“Judy Garland in Concert.” RCA/Columbia. $29.95. All too typical of videocassette packaging, there is nothing on the cover to tell you when or where this “concert” took place. You have to play the cassette before learning these two dozen black-and-white musical clips (ranging from “Swanee” to “Over the Rainbow”) were pulled from Garland’s early ‘60s TV series. The segments are uneven, but the highlights document why she was an electrifying performer who combined the show-biz aggressiveness of a Jolson and the imaginative phrasing of a Sinatra.
