It got better as the tour progressed Aug 07, 2009 Caveat: I used to be a HUGE Barbra Streisand fan, especially of her 1960s records and tv specials. I can see that this concert was a prelude to the tour, because she does a few things that she ended up changing as the tour progressed. The visual problem to this concert is that she's moving around too much and she actually is swinging the microphone during "Loverman". Also, this is probably my fault, but I can't get the menu to show the selections to the second act. "Loverman" sounds great and is closer to the 1967 Ray Ellis arrangement than subsequently performed later in the tour. It was also nice to see the medley of "I'm In The Mood For Love/ Speak Low/ Guilty". Barry Gibb is always going to have a friend in Barbra Streisand. With an artist like Barbra Streisand people either love her %100 or hate her %100. Hopefully this is a little more nuanced review.
This is not THE CONCERT that rivetted audiences--that one is only on VHS Jul 07, 2009 This DVD, which I own, is unlike the HBO THE CONCERT in that it adds to the remarkable medley she first sang at the beginning of the greatest concert ever, and practically ruins the sharpness of it by additional lyrics that go on and on. Also, this DVD excludes the magnificent Yentl duet Streisand does with herself. Her voice is less intense here than on the VHS THE CONCERT, maybe because she is less nervous here. But that nervousness makes the concert on every level! THE CONCERT (the original) has yet to be released on DVD. No problem though--the VHS concert is just fine, unless you have to watch it daily. If that is true, you might need other kind of help! LOL...
Barbara Streisands May 01, 2009 Barbara Streisand is always delightful to watch in her live performance and simply stunning to listen to her beautiful voice. She is truly irreplaceable and will recommend this video to everyone!
Streissand: The Concert LIve at the MGM Grand Jan 06, 2009 Outstanding in every way. Great performance, photography, choreography and music selections. A must for anyone who loves Barbra.
What's not to like? Sep 09, 2008 This concert is Barbra at her best. She looks great and sounds even better. The show is well staged and the music selections are all the favorites, you remember from Barbra.
