It's shocking that this film - originally intended for a TV special - has never been properly restored and officially released. The leaked excerpts show it was top class, so why not let us have it in full, and with pristine quality?
Som Luong, Mark P.: Are you guys on drugs. She was 25 years too old and both Pearl Bailey and Ethel Merman sang it better. Not everything that Streisand does is “better than buttah”.
Wow, how amazing. Her voice is so strong, ringing and resonant. Her voice is very powerful but not in a "Shirley Bassey" kind of way. Shirley Bassey always sing at full volume, that's her default setting. Barbra can be loud, soft and everything in between. She is devoid of any habits, she just adjust to what the lyrics or her inspiration demands. She can be breathy one minute and growl like a tigress the next. She never strain her voice, it looks so easy. And since she's a natural (she never took a lesson), her singing doesn't sound manufactured. It's always fresh, spontaneous, free with a certain kind of purity, innocence, vulnerability. There is a certain detachment also in her delivery, like she doesn't care if she isn't liked, contrary to someone like Lea Michele who wants you desparately to love her (even if I love Lea).
You are completely right, Barbra has a breath and vocal control like no other, even Shirley bassey, Judy garland and Whitney aren’t a match for her… Truly the queen, and the charm of Barbra is that she is one of the greatest actresses of her generation, and she mixes the singing and acting in stage perfectly… Ps: I can’t stand Lea Michele and she isn’t comparable to Barbra in any way…
Barbra at her very best. She later started singing more softly but that trombone growl she had at the time in contrast with her crystal clear high notes just went straight to your heart. Even the nasal quality of her tone was pretty and brought perfect emotional depth to the material. Her fashion sense and presentation were absolutely beautiful here as well. She was a rebel up until the 80’s where she became a much more polished version of herself. Cannot wait for her book.
I was at this show 50 years ago tonight, the night before this film was made. It was to be a TV special, but was only telecast on Ed Sullivan in this great segment. I was 16 years old. It was a memorable night. For $15, you got Barbra and a lobster dinner. I still have the program/menu. Her singing and star power were consummate perfection. I feel lucky to have been there and remember the show vividly. That same afternoon Ted Kennedy had gone on TV to try to explain Chappaquidick. To think, Barbra was just singing in Hyde Park a week or so ago. Like the song says, "She's still going strong."
Great memories, Jorvieto! Elvis would make his premiere at The International Hotel three days after, on July 31, 1969. Do you have photos of this time? (in Las Vegas, at hotel...?)
@@mwendler I don't have any photos, only the program. I wish I had taken pictures. The hotel was brand new. Just outside the showroom was a baccarrat table, and Bill Cosby was playing there an hour or two before Barbra's show started, placing huge bets. It was so hot in Vegas (of course). Peggy Lee was doing the lounge show. We didn't see her. The oddest thing -- when I went down to scout out where the showroom was that afternoon, a man came up to me and asked me if I was with CBS. I had no idea they were going to be taping it. Being 16, I can't have looked like a CBS staff person. Will never figure that one out. I wish we could have stayed and seen Elvis.
@@Jorvieto Fabulous memories! I'm trying to find internal photos of The International Hotel at that time but is very hard. I think if you tell you were of CBS staff, maybe you would have backstage access and maybe could see Barbra face to face. But I agree, with 16 years old, probably nobody would believe in you. (kkkkk) I don't have 100% certain but I think possible Elvis was in the audience at this show presented by Ed Sullivan. If yes, maybe CBS can had registered some footage of him. I have Elvis 69 menu but a special edition released in 2009. Original version is very expansive.
@@mwendler I haven't looked for photos of the International. Would love to see some, but I remember it very vividly. It had some wild colors. The carpet in the lobby and casino was a pattern with mainly lime green and pink. The Showroom Internationale, as they called it, was mostly turquoise, with red velvet booths and a red velvet looking stage curtain. Did you get to see Elvis there? The special edition menu sounds cool.
@@Jorvieto unfortunately I don't see Elvis in a live concert. I'm from Brazil and I was born in 75. Now, I'm researching about that period of his career between 1968 and 1970, trying to find out more informations. 1969 was a great year for him and to wrote a post I needed read about Barbra Streisand on International.
My great grandmother, two grandmothers, my mother, and a smattering of all the older men in my family have been telling me this since 1964! BRAVO BABS! BRAVO!
I am always totally awestruck when I hear the lovely Barbra. My idol for more than 50 years. I have every recording I could find, and my son took me to Hyde Park, London to see her live in the last 3 years, A lifetime ambition. I saw her too, in Funny Girl in London when we were both so young. Cannot imagine life without her.
This is a gem, I've never seen this before. I've always love the movie since I was a little kid dreaming one day to sing like her, you don't see performances like this no more, Barbara Streisand was gifted with a beautiful voice, amazing just amazing my hat off!!!
The woman has a perfect understanding of what a song requires in terms of delivering the drama and theatre of a song, Using her great pipes, her great finesse with lyrics, her wild and exotic beauty (with the fab hair, superb make up and exquisite gown, she looks especially a vision in this clip ) and also her great clowning abilities she delivers here an absolutely riveting and unforgettable performance! And for that she has my eternal gratitude. ,
I've been a huge fan for 50 years since seeing the movie Funny Girl. Never heard a voice so beautiful, with perfect interpretation. Her story is amazing considering the fact that people said "she would never make it". She's the absolute best talent and the last of the truly great legends.
I've never seen this video! Loved ❤ it! It clearly shows her comedic genius along with her infinite ♾️ other talents! Will never be anyone of her caliber again! Thank you, Barbra! ❤
She has remained so true to her unique and classy performance style. Dialogue, humor, fashion, and stage set. A setee? Of course! No one else puts on a show like her or ever will. She creates a comfortable and engaging set and rapport with the audience while still making it about her singing, not gimmicks. And we watch spellbound!
this clip of the concert is Sublime and mind-boggling. Since it was all taped it is in Barbra's vault and i assume it was not released at the time as right after this movie and On a Clear Day Barbra had to change her image to the 1970s to stay relevant. Just think she was a legend and still in her 20's. I am certain as time moves on this entire concert will be released, Barbra, is pretty much settling down now as she heads to 82 and wants everyone to see all the incredible works she's been storing in her vault. Look how much she just gave us with The Yentl album and the restored scenes from TWWW. She is an Earth Angel.
Bae M.: She got the history wrong. Thornton Wilder wrote an adaptation of a German comedy, from the 1890’s, and called it THE MERCHANT OF YONKERS with Jane Cowl in 1938 but it failed on Broadway. He rewrote it as THE MATCHMAKER in 1955 for Ruth Gordon and it was filmed with Shirley Booth. Then the idea was to musicalize it and Ethel Merman and Nanette Fabray were the first two choices. Despite the voice, she wad 25 years too young for the role and the film flopped badly, BIG TIME.
Wow , the audio on this her voice WOW , WISH THE VIDEO was not so grainy but still you just can not stop watching her and listening , I will take this over the over production crap they have now a days , love this
Hello Dolly is my absolute favourite movie! And finding this video has made my 2023 so far! 🥳🥰 And “Before the Parade Passes By” is my favourite song from the musical … I’m on cloud 9 now. 🥳🥰 And Babs is THE best!!! 🎉
@@joshuaalexander6296 I so wish I would have had the opportunity to see Shirley in concert. Lucky you! It is incredible how her voice has held up! I've seen Barbra twice. Both times amazing. I think Barbra is done singing. Her voice has aged alot. I think its because she didn't use her voice like Shirley did. Shirley has never really stopped singing for her fans.
@@markp2827 yea Barbra says she never vocalized and practiced up keeping her voice which Is terribly sad because I dnt think we’ll ever get a voice like that again. I’m ready for her memoir snd bon soir album
I’m trying to think of any singer today who could just open her mouth and sing like this - without autotune or fireworks or backup dancers or skimpy costumes. Streisand knew how to put her cards on the table.
this was so beautiful! prettiness with power and comedy! completely execlelence! i love this performance! ugh it was a beautiful performance. i love her voice so much!!!!! it’s in my soul!!!! thank you for barbra!
This looks like it was so fun for her you can tell with all that energy and she was so on point with everything from her kemetic style to her music super fragilistic expialidocious
This is shortly before she stopped performing in major live events. It’s so wonderful to hear her and also her patter - open & charming. And the voice … well… LIVE?! Brava.
everybody knows during barbra’s time nobody could sing as good as her! lay off! get a grip and stop hating on somebody who’s clearly the best forever! you all wish you could sing like her!
Is this segment available to purchase on any kind of professional DVD? I hope it has been preserved and/or restored as the color is so very faded and the video has clearly deteriorated. Not that it makes one damn bit of difference for how phenomenal Barbra Streisand is as a singer and entertainer! I would just love to be assured that this is in pristine condition somewhere in the world. (if not, I'd be willing to volunteer my retirement years to find and preserve it!) This is a treasure for the ages!
i don’t have to compare her...she is my favorite actress, singer, and she’s sexy! i love her ! i don’t care if she has the best voice. but it is the prettiest voice to date. amd she does have one of the best voices to date! her voice is so pretty! it really is! she’ll always be my favorite who touches me like nobody else!
You're right. There's a French-German documentary about her on YT now ( ua-cam.com/video/hXZeG6rWFls/v-deo.html ) containing this whole segment from "one of those cold winter nights, Horace" up to the final top note in chrystal clear sound AND resolution (ok, "chrystal clear" might be a bit exaggerated, but just a bit), starting at about 33.45. Damn, I knew it had to be out there. Hopefully she will release this at some point, it's one of her finest and most outstanding performances. And btw: The dress is SO beautiful, once you can see it clearly ;)
i seem to recall seeing another clip of this but it also showed and encore performance of " on a clear day you can see forever" can anyone confirm this?
I don't think Ed Sullivan made it clear that this was virtually part of Barbra's act at her current residency at the (brand new) International Hotel in Vegas (July 2-Aug15 1969). Critics ripped the opening night to shreds claiming Barbra didn't even acknowledge the audience because she felt they were hostile, so she reportedly sang to the orchestra with her back to the audience most of the 55 mins.. But the second night went better and by the time this was filmed, Barbra had the act down pat and was clearly enjoying herself. She was paid over a $1 million dollars, the highest in Vegas' history at the time. Tickets were $15 dollars!
Barbra was too young for the film version of "Dolly" but wisely, instead of acting old, she just went with it... a young Dolly. Carol Channing's book would later crow about Barbra's film failing, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
No one can sing a song or entertain us like Barbra. She didn’t want the part but wise men like director Gene Kelly picked her so don’t blame her. Carol Channing did it on Broadway but I don’t think she could have handled the singing on the movie.
Well, first On A Clear Day (1970), Stoney End (Feb '71) - then BJS (Aug '71). Barbra Joan Streisand (Barbara Joan Streisand - flip side of album cover) is my favorite 70's album of hers, followed closely by Lazy Afternoon.
Watch how Baz Luhrmann totally builds, in Australia, the same scenario for "Elvis". The real Presley opened a day after this Streisand show was filmed. ua-cam.com/video/17KcZMVVjbA/v-deo.html
I've met her 3 times - once at 12 when I was receiving a vocal award - once when I was 25 with Paul Jabara (Enough Is Enough) and once shortly after that when we partied together at Bob Esty's house.
Unbelievable that Walter Matthau said to her, "I have more talent in my farts than you have in your whole body." But she became really good friends with his wife
I met Ruth Gordon who starred in this story in 1954 in 1982 during my 1st year in College at Emerson in Boston. We hit it off right away and she invited me to live with her that next summer in Martha's Vineyard for 3 months. I did. We smoked pot - drank green tea and went yard sailing everyday - laughing our asses off. It was very HAROLD AND MAUDE without the sex. She was sexy thought in a way - very spunky at 94 with alot left in the tank. Then I met Barbra in Hollywood 3 months later.
I’d like to see more of Barbra live at time! She was at her absolute best vocally. Her energy and range was something else!
It's shocking that this film - originally intended for a TV special - has never been properly restored and officially released. The leaked excerpts show it was top class, so why not let us have it in full, and with pristine quality?
Some say she was too young to play Dolly, but I think she was perfectly charming and captivating...and her singing!
Totally agree! The best Dolly! And... no one ever came close to singing the score like Barbra.
She was delightful!!!!….❤❤❤❤
Som Luong, Mark P.: Are you guys on drugs. She was 25 years too old and both Pearl Bailey and Ethel Merman sang it better. Not everything that Streisand does is “better than buttah”.
Agree- Streisand even stated later she was too young, but when she sings "Before the Parade Passes By" with such passion, you believe her!
This is the best live performance of any singer ever!!!!!!!!!!
"It's a little lumpy but it rings"😂😂 Her comedic choices are masterful.
Wow, how amazing. Her voice is so strong, ringing and resonant. Her voice is very powerful but not in a "Shirley Bassey" kind of way. Shirley Bassey always sing at full volume, that's her default setting. Barbra can be loud, soft and everything in between.

Incredible talent
An original. There has never been anyone like her and most likely, never will be.
The woman is truly touched by the Divine and thank God for that simple fact!
Wish the sound was better on this video ,BUT IT’S STILL “FANTASTIC. “. Love Barbra…… Chris in Portland,🥀 Oregon. ♥️🎶🥀🎶♥️🥰😘👏👏👏
It’s more than 50 years ago lifted from a TV show. Just enjoy it. Why complain?

I never saw this treasure before...LOVED IT!!!!!
Her voice cannot be imitated. She is truly one of a kind.
That's true, haven't heard a voice like hers. She's amazing. There's no other like her.
...everyone is...even YOU! 🥰
Joshua Alexander: She is one of the most imitated voices and mannerisms in the business.
I absolutely agree! One of a kind, talented woman!
Selfishly wishing that final note was held longer. But what a GREAT archival moment to have!!!!

The way she sounds exactly the same as in the recording studio version of the songs 😩🤍🤍🤍🤍
what a beauty ! who said she wasn´t beautiful ?
No lip synching for Barbra. She wouldn't never do that.
So so wonderful Barbra, and so young. Very excited about hello Dolly at the Palladium this July with gorgeous Imelda Staunton.
this was so beautiful! prettiness with power and comedy! completely execlelence! i love this performance! ugh it was a beautiful performance. i love her voice so much!!!!! it’s in my soul!!!! thank you for barbra!

Critics ripped the opening night to shreds claiming Barbra didn't even acknowledge the audience because she felt they were hostile, so she reportedly sang to the orchestra with her back to the audience most of the 55 mins..

Where did this take place? Did I miss that info?

It was Matthau that was miscast.
No one can sing a song or entertain us like Barbra. She didn’t want the part but wise men like director Gene Kelly picked her so don’t blame her. Carol Channing did it on Broadway but I don’t think she could have handled the singing on the movie.
A the next year it was barbara joan streisand album and a complete evolution
Well, first On A Clear Day (1970), Stoney End (Feb '71) - then BJS (Aug '71).
Barbra Joan Streisand (Barbara Joan Streisand - flip side of album cover) is my favorite 70's album of hers, followed closely by Lazy Afternoon.
Barbra ♥️😘👏🫶👌👍🙏
She certainly didn't have stage fright then!

How lucky can you get!
(At least I've seen her in concert).
Unbelievable that Walter Matthau said to her, "I have more talent in my farts than you have in your whole body." But she became really good friends with his wife
I met Ruth Gordon who starred in this story in 1954 in 1982 during my 1st year in College at Emerson in Boston. We hit it off right away and she invited me to live with her that next summer in Martha's Vineyard for 3 months. I did. We smoked pot - drank green tea and went yard sailing everyday - laughing our asses off. It was very HAROLD AND MAUDE without the sex. She was sexy thought in a way - very spunky at 94 with alot left in the tank. Then I met Barbra in Hollywood 3 months later.
