That most likely was some gig for a smaller record company audience where promo live material was filmed. I think some of it even was on a promo VHS that was around in Mexico by Polygram at the time.

It might be one of the cleanest Soundboards of I Can't Help Falling In Love out there.

Richie's final Australian show in 1998. He admits that Ballad of Youth was too high for him at that time already and tries a verse and chorus. Furthermore, he does an acoustic rendition of Mr. Bluesman and closes out the show with a spine-chilling rendition of Never Say Goodbye!

I think Ballad was a tough one for him to sing even in 1991 - that's why he would do it as a duet with Crystal Taliefero on the Stranger shows

All this Ballad talk forced me to watch some old school vids... And Damm what a beast Richie was. He was lethal as a front man in his prime. You forget how young and bullet proof they were back then and the main reason why we all still post here today.

Short, but excellent acoustic set played by Richie at the Mayfair in Allentown 1998. Hugh and Everett Bradley were also on stage with him. Great relaxed atmosphere!

I've never saw this interview from 1996 before... there is also one with Richie.

That was a great watch. Today I learned that before the key change there used to be a drum section which was cut later.

Kansas' "Dust In The Wind" has always been synonymous for me the band's exhausting tours and their burn-out in the late 80's:

The last time Jon ever sang a BJ song in original key live?
