Driven by the Music brings this classic concert from Donna Summer to CD/DVD and LP. It was recorded on August 6, 1983 as part of Summer's Hard for the Money tour at the then-recently opened Pacific Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa, California. In front of over 18,000 fans, Summer performed material from the new album (the smash "She Works Hard for the Money," "Woman," "Unconditional Love" with Musical Youth) and its 1982 self-titled predecessor ("State of Independence" with her daughter Mimi, "Love Is in Control (Finger on the Trigger)") as well as her beloved disco classics ("MacArthur Park," "On the Radio," "Last Dance," and a medley from Bad Girls). She also looked back to the shelved 1981 LP I'm a Rainbow for "Romeo" (resurrected for the Flashdance soundtrack) and the Evita showstopper "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" and looked ahead to 1984's Cats Without Claws for "Forgive Me." For this edition, the CD has been paired with a NTSC, region-free DVD as newly "restored from the analogue video tape." The 2-LP colored vinyl iteration features the same 14 tracks as the CD and DVD. A digital version of the audio will also be available.
