Without question or hesitation and full stop... Judy Garland at Carnegie Hall.
^lolol true that's a very good one
now how about one of the Supremes or one by DR, MW ;)
Oh. That would have to be one of the early Copa shows. Preferably the one where they were rumored to sing LILAIIMH.Quote:

as far as a supreme’s related show, Perhaps the final farewell show, or Rosses first solo show before she had even recorded reach out and touch.
I can not get over the fact that no one thought to video the show. I mean, its Judy. And Carnegie. Did anyone at all think it wouldn't be the concert of the century?Quote:

The Supremes at the Rooster Tail in 1966
The Supremes Vegas summer of 1967..

The Supremes final show on June 12, 1977 Mary Wilson's farewell.
I think one of the UK shows in 1965. Supremes, Martha & Vandellas, Tempts, Miracles & Stevie Wonder all on one bill - most of them at the peak of their powers.
An Evening With Diana Ross on Broadway!!Quote:

this is a tough one for me. I think i would go to the final farewell. I really debated about one of the Roostertail Sept 66 shows just because the girls seem really hot and had advanced so far from the Copa show. plus i don't think things were quite sooooo bad internally yet [[like they were in Vegas 67).
there's so much talk about the quips Mary was delivering, all of the other stars they couldn't get to sign releases for Sunshine, introducing Jean, etc.
judy did a lot of shows back then and was sometimes dismissed as problematic, etc somewhat clouding the sheer genius of her art. No,one could touch her and everyone knew it - including Judy. How amazing be be so gifted that the likes of the greatest singers of the time never intimidated her…… Ethel Merman, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Barbra Streisand…… She wasn’t even 5 feet tall, but her voice, even past its prime, could not be equalled I am sure no one filmed it because it’s not a very big venue , and really it was just another Judy show…… Until it happened.Quote:

Was Pantages recorded at all? Would love to hear it, but nothing shows up on Amazon. Or was it released with a different title?Quote:

Maybe its Carnegie as a venue, not Judy's producers? Perhaps it's not good for filming. I splurged and bought the DCC gold disc version of Judy at Carnegie and its a very different listening experience. Other than keep the mixing very minimal, they left in all the chatter. Occasionally when I put on the record, I can't get through it and have to go back to the DCC version.
Great choice. I was 4th row center audience for one of the shows and it was utterly epic.Quote:

Hey MotownManiac, I was there at the Pantages, too! Unforgettable night. She was Home, with her family and Motown family [[Berry, Smokey, Brian, etc.) I never saw a more enraptured audience. If I didn't get to see Diana in concert again, I'm happy I was at the Pantages. My other favorite Diana concerts were the Ahmanson Theater [[which was recorded for An Evening With Diana Ross) and the Hollywood Bowl in 2016 [[another Family affair).Quote:

judy at Carnegie, I can only listen to the full show. I WANT To hear over the rainbow vamped forever after Swanee and After You’ve Gone. I’ve been playing it a lot lately, ditto Judy In Hollywood and my faves from the tv show. It’s possible that The Supremes Would have done her show in the second season if it got renewed.

The audience starting to lose it, and the air was so thick with electricity and energy and she was aware of it, anymore and she would’ve lost control of the audience and she turned around walk towards the back of the stage and finished the song with her back to the audience because I think even she was afraid that something unparalleled in the history of physics was about to happen. I’m sure lucky will verify this.
The new show, or should I say current show, LOL, has more today than yesterday, but the look of love and take me higher medley. I can’t remember if she did I am coming out or not, but she must.
I was lucky enough to see some of the performances that you guys listed above, but something that I wish I had seen was the Farewell Performance of Diana Ross & the Supremes.
Also, the comments about Judy Garland were interesting to me. I only recently appreciated her talent and that she was one of the World's Greatest Entertainers. I would have loved to have seen her perform at the Astrodome with the Supremes.
Judy is back in the news again with a movie playing called JUDY, which is about the last year of her life. It was great. And this weekend, I saw a musical about Judy's early beginnings called CHASING RAINBOWS.
It sure would have been nice to see Judy Garland & the Supremes together.

No one could touch Judy......not even close. Not even miles away. Not quite 5 feet tall and she blew the house down even during an off night. I highly suggest her TV series clips as a barometer.... As long as he needs me, dirty hands dirty face, just in time, medleys with Streisand and Martha RayE.... Thanks for posting that Judy stuff - it’s very likely that that concert grossed $200,000 or more which was gigantic money back then, but Judy never had a dime.
I could not agree more. That Carnegie Hall concert is the pinnacle of pinnacles. It astounds me every single time I listen to it.Quote:
