Barney in Concert is a special live show featuring everyone's favorite purple dinosaur, Barney! This fun stage show was filmed at the Majestic Theatre in Dallas, Texas, on March 14, 1991. It was later released on video for everyone to enjoy at home on July 29, 1991. This concert is part of the Barney and the Backyard Gang series, which later led to the popular TV show Barney & Friends.
What Happens in the Show?
The concert begins with an announcer inviting the audience to say some magic words. Then, Barney makes a grand entrance, jumping and dancing to his famous theme song! Everyone claps along. Barney sings "Everyone Is Special," reminding the audience that each person is unique and important.
As the show continues, six kids named Michael, Luci, Amy, Adam, Derek, and Tina come out. They introduce themselves and perform a cool rap song. They are dressed in yellow T-shirts, blue shorts, and white shoes. Later in the show, Barney introduces his friend Baby Bop, who joins in the fun for the rest of the concert.
The show wraps up with some classic songs. They sing "You're a Grand Old Flag" and Barney's very favorite song, "I Love You." After the final song, Barney, Baby Bop, and all the kids bow as the audience cheers loudly. Barney then blows kisses to everyone, ending the concert on a happy note.
