Thanks Vee for reminiding me she did. I had completely forgotten about it. Do you think she's chosen Being Good in Philly because the Brooklyn theme was less efficient outside of Brooklyn?

Probably and maybe she wanted to show some critics and fans that felt that a tour at this point was ill advised and a danger for her voice. From past experience I've learned to always try to catch the...

Being Good is a great opener too - and very brave. Not that I wasn't impressed with the way she handled the big notes on Never Said Goodbye - they were pretty much on a par with 94 - which is amazing.

It was definitely the last song that I expected and she knocked it out of the park and I agree "AIWNSG" as powerful as in 94.

I agree too concerning "As We Never Say Good Bye". I am not even sure I don't prefer the BTB version to the one of 1994. In my opinion, Barbra' s renditions on "Back To Brooklyn" are among the best of...

Barbra usually picks great songs to open the show...my favorite was the TV version of "Central Park" when they used "I Can See It." BJS had actually opened with either "Anyplace I Hang My Hat" or...

That's said, Vee, I try to keep my mind opened and if you know any example of his particuliar "positive contributions" to the show, I am interested in !

Maryline, I was only referring to the direction, the choice of songs and the concept of the shows. This is not to take any credit away from Barbra or the Bergmans or anyone else. I wasn't referring to...

Who wrote those opening lyrics for "As If I Never Said Goodbye"?

Well, I suppose Barbra could do "the right choice" for her shows without him, but I appreciate your answer. Thank you, Vee.

I'm sure she could and did for "The Concert" and all her other concerts. I appreciate that you listened to my answer. It is so great that you are still here. Vern, I don't have the cd booklet in front...

The Morton Report/Jim Curtis Thomas Wolfe was so right when he said, “You can’t go home again.” I thought of this famous quote when I was watching Back to Brooklyn. There’s a key moment that...

Thanks Vernon for that review. So grand, yet so true, it should have replaced the Jay Landers sugar coating in the booklet. The best review I've read since Stephen Holden's and Liz Smith's of her 94...

My guess is the Bergmans wrote the new lyrics.
