Posted: 8/14/08 at 11:13amI don't know what Ghostlight has against my bank account . . .
I chose, and my world was shaken. So what?
The choice may have been mistaken. The choosing was not.

Posted: 8/14/08 at 11:28amwell now we know why Leslie was not able to release a recording of her version. She was set to do it and then it never came to be for some reason.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Posted: 8/14/08 at 11:31amThat would have been fun too. But if I had to choose . . .

SERIOUSLY.
Between Sh-k-boom/Ghostlight and PSClassics, I'm going to go bankrupt buying all the fantastic stuff they put out.
eta: I was just thinking that this could have been a fantastic two-disc set with Leslie Kritzer's concert, since it's already been recorded by Ghostlight and everything. Ah well, a girl can dream.

Posted: 8/14/08 at 2:21pmWell, since it's already recorded, perhaps there's a chance at some point down the line that it'll be released. I mean, Patti's got released eventually too!

Posted: 8/14/08 at 3:10pmShouldn't the title of this thread be "Patti LuPone at Les Mouches on CD LEGALLY"?

Posted: 8/14/08 at 4:01pmI'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought "hmmm- so what does this mean for us ever getting Kritzer's cd?" upon reading this.

I really wish I had seen Kritzer. Time to look for "alternate" recordings of the show(s).

Posted: 8/14/08 at 4:12pmKritzer was GENIUS as Patti, she should have won an Obie. I don't know what went down, but I keep hoping they bring that back to Joe's.

I've been waiting 27 years for this to be released!

Same here, PalJoey. I dragged my Dad to see Patti at Les Mouches the night before she won her "Evita" Tony way back in 1980. What a night! The show was sold out so we stood at the bar behind a velvet rope. Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber were in the audience as well. What a performance and Patti belted to the rafters! Heaven Is A Disco indeed. Oh, my Dad became a fan as well that night. Great memories and I look forward to reliving them again.

Posted: 8/14/08 at 4:54pmI'm in Heaven. Anyone know what the songlist might be?

well, I know the CD will be different than the...audio of dubious legality I have (they mention "Mr. Tambourine Man" in the Playbill article, and I don't have that on my recording), but the songlist might look something like this:
Latin from Manhattan
Feeling Too Good Today
Love For Sale
Not While I'm Around (which is awesome and jazzy)
Meadowlark
Daddy Squeeze Me
Heaven Is a Disco
Downtown
Street of Dreams
Because the Night
Take Me As I Am
Rainbow High
Don't Cry For Me, Argentina
Happy Birthday (I have no idea why though)
Look To the Rainbow/Superman
and I am REALLY looking forward to more random ass Patti talk.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Posted: 8/14/08 at 5:10pmGivesmevoice - Thank you. I read the article too, but your list has me very intrigued. I've never heard of the song "Superman", does anyone know who wrote or orginally recorded it?

I think that was the original plan but that was vetoed by Patti/her people. I seem to remember hearing that she wanted to record it herself NOW and release it as a double with the original as well. Holy ego batman! (love me some Patti though).
Givemevoice: As its a live recording, someone in the audience had a birthday, thus the Happy Birthday track. "Mr Tambourine Man" was part of Leslie's set, so I'm assuming it was in the original as well.
I love America. Just because I think gay dudes should be allowed to adopt kids and we should all have hybrid cars doesn't mean I don't love America.

Posted: 8/14/08 at 5:38pmwell, I assumed it was someone's birthday, but they never say a name during the song. that's why I was always a little confused.

Posted: 8/14/08 at 6:40pmAnd it makes you wonder if this recording was why her camp pulled the plug on the Kritzer recording. Now as much as I adored Kritzer, I'm much happier with this!!
#24re: Patti LuPone at Les Mouches on CD!
Posted: 8/14/08 at 6:47pmCouldn't they release the original and the Kritzer as a double set? I'd buy it!
