alternated between performing truncated versions of some songs and full versions of other songs.

This is another album where I must thank musical friend Progsprog. I didn't know this existed, and it doesn't seem available on the Internet. But he had it and sent it to me. 

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent. 

This album is 56 minutes long.
