Judy Garland - Judy At Carnegie Hall (1961) (@256)

I read that Rufus Wainwright will release a cd and a dvd in December featuring the critically acclaimed Judy Garland shows that he gave last year. For those who don't know, Rufus gave some tribute concerts to Judy Garland's live album "Judy At Carnegie Hall" (circa 1961), where he interpreted it in its exact track order. The forthcoming cd and dvd will be from his concerts at Carnegie Hall N.Y. and London Palladium respectively.

See him performing "San Francisco" in London




Someone needs guts and a great talent to perform live these songs and this video Rufus proves that he has both. Here is a very nice pre-show article by the New York Times and here is the N.Y. concert's review from Mojo















The Rufus releases were a unique opportunity to upload the original album, which is in my personal top10 of live albums.

  1. Είδα ένα μικρό δείγμα τον Οκτώβριο, προς το τέλος της συναυλίας του στη Volksbuehne. Θα τον ξαναδώ και πάλι στο τέλος αυτού του μήνα (30).
    Στο τελευταίο CD του υπήρχε ένα αυτοκόλλητο που παρέπεμπε στο εξώφυλλο της Judy Garland, με το όνομα και τη φωτογραφία του.
    Περιμένω με αγωνία τόσο το CD όσο και το DVD.

    Όλο μας κάνεις και ζηλεύουμε με τις συναυλίες που βλέπεις...
