Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
In 1985, 16 years before her memoir became the basis for the television film Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows, Lorna Luft narrated this documentary focusing on her mother's "second career" following her years at MGM. The 59-minute retrospective (reduced from its original 90 minutes) collects comments from family and colleagues, shows clips from concerts at the London Palladium, Carnegie Hall, and the Palace Theater, a previously unseen 30-second scene cut from her famous comeback film, A Star Is Born, and scenes from her short-lived TV show.

Not surprisingly, some of the footage spotlights Garland's affection for her kids: she shares the stage at the Palladium with Liza Minnelli and appears with Lorna and Joe Luft at the Palace and sings to them on her TV show. And while many of the songs are shown only in brief clips, there are a number of complete performances, including a duet with Barbra Streisand of "Get Happy" and "Happy Days Are Here Again," her dramatically charged rendition of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" following JFK's death, "Ol' Man River," and "The Man That Got Away." And of course "Over the Rainbow" is here, in a 1955 performance that is the only TV recording of how she performed the song in concert: sitting on the edge of the stage, face-to-face with the audience. And it's a credit to Garland that even in hobo makeup, she lets the raw emotion of the song pour through. --David Horiuchi

- Great show!
I happily recorded this in 1985 when it aired on PBS and hung on that tape for many years, until the DVD was finally released. It's a terrific show!

And, in 1985, with the release of the entire "Judy Garland Show" on DVD still many years off, this was the only place to see many clips from that series, most of which, as Lorna said, "hadn't been seen for over 20 years" at that point.

I heartily agree with what everyone else wrote -- this is a great piece about the last 20 ... Read More

- Very good for the fan
The disc is filled with clips of Judy Garland in concert and on TV, so some of the image and sound quality is a product of the time, but it includes some great clips.

- Garland front and center
Judy Garland--The Concert Years gives people an excellent retrospective on her career after her hectic movie making days at MGM Studios. Hosted by Judy's daughter Lorna Luft, this fine documentary takes us through Judy's greatest triumphs during her concert years.

The retrospective begins with footage of Judy's song and dance numbers at MGM and it shows how these numbers became the foundation for Judy's concerts. We get some lovely color footage from "Till The Clouds Roll By" and some ... Read More

BEING A MUSICIAN, I LOVE GREAT SINGERS. JUDY GARLAND WAS AND IS A NATIONAL TREASURE AND WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED BY EVERYONE(ESPECIALLY ME). JUDY SINGS GREAT MATERIAL AND OF COURSE, HAS THAT MAGIC CONNECTION WITH THE AUDIANCE. THIS WONDERFUL LADY SINGS WITH AS MUCH POWER AND EMOTION AS ANYONE BEFORE OR SINCE. JUST GET THIS AND ENJOY.

- Tour de Force a la Judy!
Being too young to have seen Judy Garland in concert has always been a regret of mine. The energy she projected in person must have been truly unique. Well, for those in the same boat as I am, here's the next best thing. What a shame that professional footage of her concerts were never made. Her TV series, however, is represented here quite well. The duets, the comedy sketches, the solo numbers, all show what a versatile performer Judy Garland was.

Without the constraints of a movie script ... Read More
