The one-hour show was filmed at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino.

In November 2014, the veteran singer opened up about his looks and addressed the rumor mill on The Jonathan Ross Show.
Barry said: “Jonathan, look at me, don’t I look my age?...That’s the way I’m aging…”
He jokingly continued: “Really, this is what I look like. I don’t know what the hell they’re talking about.”
Barry added: “It’s infuriating. This is me at 70. It is. I swear.”
The singer also poked fun at himself: “My hips are not what they used to be.”
