What an AMAZING talent. Singers can learn so much from studying her. How she works her voice is incredible. She always knows when to give and when to hold back. I am constantly referring my students to these concerts. She is one of the best belt singers ever. Really, no one can touch her.

Barbra Streisand is at her best in the 2006 concert. With just a simple series of catwalks in the center of the arena with almost no props, Streisand proves she needs nothing but her fantastic interpretation of her classic pieces to hold an audience. A comparison with the earlier concert from the 90s included in the set shows how far she has come from the need to rely on props while doing the show. Barbra just gets better and better with age!

Purchased this as a gift for my husband and we just can't enjoy it enough. Takes us back, in some cases, to when we were younger. Her quality has never unfaltered even in aging. Would highly recommend to everyone, young and old.

I was lucky to have seen this concert in person. So, I was quite anxious to get the dvd. There is only one problem. The audio. I have a Bose surround sound system. The audio options on this DVD are for Stereo or DTS Surround. On a Bose system you can not chose the DTS surround because the Bose system automatically enhances any Stereo or Dolby Digital to DTS. So, if you chose DTS when viewing you will hear nothing. You have to choose stereo or Dolby Digital (if available) Almost all DVD's have these options. So on this DVD, I would have to choose stereo under the audio, and than click a button on my Bose remote to convert to surround. When you do this it sound really good and not that much is lost. The problem is when I do this on this concert, the music is very thin sounding. You can hardly hear the drums, bass etc..I have never had this problem on any other DVD and I have loads of them. Could this just be a bad DVD??

I finally got to see Barbra live at her concert in San Jose in 2006 and so of course couldn't wait to get this tape. While there are bits and pieces from various 06 concerts in the mix and some of the songs are different from those I saw in person, Barbra as always does not disappoint. You go Babs...
