Liza's Back

Liza's Back is the ninth live album by American singer and actress Liza Minnelli, released by J Records in 2002. The album captures her comeback following a two-year hiatus caused by a diagnosis of viral encephalitis. This return was marked by a series of sold-out concerts at New York's Beacon Theatre, conceived by her husband, David Gest, and came after high-profile performances at London's Royal Albert Hall and Yankee Stadium after 9/11.

Recorded during these shows, the album was produced by Phil Ramone and executive produced by Clive Davis, marking Minnelli's reunion with the music executive. It features a setlist of her classics, including "Cabaret", and "Theme from New York, New York" alongside the new titular anthem of resilience, "Liza's Back", written by her long-time collaborators John Kander and Fred Ebb. The release was met with favorable reviews from critics, who praised her reinvigorated vocal power and the infectious joy she brought to the performance.
