Even Judy"s late in life voice here is still mesmerizing and superior to some of the present singers in their prime! SHE ALWAYS owns the stage with a charisma unsurpassed!
As a lifelong Judy fan and seeing her in person twice I can sincerely tell you that that movie was crap!!! They took 10 years of Judy's troubles and made it seem like all this happened during her Talk of the Town engagement. It's just not true. That engagement had 95 percent excellent reviews. Please... Forget the movie!! God love you Judy Garland!!!!
She can take any song and make it her own as if she herself had written it. Performing all her life, chewed up and spit out many times over, and she still gave such a sincere intimate performance of this thin but lyrical song. One of my favorite albums of all times at Judy at Carnegie Hall.
I’m just amazed to find that this footage exists of Judy beautifully singing this great song! I’ve heard the audio track which was released at some point on a compilation album of rare recordings. And, I’m delighted to now see it, too. Thank you for sharing it! ❤❤❤
Thanks very much for the kind words about the audio restoration. Scott Brogan, who runs The Judy Room, did a great job pairing the restored audio that I did to the existing video for this item ("His is the Only Music That Makes Me Dance") as well as the duet with Liza ("Happy Days Are Here Again/Get Happy"), which can be seen in another The Judy Room video. There were two of these joint Judy and Liza concerts at the Palladium, which were something like 10 days apart. Both were supposedly taped in full by Capitol Records. When we were looking at what we could find of these two concerts a couple of years ago, we discovered that both mother and daughter were in far better form at the second concert (as evidenced by these two videos), yet most of the Capitol release was inexplicably taken from the first concert, where Judy sounds like she was sick. By the time of the second concert, it appears that she had substantially recovered. We also discovered that the audio version that has circulated privately among collectors, said to be the second concert, is actually a combination of the two. There had to be some explanation for Capitol's choice of the poorer concert for release, but we don't know what it was. Many people regard this Palladium album as the low point among Judy's Capitol recordings. As shown by the second concert, she had not lost her voice--she was just way off form, undoubtedly sick, for the first concert.
MORE. Scott has the dates right. The second concert was a week after the first. And Scott is of course right that the 55 minutes of the second concert is what survives of it, at least that we can hear. I do recall that both concerts were taped by Capitol. I will have to see where I read that.
The quality of this video is so very much more clear and the sound is also beautifully restored like it was just recorded yesterday! Please, is there any chance that you will continue your work and restore the entire concert? This would be a very great and awesome addition to the Judy Garland legacy!🤗🥰💌
Judy is so gorgeous with that LUSH accompaniment. Those London musicians gave their all hosting Judy. It all sounds so perfect. Even if the audio is restored.
mesmerizing iconic Garland performance. one of her all time bests from the sitting position singing directly to HER audience to the half stance effortlessly gracefully maneuvered to the full on ending. Streisand never did this song like this even
Me too! However, when Judy sang this song from the Broadway production of "funny girl" , Barbra for some reason, never ever sang/or performed this song ever again! Maybe it was a tribute to her biggest and her most beloved star. (Who she had idolized since her childhood). I truly think that judy's version is much better). When Barbra was asked why she has never recorded the great torch song "if he walked into my life today" from the Broadway musical "mame", she quickly answered "this song belongs only to Eydie gorme' (who incidentally had won a Grammy award with this song for the best performance by a female singer in 1967). She also said, " I could never sing this song better or anywhere near as good!"
I know all too well (having been a Garland fan since somewhere around 1962?) that this concert was not one of her best, but - for whatever reasons - I keep coming back to this concert... Something about this concert (THESE concerts) fascinate me... Maybe because it's somewhere between her TV series (which I love) and everything-that-was-to-come-after... Her voice on this concert was ragged, for sure - but... like others have mentioned here - not as ragged as I remembered. Thanks for posting this - THANKS for the EXCELLENT remastering... and yes - I love this.
What Victor said. Fantastic...I kind of avoid this concert because -apparently- Capitol only released the worst moments...such a difference. she did a lovely job on this! Masterful remaster.
JUDY GARLAND la plus grande chanteuse de tous les temps, elle incomparable, son vibrato de légende, cette manière d'interpréter une chanson, la force de l'émotion. Dans ses rôles au cinéma, elle ne joue pas, elle est, ils sont très peu a faire cela.
Maybe Lorna will one day be nice and release the complete concert. Even Liza wrote in the recent LP anniversary notes that she would like a full release of the show.
How beautiful...born in 85 would've loved to seen her the voice is magical....not bad for live on stage and crappy sound quality any artist out needs to take notes
This is a beautiful arrangement of a lovely song. Even though her voice is a bit rough, she is magic! [An aside: I recognize her outfit from her TV show-I can’t remember which episode-she was known for reusing those costumes in her later concerts]
@@mckenzieprice2270 It is. Judy also wore it at other venues, such as the Arie Crown Theater. She wore another costume from her series when she appeared on the Ed Sullivan show, and when she married Mark Herron. As Bob Mackie said of her, the lady never had any money, and so he made things for her show that she could take home.
It's pretty close to the original arrangement that Barbra Streisand sang in the original B'way production. Check out the Original Broadway Casr recording - lush and beautiful 👍
I always thought it was such a shame that there was no really vocally superior recording of JG singing this, but this isn't as rough as I recall. Not her best, but not her worst, either. Shame the pipes were ragged for this concert.
What makes the performance perfect as it is is the fact that love can truly wipe you out when it's fought for and needed as much as she...and all of us...depend on it for survival.
She is incomparable, of course, but good Lord, give an award to the conductor able to lead a band while she was so erratic. By the way the lyrics don't make a helluva lot of sense in the show or outside of it.
The accompaniment is in a consistent and easy four, the melody is written in triplets- That is what is confusing your ear. As for the lyric, it is perfect soaring poetry. She misses one word but is such a pro that she intrinsically knows not to correct it since it will interrupt the feel of the triplets .(In the LIGHT of two eyes that adore him).

Freaking stage presence here even though not in best voice. When she stands up and belts last lines I think what a f...king legend!!
ONCE IN A LIFETIME VOICE! Judy had it all looks, Voice like no other, Acting Career and LOVE SWEET LOVE. RIP, JUDY,Judy,Judy😊❤!
Even Judy"s late in life voice here is still mesmerizing and superior to some of the present singers in their prime! SHE ALWAYS owns the stage with a charisma unsurpassed!
I remember seeing this live. What a talent she had, so sad and I miss her
Touchingly brilliant performance only could come from Judy, watch this over and over
She was a lovely person
Here after watching the movie...so sad
Me to..yes very sad
As a lifelong Judy fan and seeing her in person twice I can sincerely tell you that that movie was crap!!! They took 10 years of Judy's troubles and made it seem like all this happened during her Talk of the Town engagement. It's just not true. That engagement had 95 percent excellent reviews. Please...

It's wonderful how she takes that shaky "more him" rhyme and makes it sound perfectly natural. That's artistry!
The lady was one of a kind. Total class and bloody talent . Superb
So much depth so much realness this does not exist anymore this is the only time in history we will have someone as special as she was.
Plus no trickery with auto tune, all natural .
She can take any song and make it her own as if she herself had written it. Performing all her life, chewed up and spit out many times over, and she still gave such a sincere intimate performance of this thin but lyrical song. One of my favorite albums of all times at Judy at Carnegie Hall.
Strong voice and the control she has is phenomenal
I’m just amazed to find that this footage exists of Judy beautifully singing this great song! I’ve heard the audio track which was released at some point on a compilation album of rare recordings. And, I’m delighted to now see it, too. Thank you for sharing it! ❤❤❤

Sick, Judy was at least a hundredfold better than others in tip-top form.
I've heard she was hoarse in some of the footage bc she had been rehearsing all day as well. So her voice was warn out from that.
The quality of this video is so very much more clear and the sound is also beautifully restored like it was just recorded yesterday! Please, is there any chance that you will continue your work and restore the entire concert? This would be a very great and awesome addition to the Judy Garland legacy!🤗🥰💌
Her huge voice effortlessly hit the back of the auditorium. Stunning!
Judy is so gorgeous with that LUSH accompaniment. Those London musicians gave their all hosting Judy. It all sounds so perfect. Even if the audio is restored.
Gorgeous-swells the heart ❤️
There will never be another.
what an amazing voice! at her age! through all the abuse.. drugs, cigarettes, booze, alcohol.. etc.. still so good..
mesmerizing iconic Garland performance. one of her all time bests from the sitting position singing directly to HER audience to the half stance effortlessly gracefully maneuvered to the full on ending. Streisand never did this song like this even
Mesmerizing performance brilliant, Judy nails this one!
Even with a little voice trouble our Judy still nails it!!! Fantastic restoration! Thank you!!!
Absolutely sensational. I nearly always cringe at other singers doing Streisand songs, but this is powerful and emotional.
Me too! However, when Judy sang this song from the Broadway production of "funny girl" , Barbra for some reason, never ever sang/or performed this song ever again! Maybe it was a tribute to her biggest and her most beloved star. (Who she had idolized since her childhood). I truly think that judy's version is much better).

She is so pretty at 0.26 to 0.52. Her eyes just SPARKLE!
My mother loved her,she's been gone two years now,it's a link to my past
such a sweet soul:( she needed love so bad
Goddamnit! That fabulous womaaaaan

I don’t think her voice is ragged at all
What Victor said. Fantastic...I kind of avoid this concert because -apparently- Capitol only released the worst moments...such a difference. she did a lovely job on this! Masterful remaster.
I watch her here mostly because of her great effort to do well and her freaking charisma!! Even with her voice off she draws one to her
Wow. Great restoration

This is lovely. Thank you John Haley.
I will never tire of this clip. Thank you so, so much.
Thanks for posting this. I never expected to hear her do this.
When man in audience says "who cares"? lol people adored her even if high notes didn't come out. Our precious Judy!!
Thank you for sharing, Mark...
You're welcome! Always wild about Judy!!
Sensational!!!
Judy singing Barbra Im dead AF
Wonderful
Maybe Lorna will one day be nice and release the complete concert. Even Liza wrote in the recent LP anniversary notes that she would like a full release of the show.
How beautiful...born in 85 would've loved to seen her the voice is magical....not bad for live on stage and crappy sound quality any artist out needs to take notes
to Arthurs, beautiful lady that touched me with your magic
This is a beautiful arrangement of a lovely song. Even though her voice is a bit rough, she is magic! [An aside: I recognize her outfit from her TV show-I can’t remember which episode-she was known for reusing those costumes in her later concerts]
It looks like the shirt she wore when she sang with Liza on her show.
@@mckenzieprice2270 It is. Judy also wore it at other venues, such as the Arie Crown Theater. She wore another costume from her series when she appeared on the Ed Sullivan show, and when she married Mark Herron.

Godly
Life
Liza sang this on a tv show .
Mi niña
Who wrote that beautiful arrangement? bob in toronto
It's pretty close to the original arrangement that Barbra Streisand sang in the original B'way production. Check out the Original Broadway Casr recording - lush and beautiful 👍
Most likely, it was Mort Lindsey.
