Barbra Streisand returned to the concert stage after a 27 year absence on December 31, 1993 with a show that was hailed as the live performance event of a lifetime! Now, this concert is being released on DVD for the first time.

Barbra Streisand - The Concert: Live At The MGM Grand features a new 5.1 mix by Grammy winner Bill Schnee. As a special bonus the DVD has two rare tracks from BarbraÆs groundbreaking CBS specials from the 1960s. These two songs, 'When The Sun Comes Out' from My Name Is Barbra and 'It Had To Be You' from Color Me Barbra are being released for the first time on DVD. They have been out of print in any form since the mid 1980's.

Rather than simply a 'greatest hits' show, the production was designed along the autobiographical lines of a one-woman Broadway show. She employed music and stories to reflect on such matters as childhood dreams, relationships, family ties and social responsibilities.

From BarbraÆs first phrase... 'I donÆt know why IÆm frightened,' in the opening number, performed on a set resembling an elegant tri-level tea room in a colonial mansion and backed by a 64 piece orchestra. To the final note of the anthem 'Somewhere', Barbra completes an artistic tour de force. The video features a medley of Disney songs that was only performed at these two shows and a special appearance by Mike Meyers as Linda Richman.
