Sobre el álbum
El doble álbum The Concert documenta el espectacular regreso de Barbra Streisand a las giras de conciertos tras casi tres décadas de ausencia. Grabado en el Madison Square Garden de Nueva York, este disco en directo es el testimonio de un acontecimiento histórico en la música popular. El trabajo captura la emoción y la expectación de un público que por fin podía volver a disfrutar en vivo de una de las mayores leyendas de la canción.
El repertorio es un generoso y exhaustivo repaso a toda su carrera, desde sus inicios en Broadway hasta sus grandes éxitos del pop, todo ello con una producción y una orquesta de un nivel extraordinario. Por consiguiente, el álbum fue un éxito masivo y le valió varios premios Emmy y Grammy. "The Concert" es mucho más que un disco en directo; es la celebración de un legado y la reafirmación de Barbra Streisand como una intérprete sin parangón.

Letra
I don't know why I'm frightened I know my way around here The cardboard trees, the painted seas, the sound here Yes, a world to rediscover But I 'm not in any hurry And I need a moment The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways The atmosphere as thrilling here as always Feel the early morning madness Feel the magic in the making Why, everything's as if we never said goodbye I've spent so many mornings just trying to resist you I'm trembling now, you can't know how I've missed you Missed the fairy tale adventure In this ever spinning playground We were young together I'm coming out of make-up The lights already burning Not long until the cameras will start turning And the early morning madness And the magic in the making Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye I don't want to be alone That's all in the past This world's waited long enough I've come home at last! And this time will be bigger And brighter than we knew it So watch me fly, we all know I can do it Could I stop my hand from shaking? Has there ever been a moment With so much to live for? The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways So much to say not just today but always We'll have early morning madness We'll have magic in the making Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye We taught the world new ways to dream! - Opening Remarks1:13

Letra
He touched me, he put his hand near mine And then he touched me I felt a sudden tingle when he touched me A sparkle, a glow He knew it, it wasn't accidental No, he knew it He smiled and seem to tell me so all through it He knew it, I know He's real, and the world is alive and shining I feel such a wonderful drive t'wards valentining He touched me, I simply have to face the fact He touched me Control myself and try to act As if I remember my name But he touched me, he touched me And suddenly nothing is the same 'Cause he touched me, he touched me And suddenly nothing, nothing, nothing is the same - Evergreen3:17
Letra
Love soft as an easy chair Love fresh as the morning air One love that is shared by two I have found with you Like a rose under the April snow I was always certain love would grow Love ageless and evergreen Seldom seen by two You and I will make each night a first Every day a beginning Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed They warm and excite us, cause we have the brightest love Two lives that shine as one Morning glory and midnight sun Time we've learned to sail above Time won't change the meaning of one love Ageless and ever evergreen - Therapist Dialogue, No. 31:54

So long sad times Go long bad times We are rid of you at last Howdy gay times Cloudy gray times You are now a thing of the past Happy days are here again The skies above are clear again So let's sing a song of cheer again Happy days are here again Altogether shout it now There's no one Who can doubt it now So let's tell the world about it now Happy days are here again Your cares and troubles are gone There'll be no more from now on From now on... Happy days are here again The skies above are clear again So, let's sing a song of cheer again Happy times Happy nights Happy days Are here again! - My Man3:18

Letra
For all we know We may never meet again Before you go, make this moment sweet again We won't say good night until the last minute I will hold out my hand And my heart, my heart will be in it For all we know This may only be a dream We come and we go like a ripple on the stream So love me tonight, tomorrow was made for some Tomorrow may never come For all we know [speaking] There are so many challenges that our country faces, especially the problems of life in our big cities. so may we all continue to work together toward a kinder and more peaceful world; take care Ourselves and each other, and i'm really glad that our paths have crossed... Goodbye for tonight, remember it now and then Someday we may meet again For all we know Oooo...there's no telling where or when For all we know... [speaking] thank you so much! thank you! Well, this has been an unforgettable experience for me...nowhere on my tour have i been so warmly welcomed, than in the greatest place in the world, my home town, New York city! and there are so People here tonight! just, just imagine how boring life would be if we were all the same! and my idea of a perfect world is one in which we really appreciate each other's differences... short/ Democrat/republican, black/white, gay/straight...a world in which all of us are equal, but definitely not the same, right? hello times square! thank you New York! - Somewhere5:16
