About the Album

Live In Concert 2006 is a record of the Streisand's historic 2006 concert tour, sequenced according to the concert set list with individual tracks culled from performances recorded at New York's Madison Square Garden (October 9 and 11); Washington DC's Verizon Center (October 13); and Fort Lauderdale, Florida's Bank Atlantic Center (October 28 and 30).

On the tour, Streisand reinterpreted some of her best-loved standards while revisiting some rarely performed musical treasures from her celebrated back-catalog. Live In Concert 2006 included songs Barbra had rarely, if ever, performed live including "Unusual Way" (from the Broadway musical, Nine).

Fifteen of the album's songs have never appeared previously on one of the artist's live albums with four of those — "Carefully Taught," "Unusual Way," "A Cockeyed Optimist," and "My Shining Hour" — making their appearance on Live In Concert 2006 for the very first time on any Barbra Streisand recording.

Versions & Videos

Sony/BMG frustrated Streisand fans when they created different versions of Live in Concert 2006 and brokered exclusive deals with three U.S. stores.

Target sticker

Target stores sold the album with two bonus tracks. To confuse matters, Target also stocked the regular CD—without bonus tracks. Fans who weren't paying attention to the "Target Exclusive!" sticker ended up buying the CD without the bonus tracks.

Barnes & Noble sold the CD with one bonus track: “When the Sun Comes Out”.

And Borders Books offered a free 4-song DVD which included videos of "Happy Days" (from ONE VOICE) , "Alfie" (from TIMELESS) , "Can't Help Lovin' That Man" (from THE CONCERT) , and "What Are You Doing The Rest of Your Life?" (from the forthcoming DVD of Barbra's 2006 concert).

Borders LIVE 2006 DVD sampler

What is even more frustrating is that, depending on where you live in the U.S., it is nearly impossible to find the bonus track CDs any longer. The regular, 31-track, 2-CD album is on the shelves and the CDs with bonus tracks are gone. (You can still order the Barnes & Noble bonus track CD online.)

Free, online videos from the DVD special (filmed in Florida in 2006) were used to publicize the album.

Billboard Charts

The Billboard 200 is a ranking of the 200 highest-selling music albums in the United States, published weekly by Billboard magazine.

Note: The record company must submit an album to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) where it undergoes a certification process to become eligible for an award. The process entails an independent sales audit, which calculates the quantity of singles or albums shipped for sale, net after returns. The audit surveys shipments to the entire music marketplace, including retail, record clubs, television sales, Internet orders and other ancillary markets. Based on the certification of these shipments, a title is awarded Gold, Platinum, Multi-Platinum or Diamond status. The data here comes directly from official sources, mainly the RIAA online database.

End.
