I was lucky enough to have seen her 1987 Carnegie Hall Show (2 or 3 times!). It was amazing and something I will NEVER forget. Liza at the absolute top of her game. I was also there for her 1979 Carnegie Hall performance. After she did countless encores (and actually went off stage and took a shower!), the house lights came up and still nobody left. She came back out with wet hair in her robe (Halston was on stage with her and held her hand). She was very touched. She sang Mammy. Priceless.
What a gem to see this, a true hidden treasure for all to see. I saw this show when she toured with it later that year in the San Franciso bay area.. She did pieces of this show for many years after// just saw her a few weeks ago at the Hollywood Bowl.
I always thought this was a droning song that wasn't worthy of either Judy or Liza.....BUT I still listen in rapt attention because they perform it GREAT!! Wonderful, powerful, belting. AMAZING!!! This was wonderful to see. I didn't even know it existed. Thanks Jacub!!!
Just great! I also thought this song was a bit staid. I listened to the LP of the show recently and could not get this song out of my head. Usually it's "I Never Has Seen Snow" or "I Don't Want Him, You Can Have Him", but this song is a great one to bookend with "Theme from New York, New York" ending the show. I saw this show twice. Once on 5th row and the other from the top balcony. Liza plays marvelously in the nosebleed section. She seems to know how to include every member of the audience. My regret is that the rest of this show was not filmed. Oh, well....
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I THOUGHT THERE WAS NO FILM RECORDING OF THIS AMAZING SHOW!!!!!!!!! THIS IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! THE BEST CONCERT IN MUSIC HISTORYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!
I think can help a little with Davidalp1's question: Pappy is Liza's conductor and drummer, Bill LaVornga. That's what she called him. And my guess is that she came back out wearing the dress she wore for the second half of the concert, which was made of red velvet and matched the color of the seats at Carnegie Hall.
Thank you so much for this rar video footage, i am waiting so long since 1987 to see her greatest ever recording cd `3 weeks at carnegie hall `` now on video , thx :)
Sorry, I didn't see your questions sooner. I'm glad you like the video. I got this video in the late 80s from a Garland collector who has since "joined the choir." I posted it on YT some years ago before that account was closed. I'm not sure what she says to Pappy... The impression I get from the "Change your dress and come right back" is that she was to do another number, or at least pose for more picks? Not sure...
Something strange happen at the end of the song. She said goodbye and thank you very much. Then, she looked confused and someone said Liza could you change and come back.
Wow this is an AMAZING video! thanks SO much for posting it Jaycub!! Where did you get it from its fantastic. I love the double CD of Liza at Carnegie hall 1987, (its MUCH better than the 1979 concert on Vinyl), the Kander & Ebb medley at the end is THE BEST work/medley that Liza ever did! It is just SONG after SONG after Song of great hits... I wonder what she says at the end? Can anyone hear it? She says "Pappy" or something, but then what? And whats the bit about her "changing her dress"?
What was that ridiculous movie she was in with Bert Reynolds where she played a Lady of the night, with Bert Reynolds.? She made that pathetic man look so bad and such a second rate actor that he always was, it was hard to watch as she chewed him up and spit him out, actually I laughed so much, Bert must have really disliked her soooo much.

That Halston is exquisite !

I was there too! Fabulous she was❤
She never sang better than she did in 1987. Just AMAZING.
I went twice opening night and another time during the week she was great!!!!!!!
She was wonderful voice for the Carnegie Hall concerts. Go Liza!
That voice! So powerful
Liza blew the doors off the back of that beautiful hall. Own it, Lady!
both mother and daughter do a fantastic version of this!
Just WOW !
Has Liza EVER sounded better than this? Wonderful performance!
Liza is one of those rare troupers who gives 150 % to all of her audiences. Doesn't no matter how big or how small.
THE BEST!
Love this song and Liza's voice.
There must be something about the air in Carnegie Hall - this concert was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G - a complete triumph much like Judy had in '61
So happy to find this video! I attended this show back in 1987 ❤️
perfection...

I got to see her in concert at Carnegie hall. This was great

Music and lyrics by Cole Porter. He never wrote a bad song.
He wrote Brush Up Your Shakespeare
Wow, I have been waiting to see this video for years! Thanks for posting it! Liza at her absolute peak!
Just like mom ❤️.

I've been witing for this too..much thanks for posting...I love it!
Thanks for posting!! So great
Judy: iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Happened to like New York!
Liza: iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Happen to like new york
Something strange happen at the end of the song. She said goodbye and thank you very much. Then, she looked confused and someone said Liza could you change and come back.
Minor nitpick: Liza's pointing in the direction of Queens when she's singing about Hackensack.

Presentation MasterTouch
Jesus, you don’t want the dress rehearsal to be so perfect. That can curse opening night! 😂
This was good but Judy's version was amazing!
Liza is more of a performance than Judy
I prefer Liza's version. So much energy int it and her voice is so vibrant!
Also the orchestra arrangement is better
Liza has a more powerful rich voice
Much prefer her version, as well as the orchestral arangement
There is no core to Liza’s singing - she basically shouts
SOOOOOO RARE!!!!!! Where did you find this?! Amazing.

liza does it better than anyone!!
This was good. She can't sing behind the beat like her mom but she belted.
Judy had a more powerful and vast range.
No I don't. I really wish I did...

good tune for overture, musically, lyrics stale and bland....far from F. Ebb
