Julio Iglesias — Live in Barcelona, 1988
Why this recording
Nearly two hours of Julio Iglesias on stage in Barcelona in 1988: at 1 hour 44 minutes, the video matches a full concert rather than an edit. Uploaded in 2014 by a private channel, it keeps the standard definition expected of a video source from that period. As a reference point, setlist.fm documents a show by the singer at Camp Nou on 8 September 1988, with a repertoire ranging from 'Me va, me va' and 'La vida sigue igual' to 'Un canto a Galicia', 'Quijote' and 'Too Many Women'.

Footage of a full concert by Julio Iglesias in Barcelona (Spain) in 1988, one of his years of global stardom. At the time, the Spanish crooner was one of the best-selling recording artists in the world: after the international success of “1100 Bel Air Place” (1984), he released the album “Non Stop” in 1988. On stage, he delivers a full concert of boleros, romantic ballads and Latin standards sung in several languages, carried by a large orchestra and the stage charm that made his name across every continent. Between Spanish-language songs and crossover hits, Julio Iglesias strings together the numbers that accompanied a generation, in communion with a won-over audience. This live filmed concert is a testament to Latin popular song at the height of its popularity in the 1980s. A live concert to discover for lovers of Latin song, crooners and Spanish popular music. (As the detailed setlist for this show is not reliably documented, it is not reproduced here.)
