Transcription of the program (only a part about a performance at One Last Time)

Tony could remember the songs, but could he remember how to perform them in front of thousands of people? Lady Gaga knew it wasn't going to be easy.  

Lady Gaga: And you know, Anderson, for the first couple of weeks that I saw Tony since COVID, he called me, "Sweetheart." But I wasn't sure he knew who I was.

In rehearsals this July, she found new ways to connect and communicate with her old friend - when asking him questions she'd keep it simple.

Lady Gaga: For example, if I were to say, "Tony, would you like to sing 'Love for Sale,'" he'll say, "Yeah." And if I say, "Tony, would you like to sing 'Love for Sale' or 'It Don't Mean a Thing if it Ain't Got That Swing,'" he might not have as easy of a response.

Lady Gaga: When that music comes on (SNAP), it's-- something happens to him. He knows exactly what he's doing. And what's important for me, actually, just to make sure that I don't get in the way of that.

On opening night in early August, Radio City's 6,000 seats were sold out. It was Tony's 95th birthday and his fans were waiting.

Lady Gaga opened the show. Backstage, Susan did her best to remind Tony what was happening.

Susan Benedetto: We're gonna watch Lady Gaga's set.

Tony Bennett: Right.

Susan Benedetto: And then you're gonna sing. OK?

Tony Bennett: How many songs am I singing?

Susan Benedetto: I'll tell you what you're gonna sing.

When it was time, they walked toward the stage together. Then, the lights went out and the curtain went up.

Susan Benedetto: Well once he saw the audience, and, you know, and he raises his hands, he's-- I knew we were alright because he became himself. He just turned on. You know, it was like a light switch.

There may have been a few missteps, but the crowd didn't care - it was Tony's night and the old crooner was in command.

He sang more than a dozen songs and got at least 20 standing ovations.

When it came time for Lady Gaga to join him for some final duets, listen to what Tony said as she appeared on stage…

Lady Gaga: Hey, Tony!

Tony Bennett: Woah, Lady Gaga!... I like that!

Lady Gaga: That's the first time that Tony said my name in a long time.

Anderson Cooper: Really in all the weeks leading up to it, he hadn't said your name… wow.

Lady Gaga: I had to keep it together, because we had a sold out show, and I have a job to do. But I'll tell you, when I walked out on that stage, and he said, "It's Lady Gaga," my friend saw me. And it was very special.

And at the end of the night, Lady Gaga was there to walk Tony Bennett off the stage one last time.

Lady Gaga: It's the last thing that I-- said to Tony on stage was-- "Mr. Bennett, it would be my honor if I could escort you off the stage." And he said, "Okay." And I did. And, just simply being the woman that got to walk him off stage, that's enough for me.

Lady Gaga: You were so amazing.

Tony Bennett: The public loved it.

Lady Gaga: They did, you were, you were spectacular… Everybody Mr. Tony Bennett!

Susan Benedetto: I thought it was a triumph really. It's, like-- you know, climbing Mt. Olympus, and he made it.

A few days after that triumph, we met Tony and Susan on their daily walk in Central Park.

Anderson Cooper: How did you feel about the concert the other night?

Tony Bennett: I don't know what you mean.

Anderson Cooper: I saw you at Radio City. You did a great job.

Tony Bennett:  Oh, thank you very much.

Tony had no memory of playing Radio City at all.

Anderson Cooper: Is this a sad story, Tony Bennett's last performance?

Lady Gaga: No. It's not a sad story. It's emotional. It's hard to watch somebody change. I think what's been beautiful about this, and what's been challenging, is to see how it affects him in some ways, but to see how it doesn't affect his talent. I think he really pushed through something to give the world the gift of knowing that things can change and you can still be magnificent.
