Judy and Liza at The Palladium

Paul Gambaccini recalls the first joint stage concert by Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli in 1964 at the London Palladium. From 2005.

Paul Gambaccini listens to the album and goes backstage at the Palladium to relive the night it was recorded with fans, musicians and crew.
