- SPECIAL THANKS TO THE NEAL PETERS COLLECTION for his outstanding photos of this concert. Without his contribution we wouldn't have pictorial documentation from that unforgettable night.
Barbra started a twenty-city tour in July 1966 after returning from the London run of "Funny Girl". Because of her pregnancy she was forced to cut the tour to four cities (Newport, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Chicago). She performed this version of "The Music That Makes Me Dance" at her first stop of the "An Evening with Barbra Streisand" tour, Newport, Rhode Island, July 30, 1966. As she explains in the introductory speech, this arrangement was used during the "Funny Girl" run in London. It was never released and it's very rare. The quality of the audience recording is poor, even though I tried my best to improve it.
I used mostly photographs and rare 8mm home films from that night. However, some photographs of Barbra using the black dress in the second act are from Philadelphia (she used the same wardrobe the second date).
My husband and I played a game: "What song best represents you to me?" For him, I chose "The Music That Makes Me Dance," and this version appeared here a week to the day after he died. I'm heartbroken that I can't recall his song for me, but, I have this - and the nearly 40 years we were together, together since the night we met. Thank you, Gustavo, and THANK YOU, Barbra.
You are lucky to have had such a special man. I know he was because this is such a special song. Treasure the memory of your 40 years. And, so what if you can't remember his song for you? Maybe one morning you'll wake up, and it will suddenly come to you! Or maybe it won't. What's important is the love and the 40 years- many of us don't get that. I'm so very sorry for your loss.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful moment of serendipity.
Marvellous ❤🙏
That’s a beautiful story and I am deeply sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing. My husband and I have been together for 42 years and I understand. ❤
I was there. Thanks for the great memories. I watched her rehearse. I climbed over the fence. She saw me. Didn't care. I was 16.
I was there also. I will never forget it.
I wasn’t there and I’m insanely jealous of both of you! Climbing the fence was genius, the special genius of youth!
@@oscar646 LOL. Now, I'd look at the fence and say "Gee, too bad there's a fence there. Oh, well."
Are we smarter when young or just have a lot less to lose? Probably the latter. The best advice is just to travel light and hop over all the fences we want!
@@oscar646 Thanks! I needed that, James. Seriously.
Hey everybody. It appears most of us are hugeeee fans of Barbra. We really need to petition her to release more concert footage of this time period. I know she has to have it in her vault. Knowing the perfectionist she is she might think some of it is subpar but I know we all wanna see it.
The magic was gone soon after Jason was born and she went west.
@@mzmiller52 ok 👌🏽.
Joshua, surprised by your reply. I usually get my head handed to me for pointing out truth.
Btw, same thing happened to the divine miss m. Bette Midler is schlock. Miss m was genius.
@@mzmiller52 REALLY? ua-cam.com/video/iJt9PeUwTAA/v-deo.html
@@mzmiller52 Its only your opinion and opinion is not truth - and this particular opinion is grabage!
Although nobody's perfect. This first lady of song is the closest to perfection I know. No doubt "the voice of the XX century" and continues in the XXI century as well.
This is such a fascination! I saw her on this tour at the Hollywood Bowl & remember that two toned gown vividly. Interesting how the younger Streisand approached these types of songs more bombastically than in the later years. She sounded determined to blow your mind ( which of course she most assuredly did). In time, and I guess as a result of her overwhelming success, she let some of this "listen to me I'm great" quality go. And rightfully so because she doesn't need to shout out she's great since this is quite obvious even when she's doing her nails.
The arrangers fit her performance style as well in the early years. The theatrical interpretations are what made the legend. Over by “simply streisand”. Same thing happened with Midler. Barry and bill Hennessy created a superstar out of a mediocre talent. She became everything she mocked as the divine miss m.
@@mzmiller52 Really???!! Barbra is everything but a mediocre talent, in fact she becomed a living leyend because of her GIANT ENORMUOS GREAT HUGE TALENT!!! And to prove it she she is the only one in the entire planet to have number ones for sixty years in a row, that makes your comment such a mediocre one, YOU CAN LIKE HER OR DISLIKE HER BUT NEVER DENIE IT!!!🤗🤗🤗
Eloquently put, my thoughts in your words. I adore her,I prefer her earlier work. The person who commented obviously didn't understand what you were saying.
@@edmundsookermany8733 He was referring to Midler as mediocre, not Streisand.
It just doesn't get better than this. Magnificent.
You’ve made my year by sharing this. I’m 61 and have adored BJS since I was 9 years old. Beautiful in every way
I'm 72 and have adored her since 1963, 13 YO! She still thrills.
She was 4 months pregnant at the time of this performance. She is magnificent, i have loved her for over 40 years.
This song always pops into my head when I think of Barbra. What a special time to witness her glorious rise to superstardom. It's just beyond belief!
When she starts singing i completely lose where I am
This was always my favorite song from the Broadway cast recording of Funny Girl. But WOW! Did she ever take the song and shake it up, making it better! This really makes you wonder what treasures are buried in her Music Vault of her recordings over the decades, things that for one reason or another were never released (at least so far).
Barbra is just perfection in every sense!
This is 1 of my all time favorites from the Broadway Soundtrack...I have been awed by Her Voice....and the material she bathes me in....can't wait for her new Album...Release me 2.....ot really never got better for me ...to listen to Barbra...yes Hers is the music that made my soul Dance...
The pre-superstar Barbra is the one I'm in love with.
Wow! Never heard a version anywhere near like this. This is amazing!
Thank you so much Gustavo ! You made a fantastic job to show us these extremely rare performance. .Despite the poor sound quality, you can hear very clearly that this performance is excellent. Barba's intensity and the way she holds a note endlessly is breathtaking.
Good god. The utter genius, the sheer brilliance.
As always, thank you!! It's wonderful to finally hear her sing that middle section I've heard talked about. (The 'fiddle and oboe' part...and she just slays it. I wish she had recorded a version of this arrangement...or if she did, I wish they had released it!)
"in advance", "for a glance", "dance": sublime #BarbraStreisand!
“in advance”, “for s glance”, “dance” IS THE WORK OFVTHE LYRICIST BOB MERRILL. All Streisand is doing-and it’s a big “is”-is singing and interpreting the lyrics.
I just discovered this and I'm in tears! Gorgeous!! Thank you, Gustavo!
Thank you. Extraordinary. What a treat!
as i understand, this number was conceived as a substitute for "my man," one of fanny brice's most iconic songs, when the copyright holders wouldn't permit its use in the original broadway production. in any case, it's a great torch-tinged ballad in its own right.
Curious, then, why did they allow my man to be used in the movie version?
This is fantastic! What a find! I saw her as a teenager in Atlanta (she was magnificent) on this tour, but she didn't perform the song there. Thank you, Gustavo!
Gee, I've never heard this before - with the added verses. You always surprise me with what you have. I think I have all the rare stuff and you come up with this gem.
Gorgeous arrangement! I (and a lot of other people) wish the whole concert was available with perfect audio!
Omg omg this is amazing. I woke up to this and went crazy. The best the best
I have the poster hanging in my apartment...I saw her here in Chicago the same year. Chicago was the last stop on her tour which she ended when she learned when was pregnant with Jason.(he was tagged the Million Dollar Baby by the press because supposedly that's what she lost by canceling) I didn't see her live again till Vegas 1970. Barbra forever
I had forgotten all about that but yes! The million dollar baby. I was in grade school then and it got a lot of press.
Brava Barbra! Bravo Gustavo! Thank you so much!!
I was there! Magical night. Especially when she sang "Silent Night". And she was pregnant with Jason.
STUNNING.
This is so great. Thank you!!!
Wow! What a great way to wake up to a rare recording of Barbra singing! Thank you so much💋😍💋. I've only been able to read about this fabled concert until now. And now I can hear it. I even enjoyed that background hammering. Lol.
My chosen role model since 63. I was 10. That was the same year I sat in the second row to see My Fair Lady on Broadway...
America was expressing itself in such beautiful ways then . Our spirits were all aglow with our visions of beauty growing..
During that stunning photography of
Barbra in Music That Makes Me Dance,
her voice was really set free.
Then, by my turning 13 she set the standard for every expression I heard, That was when her voice really began to blossom in such detail to match the call upon her innate ability to transmit the feeling and human meaning of a songwriter's beautiful work..
She's right, this song is very underrated!
This song was cut from the movie version. Another smashing Matz chart - she certainly should have done it for Columbia.
Sublime 💛
Pure perfection
You are wonderful Gustavo for sharing many rare video of BJS...thanks!
A true treat! Thank you
That early voice is just amazing. What happened?
I think the obc version is still the best, but it’s wonderful to hear what was left out on the obc.
Peter matz sure knew how to show off that voice.
what's obc?
Original broadway cast
That’s one of the best songs from the stage of Funny Girl, so good is it that years later her understudy Lannie Kazan recorded it along with host of other artists!
There's not qday that goes by that I don't think about Barbra.
Thank you for posting this!
“Hello gorgeous”! When I moved into my apartment a friend gave me this poster which you showed at the start here, which is now framed on my wall, and thanks to you I can “be” there back in 66! Thank you! Fantastic!
Thank you for making this. Grateful 🙏
QUEEN BARBRA STREISAND...MY BARBRA FOREVER...KING STEVE MUSSMAN...SOUL MATES ETERNALLY
Love it, Thank You!!!
Yes, she can sing !!
I wish someone had a recording of this song from her 2000 concert in Australia
$8.00 admission!! Those were the days.
Goddess.
Just tremendous
Una maravilla, tanto el vídeo como el audio. Mil gracias!
Just wow.
❤️ @ 5:37 she is in sync with the song. Absolutely amazing photos and footage. Where was this unarchived? A heart breaking song, and as for me...I do need more him!
Linda voz
Great arrangement. Barbra was in fabulous voice that evening. What would I give for an official release, Newport 1966! Didnt she also sing Les feuilles mortes that night?
I always felt the red and black dress should have been used for this song on broadway. She creates great images with her handling of this gown. Should also have been the theater poster for funny girl.
It is actually red and brown 😊.
No and I mean NO ONE could match or even come close to Ms Streisand in her prime. God given and perfect. This is the only version of this mediocre song I have ever enjoyed.
As long as you are giving credit to the photographer, you might as well (as a courtesy) give credit to my parents who shot the Super 8 film and my company, which digitized the film you downloaded from the Internet and integrated into the video. Barbra's people forgot to bring their film equipment and asked my dad (the festival's lawyer, briefly seen in the sunglasses) to film what he could - even if it had to be silent.
Of course I will! Please let me know the name of your parents, and please do tell a bit more about the story. Recently I've watched a Bob Dylan documentary. His appearances at Newport were filmed, even when he was not yet a big star. And Barbra? No one cared for professional filming of her concerts? Thank God for your parents and their camera. :)
This song as also Who are you now?and Cornet Man were cut in the movie.
What material they had all those great song writers
Admission $8.00...can you imagine?..
Although with inflation that would be about $70 today.
Those seats would be more than $1,000 easily -
Beanie needs to listen to this.
WOW
My cousin thought i looked like her, it's similar nose thing LoL i almost did a nose job my sister talked me out of doing so😂
oh and btw, she was 24 years old when this was recorded!!!!
$8.00 Dollars for a Ticket! I PAID $1,000 for mine in 1993 for the New Years Eve show in Vegas! But it was WORTH it!
BARBRA YOU ARE THE BEST...EXCEPT FOR DD.GGM❤🙏🐰😊👌🐞
Gustavo do you know of any recording of this song from the first night of her Australian tour in 2000?
I know she sang this one in Sydney, first night. But I don't have that specific recording.
@@GustavoDeSantaFe , it was wonderful
‼️♥️

The best version of this song goes to Carmen McRae
This is painful 😒
