More than any other record, this showcases Diana the Diva, and for that alone, it's essential listening.
- Stephen Thomas Erlewine/AMG (4.5/5 Stars)


An Evening with Diana Ross is a 1977 live double album released by American singer Diana Ross on the Motown label. Recorded live at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles during the international tour of Ross' celebrated one-woman show, for which she was awarded a special Tony Award after the show's run at Broadway's Palace Theater, followed by an Emmy-nominated TV special of the same name, the album showcased Ross' live performances for the second time as a solo performer (1974's Live At Caesars Palace is the first). It was the last live album Ross released until 1989's Greatest Hits Live, released before Ross returned to Motown that year. Note: "Someday We'll Be Together" is mentioned as a track on the album from Diana's Supremes hits medley, she doesn't actually sing the song. She speaks over the song's instrumentation and backing vocals while introducing singer and Motown label mate, Smokey Robinson, an audience member that evening.

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine (allmusic.com)

Recorded live at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, An Evening With Diana Ross is, in some ways, a definitive Diana Ross album. It may have been recorded in California, but it feels like a Vegas revue, as Diana sings standards, showtunes, forgotten favorites and hits, even telling the Story of Motown and the Supremes in song. It's not necessarily a subtle show, but it is terrifically entertaining, especially if it is viewed as spectacle. More than any other record, this showcases Diana the Diva, and for that alone, it's essential listening.

Personal Note

With my vinyl transfers, I try to catch the whole beauty of vinyl records; therefore I don't use any post-processing or any sound improvement. What you get is a clear and flat transfer. For getting a clear sound, I'll do an extended washing of each record with my RCM, which can take up to 30 minutes brushing on each side. Resistant ticks and clicks I try to remove as good as possible, but the priority is not to lose any musical information in the process. Surface noises, as long they are not too high, are left in place. Only on bad pressings or on records recorded at extremely low levels do I use a fade in-/-out. As John Peel said, "Life is full of surface noises." In some cases this means that I have to make a compromise.... The result has to pass my personal quality criteria, which is IMO quite high.

I can't believe to my eyes! Dear aksman thank you very much for this HR of this Ross' Live LP. It's so great! It's a very hard to find on CD and now it OOP (I have it) and I always wanted to listen it in High resolution quality - now I can!!! THANKS!
Also I have one dream - I'll be so happy if I'll find a Vinyl-Rip of her 1978 album "ROSS" - it never has been released on CD (the 1 and only her album which wasn't). Maybe you have it, dear friend? It'll be a bomb, I sure!
