Classic Whitney: Live from Washington, D.C.

The concerts were held at historic DAR Constitution Hall in Washington D.C., on October 3 and 5, 1997.

The second-night concert was broadcast live via HBO, which was her third HBO special after Welcome Home Heroes with Whitney Houston in March 1991 and Whitney: The Concert for a New South Africa in November 1994.

[1] Houston said her one-woman show was especially significant because it was occurring during the 100th anniversary of opera singer Marian Anderson's birthday.

[2] In his book Tinderbox, James Andrew Miller's wrote that the special was viewed as a debacle by HBO.

Houston performed over 20 songs in the concerts, including some of her biggest hits, including "I Will Always Love You", "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)", and "Greatest Love of All".
