The comeback concerts followed Minnelli’s engagement at London’s Royal Albert Hall and her nationally televised rendition of “New York, New York” at Yankee Stadium shortly after the September 11 attacks on the U.S.[6]

It was produced by her then husband, David Gest, and released on CD in the same year by J Records.[7]

Minnelli performed many songs associated with her, and introduced "Liza's Back," written by Minnelli's longtime collaborators, John Kander and Fred Ebb.
