Come Rain or Come Shine

[Jayee123]

Her vocal is dynamite for the most part. Where there seems to be a disconnect is in her facial expressions. Her eyes seem lifeless, poor kid, as if she's just been woken up and told she has to go sing. So much still to be learned from her.

[BrochtrupBean]

The first puk rock artist. Period.

[bradly2007]

hirchik back in the magical musical sixties Judy through my teen teenage eyes was the greatest & still is...newer technology has cleaned up sound of her output and now 40th Anniversary mix of Carnegie Hall is awesome and (2) divine DVD box sets of TV series amazing with lots of extras...now the passion & thrill of her tremendous talent is on lavish display for all to savor & enjoy on youtube...thanks for the comments & long live Judy!

[NFitalianGuy]

"THE LEGEND" does it again.. The best interpretor of songs EVER!

[jimmyb1]

WOW...!!! What an arrangement...! What a performance...!!! Thanks mandeley.

[bradly2007]

Magnificent & wildly soulful "Come Rain Or Come Shine" in 65 show how Judy could always come through with incredibly great performances and this one is like going on a great roller coaster ride that is so thrilling you don't want it to end...Bravo Judy and thank you for all these wondrous performances to enjoy over and over...

[hirchik]

@bradly2007 It's so refreshing to read comments about Judy's work that truly appreciate her efforts. She always, in my estimation, gave 110% to anything she did. Sometimes, her voice let her down; she was only human after all. I always think that it's a pity that the technology back then was somewhat archaic and, imagine what a thrill it would have been to watch video footage of Judy in HD and/or 3D!

[BrochtrupBean]

This is a person, an artist, being a genius. Painful, difficult to watch, brilliant, far ahead of her time, enjoyable, inexplicable, jarring, beautiful. None of it makes sense, but all of it makes sense.

[Jayee123]

@BrochtrupBean Wow, in just over two lines you've done a great job of summing up the Garland mystique.

[chrissen1]

If you think this is good(which it is) find the video on her where she sings it on her show...............makes this look a bit tired...she's at her peak on the version done on her show...rip judy

[waif55]

@chrissen1 True, but considering what had happened to her between the immortal TV series version (that incredible final note!) and this performance, she was in very fine form here. But...much of her control was gone.

[jasminemeow]

Wow! I love this song so much!!! Judy was just so phenomenal! Anyone with even half the talent of Judy should be thankful!

[RichardPears]

Absolutely spectacular! Judy Garland the star of stars! Sing it Dolly! That was brilliant! X

[MrJimbo622]

The way she sang it made it probably one of the most technical songs to sing. She pulls it off brilliantly, even though people consider that here she was on the decline. This is almost as good as the performance of it at Carnegie Hall-- just listen to that last note, she manages to hit, but can't hold it for as long as before. Completely breathtaking though, she is absolutely awesome. The emotion is incredible.

[mrspatrickcampbell]

Ed was said to be a homosexual

[Vengeance509]

Clearly on the decline, physically, probably broke out of her mind, life so radically different from her MASSIVE can-do-no-wrong success from just four years earlier ... she simply pops out and kicks butt on the Ed Sullivan show with one of the toughest songs to sing. Please, don't bother making another mold, ever. She broke for eternity, and she broke it time and time and time and time and time again.

[Vengeance509]

Breaks my fuckin heart. Literally singing for her supper. She should have OWNED Ed Sullivan. Of all the stars, she was the biggest earner for decades (deservedly). As she herself opined in her day, "I should be Bob Hope rich. Perry Como rich".

Duh. Judy was the biggest box office star of her era .. they truly had to put her in a class by herself, movie-wise, and made more money than all of them, but she attached herself to men who took ALL of her money away.

[damone77]

Judy sounded great on both Hollywood palace shows! Deference given to mrspatrickcampbell:)

[NFitalianGuy]

This was not her Lip synching it was her singing LIVE. If you notice when Judy had a little more weight on her tiny frame she sang richer and more vibrant! She is a true showman she only went on stage when she felt she could give 100% to her fans. That's why she had trouble with going on stage or in front of the camera because she was a perfectionist. I wish singers today would have the same reverence for their fans the way Judy did!

[iTobio2]

I actually love this arrangement. So much energy. Perfect for Judy's power. She fucking kills it! It's great!

[valvetrom]

I still don't like it,maybe its the mad bongo player,destroying the lovely tune and even Judy. A lot bands play it much slower. First time I heard it in Munich and they played it as a hardbop style ca

120 beats /min. this arrangement has been done by a mainic. Don't like the bigband syle: AWFUL

[KayPerestrello]

I love her voice so much.

[NFitalianGuy]

Ed Sullivan was on the air for 23 yrs I think 1954 -71 & He had a huge following. Every Major Star wanted to be seen on his Show & future Stars around then dreamed of being on this show. He was not one for emotion but when he gave a compliment after a performance the way he did here & how he introduced her, showed that Garland was still packing in houses. Back then you knew u made it if u made This show & The Tonight ( Johnny Carson) Show. I wish I had seen this live. Any 1 ever see her live?

[NFitalianGuy]

She looked so Good here, Very Healthy! I think she needed to be @ this weight. She was around this weight during Carnegie Hall & her voice was in top form . Here not so much But WOW! To Me Garland is always in top form. I dont think she was supposed to be waif like. Some people are just meant to be a certain way. When she is has a few extra pounds on she becomes more beautiful. She has a face You can't help but look at. In ASIB, James Mason said "I just wanted to take another look at you" Me 2 !

[thnurd]

She WAS showbiz!!! Glitzy, splashy, tender, intimate, bold, fascinating. And let's discuss the arrangers, conductors and instrumentalists who had the pleasure of getting to take that ride!!!

[Luchino]

Thank you for posting this. After decades of hearing this on the "Carnegie Hall" album, I get to view a contemporanious performance."

[valvetrom]

Awful

[AdamWhitely]

What do you mean as in: Awful

I don't understand.

[valvetrom]

Awful,as in simply awful, awful arrangement, rhythm, everything I just detest it.

I am sorry this is my personal taste. Please enjoy if you can.

[weightfeather1]

I'm not sure if Judy was in her best voice for this performance, but to me, part of the fault lies in the recording. It sounds to me like the video has degraded some and there is distortion in the sound track.

[poutybean]

I thought so too.

[crazyhorz]

I agree!

[xluckydayx]

are your ears working?

[143AC]

My God!

Ms.Garland was a small lady..but..in that white evening

dress? She looks like she's six feet tall! and her performance

of this tune..Fantastic!

[jstellamedialv]

Oh. My. God.

Simply spectacular. There is no one like her today, or in her own day.

She is unique. A gem.

[rachelmarie93]

her voice is absolutely amazing. and it didnt change much from when she was younger. she just sang so passionately. its gorgeous, never heard anything like it since her.

[drippinblood28]

Ughh...Judy Garland is great, but the bongos are a huge annoyance and make this song sound like crap!

[miggy90200]

That was her version...there's at least five or six versions of her doing this song with the bongos

[helenajesstarzak]

I love Judy Garland!

I love this song too!

[NFitalianGuy]

Judy give her all so much that her body and mind couldnt take the strain anymore. Before she died friends told her she will bounce back and she replied " not this time. my spring is shot" Metro Goldwyn Mayer and the real wicked witch , her mother, got her to where her whole life was a battle with inner demons and physical ones as well. I feel if her father lived longer she would have had a more normal life. MGM wouldnt have played father to her and her dad would have fought for her.

[92cableave]

people her problems were not solvable with aa

she was fed those drugs from 16 yrs old and became instantly addicted i blame mgm and her mother i am such a judy advocate if you can tell this was a great performance the power and beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[paul51]

She gave it her all here.

[FrankPalmerWhite]

She looks good here, RAWR :P

[Hawnzz]

Judy is originally from Minnesota. (Only a short distance from where I was a child. Growing up I heard many stories from my grandparents generation. (Most of which were not particularily flattering, but none directly about Judy herself.) Her family left when she was quite young and had what one could mildly call "colorful".

[CadillacL]

I first new of Judy from, of course, Wizard of Oz...As i got older (I'm 36 now) I got into her other recordings, etc. She had SO much passion its unreal. R.I.P.

[Mabon27]

This is really almost painful to watch. Judy had such a huge talent and it slowly declined from drugs. Really sad.

[gdubbyadub]

she looks pretty together to me ... I think you're looking at things a bit too much with the vision of hindsight ...

[gdubbyadub]

but then again .... this is pretty subdued compared to her performance from a year before ... a lot must have happened in a year

[wantsomecoffee]

say what you will, judy never gave bad performance. 100% +++++ every single time!

[qg6ff]

ehh

[bruniman]

clean and sober a Garland does not make

[mrspatrickcampbell]

We saw her show in chicago that year and she was not this good. by 1967 all the speed she was taking also took away her voice. would the voice have returned had she joined aa and gotten clean/sober for good? You bet!

[xxxyorks]

She sings this just as good if not better than Carnegie Hall all of which was superhuman for what had happend in the intermediate years before 1965.

[dave71us]

i discovered judy garland through the carnegie hall recordings..so it's a point of reference.

i really think that this performance is better than CH .

god i love her. i bet ed sullivan didn't know what he was in for that night.

[moseymama]

If you put Lorna Lufts(her other daughter)voice in Lizas body and Lizas stage presence Walla..you would have another Judy.

[veganswines]

!!!!A great love song!!!!

[Gummfan]

What a great performance. I think she was so good in 1965 then in Carnegie Hall and TJGS. Go Judy !!

I always love you. always, always, always !

[tikibutt]

I LOVE Judy! Ok, ya she killed! The 1956 album, JUDY, is still the best with a kick ass job on her own show, which I think was the best LIVE performance of this song...this was kickin though!

[paulsimpson123]

no shes not as good as at carnegie hall but still good tho

[collettestevie]

Very true!

[bradly2007]

Wow what a stunning performance...Garland sounded great in 1965 and it is sad that she didn't record during this period as she is as great as Carnegie Hall...Bravo Judy!!!

[chevychase]

God bless you Judy, up there looking down on us. There will never ever be another Judy.

[jjwltube]

There is no one alive today who is capable of this level of performance. I wish the various powers that be would release every live performance and get Pioneer to author it to DVD. The Pioneer engineers did an amazing job on her television series.

[ripley450]

what a talent, what a life

[XTINASCORKROOM]

I want to cry. I love Judy so much......My lifetime idol......X.a.

[thevanderman]

I wouldn't say this was on the same par as the Carnigie Hall concert (especially that last note), but it's amazing none-the-less. I wish she would have just stayed at this weight - she sounded much better then!

[Montavanni]

Exactly thevanderman . . . could not have said it better! Thanks.

[defundthewar]

Yes, she sounded so good at her natural weight. I keep going back to this video again and again to enjoy it.

[xxxyorks]

PLEASE keep this on here.

[Ottawarocket]

A true classic

Rocket

[stvolo]

We all loved Judy and now we have Christina who knocks us out eh Robby?

[Ottawarocket]

Right on Steve! That's right

Robbie

[bradly2007]

Judy was so underappreciated in her day and this was tragic...shows that in 1965 Judy had-it and was the greatest of them all!!!

[Montavanni]

Thank You doesn't begin to suffice! . . . great stuff! She sounds and looks great . . . like herself. I remember this one vividly as well.

[mrspatrickcampbell]

Are you sure this is not the carnegie hall audio? We never heard Judy sound this good after 1964. Never. If this the actual audio of 1965 it is incredible.

[mandeley]

Believe me, it is the actual vocal. Check out "I Loved Him", which she did a couple of weeks later. A work of brilliance. I have Judy's final concert on CD from 25 March 1969 and her magic was still very much intact.

[Montavanni]

Thanks again so much mandeley . . . would love to hear that . . . you're generosity is appreciated.

[defundthewar]

I have that same March 1969 CD and she sounds godawful, embarrassingly bad. It's the Judy in this Ed Sullivan clip I'd rather remember.

[mrparke007]

@mrspatrickcampbell Yeah, this is NOT the Carnegie vocal. The color she does in the middle is nowhere near the same. Plus, in this version, she loses it on the last note... yet it's still friggin awesome. God she is GOOD!!!!!!!

[hirchik]

@mrspatrickcampbell I wish commentators would take ownership of their remarks; e.g. "We never heard Judy sound this good after 1964". This is a matter of opinion and, of course, you're entitled to it. However, I believe that Judy's voice changed (as the human voice is inclined to over time) in the mid-1960s. Perhaps not as pitch-perfect, but certainly it retained its emotional brilliance.

[judyross28]

@mrspatrickcampbell hahaha someone dont know what there talking about, what are you talking about, judy garland didnt sound to good after 1964 ? this legend was marvellous and sounded incredible till the day she died !!!

[XTINASCORKROOM]

i wish i was half as good as judy garland......my all time idol and influence.

[defundthewar]

No question about it- Judy looked and felt better at her normal weight, as seen here.  Doesn't she sound exactly like 1961 Carnegie Hall Judy?

[FrancesLandgar]

Yes -- the words don't exist--BEYOND amazing!

[goldenera]

Thank-you so much for posting this! She is AMAZING!
