There's a reason Barbra Streisand's 2006 tour broke the arena house record in every city it visited, and it's because she's not only a legend but (still) a performer who effortlessly twists intimacy and friendliness and fierceness into a perfect, sturdy braid. This two-disc set, which pulls performances from dates in New York, Washington, D.C., and Fort Lauderdale, will raise its share of goosebumps. For longtime fans, they'll be a reaction to songs Streisand hasn't touched since the '70s and earlier, including "(Have I Stayed) Too Long At the Fair?" and "Unusual Way," from the Broadway musical Nine. For relative newbies, they'll be a response to her between-song patter, which touches with grace, wit, and sincerity on everything from her love for her son to her political leanings to her limitations as songwriter. The voice, of course, enthralls--there it is glowing on "Carefully Taught," one of four songs that have never before appeared on a Streisand recording, and there it is again wrapping luxurious tones all around "Evergreen," one of three songs she shares with Il Divo. Streisand--diva, political dynamo, superstar--still knows how to orchestrate a showstopper. --Tammy La Gorce More from Barbra

 Starting Here, Ending HereLeave November 12, 2008
Leave it to the legendary Babs to FINALLY get over her stage fright, let go of her perfectionism, and tour just in time to have 100's of thousands of fans in 7 countries witness the shockingly bad and deteriorated voice of the century. I saw two of the shows LIVE and have no desire to relive the disappointment on DVD. How I long for the 'old Barbra' and her perfectionaism and genius. I don't mean to be so critical of my all-time favorite vocalist and entertainer; but getting old really sux.
 Barbra Shows She Is Human On This Concert CD October 31, 2008
I purchased this 2006 two-disc concert along with Bab's other live CD, "Barbra: The Concert" (her 1994 Madison Square Garden NYC recording) this week. Both are wonderful recordings displaying Barbra's inimitable talent and artistry, but there is a noticeable difference between the two recordings.
Most will probably agree when I say her 1994 two-disc NYC set is a technically-superior set showing Barbra's voice in much better light. Her vocal trademarks -- those famous high notes and holding them for eternity -- are in full evidence. Her voice was in better shape, but this shouldn't surprise considering the long gap between the two recordings (1994 and 2006). If I were just listening to both concerts with my EARS, I would rate the 1994 a better bet. If I were listening to both releases with my HEART, the 2006 CD is superior, and it's mostly due to Barbra performing on a more EMOTIONAL level.
For once, Barbra is not afraid to show herself in a human light. On the 2006 recording, she shows noticeable strain on some high notes and her breath control betrays her several times as she tries to hold notes. For some Barbra fans who have come to expect absolute perfection from her, they may be in for a big shock listening to Barbra on the 2006 CD. But hey folks, guess what, Barbra is aging just like everyone else, so of course her voice will change. It's called LIVING !
Streisand has been criticized for being the ultimate controlling-perfectionist, so this flawed performance on the 2006 CD will come as a shock to those who are accustomed to "Perfectionist Barbra". As some reviewers have complained here on Amazon about Barbra's decision to tour at this stage in her career, I actually applaud her courage. I think it comes from finding peace with herself that she is willing to show herself in a human light, hoping her longtime fans will accept her for what she is. So I was genuinely moved by her emotion and conviction to sing--with cracks and flaws--on the 2006 set. Also, when this 2006 concert was made, she was 64 going on 65.
Sound quality on the 2006 two-disc set is also noticeably better than the 1994 NYC concert CD. Both are satisfying listening experiences, but on the 2006 CD, I detect a more spontaneous Barbra who succumbs less to scripted onstage patter and learning to go with the flow of the show. She is connecting with her audience on a more human level. Overall, I would give the 2006 concert CD set 5 stars and 4 stars to the 1994 NYC concert CD. In either case--Bravo, Barbra !!

Between that golden voice and the grandiose orchestra this CD is pure heaven. I'm addicted. I can't stop playing it. In my house, in my car and on my laptop. This work of art is the best I've ever heard. Buy it, you won't regret it.

I ordered this CD on 13thDecember - but when it didn't arrive by 3rd January I contacted Amazon who immediately sent a replacement.
Ironically. the original order arrived on 8th January(obviously delayed by Christmas mail) and the replacement order arrived three days later.
Well done Amazon,

Grammy and Academy Award winning musician Barbra Streisand has done it again, but singing live is something she does best, that and choosing friends such as Hillary Clinton (in 2008, Hillary Clinton received more votes than any other Presidential Primary candidate in history)
