One Amazing Night

One Amazing Night is a 1998 live tribute show performed by artists such as Dionne Warwick, Elvis Costello, Luther Vandross, Sheryl Crow and others to honor the music of Burt Bacharach.[1][2][3] It was recorded live at the Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City with Bacharach himself conducting the orchestra and playing the piano. It was initially released on CD and VHS only, but in 2002, a DVD was released. There were some differences in the track listing; song order was changed. The song "This House Is Empty Now" performed by Elvis Costello is substituted for his performance of "God Give Me Strength" featured on the CD and was released digitally.[4][5]
