Start spreading the news: Liza Minnelli’s long-lost live album recorded in the very heart of New York, New York is getting the deluxe vinyl and even more deluxe CD treatment from Real Gone Music and Second Disc Records!

When the Oscar, Emmy, and Tony-winning superstar (and future Grammy Legend) took the stage at the legendary Carnegie Hall on September 4, 1979, the concert was already a hotly-anticipated event. It would be the first of eleven consecutive shows through September 14–the longest run in the Hall’s history.

Not only that, but every show in the five-level, 2,804-seat venue was sold out. (This record stood until 1987, when an artist played three straight weeks of sold-out shows there. That artist? Liza Minnelli.)

Liza had the foresight to record three nights of concerts; two years later, in 1981, she began selling the limited release at her live dates.

The Live at Carnegie Halldouble album preserved Liza’s electrifying, roof-raising evening from start to finish, including definitive versions of familiar showstoppers such as John Kander and Fred Ebb’s “Cabaret,”

“But the World Goes ‘Round,” and “Theme From ‘New York, New York’” as well as fresh versions of contemporary pop and classic Broadway standards from luminaries including George and Ira Gershwin, Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim, Barry Manilow, and Melissa Manchester.

But, deprived of proper retail distribution, the album never reached a wide audience…until now!
