Liza Minnelli ?- Liza With A "Z" (A Concert For Television) 2 × Vinyl, LP - Liza with a "Z": A Concert for Television is a 1972 concert film, made for television and starring Liza Minnelli. The film was produced by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse. As well as producing, Fosse also directed and choreographed the concert, and Ebb wrote and arranged the music with his song-writing partner John Kander. All four had previously worked on the successful film adaptation of Cabaret earlier in the same year. According to Minnelli, it was "the first filmed concert on television". Singer sponsored the production, although the producers did their best to keep any of the sponsors from seeing the rehearsals for fear of them pulling out due to Minnelli's short skirts. Filmed on May 31 at the Lyceum Theatre in New York, after only eight weeks of rehearsals, the concert was shot with eight 16mm film cameras at the insistence of Fosse, in contrast to other television specials of the time which were all shot on videotape. The original film soundtrack was recorded to 1/4" tape, and mixed down into a mono track for the 16mm film. An LP of the soundtrack was released in 1972 and followed in the success of the film by becoming a best seller and being certified gold.[6] In total it spent twenty-three weeks in the Top 40 charts, and has never been out of print.
