She's at Radio City Music hall
I love Liza. Was glad to see this one now on DVD. But, it looks like a 1:33 version stretched to widescreen. But, a few adjustments on my TV corrected it and made her look less fat-legged. Halfway through she is on stage with what looks like the dancers from the Radio City Music hall where it was recorded. Aren't they called the Rockettes? Well, that made the show and Liza sings "New York, New York," while the other gals do a parody of Liza's songs while Liza looks on in amazement. It is on Amazon and hopefully some of her other concerts will soon be available too. I haven't bought Liza With a Z, yet. I keep forgetting to look for it, knowing it has been issued on DVD.

A GEM
The entire concert is absolutely wonderful. The songs that keep going over and over in my head are So What? and Imagine. Thank you, Ms. Minnelli.

Great! But not perfect...
Liza shines in this wonderful created concert/Special. One thing I really like about this DVD is that its not Liza trying to re-record her greatest hits. In this concert, she did yes, sing some of her classic hits. But most of the material sung in this concert where not typical Liza songs. Such examples would be "Live Alone and Like It", "So What", "Sara Lee", and "The Men's Medley" were all new great new songs for Liza to introduce into her songbook. Their were although some things that I didn't like about this performance. I felt that at some spots through out the first act Liza is singing so low, and backing away from the power of the song's moment, and it becomes hard for you to understand what she is trying to sing. In other words you could say at some parts she seems to mumble. But through the second act she was totally fine, due to most of the songs in the second act were uptempo; Which brings me to my next pint. Most of the songs in the First act were ballads. Their is absolutely nothing wrong with ballads, but In my opinion I think the first Act should have been longer, and started out with more up-tempos. Then after about maybe four up-tempos, then go into a pattern of ballads and up-tempos. Instead of doing ballads straight in a row. Like how the first act did at some points. As for the second act, I think it was perfect. Especially for the Men's Medley, Liza and her dancer did a great job of incorporating so many different types of songs into this medley. The one thing I Did not like about the second act is this whole Bob Fosse, Imagine, Smile medley thing. I'm glad it wasn't in Liza With a Z because I felt it dragged on for way too long. It looked like Liza and her dancers were doing a very bad imitation of Liza's performance of Bye, Bye, Blackbird in Liza with a Z. Besides that, the second act was perfect. Some great songs were the "Here I'll Stay Medley" and "The Man I Love" I would DEFIANTLY recommend this to any Liza, Broadway, of showtunes fan. It is full or great numbers, and terrific dances.
