It ain't easy being a Diva especially when you're vocal
about your political beliefs. Barbra Streisand's "The Concerts"
raises the bar so-to-speak with a series of intimate performances
captured in recorded in July 1994 and again in 2006 the
later concert reflecting when Streisand was still under
a political cloud in many respects because Buba was still
in office. Likewise over a decade later we get a show from
2006 that captures her in top form and looking terrific.

Perhaps it's because she performs so rarely today or
just the fact that she takes care of her voice but one would
be hard pressed to find any difference in the quality of
her voice between those tweleve years of performing. We
can even compare these later career performances to pieces
of previous ones as the third disc has excerpts from her
TV specials done in the 1960's. The fun of the 1994 concert
is, perhaps, the most simply because you can play spot-the-celebrity
as it was a star studded event. ---
Image & Sound:
Both performances look top notch with nice detail and
a finely tuned 5.1 Surround Sound vocal/musical track. ---
