Stepping a little to the side re Lanie K. As a young theatre queen I just loved her voice and when she announced a concert in Melbourne[at the dreadful rock & fight venue Festival Hall[usually, though I did see Barry Manilow mime most of his show there] I rushed and bought tickets for myself and friends.
Looking around from our Front Row Seats[where she would notice us !!!], we chatted, 'where is everyone'?
I think there were more on stage than in the audience.
Lanie did her first number, then looked out and said-'we're gonna do the whole show so I'm gonna wait till you all move down the front and let's all have a party'.
One of those nights to remember, always. She delivered and we worshipped.
