Streisand soars with UK sellout and new CD...

It's a great day for Barbra Streisand fans like me.
The 65-year-old legend is still like buttah and managed to sellout her first UK concert date at London's 02 Arena in just 20 minutes. A second concert has already been added to the venue. Now, as big a fan as I am, I'm only making a special trip to London to see Wimbledon (or to see my friends Danny and Lorna) so I will have to settle for picking up a copy of her new CD: "Streisand: Live In Concert" which is just out today!
I'm such a sucker for Babs (I'm sure she would hate that I called her that but too bad, toots) that I have bought every album she's ever made (or CD now) - at least the ones dating back to the late 70s. This two-disc set pulls performances from 2006 dates in New York, Washington, D.C., and Fort Lauderdale. Among the songs are "Starting Here, Starting Now," "Evergreen," "Come Rain or Come Shine," "Happy Days are Here Again" and "Funny Girl."
It was playing Saturday morning when I was at the Barnes & Noble at The Grove and I thought she sounded TERRIFIC. But I can't post a review yet...gotta give it a real listen this week...
