Judy at Carnegie Hall is a live album by Judy Garland .

history

The double album Judy at Carnegie Hall is one of the legendary live albums in US show business. Judy Garland celebrated one of her numerous comebacks after health problems in New York's Carnegie Hall on April 23, 1961. The album, released by Capitol on July 10, 1961 , documents a show that is one of the greatest evenings in show business history. The album was on the Billboard charts for 73 weeks , 13 weeks of which at the top. At the Grammy Awards in 1962 , it was awarded five prizes: In addition to the awards for album of the year, for singer of the year, best technical recording and best album cover, there was a special award for the producer of the album.

However, the double album from 1961 contained numerous cuts in Garland's monologues as well as some changes to the original song order; In addition, one of the songs ( Alone Together ) was replaced by a studio recording with mixed applause because the concert recording of the piece contained technical errors. In 1989 Capitol released the concert as a 2-CD set, with additional monologues, but in the same changed order of the songs.

Only in the 1990s was it possible to digitally process the damaged tape to such an extent that the complete and unabridged concert, supplemented by Judy's complete monologues, with the original song sequence could appear for the first time in 2000 as a 2-CD set on DCC Compact Classics. In 2001 Capitol also released the unabridged original concert (in a different mix) as a double CD.
