The ONLY Carly Concert that Carly did pretty much solo was the Come Upstairs tour.

The 1978 Bottom line show could have been considered the Carly, James and Billy Show.
1995 was the Carly and Hall and Oates Show.The Apollo Show was Carly and a "Variety" of Family and guests.Livingston stole that Show!Serenade was Carly and Children.The most memorable was the Bottom line and of course Come up stairs because I didn't think she would come out!I still say she used the same Sofa or Chaise on the Letters Never sent tour as she used on the Serenade Tour? In any case we are all lucky when we see her no matter who is with her.I worked for WorkBench Furniture for many years and the Owner lived in the same building as Carly and James.Evidently Carly use to take the kids trick or treating in the building and I begged my old Boss to have a Halloween Party at his place just to have Carly and the kids knock on the door so I could answer it! :lol: I use to send her Xmas cards every year from the Company because she purchased furniture from us.Opps!

I have to disagree about the Letters Never Sent tour. Yes, Hall and Oates opened the show, but once their set was over, that was it- it was just the most incredible 90 minutes of Carly thereafter. Same with the Moonlight Serenade tour- once the kiddies were done with their sets, Carly was on for the rest of the night. Last Saturday at the Borgata, Carly disappeared while David and Ben performed (well, okay, for the second set Carly sat alone in the dark at the back of the stage watching them perform). And between her stage banter and the kids' songs, there was precious little of Carly actually performing. If you think about it, her Borgata show was merely twice as long as her acoustic set at Starbucks in May. Don't get me wrong- I love seeing and hearing Carly, but last Saturday was like having dinner at a nouveau French eatery- the morsels are savory, but the portions are tiny and unfilling.

well in 1978 at villa nova while carly took a break, possibly to diaper either sally or ben
the audience was treated to a guy named james taylor performing a then as yet unrecorded version
of carole king's up on the roof
not a bad time filler, huh?

please stop quibbling about how long carly actually performs
we are lucky she still does it at all!!!
