I’m 66 years old. Fifty years ago my mother told me she bought us tickets to see Liberace at the Garden State Art Center (in NJ). I said, “who’s that?”.. She said - “an incredible entertainer”. She was right. I was mesmerized by his incredible talent, his wardrobe, the car and his engaging rapport with the audience. It was a night I have never forgotten and my first experience with pure genius. I’ve been a devout fan ever since.. ❤️

He made so many people happy, I hope I meet this great man in heaven. A wonderful human being who was at his best making other people happy.

He knew every song out there, simple or complex and played them all without errors. Władziu Liberace never stumbled at the keyboard and for 20 years he was the highest paid entertainer in the World!! He was indeed a Master of the piano.

What a natural. Gifted player. A joy to watch. Thank you Liberace.

He makes that Piano Sing. Such a Great Musician. Showmanship beyond!

One of the greatest showmen and entertainers ever to appear on stage.

I loved Liberace. I always wondered what happened to his clothes, his beautiful rings. His house that fell into decay is now back to some of its original grandeur. Thanks to someone who cared what happened to his belongings. Remembered always. Gershwin would have been so proud to hear his magical fingers playing his music.

Wow! What a stunning performance, interpretation and arrangement, full of dynamics, emotion and rhythm, awesome 👏 what a player!

The wsy he puts it all together is pure genius. He was a great talent.

Absolutely brilliant. Music that will never die.

A wonderful man, wonderful musician, showman, would have loved to have met him, he must be entertaining in heaven.

Shivers down your spine listening to him play - wonderful thank you Lee

My mother, a very accomplished piano player, loved this guy to death. He was flamboyant, a bit of an eccentric, colorful, but his talent could never be duplicated. He was a showman extraordinaire, to say the least, and he had every right to flaunt that talent and popularity.

I saw the great Liberace in 1975 in Vegas!! One of the best shows I’ve ever seen!!

He had such an ease and rapport with his audience and his charisma and talent, still, to this day, are unmatched. I love Liberace.

A master showman and an incredibly accomplished pianist. The ACCURACY here is astounding. Not a note missed. Not a note wrong. Liberace is a nation treasure. And although it was many years in the making - he was finally free at the end to be HIMSELF and the fans embraced him.

Mr. Liberace was a national treasure. He was art in motion. Most amazing artist and showman. My mother use to watch his show and I always watched with her. He was one of one. It brings me to tears to know he’s gone but I will never forget him.

How wonderful to have all these videos we can play any time to remind us what a great showman you were, it’s as tho’ you never left us. Thank you for the music Lee, keep on playing.

When I was Nine Years Old My Parents took to See Liberace in Concert Such a nice man I could listen to him for hours A true Showman And a wonderful Humantarian And A Kind Soul R,I.P Lee

A master thoroughly enjoying himself and sharing his joy with the world. A treasure when he was a live and a treasure still.

Liberace doesn't get the respect as a musician he should. He was truly a brilliant pianist and having met him three times in my life, he was a wonderful guy in person and to fans.

I closed my eyes listening to this and was transformed. I am in awe.

Gershwin like the majority of the Great american song book composers had recieved a european classical music education ie Irvin Berlin Cole porter Harold Arlen Sammy Kahn Rodgers and Hammerstien Jerome kern and Mel Torme this inspiring display of piano virtuoisty by Liberace on Gershwins famous piece is amazing on so many levels one of which is he is playing from memory which is a elite ability of the dedicated great masters wonderful to hear in 2023 or at any time in human history thank u so much for posting this wow

I Donna will never hear this song without hearing Darling I love you.No one could play this as well as he did.Yet I shall always love this tribute Gershwin gave the world to love an living a full life.

So many different styles, and moods....And a master at them all....Love the Gershwin set....powerful!!!!

He was great at playing & entertaining, a legend

Just listening to that man play, without even seeing him, is a lift always for me.

God, he was a mountain of talent! Just brilliant.

That was an enthusiastic performance that I thoroughly enjoyed. In 1969, I was 17. I am native U.S. I was part of a week long international choir fest in Freiburg, Germany. Yes, as Liberace said, music is, truly, the universal language.

One of the most gifted of all time.

So beautiful, so rare and so wonderful to listen to.

Liberace was the BEST of the B\EST. Loved him so. And such a kind man. My Mother was a pianist and would have loved to have seen him in her time. RIP sir, we miss you.

My Mother absolutely loved his music. When I was a baby my Father would play me to sleep with Boogie because I would stay awake to listen to Liberace. I still love to listen to his music today 75 years later LOL

Truly one of a kind. Like Elvis, there will never be another.

I saw him in New York, I saw him in Florida, doesn't matter where, he always entertained, he sparkled with his diamonds, his outfits, but his piano playing, the BEST...........always beautiful music, he could make the piano sing.........

He's a THRILLING performer!!

Magnificent, there is not another like him.

His souls playing the piano, his fingers are just the tools...

I love Liberace, he was a wonderful person. Everyday I listen his wonderful music.

Most complete Gershwin Medley I have ever heard I am in tears of joy. And to see this being executed by Liberace ...I'm in heaven (wooops I just blew my left speaker)

He was the BEST of the BEST. Some seem to run him down, but I do believe he was wonderful. I think he is in heaven now playing for my Mother. She was a pianist and the best, too. She always liked him. I know she would have loved to see him in person. Maybe possible in heaven, huh??? Love Liberace. RIP

I love liberace and I love George In Ira gerwin These 3 men bought beauty of music into the life of the world Rest in peace my beautiful souls of God

I can only say that Liberace was good for the soul.

The master at work. One word WONDERFUL.

It’s always very emotional to me when I listen to Gershwin’s music and especially when Liberace is performing it. Even I unfortunately never have seen a live performance on stage. But he had an ability to make people happy with his music 🎶 and with his attitude. Even through the TV-screen he had this lovely and sympathetic way to make me smile. He passed away much to early!😢

I miss Liberace. he had a god given talent. class act.🎶🎼🎵

A wonderful musician ! Thank you for this golden memory !

I love Liberace. He is very funny, very nice and a terrific pianist and entertainer. I miss you Lee. Wish you were still here.

Gracias Liberace por compartir esa genialidad con todos, un verdadero privilegio disfrutar de tus interpretaciones RIP...

His immortal music will forever live on for generations to come.

This man was so perfect!! My God! Absolution! Perfection!! Blows me away..

He was fantastic 🙃❤️💙

Its so obvious that this very talented man didn't take himself so seriously that he was afraid to be the butt of a self deprecating gag or lack the ability to be in on the joke when it came to his over the top wardrobe . As they say...Liberace cried all the way to the bank. God bless you Lee.

Phenomenal, there are no other words ...

Class act all the way. One of my favorites. I shed tears every time I hear this. Wish he were living now.

Such flair. No matter what his love-style was/is, watching & listening to his lightness/funness is refreshing. I would loved to have met him!!!

What a showman he was. Fabulous.

I love Liberace’s Piano pieces he played eversince! It’s sooo soothing to listen! Too sad 😢 he’s not around anymore! I missed him so much performing. R.I.P Liberace! 🙏📿🕯🕊🌺

I started piano at 4. After A few times through a music chart I did it by ear 👂. If you start early it just becomes words in a poem. I r 68 n still play a lot. Made a living at it for a couple decades. It is like nothing else. Loved Victor Borga as well. They were gifts to the planet. Glad for the youtube living history book.

Can't even imagine the things about music that are in his brain! To be so talented!

Every time I watch Liberace he brings a smile to my face and allows me to forget about life's troubles for a while. If that's not the definition of entertainment, what is?

THE MUSIC OF GEORGE GERSHWIN IS SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MUSIC THAT HAS EVER BEEN COMPOSED!

He was a genius on the piano...

I had the privilege of attending one of his concerts at the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver, Canada many years ago. It was amazing! I relive the joy I felt by watching these vidios. Thank you 😊🇨🇦

LIBERACE!!! The greatest!!!! can't beat him. Thanks for posting.

Fabolous! My grandpa was great piano performer, and a unconditional Liberace fan. Thanx for this!

Personality and style and showmanship remind me quite a bit of Elton John in his younger days both of them just love their music and are the best at the kind of music they did. Can't help but feel happy after hearing them play.

I grew up watching his half hour weekly show. I got to see him live in Vegas. Best show ever. Miss him. Thank God for the videos. I've got a set on DVD. There has not been anyone like him. He's one of a kind. Wonderful!

What a joy to be able to watch these wonderful performances. Thank you for sharing!

A very gifted player.It brings joy t those hurt lost souls andales them smile and warms their souls.Stirs one's soul.

He was a brilliant entertainer and pianist, enjoyed watching him as a child with my parents!

When I was kid practicing piano my Dad would often say to me. When you can play like Liberace then you will truly know how to play. I did not quite get there and still cant play anywhere near as well. But he was one of the musicians that inspired me to keep playing. he really knew how to have fun with music and gave joy to so many people around the world. I will be 68 next birthday and have been teaching music for nearly 35 years now.

He was one of the Greatest, i love listening to his music.

Liberace "but I couldn't come out just in the buttons" - sublime!

this is so much fun to watch. i'm into psyhedelic, rock, jazz, etc so this is new to me. liberace blows my mind. what an incredible musician and performer. wow.

Wow he was only 4 years old when he started to play his piano and 39 years that is awesome god bless Liberace I love Gershwin actually I love classical music and operas this is so beautiful How Liberace is playing it very enchanting this guy was one of a kind no one could ever be close to be like him he was real not fake at all He loved what he did Best playing his piano and entertaining everyone with his music and storytelling.

When my wife and I were living in Melbourne in 1984 to November 1986 we saw Liberace in both Melbourne and Sydney at the Opera House. After his show in Melbourne we got to talk with Liberace and several of us were invited up to his hotel suite in which there was a grand piano. He sat and played all sorts of music from straight classical to jazz. There was nothing in his repertoire that he couldn`t play. Such a gifted and talented man.He was very charming and kept telling the outlandish jokes and then he would play. I dont know how long we were honoured to have been in his company . Thats one memory we will take to our grave. There are no entertainers anymore. They have all gone to the great concert hall in the sky.

My mother played piano and she loved this guy.

He could make a piano talk as few others could. Glitz and glamour combined with charm and showmanship. You never saw him reading off of sheet music. Often imitated, but never, ever duplicated. RIP Liberace.

Applause applause, pianist of the highest masters. Thank you for the memories

My Wife and I saw him at Lake Tahoe in 1980. Those who did not see him perform missed a chance to witness greatness. Not only as a real human being but as a performer extraordinaire, an artist, and absolutely brilliant pianist. There will never be another like him and well there should not be. I mean that in a very good way,, his sexual orientation has nothing what-so-ever to do with his brilliance and his contributions to mankind.

An Great Artist and Amazing nice Person. RIP Lee Liberace and thank you for All.

My father, who served in the USMC, Korean War Veteran, and a damn good piano player, thought that Liberace was the best pianist in the world. He listened to his records and watched every time he was on television. When it was confirmed that Liberace was gay, you could tell that it bothered him, but he remained a fan until his dying day.

Rhapsody in Blue is one of my favorite pieces of music. (If not THE favorite.) This is a marvelous rendition.

I saw him in person twice over the years .What a showman and musician he was ! 😮 Unforgettable Great memories

This man was just amazing!!

He made a lot of people laugh and lighten up their emotional environment. This is a great performance of Rhapsody in Blue.

Out on the Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation in the Florida Swamp. We had only a radio in early 1950s. A bunch of older Indians would gather around by the camp fire. Just listen to him!!! I'm 76 years old now , enjoy his music Sho na bish

Rhapsody in Blue played perfectly amongst everything else he played

I think it is sad that they sorta phased him out. Museum gone, etc. HE WAS THE BEST SHOWMAN OF ALL TIMES. WISH I COULD HAVE SEEN HIM IN PERSON.

Amazing pianista!!!

Its hard to believe that this warm and charismatic showman was actually quite lonely.

beautiful music, beautiful soul.

This Gentleman is the Most Exotic Talent Artis Once Upon A Time... My Respect.

I played the piano for 20 years & I LOVED Liiberce (still do). My boyfriend got us subscription tickets for seeing concerts at 'Garden States Arts Center'. Every year during the summer series, we got tickets to see a Liberace - & other classical & rock groups. It was about year 6 of seeing Liberace & the Dancing Waters & my man Jim, leaned over to me during one of the musical breaks, where Liberace invited the audience to come on down to the stage, & see his diamonds. He said if I didn't go down to see him at the end of this conversation with the audience, he'd never take me again. I always dressed for the occasion & realized these women going down the main aisle, were my grandmother's age. They walked very slowly, some with walkers or canes. I scampered down a side aisle (I was young) & was the first to reach the stage. It was so cool! He did his routine of "do you want to see my diamonds?". Of course, I said. His orchestra started playing a Strauss waltz, & he invited me on stage to dance with him. He helped me up the stage stairs and we walzted together. He was GOOD! And smelled good. (Don't care what his sexual orientation was, he's was a child prodigy, & put on a great show.!!!) It was probably more exciting than my wedding day. I saw the Beatles at Shea Stadium in '65, the Stones in '67 & this Liberace concert surpassed the great groups & artists I had seen. He was such a talented & versitile performer & I got such a kick out of him. Especially THAT night! Rest in Peace, Liberace.💔

He was a brilliant pianist

showmanlee Thank you for this wonderful share ... I grew up with Liberace's Music Shows on English TV ~ wonderful showman but fantastic at the piano

Brilliant, years of hard work and dedication, true genius. Terrible loss. 🌎

My mother was a professional concert pianist who played at a very high level (solo performances at Orchestra Hall in Chicago and such). She really liked Liberace's playing and felt he was a superb pianist. She was also impressed with Van Cliburn's playing when he burst onto the music scene. But she never cared much for Vladimir Horowitz feeling he played without much emotion.

The maestro-he was fabulous in every way.
