Shirley MacLaine Live at the Palace
Shirley MacLaine Live at the Palace is a 1976 live album by the actress and singer Shirley MacLaine recorded live at New York City's Palace Theatre. The show replicated the success MacLaine had with a similar series of concerts earlier in the year at the London Palladium. The album was reissued on compact disc by DRG Records in April 2002, with new liner notes by Elton John. In the liner notes John wrote that "Seeing is believing and this lady captivated me. Every facet of her act was superb—singing, comedy, dancing and most of all warmth and complete mastery of her audience. The lady is quite simply a lesson in professionalism for any other performer". The British entertainer Paul O'Grady described the album as his favourite in his 2011 memoir The Devil Rides Out.
