I saw Judy Garland In Concert both nights in Boston at Symphony Hall. I strongly recommend it to anyone considering going -- it was quite remarkable to see Judy (and the Boston Pops, but mainly Judy) get standing ovations, and to see people weeping openly at her singing songs like "Over the Rainbow."
