It's probably for the better she was let go from the film. The final version would have humiliated her. Just the scene alone where Helen gets her wig ripped off and is bald underneath (original script version). Not to mention the gay slurs peppered throughout the film.

She would have been great in this movie.

Judy was painfully thin at this time.

who is the obnoxious girl on the recording

Her poses were awkward, as if she were terribly self conscious and had never been in front of a camera before. The giggling, joking and goofiness seemed inappropriate during costume tests as the director is trying to get her to cooperate. Another channel has the audio of them speaking to each other. She appeared drunk or high. Unprofessional.

The story goes that Judy took some if not all of her costumes when she was let go from VOTD. All I know is, when I saw her live on the Boston Common (I was there all day long to get a good spot), she was wearing that sequined pants suit.

I love the sequin pantsuit

Love Judy but this was not a role for her. Suffering from drugs and alcoholism it was best she sat this one out. But again too old to play the ingenue. But the role of “O’Hara” suited Judy 45 yo at the time. Of course Judy a seasoned actress could of pull off the role presented to Patty Duke. Either way you look 👀 at the decisions were correct. Valley of the Dolls was not suited for a beautiful star 🌟 like Judy who life had different levels of tragically events. Judy stay in her dignity. A STAR 🌟 THE BRIGHTEST STAR ❤

I have a gut feeling she didn't really want this role, because she didn't fit the character nor did she feel comfortable playing it. Fear and guilt took over.

she was nothing but a bone with some hair on it. she really dodged a bullet by not appearing in this debacle.

Did she at least get to keep the clothes?

Judy makes this campy song sound like a big hit!

She's hitting some pear shaped notes in this...

In the 30's, 40's & 50's Judy Garland was America's most beloved star. You can't beat that. Love is worth more than an Academy Award Oscar.

Lord, she looks so YOUNG here!!! It could be 1951!

The last one is lovely on her. Suits her.

She sang the heck out of that song. Much more feeling to it and not just a nice simple song like it was in the movie.

I was there. All of the other nights Judy came down the center aisle singing "I feel a song coming on". And that outfit !!! It must have been made of some indestructible material...she wore it for the last years. For those who don't know, she was supposed to wear it in "Valley of the Dolls". They let her keep it, since Susan Hayward took the part. Gee, I miss her.

A very silly song, but the lady made the best of it. I remember from a biographical film that an early vocal coach scolded her for fluffing a song. I think she never forgot that lesson and put her heart and soul into every song ever since. She becomes the song, unlike so many who merely use a song as a showcase for their voice. I think this is why she remains the best. And they say she was expert at performance. They'd run her through a routine just once and she'd have it down, including those extravaganza song and dance numbers in her movie musicals. These costumes were okay, except for that white gown. That one distorted her figure, making it look out of proportion.

She gives it a Broadway feel and her age really comes through. I prefer Susan singing, but I like how she looks better than the other actress. If only Judy wasn't so broken at the time, she really could have been wonderful in the picture.

4’9” and that anorexic. 😑 Surprised this unique artist even lived a year after this was filmed.

A strong performance with her number. Her outfits look good on her, although she is very thin. Too sad.

What's that crazy picture from or depicting? Judy sounds a lot like her daughter Liza on Cabaret.

This is fantastic. I just wish so many people had not been talking during her singing.

Very thin But She's had her Essence And that's 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

She was awfully thin I don't think she even ate but she waited all day long even though she recorded the song for the movie The director or the producer whoever it was made her wait all day long and just said tell her to try the costumes on and then she didn't get the job this is how you treat a legendary woman but she was spectacular and I love the fact that Lorna said she walked off with that last outfit and wore it at the palace

Perfect! Tsk for posting. I’d love to listen to the Palace performance. Exciting!

We love you from here in 2020!

She sounds quite good considering a month-long run must have been exhausting...for anyone. Some of the songs here sound better than the LP.

Love you forever Judy ❤️❤️❤️ RIP

Another legendary Judy's audio !~!! Thanks a lot !!!!!

These costumes are for a tall person, not a petite... except the pant suit... song is terrible... not in the right key for garland... holding words like tree, plant or grow are just terrible.... but susan hayward looked passable delivering the song with yet another voice doing it. I just don't think the public would accept garland in this bitch role... hayward was suited for it.

Judy Garland at her soulful best belting out "I'll Plant My Own Tree" as only she could do, scaling heights of the song with tremendous full tones, it is a stunning performance and definitive version...

Just from walking onstage. Incredible. We love you, Judy!!!!!!!

It's like Marlene Dietrich's applause record Judy used to talk about.

Patty Duke has an interveiw with Bruce Villanch talking about the Judy situation. Substance and some horrible enabling sycophants helped Judy disintegrate before she could even make it to the set. As Patty says in the interveiw she should not even have been hired. She was also so erratic during the I Could Go On Singing shoot that the crew referred to her as "It". She was a great Hollywood talent that was destroyed by the system and her own poor choices.

Is it known how many takes she did of this?

Yes, she's thin, but apart from the white gown with the excessively dropped waist which swallows her, she looks fine in these, and notice that costume designer Travilla didn't change a thing when Susan Hayward took over; she wears these same designs in her four sequences.

I LOVE JUDY GARLAND!!!! She's been my favorite singer since I was 12 years old. I'm 62 now. 50 YEARS!!!!!

Oh my god😧she is awfully skinny

I cannot help but wonder how she would of fared playing the part of Helen Lawson

WTF were they thinking casting her in this film? Even Patty Duke (who adored Judy) said she was so incredibly ill at the time and obviously could not even function. She loathed the director (whom she refers to as the meanest son of a bitch she ever worked for) for often (publicly) humiliating Judy.

YEAAAA JUDY!!!!!

Listen to Judy's voice...this is NOT the Palace! The Palace was in the 50's. Much younger voice then & she didn't sing those songs! Please correct .

I saw Judy perform at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles...pure love & magic. This sounds like maybe her last appearence in a night club. Thats why she & her audience are talking to each other.

This is NOT from the Palace..not from carnigie hall either...sometime around her t.v. showThe Judy Garland Show. 1964. not sure.

Again...this is NOT from the Palace..that was in the 50's! This is from CARNIGIE HALL! 1962. Thank you for posting this incredible piece of unsurpassed legendary history!

This is not Judy's closing at the Palace theatre..that was in the 50's. This is from Judy at Carnigie Hall, 1962.

I bought this album when I was 12 years old in 1968 and have loved Judy ever since. I'm 60 now!!! I wish the sound was clearer but I guess someone had a tape recorder in the audience and taped the show.Still very interesting to hear the concert from another night.

Judy Garland is my favorite singer since I was 12 years old. I'm 60 now!!!! I bought this album in 1968, which was a year after the concert and got hooked on her and her great voice.She is the best singer EVER!!! No one else compares.
