What a special event. Dionne stopped singing this lineup back around 1990 when she toured with Burt Bacharach. It's almost unheard of to have heard these songs, (like Here I am & April Fools) in concert with many of them in their original keys and with a full orchestra this late in Dionne's career and she was in very good voice. By 2005, almost irrevocably the keys to most or all of the songs were transposed down. Dionne gave out little treats here and there that most people would not notice like sining the full version of "Anyone Who Had a Heart" with the last dramatic "why won't you...yeah eah eah" (26:41) which she RARELY attempted in concert due to that being a very stressful part on the vocal chords very likely to produce an embarrassing break in the voice but Dionne gave it to her London audience and hit it without breaking probably as a little jab at Cilla Black as if to say, "I still got it" and Dionne did still have it. You got really lucky to have heard this precious concert.
