This was my 3rd time seeing Diana and probably my favorite. I've never seen her have so much fun on stage before. There was hardly any interaction with the audience, which used to be something that was a staple of her shows, but you could tell she was enjoying watching her fans get up and have a good time. Her 18 piece band/orchestra were tight, although sometimes they overpowered Diana's vocals. New outfits were designed for the tour, in which she changed into after every 3 or 4 songs...each one outdoing the others. Diana also used video screens for this tour, something she's shied away from in the past. Images of The Supremes shown while she belted out a full version of "Reflections" and during "It's Hard For Me To Say", she honored her fellow Motown colleagues to roaring applause. This tour received quite a bit of press and hopefully it will bring her more into the spotlight. My favorite parts of the show included "Reflections", the medley of "Love Hangover", "Take Me Higher" and "Ease on Down The Road", her salsa version of "Love Child" and the singalong of "Reach Out and Touch".
