Barbra Streisand - Timeless (Live in Concert)


Starring:Barbra Streisand
Studio: Sony
Product Type: DVD

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video
Picture this: a television screen filled with an image of a mature woman's hand holding the hand of an adolescent girl. Then those hands--and their owners, Barbra Streisand and 15-year-old look-alike and singing sensation Lauren Frost--ascend a flight of stairs that leads (suggestively, at least) to destiny itself. A third of the way up, Barbra releases her surrogate child-self... and watches as the latter climbs the rest of the way, disappearing into her future of possibilities.

Wow. Who else but Streisand could still pull off such an audacious moment of sentimental psychodrama, the way that only a true star could? Yet nestled within the autobiographical meringue of the legendary singer's Millennium's-End concert, performed at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas on December 31, 1999, that scene--and many other such self-referential moments reliving the sundry chapters of Streisand's life and career--is quite moving in its laid-bare honesty. A fuller experience than listening to the double CD of the concert, this video record of a magical night (does anyone remember our collective Y2K anxieties that New Year's Eve?) provides the most bang for the buck when it comes to reliving all those special scenes: surprise guest appearances (Barry Gibb, Bryan Adams, Neil Diamond, and Streisand's son, Jason Gould), duets with Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra (via video footage, of course), an appearance by dance master Savion Glover as Brother Time, a humorous bit with Shirley MacLaine, and several collaborations with Frost. If Timeless: Live from the MGM Grand was indeed, as Streisand claimed, the first step of a short farewell tour that ended in early 2000, it was the perfect way to exit the stage forever. --Tom Keogh

5 out of 5 stars Barbra at her very best.......2007-03-10

Possibly one of the greatest concerts of all time. Even non Streisand lovers have to attest to that. Contains all of her classics some with new musical arrangements. Her rendition of Somewhere is 'heavenly'. A great addition to any collection. Do yourself a favour and buy it now!

5 out of 5 stars great.......2006-05-13

i first saw this concert at madison square garden on september 27 th 2000 the first night of one of barbra streisand's farwell concerts in new york. it was great seeing barbra live but i wasn't sitting in the good seats which everyone calls the blood nosed seats. i first saw the las vegas concert on valentines day of 2001 but they cut out the scene when barbra was talking to shirley mclaine but i loved it anyway bacause barbra wasn't the size of an ant this time. then i coupple of years laiter i bought it on dvd and enjoyed it even more. barbra has been my idol since i was 5 years old.

5 out of 5 stars Barbra's timeless concert .......2006-03-11

It is hard to confuse Barbra Streisand's voice with someone else's. Whatever song style she sings - you can always recognize her and this is a sign of a gifted singer. Barbra Streisand is very artistic and natural on the stage, acting as if she is living it. Very good concert.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Barbra.......2004-05-01

Barbra Streisand is my favorite actress/singer. In this "Timeless" DVD, it's as if I've met her personally! In the concert itself, she have shown some of the things that she passed through her life. Starting with the recording studio, a 15-year old Barbra was played by Lauren Frost. She even sang songs from the Broadway, such as Miss Marmelstein, Don't Rain on My Parade, and Second Hand Rose. Also her Academy-award winner song, "Evergreen". In the ActII, she had a video of the highlights in her career..."The Main Event/Fight", "People" and "Send in the Clowns". Watch this concert...and you'll experience the ABSOLUTE BARBRA ever...!
