She is a Super Star, a power lady. Sunday night Shirley Bassey (76 “Goldfinger”) arrived in Hamburg. Yesterday she also went through rehearsals with the Hamburger Symphonikern in the Laeszhalle. The diva was picked up at 3 p.m. by Limousine from the Nobelhotel ‘Vier Jahreszeiten’ (she has a suite on the 5th floor). At 3.30 rehearsals started and took one and a half hour. Bassey said: ‘When I have to rehearse I don’t have much time to view much of the city but I will definitely go shopping at ‘Am neuen Wall’.

I hope you enjoy the experience Michael. I remember feeling like you for the first time in 1971. And I still feel like it every time I see her. It will give you goosebumps and palpatations!! You feel like you are going to pass out when the orchestra strikes up, awaiting the entrance of the Dame…. Take the smelling salts.
Enjoy the experience it is amazing…xx

Definetly if anyone can post pictures on line, or concert footage, that would be great. Maybe it’ll be on dvd. Hopefully this will be the beginning of some sort of a mini- tour atleast of some world cities. She’s been out of world touring for quite some time now. The first time I saw her live was 1980, and the last 1997. Had the honor of meeting her briefly once, getting an autograph and kiss outside of Carnegie Hall late in 1985, it hangs on my livingroom wall. She’s an actual sensation, and the ultimate best overall female singer. How America has never really adopted her is quite strange and awful. Have a great time at the concert.

SHIRLEY IS BACK to a wonderful reception in a the lovely setting in HAMBURG,. see you tube. If she sounds this good recorded on a camera/cam corder what must it have sounded like. This clearly was no token appearance, with Stuart Barr conducting and and singing 5 songs!, she had brought a brass section from London to augment the symphony orchestra. No backing tapes for the Dame and she promised to return. I think other appearances may be `on the cards` as sh is clearly well. fit and simply wonderful at 76.
