For those interested, this 74 year old gal still has it...she's getting great reviews for her concert (which opened August 2):

I live in L.A., and wanted to see the show, but was more than okay when
that wasn't feasible (too many other expenses right now).

The Youtube clips are interesting. I think Streisand sounded as well as
she can these days (and better than she did at the Van Guard or some
of her albums of the last few years. But "live" always gives that
extra "echo"). I thought her gray gown was extraordinary, not only in
design (so nice to see her out of black), but also with that clever
drape under her right arm, which allowed her to hide her figure in
profile when she waved her arm - which she did a lot. Love her hair
and makeup.

I've read the set-list and it's pretty dull going to me. And there were
too many duet guests, although they all seemed to sing well, especially
Jaime Foxx.

No question Streisand will have this out on Blu Ray and HD. I will
purchase that, but ignore the Encore album (except for one complete
listen on Youtube).
