Streisand Live Performances
The vast majority of Barbra Streisand's live performances occurred in the 1960s before and during her early film career. Eventually, singing live became uncomfortable for Barbra, and she virtually ceased all public performances in the mid-1970s. Except for a few benefit concerts in the intervening period, Barbra made a triumphant return to live performance in 1994 when she followed two wonderful New Year's Eve concerts with an enormously successful six-city tour. Streisand's Timeless show in 2000 debuted in Las Vegas and then visited Australia, L.A., and New York. Barbra returned to concerts in 2006 with twenty North American shows and took virtually the same show to Europe for ten concerts in 2007.
