Amazon.co.uk Review
The late 1950s were tough on Judy Garland, but this live recording, cut on April 23, 1961, at Carnegie Hall, would (rightfully) bring the legendary icon back into the spotlight. ILive/I would go on to win five Grammys, be Garland's bestselling record, and confirm that, yes, on certain levels, she still had it. Her vocals are as strong as ever on these tunes, and Garland has fun with an audience obviously enraptured by her charms. She's self-deprecating where necessary--on "You Go to My Head" she forgets the lyrics but keeps improvising. But mostly she just shines, especially on tunes she made famous, such as "Come Rain or Come Shine", "Stormy Weather", and "Over the Rainbow". This is easily one of pop music's greatest live recordings and a fine testament to Garland's recorded legacy. I--Jason Verlinde/I

There are not many live recordings of this age that can boast such a long re-issue history, but this one defies all belief. First brought out as a double album in 1961 and remaining weeks in the No.1. spot, reissued countless times thereafter on vinyl and finally making a single CD appearance in an abridged form at the end of the 1980's. This abridged form resulted in a deluge of complaint letters to Capitol from angry fans who(quite rightly) were outraged that the definitive Garland Live recording (For that is what it is) should be butchered in such a way. Subsequently, Capitol re-issued the CD as an extended cd set, restoring much of the evenings banter and storytelling by the talented Miss Garland. DCC Classics finally got their hands on the Master tapes and beautifully restored more of the concert.(The running order corrected and previously inserted studio tracks removed and original tracks replaced). This sold as a 24k Gold edition for Audiophiles and at a price.. And here we are again, 40 years on, fully restored and sounding as fresh and alive as she did on that magical evening of April 23 1961. Miss Garland shimmers and soars. The voice a little tight and dry at first, but boy! does she shake that off and take you on a musical journey that you will find hard to file away or forget. A one in a million........buy it!

Bear with me as I get flowery and overdramatic about this album. When I bought it on vinyl back in the eighteenth century it seemed a terrifying amount of money to spend on a bit of plastic but it was worth every penny and still is now it's on CD at last. It's probably the most uplifting recording I have, hideously tasteless in parts and seeping copius amounts of over-the-top emotion guaranteed to make most reserved Brits cringe but at the same time quite wondrous and life affirming. It's an album of monumental mood swings, Chicago knocks you over energy and va-voom, How Long Has This Been Going On has you sobbing melodramatically into your coffee and then suddenly If Love Were All, breaking your heart; the most exquisite ballad sung with uncharacteristic Garland understatement that gives it huge emotional impact. Her voice is by turns wobbly and strident but manages to heave and twang your heartstrings so disconcertingly that you have to do a little displacement coughing to hide it...pIt still makes me laugh out with happiness and the ironing goes by in a flash whilst in the company of such effervescence. Those afternoons I would put it on when my parents were out and sing along Very Loudly are amongst my fondest memories of adolescence - Judy and me against the world and determined to sing it into submission. Fabulous stuff.

Unlike some of the reviewers I am not a Garland fanatic.
br /
br /That being said this is an excellent album that clearly catches a moment in history. These live versions are superior to many of the studio equivalents. The torch song element has not been diminished by anodyne production values. You can also sense the rapport between audience and performer.
br /
br /Such is Garland's demonstrable enjoyment in this recording that you can sense that this is a moment of rebirth, without knowing too much of the biography.

Judy Garland absolutely sparkles through this live show. You can feel that she has the entire audience in the palm of her hand. I confess that I bought this CD after Rufus Wainwright announced that he was reproducing the set at the Carniege Hall as I am a huge Rufus fan. I can see how he was inspired to pay hommage to Judy. I've read interviews where he says that he thinks that it is the most challenging collection of songs to sing that he could imagine.

As sacrilegeous as this may sound to the Rufus fans eagerly awaiting the releases of the London Palladium concert DVD and Carnegie Hall concert CD, I think the original Judy performance as depicted on this CD are head and shoulders what Rufus can manage (and I am a fan of his who attended the Palladium performance). The passion of both the perfomer and her audience is amazing and I urge anyone looking forward to the Rufus versions to listen to this. If anyone ever asks me, of all the concerts in history I wish I could have attended, this is it.
