| I was there too and I have to add Madeline Kahn as a highlight for me. For those that were not there in person, the broadcast re-ordered the songs and dropped a few. |

| I agree. Kahn's number was wonderfully sung (and staged, albeit minimally). | |

| There was a time I could have rattled this off by memory, but alas... :-) Your best bet it to take to google as both the truncated broadcast (as a DVD) and the complete 2 disc audio recordings were commercially released. You should be able to easily find the song list for each and compare them side by side. You can see not only what was cut for the broadcast, but also how the songs were reordered. Note there was also a 1 disc highlights audio CD released. You'll want to be sure you are looking at the 2 disc version for this inquiry. This is one of my favorite Sondheim concerts. I love the way they brought together the worlds of musical theatre, opera, jazz, cabaret, and even a little alternative, as well as featuring some symphonic treatments. Also so grateful that Garber and Cassidy were on hand to present something from the then-new Assassins, which usually gets ignored in revues (I get why). Sadly, the one number from Pacific Overtures (Pretty Lady) was omitted from the broadcast, but at least it was done! I had originally recorded the broadcast from PBS onto a VHS tape and it was watched every day after school for many months...sometimes to my parents dismay. And it has, for me, the definitive versions of Being Alive* and Not A Day Goes By. *caveat that I think this is the definitive version of the shortened version of this song. A true definitive version would have to include the whole song, and for that I would go with Larry Kert's |

| I'm so happy I started this thread. It is bringing back tons of good memories. I agree with you that Ms. Peters SLAYS "Not a Day Goes By." |

| Liza and Billy had two songs: "Back in Business" and "Water Under the Bridge". My memoroy is fuzzy, but I believe "Bridge" is from something never produced called "Singing Out Loud." "Bridge" was not aired. It is on the CD. The performance of it is fine, but you can see (hear) why they cut it from the already jammed roster on the broadcast. There may have been others, I don't know. I was not lucky enough to attend. |

| Liza's "Water Under the Bridge" was shown as a bonus during a PBS pledge telecast. See link below. Note that this concert features the first three musical Norma Desmonds: Patti, Glenn, and Betty. They would all be doing "Sunset Boulevard" within two or three years after this concert. |

| What a lovely way to wake up on Sunday morning. Thanks for posting (and discovering!) that video. The song is much better than I remembered. Stritch is such a great collaborator for Liza, and she sings this superbly (no surprise there). And whatever became of "Singing Out Loud"? |

| Let's see. It's a bit hazy, so I may not get this right. I believe there was a version of I Never Do Anything Twice by a group called Betty. Liza sang Water Under the Bridge. Is that in the broadcast? There was more of Bill Irwin than appears in the broadcast. There's a sequence before he goes in Sooner or Later. I'll see if I can dig up my program. |

| Yes! The Betty song. It's great, but I guess they were just not well known enough. | |

| I don't think this arrangement adds anything to the song. | |
