A Hot Summer Night

A Hot Summer Night was filmed and recorded live on 6th August 1983, at the Pacific Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa, CA, with an audience of 18,000 fans, during the second-leg of Donna Summer’s 1983 Hard For The Money tour, which supported the recently released She Works Hard For The Money album.

Restored from the analogue video tapes, this is the concert’s debut CD release and therefore the makes it a perfect sequel to 1978’s Live And More. The set-list includes MacArthur Park, Love Is In Control..., Bad Girls Medley, On The Radio and Last Dance, as well as performances with special guests Musical Youth, her sisters Dara and Mary Ellen on an extended showpiece version of Woman, as well as closing the show with her eldest daughter Mimi, performing State Of Independence.

The essay by noted US writer Christian John Wikane, includes newly conducted interviews with film director Brian Grant, executive producer Len R. Epand and internationally renowned choreographer, Dame Arlene Phillips.
