I saw this concert at Madison Square Garden on June 26,1994. When she sang "the more I live, the more I learn" and the orchestra started the buildup, 17,000 people collectively inched forward. There was a power to the anticipation of the crowd which actually made a humming sound. I took a friend with me who never understood why I loved Barbra. At the end of this medley he grabbed me and said "now I understand".
You are a very very very lucky guy. If there's a performance in a concert I wish I could have seen is this one ! I think I would have cried like a baby from emotion. Can't get tired of watching this moment !
She is just extraordinary. She makes me cry every time. I have't gotten to Yentl in the book yet.... Looking forward to hearing her talk about it and about this concert.
She stuns me every time she opens her mouth. I saw her in 2016 on her final concert tour. I was totally blown away. The greatest icon of the 20/21 century.
This woman is objectively the most precise and awe-inspiring singer in history. Where have you heard such precision before. That is how you win 5 Emmy awards and a Peabody for this special. She is simply the Rolce Royce of singers. She cannot be in a top 10 list because she is in a class by herself
Stunning! No other word for it. When you walk out of one of her concerts, that's how you feel... stunned, euphoric, and loving the world. Nobody rushing to get to their cars. Just people calmly walking out shoulder to shoulder, looking at each other with a look that says, "What the hell just happened? What have we just witnessed? There is no drug out there that competes with the natural high of a live Barbra Streisand concert. And there's no dancers, acrobatics, time-fillers, etc. Just one woman with a microphone standing center stage for the most part, and one fantastic orchestra. Loving sharing in this journey of Barbra's career with you, Saeed. Oh and, it's not so much about being "smart," which you most definitely are, it's about being "aware" and in the moment. 😉
@SaeedReacts. It is indeed, and I was fortunate enough to go through it three times. And the pleasure is all mine to be a spectator on this journey. At 82, only God knows how much longer Barbra has in our dimension...I believe in honoring people's contributions to our history while they're still here, not only when they pass. Thanks for being a medium for that. Not just for Barbra, but for others... you do good work on this channel. 👏
@@SaeedReacts. Yes, I have seen her live 3 times. It is incredible to be in the same room with her. And over the years, she has or seems much more relaxed while performing and is having fun. So glad you reviewed and watched this. In her Timeless milennial Dec 31, 1999/Jan 1, 2000 concert, she does a "tri-et" with these two Barbra's and her 15 year old played by a young singer/actress named Lauren Frost. Equally stunning: th-cam.com/video/lTmKa8bXs90/w-d-xo.html The part with "young Barbra" starts at around 5 minutes in. Enjoy!
One of her many greatest performances…just leaves you stunned! When I first heard that note at the end of “A Piece of Sky”, I thought…how in the world could she have held that for so long?!! I thought it was on a loop, but it wasn’t…..and at Eighteen seconds…it’s not her longest note held…that was on “Barbra Streisand and Other Musical Instruments in 1973 when she held a 23 second belt at the end of a medley! Her voice and its timbre are truly unmatched! One of a kind!!!
I remember watching this concert when it went live on TV way back then, and I went out to buy the album as soon as it came out. Totally love this performance 1000%
I first heard this when I saw the movie Yentil and could not stop crying. Her acting is just as great as her singing. This brings back memories. She is a legend!!
So glad you are planning to watch the movie. These songs are beautiful on their own, but listening to the words while you watch the movie takes them to a different level.
I guess the longest time I heard someone holding a high note, was she at the end of the song “A Piece of Sky” (the studio version from the “Yentl” movie soundtrack). My friend, is hear to never forget! You’ll be mesmerized!!!! 🤪👍
This is exactly why you are perfect for music reactions; your vivid imagination, your love for the written word, your humor and wisdom. This was a stunning performance. Greetings from South Africa
I was lucky enough to be there that night at the Arrowhead Pond. It was an amazing moment in an incredible night. One stunning performance after another. Highly recommend watching the full video of that concert. Such fun to see your reactions to Barbra. I envy you discovering this great artist and her songs for the first time.
I was there too! Opening Night, and Closing Night, which is what they filmed for HBO! Barbra stayed and sang 2 or 3 more songs, in case they would be used in the HBO show!
Thanks again Saeed for a great reaction...as usual. That's how you put together a show. we had to wait for it 30 some years for Barbra to perform live and go on tour, but it was worth the wait. Nowadays singers don't perform live anymore, well most of them don't, but Barbra is just unique...15.000 people giving her a standing ovation after almost every song, that's incredible. She didn't do this medley in London on opening night, I was there, but the second time I went, her third show, she did it. This video brings back so many memories, I was only 35 at the time and being a fan since my early teens...mindblowing...
You finally got to see the Yentl Medley, how great! It's such a treat to watch you on your Barbra Streisand discovery journey. I'm glad I requested you to hear the studio album version of A Piece of Sky first. Now this medley is more appreciated. There's also a year 1999/2000 version of this medley.
Well, well, well...Finally! Lol! And your reaction, Saeed, did not disappoint. Isn't that a masterpiece?! By the standing ovations, you'd think this was at the end of the concert. It was only about two thirds the way through Act Two. She still had four more songs to do! For me, the best part of the medley was the duet with herself in the last segment of "A Piece Of Sky." When we were witnessing it live in the audience for the first time, we just kept saying to ourselves, "Wow!" and then another "Wow!" as she kept building it! And yet another "Wow!" when she finished! Haha! We were going crazy! Now, about your James Cameron suggestion, seeing Barbra's movie ending and her staging with it, the timing does work out. Lol! Yentl was in 1983, this concert series in '94 and Titanic followed both of them in '97. Hmm... 🤔 Hehe! Anyway, so glad you finally got to see it, or should I say, witness a true artist work her magic in front of 20,000 hysterically, exhilarated fans! Thanks for reliving a great memory with us!
She took me on a journey! Wow! Magnificent performance. I did assume it was at the end. Must have been quite the show 😄. Definitely will watch the film as well. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. Have a great day.
My friend, I’m a recent subscriber to your channel and it became my favorite reaction spot very quickly. Now I have the information that we are workers (I am almost retired LOL) from the same field! I’m a stage writer and director, also a screenwriter in my country. So it could be the reason I find your video comments so refined and interesting. You’re a writer!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 And talking about plots and storytelling, famous movie director Vincent Minnelli already said in the 50s: there’s no more original stories to tell, what will make them original is putting your point of view to tell them. And that’s true! Best wishes. ✌️🎭🌟🙏
A couple of details about this tour that tells you Barbra only wants the best for her fans. She traveled with a 62 piece orchestra conducted by Marvin Hamlisch. I don't know if she did this at every stop, but she had Madison Square Garden carpeted to improve the acoustics.
I'm so glad you got to see this (I think I'm one of the people who recommended it ;-)). Saeed, you're very good at this Your reactions have a much deeper, more personal analysis than many other people who do reactions. It's also very evidennt that you have read over 1000 books. Keep up the good work and thanks for being yourself and letting a lot of your own personality come through.
@SaeedReacts. Thank you for featuring so many of her performances. I'm a huge fan and it's surprising how many young people have heard of Barbra but are unfamiliar with her body of work. I can see you not only enjoy her performances but you understand what distinguishes her as an artist. Exhibiting her work can serve to inspire new talent but also helps to promote a standard that might otherwise begin to disappear and for that, reactions such as yours are to be commended. ❤️
What a great performance! I had forgotten that Mandy Patinkin was in the movie. He also has a wonderful voice and one of his best performances (along with Bernadette Peters) was in the 1986 Broadway production of "Sunday in the Park with George". A Stephen Sondheim musical about Georges Seurat and his creative process. I don't know if it's available on streaming services in Europe but here is the PBS American Playhouse filmed version that is available on TH-cam: th-cam.com/video/MdysnXgWO8o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8eoXg2Vg-gZA9BFV
I learn so much in these music reactions and the comments are filled with information. I so enjoy your reactions. Your English is very good. It’s interesting listening to you. I am from Louisiana and of French heritage. “Cajun”. You sound like us. So good.
I don't particularly like 'reaction' videos, but yours are the best. Very intelligent comments, sometimes poetic, actually. And always at the right moment. You're very good at what you're doing. Now, about the performance: I love -and I really LOVE- Barbra Streisand, but a lot of the credit for this performance goes to the magnificent lyrics of Alan and Marilyn Bergman, and of course, to the master musician Michel Legrand. Alan is still around (99 years old) but let's salute the memory and legacy of Marilyn and Legrand.
Thanks! That means a lot. And for adding a bit about the writers. And coincidentally (or not) i just uploaded a reaction to 'I'll Never Say Goodbye', which was also written by them. And i had also just looked up if Alan was still with us and saw that he was 99 years old.
In our time when all the reference points of what it means to "have talent" are lost. In our time when we talk about "great talent" as soon as an artist (or who claims to be or is claimed to be) opens his mouth and pushes notes while shouting or vocalizing 'ad nauseam', there is nothing better than listening to and seeing such a performance to knock all these pretensions to the ground and remind us of the real measure of what "talent" is; the one that, by definition, is essentially a matter of "exception"... and it's better that way.
When I read a book, I picture all the characters in my head, so I'm usually disappointed by the characters in the movie...they don't match! So if I see the movie, and then read the book I picture the characters on the screen while reading.
Bravo 👏🏾 por la gran reacción a barbra streisand en uno de sus mejores 💿 discos de su larga y extensa carrera película 📽 dirigida escrita interpretada y música de su gran amigo y compositor Michael Legran con quien ha grabado muchas de sus canciones música y letra de los mejores compositores en 5 décadas excelente reacción Saeed banda muy completa a tener en cuenta 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💥💫
I know a lot can get lost in translation, but just to be sure the record is correct... Barbra herself co-wrote the script for Yentl, which was based on the short story "Yentl, the Yeshiva Boy" by Isaac Bashevis Singer; she also produced, directed, and of course starred in the film, and became the first woman to win a Golden Globe for Directing. Michel Legrand composed the music to the movie's score, but it was Alan & Marilyn Bergman who wrote the lyrics; Barbra recorded over 60 songs in her career that were written by the Bergmans, including "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" (along with Neil Diamond), "Ordinary Miracles," and "After The Rain."
Hands down for the original. Barbara Streisand is a genius! Lara Fabians cover live in Montreal is outstanding too. The tone, energy and her performing is not from this world.
Funny, when Yenta came out, I of course loved the music, but hated the movie (just couldn't buy Babs as a boy), and then saw it 20 yrs. later and still hated it. But then I saw it again (during last Christmas), and was absolutely captivated. Go figure. So now I'm thinking maybe I need to give the absolutely unwatchable _Hello Dolly_ another chance. Nagh, THAT will never happen.
There are some fun and good moments in the film: Before the Parade Passes By is fun as is "Love is only Love'--One of her most tender songs. So, my feeling is don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.
@@eterneh489 Yeah that's a great scene/number as is the signature tune with Louie Armstrong. But the rest of the movie ... ugh!~ Hated Mathou, Crawford, and the annoying actress whoever she was. Barbra's scenes are the only tolerable moments in the movie.
Writing "Yenta" is funny! A Yenta is a yiddish word for a gossip and "busybody" who gets into everyone else's business. "Yentl" is a woman's name, so a completely different thing. Thanks for the laugh!!
@@snarkyenigma9219"Hello, Dolly" is one of my all-time favorite movies. I absolutely love it! I love Barbra, of course; but I also love Michael Crawford as "Cornelius". I'm a big fan of musicals.
@@kayblock-bourghs8285 The few (movie) musicals that I've ever enjoyed are Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St. Louis, FG, On a Clear Day, Yentl, Mary Poppins, Oliver!, and Grease. But interestingly, I hate Broadway (of which most of these are made from).
When I read the book first I'm usually disappointed with the movie. The movie has to be cut to a certain length, and doesn't have time for all the nuance, etc.
Omg - what a force of nature beauty talent - how lucky we are! TY for such a great reaction.
How lucky we are to be alive at the same time Barbra Streisand is on the planet with her incredible talent. She is the absolute GOAT! 👍
The long note of Barbra Streisand is 20 seconds WOW so amazing😘😘😘
Yentl is a piece of ART.
Barbra is Unique
I love the movie, I love the soundtrack, and I love Barbra!!!!!!
The very best singer of all time! Magnificent!
i agree…there are many wonderful singers…but no one can match her
I love this medley listening to Ms. Barbra in a duet with herself is beyond fantastic and sublime treat! She also directed this extremely well!
The GOAT
I saw this concert at Madison Square Garden on June 26,1994. When she sang "the more I live, the more I learn" and the orchestra started the buildup, 17,000 people collectively inched forward.

Thanks for this live medley.. Barbra's preformance is impeccable to say the least. Outstanding concert.. Great job..
You are a very very very lucky guy. If there's a performance in a concert I wish I could have seen is this one ! I think I would have cried like a baby from emotion. Can't get tired of watching this moment !
I was there too!
@@08davey I was there on June 20th, 1994 and believe me, every hair on my body stood up. Lol
She is just extraordinary. She makes me cry every time. I have't gotten to Yentl in the book yet.... Looking forward to hearing her talk about it and about this concert.
A performance for the ages.
Extraordinary Movie Extraordinary Album … Barbra At Her Best … 🔝
"Papa, can you hear me" from Yentl breaks my heart every single time...
She stuns me every time she opens her mouth. I saw her in 2016 on her final concert tour. I was totally blown away. The greatest icon of the 20/21 century.
Phenomenal. Every time I see it - and heard in live in Melbourne in 2001
This woman is objectively the most precise and awe-inspiring singer in history. Where have you heard such precision before. That is how you win 5 Emmy awards and a Peabody for this special. She is simply the Rolce Royce of singers. She cannot be in a top 10 list because she is in a class by herself
Every time I hear Barbra sing the word that most comes to mind is MAGNIFICENT! Perfection is her middle name. Hail Queen Barbra!
Stunning! No other word for it. When you walk out of one of her concerts, that's how you feel... stunned, euphoric, and loving the world. Nobody rushing to get to their cars.

It must be a great shared experience to see her live. Everyone just stunned 😀.
Thanks so much for joining me on this journey!

Incredible!! Just goosebumps!! ❤

Jip. That is possible about James Cameron😂
Thanks so much! Truly mindblowing performance.
He might have been inspired by this 😄
Greetings from Belgium.
I told you that's one of the most beautiful things you could ever experience. That woman, and that movie, are simply exquisite.
Oh my goodness. Yes, you NEED to watch the film. It's so good. There is no one like Barbra Streisand.
Definitely is on my watch list!

Back in the day Julie Budd used to sing Streisand and sound like her somewhat on tv shows

Love your Titanic joke
if you have time watch her concert when she did in Las vegas new year eve when we ring in the year 2000
Lara Fabrian does a cover of this Saeed..
But Streisand is the quintessential
The music was written by the great Michel Legrand, and lyrics by the phenominal Bergmans
Ciao SAEED , ora tocca allo YENTL di LARA FABIAN MONTREAL 1998 ........da brividi !!!! 👋
Revisa Classical Barbra, Pavane o cualquier otra, es una Barbra muy distinta, también maravillosa
Hands down for the original. Barbara Streisand is a genius! Lara Fabians cover live in Montreal is outstanding too. The tone, energy and her performing is not from this world.
Funny, when Yenta came out, I of course loved the music, but hated the movie (just couldn't buy Babs as a boy), and then saw it 20 yrs. later and still hated it.

@@eterneh489 Yeah that's a great scene/number as is the signature tune with Louie Armstrong. But the rest of the movie ... ugh!~ Hated Mathou, Crawford, and the annoying actress whoever she was. Barbra's scenes are the only tolerable moments in the movie.
Writing "Yenta" is funny! A Yenta is a yiddish word for a gossip and "busybody" who gets into everyone else's business. "Yentl" is a woman's name, so a completely different thing. Thanks for the laugh!!
@@snarkyenigma9219"Hello, Dolly" is one of my all-time favorite movies. I absolutely love it! I love Barbra, of course; but I also love Michael Crawford as "Cornelius". I'm a big fan of musicals.
@@kayblock-bourghs8285 The few (movie) musicals that I've ever enjoyed are Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St. Louis, FG, On a Clear Day, Yentl, Mary Poppins, Oliver!, and Grease. But interestingly, I hate Broadway (of which most of these are made from).
When I read the book first I'm usually disappointed with the movie. The movie has to be cut to a certain length, and doesn't have time for all the nuance, etc.
