Amazon.com essential recording
In 1961 Patsy Cline performed at the Cimarron Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma, backed by a hot Western-swing band led by steel guitar great Leon McAuliffe. Although Cline had just come out of the hospital following a serious automobile accident, you wouldn't know that from listening to her voice on this tape of the performance, unearthed in 1997. Although the tape has a few glitches, both Cline and the band come through loud and clear on a program that ranges from her hits to Western-swing standards and even a couple of rock & roll covers. The between-tunes banter offers an intriguing insight into Cline's brassy, big-hearted personality. --Rick Mitchell

Customer Reviews

Like being there
If, like me, you are ALREADY a big fan of Patsy Cline, what this CD will give you is a sense of what she was like as a performer. Not as a singer on the starched, staged Grand Ole Opry; not as a recording artist in the studio, but as an entertainer. You hear what her fans of the day bought a ticket to hear. Yes, the audio quality is inferior (it was 1961, after all) but if you want to get to know a side of Patsy Cline that you won't hear on her "Greatest Hits" this is a must-have. As most other fans, I only wish more locked up, live PC material would become available.

Go beyond Patsy's hits!
Patsy Cline was involved in a head on collision on June 14, 1961. She was almost killed and was at many points near death. She may have had a near brush with death, but that didn't stop Patsy. She had most of her tour dates canceled at that time. Except for Tulsa. Still healing and recovering, On July 29, 1961, Patsy made her 1st apperance since her near-fatal car wreck. While Patsy was in the hospital, her latest record, "I Fall To Pieces", reached number 1. With "I Fall To Pieces" a number 1 hit for Patsy, she preformed it twice that night.

The opening number is "Come On In". Patsy's traditional opening number. On into the preformance, Patsy tackles classic country songs, and even pop numbers as well. Such as "Shake, Rattle, and Roll", and "Stupid Cupid", which were both big pop hits.

Patsy gets personal towards the end of the preformance explaining her car accident. Overall, the CD is only for REAL Patsy Cline fans who want to go beyond the hits. You need to respect Patsy before you go out and buy this CD. It is for any country fan, with a little bit of Pop of the side.

It's pure pleasure to hear Patsy Cline in a live environment
It's pure pleasure to hear Patsy Cline in a live environment. Her amazing voice and gregarious personality come through like gangbusters on this disc. While some tracks have problems (feedback etc.) overall I found this to be very listenable and most enjoyable. Cline was a tremendous vocalist and on this disc, it is all the more apparent since its her first show after her car accident. A rollicking show and a must for any Cline fan. I'm quite happy with this disc.
