A MOMENT IN TIME

FROM DODD DARIN:
Reflecting on my Dad’s passing, it’s a pleasure to be able to share something special with you. Many of you might only remember my Dad from his original recordings and possibly some old black and white snippets from shows such as "American Bandstand", “The Ed Sullivan Show", or "The Judy Garland Show”, etc. As wonderful as it is to have those recordings and his performances on those shows, you only got the true essence of Bobby Darin when you saw him live, raw and unfiltered in his concerts/Vegas shows. What you are about to see was filmed in April,1973. At the time, he had just learned that his NBC TV variety show was not going to be renewed, he hadn’t had a hit record in years, and the music industry landscape that he had known so well had changed drastically from just a few years prior. In addition, he had some legal headaches concerning his publishing business. Most ominously, he was in really poor health. He was suffering severe heart arrhythmias, he had numbness in his hands and he was always tired and rundown.
The audience on that day in April,1973 however never knew anything was amiss as he delivered an emotional, high energy and classic Darin performance. Much of his family, many close friends, and various business associates were in the audience that day and everybody, especially the band, knew that they were part of something more than just a concert that day. What I treasure most is the pure joy that's so clear on his face; the love of performing was the thing that he truly lived for. On that day, he stared down father time and didn’t need an oxygen tank to breathe; the audience breathed life into him on that stage!
Thank God he had the wisdom to film the show. I and other family members, his closest friends and his personal band watch this show often to this very day to feel connected to him.
I hope you enjoy this last filmed performance of his career.
Dodd Darin
p.s. Thank you for your ongoing support of our FB page and your kind comments about my Dad. My family and I appreciate it very much and it motivates us to keep his legacy alive.

If I could fulfill one wish, I'd go back in time to see one of his shows. I was only 12 when he died, yet I've followed him for my lifetime. He had it all, and could do it all. It was a terrible loss that has never been filled by anyone. He was just Bobby, and no one could take his place.

Yes. On 322, skull and bones. I think they killed him.
I like to remember him so full of grit on this sad day for me. Extraordinary, incomparable, unique. I miss you my beloved Bobby Darin. You were and remain the greatest of all. There won't be another like you. Forever in my heart.
Absolutely wonderful. Fun and feels like he was here... And I wasn’t even around in 73
I've never seen Bobby look tired. he wanted to live & perform. Thank you Mr. Dodd for sharing.
Bobby Darin the voice 50 and 60.🎵🎼🎶🎤🌹🙏💐
This guy was SO TALENTED. The sacrifices he made for his Wife and family was immeasurable. Producer, Writer, Vocalist, Actor, Dancer, Freedom fighter, I hope I didn't leave anything out. His generosity (giving Wayne Newton Danke Schoen) was always genuine. What a shame a man with such a good heart had congenital heart disease. I truly believe he'd have been the biggest star of any generation.
I miss you Bobby Darin. You mean so much to me.
Bobby was one of a kind. Anyone who hasn't seen Midnight Special from this same show should see it right away. He accomplished so much in his short life. Such an amazing talent.
energy, energy, energy, personality, personality, talent, talent, talent, talent, talent, etc. Thanks for keeping him alive.
Amazing. The greatest singer in the world.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Bobby Darin...a magnificent talent!
This is an amazing performance. Absolutely one of my favorites. From what I remember, he actually had sepsis when filming this..or very shortly afterwards. VERY very sick this day and yet put on SUCH a performance! I'd love to have caught him on a day when he felt GOOD!
The then the now magnificent one .
Love it, thanks for sharing this fantastic clip, he was the best.
Bobby Darin genio de genio rey en la música de los 50y 60. Estabas enfermo ese día pero no te importo contar de cantarnos ese día .Nunca te olvidaremos.

That's scary to think about. Bobby had so much talent it was pouring out of him.
Awesome.
Talent?….IN SPADES!!!!!!
A magical talent taken from everyone all too soon, but treasure the moments and pleasures he has given every fan and music lover, he will never be forgotten nor can his real talents and musical gift be measured or graded, other then saying "magical and magnificent"!
We need more please!!!!
Love it!!
I love you ‘to the moon, and back.’ I hope we meet in the next life.
I hope this is never taken off. You tube. I've been trying to find this for for some time now.
The Best.....A Life For The Ages
Watching this makes me so very happy!
We need more.
Ma sono l unica che si rende conto della grandezza di quest' uomo😮?
I have a mitral valve prolapse and must have antibotics before any invasive procedure. It was up to the doctors to make sure he was medicated. Their fault we lost such an awesome talent too soon. So sorry, Bobby!

They took Bobby's word that he was taking his coagulants following dental surgery. He wasn't.
