Movie Reviews of Barbra Streisand: The Concerts
Movie Review: Streisand History
Summary: 5 Stars
As the DVD co-director/producer Gary Smith says, this Streisand concert MUST be documented for generations to come. Whether or not you're a die-hard fan, owning this piece of history is also a MUST. Barbra Streisand, the 'perfectionist' also shows the truth in her imperfections. A missed note, a hoarse voice at times, her connection (or non-connection) with a lyric, everything that makes her human is included here. Not only the amazing concert of 2006 but a little bit of her maturing process as an artist is here, too. Watch the newest concert first but be sure to enjoy the look back at her first specials from the mid-sixties, her creative process for her huge success on The Broadway Album. Barbra, thanks for sharing!Movie Review: The Hits
Summary: 5 Stars
Barbra Streisand has always been the best at what she does. This collection of concerts was amazing. The Fort Lauderdale concert was so well done and so reflective of her magical voice. For those who have never heard her sing, it shows what a phenom really is. For those of us who grew up with her work, it can bring a tear to your eye as you go down memory lane. She takes time to talk to laugh with the audience between songs. It's a nice way of letting new and old listeners get to know her. This could be the best and last "Barbara" concert ever recorded so I recommend getting this collection. I liked it so much I bought one for my mother. It's a great gift for those hearts you wish to touch.Movie Review: Life cycle of an artist - work in progress continues ..

The Concerts DVD documents another milestone in Barbra's career.
2006 is simply Streisand at 64. Fresh. Surprising. Intimate. Silly. Supreme. After a dozen viewings I'm thinking this is Barbra's greatest concert recording.
If you 'GET' Barbra, get the 2006 concert asap. I'm not giving any spoilers, keep the surprise for yourself.
My copy arrived from Amazon-UK mid March - who could wait? The inclusion of the '94 Anaheim Concert and Putting It Together (the making of the Broadway Album) makes this a must have set. The three UK discs are region free and PAL.
Movie Review: A rare and odd little collection
Summary: 5 Stars
I had seen the 1993 concert when it originally aired on HBO and was thrilled it finally became available on DVD. This was the last live concert with Streisand's voice at it's peak. Sorry it was edited, however. Equally thrilling was the insert of The Making of The Broadway Album. I have this on VHS and now can enjoy it on DVD. Geffen and Pollack's reaction to standing near Streisand in the studio as she belts out Putting It Together is priceless. What a treat!Movie Review: Really great video
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
