Hollywood Palace 3-32 Judy Garland (host), Johnny Rivers, Van Johnson, Jack Carter 

This is when entertainment was professional & classy. Dear God, Bring back the 60's!

Judy looked great in that black sequined suit. And I loved her upswept hair here. My Mother had that classic hairstyle. I used to love staring and smiling at my Mother when she looked this gorgeous. The By Myself number was so divine. God Bless You Hollywood Palace for showing these showcase gems of TV past. It brings back such joyous memories of my youth. I'm crying with delight after viewing classic Judy...the woman with a wonderful lilting laugh and a killer dance step when she sang. Those gams went on forever, didn't they? Lol. My Mom copied her dance steps too and would dance while cooking in her kitchen listening to Judy. She do that cute little shuffle 2 quick step while wearing her beatnik black tights and oversized black sweater. God Bless Judy. So many women copied and adored her.

It's now been 50 years since she died...and is still the world's greatest entertainer!

Judy looks wonderful & sings with much soul, always love this phenomenal talent!

Drunk or high whatever she's still got more talent then 100% of the crap out in the past 20 yrs! Thank god these videos exist I was born in the wrong era! Wish I could rewind time and be 28 then class music is great movies are great and the legends are real not this bull crap today

Having had less than perfect vocal chords to do gigs, JUDY kicked ass on those arrangements. I know exactly how she felt. It's really tough to perform like that....you could hear it a little but for the most part she killed! KUDO'S Judy! .........TOTAL PRO.

This is the BEST performance of Johnny Rivers & "The Snake" Love Johnny Rivers.

BLESS GREAT JUDY! She seemed more healthy here than in in recent years.

...She looked so radiant and healthy here, just lovely.

Judy Garland does not appear drunk here. Judy talked the same way she sang and had an enormous sense of humor. Anybody who knew her will tell you the same thing. Sometimes, Judy's voice was not always at its best, but she sounded fine here. At the very worst, Judy might have blown a word from one of the que cards, in fact the audience seemed to react to it, but Judy recovered seemlessly. Judy Garland was a long time living legion by then, and The Hollywood Palace was filmed live. Can you imagine how terrifying it was to do live television? What a beautiful introduction and entrance they gave her! That was an awefully I long way from little Frances Gumm and her sisters in vaudeville.

Lordy to have class on TV today . Thank you Hollywood Palace & Judy & guest . This is entertainment !

i don't know guys this is 1966 and she sounded good. Drunk or not, she still was Judy Garland. I hear what everyone is saying, but we haven't had anyone like her since. Drunk, perfect or terrible there is only one Judy.

Judy Garland would stand head and shoulders above any half-naked, twerking nitwit of today; what passes for talent currently is an abomination and evidence of a culture in severe and likely terminal decline. At least wonderful shows such as these remind some of us of a time when our society had standards and class. I am grateful for them. Thank you, Hollywood Palace! Great work uploading all of these gems.

Johnny Rivers is underrated

Judy looked great in her last set where she wore that glitter black suit.

Jack Carter lived to 93. Passed on during 2015. He was Funny as hell & did a few Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts.

GOOD OLD DAYS OF TV

Great live version of Secret Agent Man. Great horn section!

It's incredible isn't it, how many people tend to jump to the conclusion that Garland is either drunk or 'high'? What is that about I wonder? I have a theory and that is there are some people who cannot tolerate their own vulnerabilities, are afraid of accepting their fallibilities. Garland was vulnerable, fallible and struggled emotionally. She depended on medication to function which, over time, wrecked her physically. There was no help out there for her, no rehab, no opportunity to recuperate to recover from her addiction. Therefore, to make snap negative judgements about her lifestyle or demeanour is, quite frankly, pathetic. This indicates to me a lack of empathy for others, an almost psychopathic disdain for the human condition. Garland did her damn best to function in spite of her struggles and managed (latterly literally singing for her supper) to perform for the entertainment of others. It really grates with me that there are some people who watch her performances on this platform and toss out inane comments about her. Of course, it really shouldn't matter because those comments are worthless and bordering on lunatic. But it reminds me of a saying, "..throwing pearls to swine" - meaning Garland's incredible catalogue of performances are gems far too precious for some people viewing them.

Lovely lady superb voice top class entertainer😊😊

why can't we have fabulous shows like this anymore? now they're all dreadful reality shows that insult one's intelligence. miss variety age--

LOVE IT. WATCHING IT MANY TIMES.🌝

Loved this. That's entertainment!

the color on this show is much better than a lot of others

Wow she was fab and sounded fab here, love her!

Judy Garland and Johnny Rivers together, a moment in time.

The sheer TALENT that was ; Judy Garland. Eat your heart out, Lady Gargle, Adele, etc.....

Yeah we all know the issues, but damn she hits the notes. LOL

OH Man these shows are priceless!!!!

at work now...lucky I have many ours by Johnny on a mp3-memory stick...put it in the stereo in my volvo tractor :)

This was Judy's second hosting gig of the season and the 3rd season finale.

Whatever you think, she seemed,fine. "What the World Needs Now" was a current pop song she didn't like, but the "Judy end" to it, made a great statement. You win some and lose some

Judy was a Pro.

Van Johnson is beyond awesome.

Van lived to the ripe old age of 92.

I love the arrangement of "By Myself"

Maybe she had a few highballs before she came out...you might too! maybe she was not in best voice...but she looked beautiful and healthy...ended on good notes! Highballs or not how thrilling to see Judy on any stage!

Judy looks great here.

Judy. WOW!

A few years after the series ended its run, executive producer Nick Vanoff produced THE JULIE ANDREWS HOUR, with Dick Tufeld as announcer.

She seems way healthier here. I wish someone knew if she was taking care of herself more around this time.

Thurl Ravenscroft("Tony the Tiger". "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch")is in the Dutch Masters ad!

Liza talks the same way today, that slightly slurred, drunken way of talking. I think it is just how they talk. It’s the genes.

The Minstrel Van Johnson.

Judy is fine, healthy and coherent here!!! Except for the first number, she was doing Judy in the way Judy could be Judy in 1960's. I would watch Secret Agent the show when it went into syndication just to hear the secret agent theme by Johnny Rivers, love that theme song, they don't do good theme songs anymore!

Johnny Rivers is one of my favorite singers...he's sexy too!

Luv Johnny Rivers!

Judy had love. ❤

Charlie Cairoli was really big on Children's TV in Britain.

The Van Johnson dance number had very tall girls…

Jack Carter was also on iCarly

Where are all the musicians when Johnny Rivers sings?

Johnny Rivers was just about too handsome.

leave Dorothy alone! lol

At 3:33 notice how the audience is staring and giggling.

judy was just wonderful here when she was sober and ok but it is sad it did not last.why was van singing?

Judy was great here. the comedian ripping women apart. that wouldn't fly today.

@ 3:31: The audience!

Ppl prove that they know there is no hell to be afraid of and no All Loving god.

ah those were the days it was hard yes and awful but those were the days

Something was definitely off here. She was off-key in parts of her opening number, and she looked like she was losing her balance. I don't think she was drunk; if she had been, they wouldn't have let her do the show. If anything, I suspect it was whatever medications she was taking that were affecting her. Still, there was nobody like her. She was fantastic in the clown number with Van Johnson. So sad that she died too soon.

Judy was blacklisted from ever hosting any major show after this one because she destroyed her dressing room after the taping; she was going through a divorce with Mark Herron, was a in terrible financial situation, with $12.000 in assets and about $500.000 in debt and her contract with Capitol Records was not renewed after a decade. She also had slept in her trailer and appeared during rehearsal with her street clothes, disheveled and half-asleep. Although she looks great, she was under the influence of something, which is sad to see.

Does anyone know who the left-handed, Pick style bass player is? I thought I knew just about all the studio and rock band and touring bass players of the era, but I don’t recognize this guy.

OK, Johnny Rivers thinks he's Conrad Birdie!!

Van Johnson did Music Man in England and I thought he was better than Robert Preston. He started off as a real hoofer and chorus boy and his first love was musical theater.

John Rivers was a hottie!

Rivers was outstanding, but wake me up when Jack Carter is funny.

To be fair, while Judy looks lovely and healthy, her voice and demeanor lead me to believe she was somewhat impaired. It was as likely she was affected by something out of a pill bottle than a booze bottle...or at least not by booze alone. Even the "slurry" and also lisp-quality, huskiness in her speaking voice and lower singing register was something she developed inexplicably later in life -- but it would become greatly exaggerated when high. Remember, this was filmed only three years before her drastic crash and burn leading to her death. Such a tragic loss and waste of talent at only age 47. On the other hand, it's a real kick seeing Johnny Rivers. Why, oh why, is he STILL not inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

I saw the rehearsals for this song. Judy hated this stupid song! 😂😂💕💕

Although clearly fading, and only a few years away from losing her battle, Judy still doesn't look too bad here. Actually, the impression I got from listening to her speak is that she's fighting loose dentures. I've spoken to people who have either recently had false teeth installed or whose teeth need adjustment, and they find themselves slurring and lisping quite a bit. Of course Judy's demons were well know so the other options might well be true, but I'm taking my cue from her eyes which seem bright here, not like some other recordings I've seen where she's in worse shape.

2:00

I don’t think it’s Judy but it’s the song. The words feel so pushed into the tempo. Just doesn’t feel natural.

The opening song was a Burt Bacharach hit.. Judy taped a complete dress rehearsal… the 2nd “AirShow” - garland flubbed the song-angry-she left the stage ..never returned until midnight-where she had to do the “Tramp” number with Van Johnson. Van stepped in to do the introductions..for the air-show..! Most expensive show - since the stage crew, engineering - musicians (orchestra) went into “golden overtime pay salary..Garland was in her dressing getting drunk with her fiancé..and his boyfriends..garland married him a week after. She did the TV show..! Producers never asked Garland to host -nor return- to the show..! - her fiancé had insisted Judy to - sing - the opening song..BUT- because of key shift in the song’s opening bars - Garland had a problem singing the song…..!

8-ball for Judy please!

Time code annoying.

"Call it dumb, call it clever..."Uh, the choreography on Johnson's "Guys and Dolls" looks like he's singing to a bunch of Fembots.

She looks to be under the influence of pain killers here, not actually booze. The set of her jaw is typical of people who talk on painkillers.

Hate that song. Seems like she hated singing it.

Poor Judy had one too many.

What the World Needs Now is a horrible fit for her voice. Not every voice can handle every style. Imagine Tony Bennett singing Let it Be or I Can't Get No Satisfaction... Horrible. Likewise here. And then they had to go and warp the song to let her finish it in belting Garland style, which turned an already highly unfortunate performance into truly cringe-making farce.

when television had class

vocal cords of steel lol!

talk about singing!!! :)
