Thread Name: Judy Collins in Liverpool
Subject: RE: Judy Collins in Liverpool
I saw Judy Collins play a gig in Miami along with Roger McGuinn, Richie Havens and Janis Ian, in late 2001.

All four of them were absolutely magnificent, but what stuck in my memory was Judy Collins' emotional tribute to New York, at the close of which she sang a heart-rending version of "Give My Regards to Broadway" which had the whole audience ( me as well, I am not ashamed to say) in tears. Remember, this was just weeks, if not days, after 9/11.

Oh yes , and what also sticks in my mind was how sexy she looked, slim and fit and with heels which wouldn't have been out of place in a catwalk parade .... Foxy Lady ....oh yeah ....

Or, as Chris B described her in his opening post, a sassy old broad ... I am delighted that she is still wowing her audiences after all these years.
