Liberace plays (the old) Madison Square Garden to record breaking crowds and receives a record breaking payment of $138,000 for the concert. The only other pianist able to fill the Garden, but not quite to capacity, was Paderewski!
"Liberace ran the concert... as if it were an intimate little soiré between him and his more than 16,000 good and loyal friends. Seated at the piano, he talked idly, almost endlessly about himself and everything he loves and admires."
