Streisand: Live in Concert

I'll have to buy it today

I would have loved to see here in Paris but she is charging too much for a seat.Between 130 and 600 euros (160 and 700 US Dollars).
I would have loved to see her but paying 130 eruos is just too much as those seats are behind the sage and the orchestra.

Thanks for the heads-up with the TARGET 2 bonus tracks, which I prefer over the single bonus track via BARNES & NOBLE.

I was fortunate to attend her concert in Ft. Lauderdale (which was filmed for future HBO special and DVD), and she did "Stoney End" here. She didn't do the entire song, though...but her comments about the song when she stopped singing it were priceless.

Gotta love her.

Huh?

She sounds terrible: old and lazy. And that stage patter. All off of the teleprompter.

Besides the 'crazy' fans, who will buy?

I stopped listening to her when she decided to do those limited tours. By touring standards, I don't think she "tours the United States" Also, when Amendment 2 was happening here in Colorado (The gay rights Amendment), she issued a statement that people should boycott our state. And then she did nothing to help the cause. We thought she would in some way lend her support to have it overturned after that statement but she didn't. The gay community did it on their own. I have lost some respect for her. Actually a lot.

We did not expect her to overturn it. She doesn't have that kind of power anyway. Our upset as a gay community is that a performer of her "stature" would come out and say that, not knowing really what was going on here. We as a gay community did not want the state boycotted. That was not our goal. We never asked for the state to be boycotted. We just wanted the amendment overturned. I am assuming that you do not live in CO. And if you do, than you were not active in or were not paying attention to what was going on within the gay community. Nor do you know the controversy over the wording of that amendment and how a whole lot of straight people thought they were voting in favor of the gay community when, in fact, they were not. Ms. Streisand evidentally did not take the time to find these things out, or she would not have called for the boycott.

We really didn't have to meet her. She is a star. When she speaks, people listen, to an extent. her statement came out of nowhere and took us by surprise. You yourself said she is very political in her beliefs, which we all know. She is not a stupid woman which is a reason why we were surprised she made the statement without doing her homework, so to speak. So yes, I and a lot of other people here lost respect for her because she made thing a bit harder for the community I belong to without supporting the community she was "so called" behind by making that statement.

And I VERY much remember that whole time. I lived it and helped fight for the overturn.

If you want to discuss this further, feel free to PM me. Don't want to take over this thread with this subject as it is about her tour. I was just responding with my feelings initially.

It's my opinion which I am entitled to.

She sounds old and tired.

And I also feel tired listening to her records post-Brolin marriage.

All that talent and all that laziness.

Shame.

Good Lord. I see I am trying to have a conversation with a crazy.

If she can sell out crowds, fine. There are people who have never seen her before and if they enjoyed themselves, fine.

I am saying that there are fans, like myself, who feel that love, politics, and pretense have killed her career. When this CD flops will she care? I bet SONY will.

The change in her voice bothers me but she still is amazing. I love the CD. What? Target has 2 bonus tracks? Argh, I bought mine at FYE. I think I would have to go and get it again. NOW.

The 2 tracks are "Don't Rain on My Parade" and a short version of "Stoney End."

ITunes has "Woman in the Moon" and if you date her son he will give you "Guava Jelly" live.

For not being one of the 'crazy' fans you always seem to make your voice heard whenever Barbra is mentioned.

You also seem to know a lot about both the CD itself and the extra different tracks. So you must care enough to know about such things.

Mmmmmmm.
