At age 16 I had just started working in a kitchen at Disneyland. Manhattan Transfer came to do a performance in Tomorrowland, I ended up taking my 30 minute lunch to watch the show. Disneyland did not allow cast members to watch shows in the park nor were they allowed to take an hour to do so. I almost lost my job, but I learned to buy tickets to see MT in the future. Saw them in concert perhaps 20 more times, not risking my job anymore. I will miss their shows at Disneyland (on days off) in Vegas, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Oakland, Tokyo, Seattle, London, Sydney. Thanks MT. You helped me plan vacations all over the world, built my music collection and taught me the American Song Book. You are missed.

I'm so grateful we get to share this cross cultural treasure with the great German people

[soundofmyheart]

The Manhattan Transfer, for me the best vocal group ever ❤

[pacificbob]

Love it. I miss Tim Hauser however Trist sounds like Tim. With my eyes closed I would have thought it was him. Janis, Cheryl and Paul of course were wonderful. They've still got it! Wow what an orchestra. Great concert - I hope they are all staying safe.

[wsegen]

trist curliss is doing great. it's natural to miss tim hauser, but it's so great the transfer keep on keepin' on. cologne is a trip!!!

[saba]

I go crazy! Forever Manhattan Transfer!!!! Wahnsinn....

[MaryVon]

The Transfer has "stayed the course" through it all. Even with the loss of Tim and earlier with Laurel's accident, the extraordinary quality of pure talent always continues. Cheryl and Trist have remained faithful to Tim's original vision for an innovative yet True Jazz Vocal Group with enormously versatile voices and creativity. Who would have thought a cabbie with a dream and three like minded, equally talented, and creative persons would have been a driving force behind some of the greatest music Worldwide crossing two Centuries. Many thanks for the Memories, Smiles, Tears, and Life!
Tim Hauser - Mastermind
Janis Siegel - Phenom the
Alan Paul - Vocal Seducer
Cheryl Bentyne - Songsiren
Trist Curless - Amazing
Laurel Masse - Songbird

Through all these years who could ask for more!

[romaynecarlin]

so glad they found someone that is so good to fill tim's shoes...fantastic concert!

I've been a fan of the Transfer since I was 10, and their first album was released. Yes, the one after Tubby the Tuba!! Seen them 5 times in concert over the years. They're getting on a bit now but their years, no make that decades, of experience, shines through in the sheer quality of their singing. In my opinion, still the worlds premier vocal group. I cried when Tim Hauser passed away. He was one of a kind. However, Triss Curless has stepped in to fill the bass part and he's doing a magnificent job. The Transfer still sound like the Transfer, even after all these years. Long may they reign as the best! I've been in a vocal group myself, so I have some experience with this kind of close harmony singing. When Janis belts out the last verse of Operator, or sings Mystery, or many other legendary songs, it still after all these years gives me goose bumps. Way to go!!

I loved Manhattan Transfer.
Great artist Forever！
Thank you

First heard them on TV in 1975 at the MDA telethon, I was nine, and literally mesmerized by them. I met Janice in 86 and had the privilege of singing with her! I've seen them in concert easi l y a dozen times and I absolute love them! I could have did this Medley with them due to how long I've been singing these wonderfully arranged tunes! Consistently awesome!!!! The new guy is good but I dearly miss Tim's personality!😢

[peterlewis]

Timeless, fab, wonderful, i will always be a fan.

[heatherreyes]

Good thing I saw this video. I listened to this magnificent group way back when I was 7 years old, bec. of them I love music . You ignite my soul again.

[DawnHMK]

I cannot love this more. Thank you WDR Klassik for capturing and sharing this beautiful concert. I was lucky enough to see the final concert at Walt Disney Concert Hall, and many, many MT concerts in halls large and small since 1980 for me. We are all the richer for their amazing performances.

[jpats]

Beautiful! Just sheer heaven listening to these extraordinary people.

[triplejazzmusicisall]

YAY at last people have caught on to this amazing concert. An outstanding performance from everyone involved.

[自然愛好家-fo]

I am happy to have a chance to watch this YouTube. I had a good time. Thank you!!!

[carlosleon]

MT just like NY Voices are always at their best with this brilliant orchestra. I LOVE they way MT just keeps on rocking! I also admire the audience's respect for American artists and GET DRESSED! I miss those days of dressing up for concerts! I still do! Cant wait this pandemic is OVER so I can GO to a real concert.

[gandalfcandaza]

Wow, my favorite the great Manhattan Transfer. Their music is timeless, brings the youth in me. WDR Funkhausorchester complemented MT's music. Thanks for this video.

[craigb.franklin]

The guy on the clarinet is fantastic! Sound just like Benny Goodman.
