This is an exceptional album that I really enjoy listening to. It is Barbara Streisand`s second live album and it was recorded long ago in 1972. If you own her first live album you will be able to make the difference between the two. It shows how much her music has grown and diversified. Although she hasn`t played at concerts for nearly 5 years Barbara Streisand has often played in Casino`s in Las Vegas. There is very funny monologue where she pretends to be smoking marijuana. Two interesting facts- 1. This was Barbra's final album with producer Richard Perry and 2. Barbara Streisand has release one live album for every decade she has performed in, probably unintentionally. The big showpiece in this album is "Where You Lead/ Sweet Inspiration." The album can nowardays be bought very cheaply, starting from 2.50 pounds.

Includes liner notes by Mort Goode. On April 15th 1972, Barbra Streisand headlined a fundraiser for Senator George McGovern's presidential campaign. 18,000 people showed up at L.A.'s Forum to witness her first concert in six years. She did not disappoint. This album is 45 minutes of pure entertainment, a performance so enthralling that the audience would have stayed all night. She opens with "Sing," a lullaby from "Sesame Street" and her son's favorite song. She then goes into an upbeat, jolting "Make Your Own Kind Of Music." This is followed by a medley of "Starting Here, Starting Now" that was written by conductor David Schire, whose previous work with Barbra was the stage run of "Funny Girl." A slow version of "Sweet Inspiration" crashes into Carole King's "Where You Lead," a soulful Motown-type number that included a four-piece backup choir. Giving her audience the choice between "Second Hand Rose" and "Stoney End," the audience chose the latter. The rock tune transfers very well to the live stage. Barbra caps off the evening with her theme song "People," dedicating it to the audience. Considering the paucity of Streisand performances over the years, it's a treat to have a live album from her, especially one as captivating as this.
Album Reviews
Q (12/94, p.147) - 3 Stars - Good - "...The toe-tappers, heart-warmers and show-stoppers are all here...all presented with a production as sparkly as a sequined ballgown. If you avoid gagging on the fake sincerity and odd duff track, it's a marvel..."
