Free Music Review: Still the Best
Hit: 5 Stars
The VERY, VERY few who have expressed dissatisfaction with the Live in Concert 2006 CD clearly do not have the expertise to qualify Barbra as an artist and singer. Furthermore, I was present at her performance in Atlanta and must say that I too was anxious about her vocals, knowing the she had aged since the first time I saw her live in 1994 and in 2000.
The truth is that her vocals her are absolutely astonishing, even by her own standards. Perhaps the tracks chosen for this CD were not as demonstrative of her power "in person", but I would say without hesitation that she is in better voice here than in 2000- NO doubt about it. Those who saw or heard her then will definitely agree. And no, her voice is not the perfect powerhouse that it was 30 years ago, but damn close to it.
Hands down, when compared to her peers (how many are there?), Barbra is second to none with her success in the music industry. The statistics prove that she remains one of the most lauded and awarded performers in history- and is STILL on stage singing; and not to mention selling out stadiums the world over! Who, may I ask, as a single performer of her generation, can say the same?

I was lucky enough to see her perfom this concert live in DC, so I think this CD is extra special to me because it reminds me of living out a lifelong dream. I listen to this CD and I honestly get a lump in my throat and chills all over. True, there are definite signs of Barbra's age audible. Her voice is huskier and you can hear some strain, which is most evident in the opener, "Starting Here, Starting Now". But is that bad? After 40 years in the business, she has one of, if not the best, voice in the business. Her signature songs all sound great: "The Way We Were", "Happy Days", "People". "My Man" gives me chills every time I hear it, and on this CD, it's no exception. Even "Evergreen" and "Somewhere", with Il Divo, are good, though she would have been better off without that bombastic group. It's songs, though, that she hasn't song live in a long time, or ever, that really stay with me. "Down with Love" is playful and youthful, "Funny Girl" is exquisite, and my favorite, "A Cockeyed Optimist," makes me hope she won't wait too long to do another Broadway album. In 40+ years of recording, she has only released about 5 live albums, and this is far and away my favorite.Free Music Review: A Masterpiece

Even though I saw Ms. Streisand Live in Atlanta last year I cannot believe how great this Cd is! It is not only Barbra Streisand best live album it is also the best live concert album by any artist, except maybe with the exception of Judy Garland's Live at Carnegie Hall album. Streisand has never sounded so happy and relaxed! One gets to hear songs that she's never recorded and one's she hasn't sang in decades like "Down With Love" and "Have I Stayed Too Long At The Fair", the latter will send chills up your spine. There are classics like "People" was a rare introduction! There is also her special guest LL Divo. They join Barbra on "The Music of The Night" and "Evergreen" but it is there duet with Streisand on "Somewhere" the is absolute perfection! Just wait to you hear the song from Broadway's Nine, "Unusual Way" wow Barbra nails it! I just cannot stop listening to this CD! One final note it is packaged so well. Has a great cover that opens up and has a fill color slip cover tucked inside. You know to think about it I think Streisand Live is equal to Garland's Carnegie Hall album. Both are masterpieces that will live on forever!Free Music Review: Spoiled

We Streisand fans have been absolutely spoiled. From Central Park, The LA Forum, Ramirez Canyon and continued with the '94 and Timeless concerts, we have been treated to a series of great live recordings. Luckily for us, the streak continues with the Live in Concert '06 CD collection. Il Divo joins the very small club of Barry Gibb, Lauren Frost and three 'Main Event' back-up singers as performers who have shared the stage with the legend. They provide a unique harmonic balance to the concert, although the recording cannot possibly convey their stage charisma adequately.
Two score and five years ago, a musical career was launched. Although the voice has matured and the range is not what it once was, the interpretation and delivery remains top echelon, truly an actress who sings. For anyone fortunate enough to attend an '06 performance, the recordings will certainly engender fine memories.
Anticipation being what it is, I am eagerly awaiting the DVD of the concert tour, but I suspect it won't be released until after the completion of the '07 European tour. Rome, Paris, London, here I come!

OK.God bless you all and remember wouldn't it be wonderful,If we could all be a little more gentle with each other,and a little more loving,have a little more empathy,and maybe,just maybe we'd like each other a little bit on Barbra Srteisad your the best,and Thank you for all the year's......
