Twenty five years ago this week (March 31, 1991), Whitney performed her first televised concert at Naval Air Station in Norfolk, Virginia for the Gulf War troops, and dedicated the show to the troops, their families and military and government dignitaries.
The concert was broadcast live on HBO and the cable network agreed to unscramble its signal, allowing it to be available to over 50 million cable households. The concert itself was only open to 3,100 people, all of whom were either military personnel or their families.
Here is Whitney’s moving performance of “Saving All My Love For You” from that show.
