Tidbits / Quotes from the show (sent in from those who attended)
-
Barbra wore the same two outfits she wore in Philly, the sailor dress
and the black dress with the gold earrings and gold necklace. She looked
absolutely amazing! Loved the outfits!!
-
She
said that she heard that here in Ohio you guys have a thing where if I
say "OHI", you guys say "O." But, that was wrong, so someone in the
audience told her and she figured it out. She then yelled "O-H" and the
audience yelled back "I-O."
-
She
played "Lost Inside of You" on the piano, at one point messing up, and
said "Shit!". That got a lot of laughter.
-
She asked
the audience after the first song of Act 2 if we minded if she took off
her shoes. Of course, we didn't care. So, the entire 2nd act she was
barefoot.
-
She
brought Sammie after the encore, and returned once again after the
encore (because the audience was going crazy!) and finished with
"Smile."
-
She
was very loose and comfortable, and very appreciative of the love from
the audience.
-
The
show was phenomenal and I am still in shock. It's just now hitting me
that I saw Barbra Streisand Live. Thank God I have two more shows in NYC
to take it all in!
-Thanks to
Meagan Day for this wonderful report.
Fan Reviews:
I saw Barbra
in Columbus on Friday, October 6th, 2006...PHENOMENAL is the only way to
describe it. I wasn't too excited about Il Divo, but when I heard how
their voices complemented her voice I knew then why she took them on tour
with her; "Somewhere", sung with Il Divo, was an ultimate showstopper.
Another highlight was "Don't Rain on My Parade". The crowd was simply in
awe of her, and with reason. She proved that she is still the greatest
performer, and the best voice, working today. She sang all of her older
hits; I believe the only song she sang from 1980 on was "Somewhere", which
is actually an original song from the 60's. The set list was simply
perfect and showcased her voice beautifully.
The most EXCITING thing about the night for me, however, was when she
began to read the questions that audience members had asked her; when you
first walk in the concert hall, there was a table where you could write
down a question for Barbra. SHE READ MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, my name is Kent Bailey from Lexington, Kentucky, and BARBRA STREISAND
said MY NAME ON STAGE....my question was "When are you going to run for
President?" I would tell you how she answered, but honestly, I was in such
shock and awe that I don't really remember too much of anything after that
happened. I sit here still in shock from when I heard her say my name.
I see 6-10 concerts a year and I have done that for 25 years. I don't
think another concert could ever possibly top this one; pure perfection.
Hi it is
Jeffrey Freedman, arrived back from concert awhile ago about 2:30 am. wow
what an evening and adventure....The concert was stellar, she looked
fabulous and her voice was flawless, this was the best concert of my life,
especially because I was so close. The song selection was amazing, only
change from phili...Woman in the moon was not in and after she did Don't
Rain on my Parade Reprice, came back with sammy left stage the audience
was still going wild and she came back and did "Smile" Absoloutely,
flawless. I almost fainted 3 times throughout the concert. I actually
fell. She was very relaxed and fun even took her shoes off after the 3rd
song in act 2. She was so happy to get those shoes off. This was my first
exposure to il-divo they were pretty good, the audience loved them. When
they sang with Barbra they were great togehter and the audience went
wild...The Bush schtick went over well and after seeing it I feel that it
was done in way that was not offensive there were no hecklers, and seemed
everyone was laughing at the skit.
While, she was singing smile she asked, when there is the break in the
song, if she should do "Stoney End?" Eveyone screamed yes....so after
smile we were screaming for her to come back and do Stoney End. She did
not, yet I think she will add it for NYC....
Overalll the concert was a masterpiece, and she was flawless I wish I
could go to every show. I think in a venue like columbus as opposed to NYC
or LA etc. She is more relaxed, not as much pressure from press and
critics and no celebs in audience... It was the NIGHT OF MY LIFE......HOPEFULY,
I WILL GET TO GO TO ANOTHER SHOW AND HAVE ANOTHER NIGHT OF MY LIFE...
I will, give details about my entire adventure to Columbus with my cousin
and details of every aspect of concert tomorrow. I have to go to bed now.
I have benup since 5:30 am now 5:05am est so I have to go to bed. Just
tell you this, I was so nervous this morning I cut myself right under my
lip shaving. and could not eat since yesterday... I finally ate after the
concert while we were driving home....
Best To all

Barbra was
amazing!!!! the anticipation of waiting for her to maker her entrance was
nearly unbearable - every time a song in the medley came to an end and we
thought she would appear . .. another song in the medley. It really built
the excitement in the crowd (and my mom and I nearly fainted, cutting off
each others' circulation as we were holding hand so tight). And there she
was!!!!!!!!!!!! We were in the third row - dead center. Had you told me
anytime before a few weeks ago that I woudl EVER in my lifetime have a
chance to see her that close, I would not have thought it possible.
I have never seen her live, but the biggest surprise to me was how relaxed
she was. She had her shoes off nearly the entire time, responded to most
audience shouts, said "oh sh!t" when she was playing the piano, and really
appeared to enjoy herself with "Dubs", as she called the W impersonator.
Her rendition of Children Will Listen brought us to tears - how can she
evoke such emotion in every song???!!! Also, The Way We Were - no matter
how many times I hear it, nothing could have compare to her live
performance of it last night - also a tearjerker (I expected Hubbel to
walk on stage so she could fix his hair).
I also enjoyed some unexpected songs - "Have I stayed too long at the
fair?; Cockeyed Optimist, to name a few.
My mom most liked Somewhere and Music of the Night with Il Divo (arranged
like her Crawford duet). And this from someone who was, um, less than
thrilled to hear that Il Divo would be performing with her. She thought
their role was just right - not too much of them. And nice compliment to
Barbra. I also enjoyed their renditin (alone) of My Way, which they
dedicated to Barbra.
When she asked whether she should do Stoney End in the future, I screamed
extra hard for all of you who had been hoping.
She looked amazing and sounded fantastic. I will save any more "objective"
comments (and I have a few) for a later date because I am still in the
afterglow. A night we will never forget.
Have a blast, all of you who still get to savor the anticipation, and
here's hoping for a great DVD and CD sometime soon. |
