ST. PAUL CONCERT NOTES

Barbra rearranged the show once again in St. Paul. This was the first time she moved “Come Rain Or Come Shine” before the Funny Girl medley in Act One. She also tried singing “Happy Days” as an encore, instead of after the Bush skit. She also did not perform “When the Sun Comes Out” at this show.

The information about Streisand's Minnesota concert was provided by fans who attended the show and emailed Barbra Archives about it (Their names follow the tidbits in parentheses). Thank you!
  • Barbra played to the locals in her “food monologue” by mentioning the eateries the Jucy Lucy and Leeann Chin takeout.
  • The main floor ticket price in Minneapolis was only $450 not the $750 price being charged elsewhere. It brought out a lot of hardcore fans on the main floor, which was comprised of many affluent people from 20 to mid 40's. (Tony Andriacchi)
  • During her opening comments after “Starting Here Starting Now,” she talked about the Mall of America, and how she was gonna go shop cause she couldn't believe shopping with no tax! (Tony Andriacchi)
  • Q&A Segment: She was asked how she knew Jim was the one, after smiling and fanning herself she said, “Well he's intelligent, GORGEOUS ... (applause) ... and he asked me!" Then someone asked her to say hi to her grandmother who had been a survivor of the Holocaust. Barbra said she was so happy to have her in the audience and told us about the wonderful video she saw on the Holocaust in D.C. (Stephanie)
  • When she was singing Evergreen with Il Divo she noticed me and she paused while singing “morning glory and midnight sun.” She noticed that I was wearing a hand painted shirt with her face on it. She didn't stop singing but she pointed to the shirt as she paused. At intermission I changed into another shirt that I painted. When Act 2 started, in between songs she noticed me again and this time she spoke. She put a hand on her hip and said “you changed” and I yelled back “you changed too.” She then said “who drew that?” and I said I did. (Vee)
  • My night at the Xcel with Barbra was a dream come true for me, it was a birthday gift from my children. When we got to our section the attendant said that Ms. Streisand saw that we did not have very good seats, (we were in the nose bleed section to her left and behind her), she decided that if we where willing to spend $85 per ticket for such poor seats, that we deserved a better seat. The attendant gave us complimentary tickets to the first level up from the floor, directly accross from the stage on her LEFT. We made it time not to miss a single note she sang. I want to thank her for her gift and to tell everyone what a wonderful generous, gracious lady she truly is. She already was endeared in my heart but no words can say what she did for me and my daughter that night. (Patti from Solon Springs, WI)
