The Judy Garland Show - Vol. 1 DVD

Fresh from her off-Broadway debut in Best Foot Forward 17-year old Liza Minnelli was already displaying signs of a talent that would go on to win three Tony Awards and an Oscar. This is evident both in her solo work on the show and in her duets with mama. Although Judy and Liza had shared several stages before their songs were always impromptu and so this 16th July 1963 taping of Show #3 is the first official performance of mother and daughter (a year later they would perform two sold-out joint concerts at the London Palladium). Another highlight is Judy's premiere... rendition of As Long As He Needs Me from the musical Oliver hauntingly delivered. It is also evidence of her ability to refuse network interference by singing the word hell as written for the song against their wishes. The TV series is the only existing audio and video record the world has of this legendary icon at a physical and vocal peak as an entertainer (not as a character in a movie). The joy warmth humour and soul she displays here will allow you to know what the original diva was like as a person as well as a performer. Tracklist: 1. All The Clouds'll Roll Away (Liza) 2.
