Teenage Lament '74

This has always been one of my favorite songs and one that's not talked about a whole lot.

I was wondering if it was ever performed live... so I looked and according to the "Setlists" section, it seems only at two shows on the 1996 Tour and one show in 2004.

Of all the tunes on the original "Greatest Hits", it's been played the least live.

One of Alice's greatest vocal performances and would love to hear this one live sometime.

I liked the live version of Teenage lament 74 from Fistful of Alice but Liza Minnelli absolutely destroys the studio version. Lyrics are a great description of being a teenager but when Liza Minnelli starts to sing ''What are gonna do'' it ruins the song for me. But hey that's just my opinion. Many here will probably disagree with me.

I completely forgot it was on "Fistful". Shows how much I listen to that one.

Love the studio version, a perfect song if you ask me with Liza and all.

It was one of the better songs on the Greatest Hits live on XM radio. I'd prefer it over I Never Cry in the set. Mick Mashbir's solo on the original is great.

The most bubbly and happy teen angst song out there, in my opinion.

I just love this vid...

It wasn't just her singing backing vocals on that song.

I was 14 in 1974. Always loved this song.
