Streisand in concert, 2006.

“More than two hours ... had passed when Streisand sang her encore, ‘Don't Rain on My Parade.’ Then she sneaked off the stage and returned with her old friend and ‘A Star is Born’ co-star Kris Kristofferson, who had played a concert at the Celebrity Theatre across town.

She embraced the demure 70-year-old country singer/actor like a long-lost friend, and in many ways we felt a part of that friendship.”

PHOENIX CONCERT NOTES

  • The response, which was rapturous throughout, reached ear-piercing levels when "A Star is Born" co-star Kris Kristofferson made an appearance on stage. Kristofferson, who coincidentally was playing across town at the Celebrity Theatre, hugged Streisand and waved. The crowd roar was deafening, and the audience felt like it was watching history happen on stage. It was the perfect lift to a show that was already in the stratosphere. Hope we don’t have to wait another three decades for her next appearance. (Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic review)
  • A resident of Phoenix for 23 years it was nice to hear her mention places she had been while her and the skit with faux Pres. Bush made funny references to our state and out wonderful Governor! She also said it was nice to see Arizona fighting bigotry in the recent election by shooting down the proposition to change the state constitution to ban Gay marriage. The crowd went wild when she made that comment. (Mark Pregont)
  • With trepidation, I was looking forward to the "political" segment – Phoenix being a red city in a red state – but it went over surprisingly well. Having been reworked since the election results of last week, it was truly funny and the crowd laughed, screamed and clapped with approval. When she mentioned her appreciation that AZ had defeated the inclusion of bigotry in the state constitution (by defeating a ban on gay marriage) the crowd was right there cheering with her. (Chris)
  • Can you believe that there is not one single photo to be found of Kristofferson and Streisand together on stage from this concert ??? (Barbra Archives) This was before Social Media and before most audiences began taking videos of concerts with their phones.
