Today we showcase Dame Shirley Bassey’s last full concert which was at the Roundhouse in London in October 2009. Below the video which starts with a commercial for the BBC Electric Proms. Originally ‘Apartment’ was cut out but I managed to edit it back in.

Wasn’t that a fantastic evening; the atmosphere was truly electric! Dame Shirley was on top form that night and loving every minute of it; one of her best performances ever. Thanks Pieter – Terry.

The Radio 2 recording also had Something and Never, Never, Never, but like The Apartment, they got cut out for T.V. time allowed I guess.

Yes, why did they have to leave these out Ian and still not a commercial recording available on DVD – shame on you BBC! – Terry.

Hi Terry, and Ian is there anyway we can put pressure on the BBC to put it in video form. I bet they will once DSB is no longer with us. Very sad.

Thank you Pieter. You’ve outdone yourself again with this post. I agree with each comment made by my fellow DSB fans. Oh, I wonder what Smokey Robinson and DSB talked about backstage. Two legends.
