My parents saw her 1 woman show on Broadway in the 60's and to this day my mother still talks about it. She said when the curtain opened the entire audience gasped and applauded and then for 2 hours she held the audience in her hand there was total silence while she sang, people cried over Lily Marlen and applauded and screamed bravo. After the show there were a thousand people waiting outside the stage door and she waved and kidded with them. Lets try to find anyone doing that today.
She is 62 here. Her brilliant self awareness came to the fore when after the Royal party had departed the press were clamouring for photographs of the Beatles leaving the other performers (Marlene included) waiting and ignored. Undeterred she walked up behind the group and linked arms with Lennon and McCartney . This was the photo that made the front pages of course....as she knew it would. She was a master of publicity.
brilliant, unique, terrific.... amd more and more. she knows how to do everything ... films, theaters, concerts, and every where she goes... never forgot she was a start....
I met Marlene when in the Army 1964: she was so nice to me, gave me her autograph. I have told the story thousands of time ever since. I pray she is in Heaven. A great lady indeed!
Oh my god I am so jealous lucky u was she really beautiful in real life to ,my dad saw rita Hanworth in Dublin in the 50s when she was married to the aly Khan and he said she was literally breath taking everyone just went silent she was just stunning but extremely shy god love her
She was So Mesmerizing!! Such a STAR...They Don’t Make em Like this anymore Folks!! A Beautiful Glowing Spirit...inside & out ;] GOD BLESS Her....Marlene Dietrich...What a Lady ;]
We’re so used to camp parody it’s interesting to see that this is a real performance, mannered yes, but that’s what gives it character and makes it so moving. Real feeing
The ever Lovely Marlene Dietrich never fails to entertain. No smoke and mirrors, no chorus girls, no tricks and gimmicks ... just absolute glamourous talent.
Icon and legend are wrongly used today. It takes time for someone to reach such a status. She is a real and true Icon and legend. I just wished i could have seen her live.
Marlene Dietrich. Patriotin und Pazifistin, in einer Person.Wir brauchen viele Menschen, wie sie einer war. Eine klare und unverrückbare Einstellung, was Freundschaft und Hilfsbereitschaft angeht. Eine Kämpferin gegen Ungerechtigkeit und Krieg, Hetze und Ungleichbehandlung von Menschen. Es lebe Marlene Dietrich.
@@Twentythousandlps Das ist leider so einfach nicht. So kämpfte nicht gegen ihr Vaterland, sie kämpte gegen Nazi-Deutschland. Ein riesengroßer Unterschied. Man muß das sehr genau differenzieren.
From the days when the Royal Vaiety Performance was a major event and attracted the greatest stars from all over the world, including the magical Marlene. I remember listening to this in my parent's bed on a tiny transistor radio. I was aged 9 but even then I think I recognised greatness.
I had the opportunity to see the opening Concert of The then New Southport theatre in May 1973 with Marlene Dietrich ,I was 24 now almost fifty years later I still have the special programme.She remains an icon.
Thank you so much for your comment! I totally agree with you! Could you describe Marlene? What was she wearing, how did she sing? Do you know if she would have concerts in tailcoats or jackets?
I have never seen this before, so I am - as an old Dietrich fan - very, very grateful to you. Thank you...!!! (By the way, is it the same Royal Performance where she met the Beatles and was prhotographed with them? I ask because she wears another dress on the photos).
A beautiful goddess and a lovely lady i saw her on so many interviews & she came across with no diva qualities she seemed so grounded & very humble ♥ ❤ 💖 sheila kelly oxford ❤
Shout Out to My Grreat Uncle George Fox...He is Buried in Somme’s Cemetery in France. He was a WWl War Hero...We LOVE Ya Uncle George & are Very Proud of You ;] GOD BLESS You Forever!!
Great video capture of Dietrich in her best vocal form. Too bad the video quality is not as great but I'm so happy it is here for us to see. I just watched and listened again. I wish more of her stage performing had been captured on film, especially from her Vegas days when she was THE ticket attraction and knocked out the whole world. Thanks again for this. It is wonderful stuff.
Lili Marlene was not a latern girl..this young soldierlove song informs us that he is longing to see his girl friend again ...the latern their Meeting point. He fears that he could be sometimes not be able to come...what will Happen than ? This is not a marching soldier song... like Marlene is singing here.. the Brits occupied this music like they did with Händel...and with the Vera Lynn version they added one Note making it from the Text and music to a Kitsch Song. Nothing to do with the original Lale Andersen Version which Marlene used later too.
@@nightwish1000 later after war...Marlene used the original softer Lale Version. . the romantic Original version..not the war propaganda Kitsch version made in England or US..( Marlene, Vera Lyn )sorry buts the truth )
@@marlenearchives Sorry my english is very bad..I use translator. My question is which year is this? And there is a complete recording of it. Thank you for sharing it here.

Thank you for that wonderful story you shared with us!!!
I swaw her in a concert in Brighton, Englan in the 60s and I still remember what a wonderful show it was.

The word "Legend" is used for anyone today. This woman is a Legend. Brava!

You mean at her usual concert or she gave performance in front of soldiers in 1964?

what you see here is a fine example of stage presence. Never will we see the likes again.

In case you were wondering- you probably weren't - the compere is Dickie Henderson.
Thank you! I was indeed wondering....

wie wahr!
I saw her in Dublin at the Adelphi. A wonderful success. Her interpretation unsurpassed. A true star.
@@kevinhough5018 Yes, she was a real star. And she is still shining
She was not a pacifist. She supported the US Army in its fight against her native country.

And also I want to say that you are a huge lucky, you could see her and hear the "live sound";)
@@marlenearchives I remember vividly her gown was a full legnth gold lamme one,She was magnificent.
@@duncannoelsmith3197 thank you for your answer!
Are you 74 years old?
SHE HAD A GREAT PERSONALITY. SHE LOOKS STRONG, WISE AND HUMBLE. NOT A NAIVE STARLET, BUT A DISTINGUISHED WOMAN.

Hi! Yeah, that the same performance! :)
This is her bodysuit type Golden Louis Jordan stage dress. After she changed into something Chanel like.
@@louisdewit4429 *Жан Луи.*
Impressive. Marlene in her strength. The presence of the Queen-mum and the young Beatles gave her a stir.
Thank you for everything Marlene! Here’s a little something for you: ua-cam.com/video/ZFgro4GnnT4/v-deo.html
Wow, I was about ten HOURS old when this was filmed - thank you for posting it! :-)
A true Legend and a Superstar.
So beautiful it nearly brought me to tears as I remember all I know says the rich will always abuse the poor in every way. Humanity is hopeless

So great to see such a rare video. Thank you so much!
Marlene is the best woman of world! Bravo, bravo👏👏👏👏🌹❤🇩🇪

Dad rode into Sicily on a motorbike and got to know the locals.

Don't complain about the video quality. It was rare to have any video in color in 1964 so we are lucky to even have this.
@@javiervalverde2374it should exist somewhere in the vaults in great quality as Beatles have their performance from that show remastered

Sorry but Lale Andersen had nothing of the stage presence and voice power when performing that song compared to Dietrich.
@@nightwish1000 later after war...Marlene used the original softer Lale Version. . the romantic Original version..not the war propaganda Kitsch version made in England or US..( Marlene, Vera Lyn )sorry
buts the truth )
WOW - Thank you very much !
Iconic. Legendary. Unique. Unequalled. RIP Diva, Anti-Fascist and Humanitarian.
She knew what was going....
We remember.
That's great!
Thank you very much for posting. So this is from 1963? Has this been colourised because we didn't have a colour service in the UK until 1967?
Hello, thank you for your comment.Yes, this video was colored by AL.
This was taken in November 4, 1963
Спасибо!- Песни как и Книги как и Знания не горят
*точнее Дитрих не горит. Она вечная,как пирамиды.*
Thank you!
Awesome!
ONE OF A KIND....WHEN WAS THIS ORIGINALLY TAPED...WHAT YEAR....

жаль, что у такого канала нет 19591968 подписчиков....
А затем, однажды, фанатки перестали приходить......
Really interesting
what year was this performance?
4 November, 1963
Maybe I would colorize her Balenciaga appearance too!😉
