That's my favorite. - An ice cream truck?
Come on. What tour has an ice cream truck?
Thanks, hi. - Oh, my God! This is great.
So let's see what you have.
Pumpkin pie ice cream? - It's awesome. It's really good.
Carrot cake. Honey, you love... - They just ran out.
They told me they just ran out. - No.
All I have is bottled water now. - Wait. Chocolate covered pretzels?
What a pushover you are. - I wanna taste the mocha-java.
The mocha-java? - I'm trying to lose weight though.
But I'm gonna go for it anyway.
Hi.
Hi, girls. - Hi, Barbra.
Hi, guys. Hi, everybody.
Every time Barbra hits the road, she wants to say,
"What can I bring the audience? What can be special?"
Sit, Sammie.
And as her distinctive and instinctive musical tastes go to work,
Barbra finds it.
Somebody crowd me with love
Was that the... - That was the slowdown.
But the drum was still going fast.
Right. You need to go to the new tempo after that.
There's always a reluctance on her part to dive into one of these things.
Because it is such an enormous undertaking.
She really customizes the show.
Not only for the audience, but to keep herself interested.
Don't you do it
That's a good thing.
You never think, "My God, she doesn't know what she's singing about."
You always feel there's a truth in what she's singing.
But I need that tremolo strings.
It's like, I want to feel like Papa is coming here.
Yeah, like that. That's beautiful.
Watch me fly
I don't put on that much makeup really.
I just make it a little bit more dramatic.
I've done it from the beginning.
When I was doing Funny Girl, they said, "We're gonna make you up."
I said, "What?"
I said, "Well, let's do a test. Let's do two tests.
You make me up for one and I'll make myself up for one."
And they did agree with me that mine was better.
That's that.
Okay.
Ladies and gentlemen, please be reminded the lights will dim promptly.
Only think about Act I. Do not worry about anything else.
Act I. - One song at a time and enjoy it.
Take your seats. The show is about to begin. Thank you.
One more time.
Okay. Stand by, house lights. Stand by, Pro Tools and video.
House lights out. Go.
Pro Tools and video. Go.
There's a nervousness that she's had all of her life.
Primarily because she likes to really be in control.
And when you're performing, you're not in control.
"I always could do better," she'll say.
"Why did I go for that note instead of that note?
Why did I wear this dress instead of that dress?"
It's always a continual frustration on her part
that something else could've been done to make it better.
Whoo!
Oh, that's so nice. Thank you.
Whoo!
So sweet, so sweet.
Thank you and welcome.
Oh.
And this is what the evening is all about.
You can close your mouth now.
Ooh, it's about mem'ries
Light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor mem'ries
Of the way we were
Yes, those scattered pictures
Ooh, of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all So simple then?
Can it be?
Or has time rewritten every line?
If we had the chance To do it all again
So tell me, would we?
Yes!
Could we?
Yes!
Mem'ries
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
The laughter we'll remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were
Mem'ries
My gosh!
Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you.
You know, it's been a very interesting time in the news recently.
But I'm not going there.
'Cause we'd be here all night, you know.
Uh, let me just say that music transcends politics.
And for me, in between planning this show and rehearsals,
I've been writing a book,
an autobiography this time.
And I thought I'd better do it now
before my memory gets any more misty and watercolored, you know.
So anyway, and writing this book reminded me
of how much I've enjoyed making records all these years.
And one of the reasons is that-
One of the reasons is that I'm in control of my own work.
And my brilliant manager, Marty Erlichman,
who's been with me since I was 19 years old...
negotiated a fantastic contract, a first contract with a record label,
that allowed me to have full creative control,
even down to the artwork of my album covers.
And it was good because the record company came up with a title for my first album,
Sweet and Saucy Streisand.
Sounds like a barbecue sauce, you know?
But Marty is here tonight. He's been my manager for over 50 years and, uh-
Hey, Marty!
And to give you an idea of how long that was,
it was when a tweet was what a bird did,
and the only people who had cell numbers were in jail.
So when we were putting this show together,
Marty told me something that gave me an idea for the first act.
He told me that I had 10 number-one albums
in, uh- over six decades, he said.
It's okay. I didn't mean to have applause there, but it's just a fact.
And I thought, "My God, have I been around that long?"
I guess so. So tonight I'm going to do a song
from each one of those albums.
And the next song is from A Star is Born.
And if you're wondering what I was wearing during that shoot...
it was Musk.
I loved making this movie in the 1970s
when women were beginning to really assert their need for equality.
And I wanted the female character to own that feminist spirit.
And this was my philosophy then,
and it still is now.
I want to learn
What life is for
I don't want much
I just want more
Ask what I want
And I will sing
I want everything
Everything
I'd cure the cold
And the traffic jam
Now, if there were floods
I'd give a damn
I'd never sleep
I'd only sing
Let me do everything
Everything
I'd like to plan a city
And play the cello
Play at Monte Carlo
Yes!
Play Othello
Move into the White House
Paint it yellow
Speak Portuguese and Dutch
And if it's not too much
I'd like to have the perfect twin
One who'd go out as I came in
I've got to grab the big brass ring
So I'll have everything
Everything
I'm like a child who's set free
At the fun fair
Every ride invites me
And it's unfair
Saying that I only
Get my one share
Doesn't seem just
I could live as I must
If they'd give me the time
To turn the tide
And always save room
For hope inside
I only know that love can bring
More of everything
Much more of everything
Then I'll have everything
Then I'll have everything
Everything
And then I'll have
Everything
Oh, good. Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I think we all want everything, don't we? Right?
Family life, work.
I've been blessed that so many of my dreams have come true.
So all you little girls out there,
even if you want to be president of the United States,
don't stop dreaming.
Nothing's impossible.
Now, back to history.
In 1974, there was a lot of social unrest in the country.
And songwriters were writing about it.
Carole King wrote this one that spoke to the times.
And sadly, it still kind of does.
Everyone comes from
One father one mother
So why do we complicate Our lives so much?
By being at war with each other
Maybe I'm crazy
But I don't understand it
Why do we seem to vote To dig more holes
It's such a waste of a planet
There must be a reason
That I can't see
Maybe somebody else knows
Knows better than me
All I know is
Everyone else is
A sister or brother
So we've got to look around again And stop
Being at war with each other
Being at war
With each other
Maybe I'm crazy
But I don't No, I don't understand it
There must be a reason
There must be a reason
There must be a reason
There must be a reason
That I can't see
Maybe somebody else knows
Better than me
All I know is
Everyone else is
A sister or brother
So we've got to look around again And stop
Being at war with each other
Being at war
With each other
I sang this one when I was trying to be hip, you know, in the '70s.
I love Donna Summer.
Don't put up with his stuff Don't you do it
Don't you do it
Now if you've had your fill Get the check pay the bill
You can do it
Tell him to just get out
Nothing left to talk about
Pack his raincoat, show him out
Just look him in the eye And simply shout
Enough is enough, is enough
I can't go on I can't go on no more, no
Enough is enough, is enough
I want him out I want him out that door now
I always dreamed I'd find the perfect lover
But he turned out to be
Like every other man I've loved
I had no choice from the start - I've loved
I've loved
I have to listen, but my heart - I've loved
Tearing us apart
I've loved
Enough is enough, is enough
I can't go on I can't go on no more, no
Enough is enough, is enough
I want him out I want him out that door now
Enough is enough, is enough
Is enough, is enough, is enough
Is enough, is enough, is enough
Like this?
Wow!
I'm so glad you like that.
How about my girls, right? I always wanted to sing with backup girls.
Meet Andrea, Stevvi, and Amy.
Oh, my God.
Thank you, girls.
Now, for my next song.
Oh, yes.
Yes, uh, it's funny. When I wrote the melody to this song,
I had no idea it would become a hit.
It actually was Marty who said, when I played it for him,
"That's gonna be a hit." I thought he was kidding, you know.
But it took me, gosh, almost a year, to learn how to play the guitar
for a scene in A Star is Born.
And I cut it out, stupidly, actually,
because I wanted to move the picture along, you know, so--
I'll show you a little bit more of it, okay?
If you don't like it, I'd like you to tell me, okay?
Mm-hmm. I will tell you.
If you laugh, I'll kill you.
I promise I won't laugh.
Okay.
Take a breath, Barbra. That's right.
So that was... of course before it had words.
Love - Sing it, Barbra!
Thank you.
Soft as an easy chair
Love
Fresh as the morning air
One love
That is shared by two
I have found with you
Like a rose
Under the April snow
I was always certain love would grow
Love
Ageless and evergreen
Evergreen
Seldom seen by two
You and I
Will make each night a first
And every day a beginning
Ooh, spirits rise
Spirits rise
And their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us
'Cause we have the brightest love
Two lights that shine as one
Morning glory
And the midnight sun
Time, we've learned to sail above
Time - Time won't change
The meaning of
One love
Ageless and ever
Evergreen
So evergreen
I'm so glad you like that. Thank you.
We love you, Barbra!
Thank you. Thank you. I'm feeling the love. I am, I am, I am.
It's wonderful.
Wonderful to feel it.
Thank you, thank you.
I've known songwriters Marilyn and Alan Bergman for, oh, my gosh,
since I was 18 years old.
And over the years, I've recorded, I'd say,
well, at least 60 songs of theirs.
And when they wrote "You Don't Bring Me Flowers," uh...
Neil Diamond and I each recorded it on our own solo albums.
And here's the interesting part.
There was a deejay in Kentucky
who was going through a divorce
and the lyrics really moved him.
And he discovered that both of our versions were in the same key.
So he decided to splice them together,
kind of like a dialogue between him and his wife, I think,
and it's been good for florists ever since.
You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When I come through the door At the end of the day
I remember when
You couldn't wait to love me
You used to hate to leave me
Now after lovin' me late at night
When it's good for you
And you're feeling all right
Well, you just roll over
And turn out the light
And you don't bring me flowers
Anymore
It used to be so natural
To talk about forever
But used-to-bes don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor Till we sweep them away
And baby, I remember
All the things you taught me
I learned how to laugh
And I learned how to cry
Well, I learned how to love
I, I even learned how to lie
So you'd think I could learn
How to tell you
Good-bye
'Cause you don't say you need me
You don't sing me love songs
And you don't
Bring me flowers
Anymore
Thank you, what a great audience.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
This next one is The Broadway Album, right, behind me?
Well, this cover has a little story behind it too.
The chair that I'm sitting in
is a reference to the fact that in my first Broadway show,
I Can Get It for You Wholesale,
I played a character named Miss Marmelstein.
Some of you saw it?
Really?
Whoa.
She was a secretary who sang about her plight, you know,
while seated in a rolling secretarial chair.
And if you wanna know more about that chair,
you're gonna have to wait to read about it in my book.
Because the chair actually has its own chapter.
In 1986, I said that I wanted to do an album of Broadway songs.
They said, "Why would you do that? You know,
your last pop albums, Guilty, Superman, they were hits.
Why do you want to do something different?"
They said, "Nobody wants to hear old"-- How did they say? "Show tunes."
"Old show tunes. They won't sell. They're out of date."
But I loved the idea
of going back to my theatrical roots.
So I made the record anyway.
And I have to admit,
it was a really good feeling when it went to number one.
Because in my opinion, this kind of music will never be out of date.
And thank God, most of you agree.
And recording The Broadway Album
gave me a chance to work closely with Stephen Sondheim,
who wrote this next song from Company.
It takes place in New York City.
It's the main character's birthday.
And he's surrounded by his friends, but he still feels alone.
And he realizes that he's never really been in love, you know.
And he's at a point in his life where
he'd just like to feel something, anything.
And his friends say, "Bobby, what you need is..."
Someone to hold you too close
Someone to hurt you too deep
Someone to sit in your chair
And ruin your sleep
And make you aware
Of being alive
Someone to need you too much
Someone to know you too well
Someone to pull you up short
And put you through hell
And give you support for being alive
Being alive
Make me alive
Make me confused
Mock me with praise
Let me be used
Oh, vary my days
But alone is alone
Not alive
Somebody crowd me with love
Somebody force me to care
Somebody make me come through I'll always be there
As frightened as you To help us survive
Being alive
Being alive
Being alive
Yes, being alive
Whoo!
You're wonderful.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
I love directing movies.
To be a director, you know, you have to have a vision. You have to...
Well, you have to like telling people what to do.
That's actually your job.
Your job is telling people what to do and that suits me fine.
Seriously, I'm eternally grateful as an actress
that my first movie
was directed by one of the world's greatest directors, William Wyler.
I adored Willy.
Willy guided his films with a firm hand and a clear vision.
But he also encouraged me to express my ideas.
Some he liked, some he didn't.
But he was always willing to listen.
And over the years, with every film I made as an actress,
I got more and more interested in the technical aspects of filmmaking.
Especially cinematography, actually.
'Cause I had a wonderful cameraman named Harry Stradling.
And he lit my first four films.
And he loved what he did and always encouraged me to direct.
But it took 14 years to get my first film on the screen as a director.
But I loved the challenge of how to tell a story.
Most of all, getting the best performances out of the actors.
This was Sydney Pollack from The Way We Were.
That was during Nuts.
Interesting movie, wasn't it?
That's Andrzej Bartkowiak, my wonderful cameraman.
And this was on the set of The Prince of Tides.
With my son, my dear son, Jason, who was so good.
And Nick Nolte and Blythe Danner, who were so great to work with.
You should've got an Oscar.
This is Nick, always trying to make me laugh.
And this is my dear Pat Conroy teaching me the shag.
And this is, uh, The Mirror Has Two Faces with the great Jeff Bridges.
And my dear friend Marvin Hamlisch, who scored the movie.
But...
Wow, that's so nice.
But the movies that I've directed were all labors of love for me.
But I have a special fondness for Yentl, of course, because...
It was a movie set in 1904.
And it's the story of a woman who didn't want to get married.
She wanted to get an education,
which was denied to her simply because of her gender.
Directing Yentl was a very gratifying experience for me in so many ways.
I guess it's true what they say too. "There's nothing like your first time."
In this song...
Yentl's father has just died.
She sets off to pursue her dream.
And it's her first night alone in a forest.
God
Our heavenly father
Oh, God
And my father
Who's also in heaven
May the light Of this flickering candle
Illuminate the night
The way your spirit
Illuminates my soul
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you see me?
Papa, can you find me in the night?
Papa, are you near me?
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you help me Not be frightened?
Looking at the skies
I seem to see a million eyes
Which ones are yours?
Where are you now that yesterday Has waved good-bye
And closed its doors?
The night is so much darker
The wind is so much colder
The world I see is so much bigger
Now that I'm alone
Papa, please forgive me
Try to understand me
Papa, don't you know I had no choice?
Can you hear me praying?
Anything I'm saying?
Even though the night Is filled with voices
I remember everything you taught me
Every book I've ever read
Can all the words in all the books
Help me to face what lies ahead?
The trees are so much taller
And I feel so much smaller
The moon is twice as lonely
And the stars are half as bright
Papa, how I love you
Papa, how I need you
Papa, how I miss you
Kissing me
Good night
Papa, I can hear you
Papa, I can feel you
Papa, how I love you
Papa
Watch me fly
Thank you for calling Joe's Stone Crab takeaway. Can I help you?
Hi, it's Barbra.
Oh, Ms. Streisand. How are you? I didn't realize it was you on the phone.
I'm in between acts, Charlie,
but I wanna make sure you got my order for after the show.
Yes, five orders of large stone crabs.
Mustard sauce, one of Joe's famous coleslaw.
You know that fried chicken you have on the kids' menu?
A few orders of that too, okay? - Great.
Can you deliver it to the hotel?
Not a problem. We'll have the order set up and ready for you very shortly.
Perfect. - Yes.
Enjoy your stay in Miami and we always look forward to seeing you here at Joe's.
Take care, Charlie. - You too.
Thank you.
You like it?
You got it.
Oh.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. - Hello, gorgeous!
Hello, gorgeous! - "Hello, gorgeous" to you too.
So, does the world ever frighten you?
It frightens me sometimes.
Especially what's happening to our planet.
We're experiencing the hottest temperatures on record.
But you know that already.
Our lakes are drying up.
The bees that are responsible for our food supply,
beautiful butterflies are disappearing.
The glaciers are melting.
Polar bears are stranded.
Our marine life is dying.
Storms are becoming more extreme.
The oceans are filling up with garbage.
We're tampering with the very gentle balance of nature.
But I think change starts from within.
So when I'm feeling anxious...
what I do is I just close my eyes...
make a wish...
I go into my mind
and create the world the way I want it to be.
Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination
We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in the world of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy
Explanation
If you wanna view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
You wanna change the world
There's nothing to it
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there you'll be free
If you truly wish
To be
If you want to see magic lands
Close your eyes and you will see one
You wanna be a dreamer, be one
Anytime you please
And please save me one
There is no place to go
To compare with pure imagination
So go there to be free
If you truly wish to be
So go there
To be free
If you truly wish
To be
Yes, yes, it's true.
I recently learned that,
uh, 375 scientists,
the world's leading scientists, I mean, including 30 Nobel Prize winners,
have stated that climate change is very real. And--
Even the Pentagon says that it poses immediate risks
to our national security.
So attention must be paid.
Now, earlier this year, I released an album called Encore,
which...
which is a collection of Broadway duets with movie actors who sing.
And some of the songs have dialogue,
and I was really thrilled when it opened at number one on the chart,
which makes it 11, but who's counting?
And that's why I needed, you know, great actors
like Alec Baldwin, Anne Hathaway,
Melissa McCarthy, Hugh Jackman.
Yeah, I got to sing with Wolverine.
I thought I had long nails, you know.
But what a cast. It was so much fun.
I mean, I thought I would show you a little behind-the-scenes video
so you can see what I mean, okay?
Surprise!
Hey.
When I heard Barbra Streisand wanted to work with me,
it honestly shocked the hell out of me, it still shocks me.
I thought, "Oh, God. This must be some mistake." But here I am.
At first, I thought she wanted to make an album just with me, which I-
As flattered as I was, I knew there must be a mistake there somewhere.
I tell you what, man. She's on top of it, baby.
Quincy. - Yeah, man.
All right. - That's right.
Man, you got to be on point, man.
I can't wait for my mom to see this. 'Cause my mom's straight hood.
"Ooh, Barbra. Ooh, you was at Barbra Streisand's.
Ooh, I love her."
The voice of Barbra is extraordinary.
It's just velvet.
[Barbra] Anne, you look beautiful.
Thank you. - Beautiful.
When I got the e-mail about it, my wife, who's the biggest Streisand fan.
She read it and she screamed.
I was like, "I don't know how on earth this has happened."
And she goes, "But you're doing it!" I said, "Of course I'm doing it."
Once I got over the shock, I was so, so thrilled.
You know, maybe try one a little bit more exasperated.
Takes you a long time to figure it out. - Yeah. She's a little... you know.
Barbra, you have to stop riding me. Jesus!
This is my friend, Melissa. - Crazy.
I'm Barbra, and, uh-
I don't know if you really have to introduce yourself to anyone.
Well, I'm humble. - I'm just saying.
You know, I heard you had a Starbucks in your house.
You heard what? - All the employees have to wear cashmere.
I absolutely loved having her direct me.
It feels fun, and yet you know that what she's saying, you're in good hands.
Beautiful, a thing of beauty.
I think I was as nervous being directed by her as I was singing with her.
But she was great. I went from being like, "I can't do it."
To like, "Yeah, okay. I fit here somehow."
And it worked out.
Any part you can play I can play better
Whoo, good. - Now you sing-
Yeah? - Yeah, that was good.
Let me just have this moment.
[Barbra] Oh, she was so cute. Thank you, thank you.
The next song from the new album is very personal to me.
Uh, my duet partner, Anthony Newley,
was a close friend, a great entertainer
and he performed this song in a Broadway show that he cowrote
called The Roar of the Greasepaint, the Smell of the Crowd.
Who can I turn to?
When nobody needs me
My heart wants to know
And so I must go
Where destiny leads me
With no star to guide me
And no one beside me
I'll go on my way and after the day
The darkness will hide me
And maybe tomorrow
I'll find what I'm after
He had such a great voice.
I'll throw off my sorrow
Beg, steal, or borrow My share of laughter
With you I could learn to
With you on a new day
But who can I turn to If you turn away?
Tony had many layers.
He was a complex man,
but yet he could be very childlike.
He was extremely sensitive
and he was someone who felt deeply.
With no star to guide me
And no one beside me
I'll go on my way and after the day
The darkness will hide me
And maybe tomorrow - Maybe tomorrow
I'll find what I'm after - Will I find it?
I'll throw off my sorrow
I may have to borrow
My share of laughter
With you I could learn to
With you I could learn to
With you on a new day - With you on a new day
But who can I turn to If you turn away?
Don't turn away
Who can I turn to
If you turn
Away?
Don't turn away
Who can I turn to?
I'm glad you like that.
Did you ever carry a torch, anybody here?
I'm not talking about the one like they light at the Olympics.
I mean in the heart.
Yeah. That's for you, Barbra. - Yeah, see?
Oh, that's nice.
Uh, but it's one that continues to burn
for that person who got away.
And that's the kind of heartburn you can't get rid of with a Zantac, you know.
Let me tell you.
This next song is from a show called Follies and...
the character is carrying one of those torches
for someone that she just can't get out of her head.
The sun comes up
I think about you
The coffee cup
I think about you
I want you so
It's like I'm losing my mind
The morning ends
I think about you
I talk to friends
And think about you
And do they know?
It's like I'm losing my mind
All afternoon doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand In the middle of the floor
Not going left
Not going right
I dim the lights
And think about you
Spend sleepless nights
To think about you
You said you loved me
Or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?
All afternoon doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand In the middle of the floor
Not going left
Not going right
I dim the lights
And think about you
Spend sleepless nights
To think about you
You said you loved me
Or were you just
Being kind?
Or am I losing
My mind
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
A few years ago,
I went to Lincoln Center for this lovely tribute event.
I kind of enjoyed it. Well, it was a tribute to me.
So, uh...
It was, uh, the Charlie Chaplin Award, which I really love.
And my friend, Liza Minnelli, performed a song there for me.
It was so beautiful, the song.
But I couldn't place where it was from, you know, or why she was singing it.
I just didn't recognize it.
So I asked her after the show. I said, "Liza, why did you sing that song?
I mean, it was familiar, but why?"
She said, "Barbra, you sang it in Funny Lady."
Hello.
So as you may know, in the story of Funny Girl, uh,
Nicky leaves Fanny, right?
At the end of Funny Girl.
And in Funny Lady, she meets this guy called Billy Rose,
a theatrical kind of impresario of sorts.
He's funny, brash, kind of like Fanny herself.
And in her own words,
Fanny said she was in love, madly in love with Nick.
But she was just "in like" with, uh, Billy Rose, you know.
And out of loneliness, trying to forget the elegant Nicky Arnstein,
she marries Billy anyway.
And this scene, uh...
where this song comes from, is on a train and it's their honeymoon.
He leaves the compartment for a moment
and she's trying to convince herself that she's made the right decision.
I loved a man
Truly I did
You must be big fans.
When he would touch me I'd act like a love-hungry kid
Isn't this better?
He's somebody nice
Somebody new
Someone who lets me react As I normally do
Isn't this better, better?
Passion is fine
But passion burns fast
Passion's design seems never to last
Better a match
Better a blend
Who needs a lover?
I need a friend
And now I am calm
Safe and serene
Heartache and hurt Are no longer a part of the scene
Isn't this better?
The way it should be
Better for him
And oh, so much better
For me
Nick Arnstein actually appears again in Funny Lady.
He's come backstage after seeing her show.
And Fanny thinks, "Oh, my God.
Maybe he wants to get back together again."
There's a scene in her dressing room
where he puts his hand on her shoulder and...
she sees a wedding ring...
on his finger and, uh...
she realizes he's never coming back.
But Fanny wasn't the type of gal to, uh,
to wallow in misery.
So she will go on.
She'll do another show and another show after that,
as she tries to forget him.
Ain't she got fun?
She's the luckiest one
Oh, every night's a party Where the fun never ends
You can circle the globe With my circle of friends
Someone I am crazy for is crazy for me
I'm his personal pet
Wow, how lucky can you get?
Ain't she got fun?
Yeah, yeah
She's the luck- the luck- the luck-
You sound like a broken record, girls.
The luck, the luck!
You think it's fun being famous?
Having a big career?
Everybody recognizing you?
Having people ask you for autographs when you're eating spare ribs?
Well, let me tell you what it's really like.
It's "fan-fucking-tastic."
Hey, there, gorgeous
Big success
What's your secret, gorgeous?
Just lucky, I guess
Satin on my shoulder And a smile on my lips
Money in my pocket Right at my fingertips
Wrap it up and charge it That's my favorite phrase
When I see the chauffeur Think I'll give him a raise
How lucky
Life's a bed of roses Whirling perfume on me
You can spare me the blues
I don't sing in that key
And if there's a man who'd leave me
I am happy to say
I haven't run into him yet
Gee, wee, wow
How lucky
How lucky can you
Get
I'm so lucky
[cheering continues]
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Wow, don't fall out of those chairs.
Yeah.
Going back to the younger Fanny,
before she married Nicky.
Boy, was she in love with him.
But everybody told her, even her family, her friends, her girlfriends, you know,
that he was undependable,
he was a gambler, he was a womanizer.
Ever think about what it meant to him?
Stop it! Don't tell me.
Don't tell me not to live Just sit and putter
Life's candy And the sun's a ball of butter
Don't bring around a cloud To rain on my parade
Don't tell me not to fly I've simply got to
If someone takes a spill It's me, not you
Who told you you're allowed To rain on my parade?
I'll march my band out
I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out
Your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn't fake it
Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me, love
'Cause I'm a comer
I simply gotta march My heart's a drummer
Don't bring around a cloud To rain on my parade
I'm gonna live and live now
Get what I want, I know how
One roll for the whole shebang
One throw, that bell will go clang
Eye on the target and wham
One shot, one rim shot, and bam
Hey, Mr. Arnstein
Here I am
Oh, no. No.
The ship sailed?
No, it can't be.
No.
My lucky number, 24!
Yeah!
I'll march my band out
I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out
Your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn't fake it
Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me, love 'Cause I'm a comer
I simply gotta march My heart's a drummer
Nobody, no, nobody
Is gonna rain on my
Parade
You bet your ass!
Thank you, thank you.
So a few years ago,
I hosted a fund-raiser at my home.
Thank you.
Uh, to raise awareness about women's heart disease.
And President Clinton was there and he spoke.
I'd like to share something interesting that he told us about our human DNA.
This study showed that no matter what the color of your skin is,
or where you were born, Cuba, China, Malaysia, Madagascar,
our genetic makeup is 99.9% identical
to every person on the face of the earth.
We are so alike, every one of us.
So it's simply a fact that we're all really just...
People
People who need people
Look at all the people.
Are the luckiest people
In the world
You know, we're children
Just needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children
Than children
Lovers
Are very special people
They're the luckiest people
In the world
With one person
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half, now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
First be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people
In the world
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half, now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
First be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people
In the world
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Oh, that's so sweet.
Thank you. Gosh, thank you.
Thank you so much. That's really lovely.
And now I have a surprise for you.
'Cause you're such a wonderful audience.
Uh,
when I first heard Jamie Foxx sing in the movie Ray...
about Ray Charles, I was blown away, and I'm sure you were too.
His performance won him the Academy Award.
And I was just absolutely thrilled when he sang with me on my new album.
So, folks, please welcome Jamie Foxx.
How we doing, Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami?
Miami!
Please, please keep it going for the greatest...
the most beautiful, blessed voice in the world, please.
Jamie.
Yes, keep... Come on. Come on. Come on!
Barbra, Barbra, Barbra, Barbra!
Thank you. Thank you so much, Jamie. I'm so happy that you're here.
It's an amazing moment for me, because to be able to be in front of you,
to be able to watch you growing up as a kid and-
I used to do impersonations of you. - No way.
No, I used to imperson- - No way. Way?
I used to do Sammy Davis Jr... - Come on.
...and you singing "The Way We Were."
Wait, you did both parts? - Both of 'em.
Mem'ries light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolored mem'ries
Of the way we were
I got three for one with him, right?
So to be here in front of you now is absolutely amazing.
People are so excited and I'm just- I'm blown away and thank you.
Please, thank you so much. - Thank you.
And you look fanta- you look good too. - Oh, God. You're the best, Jamie.
Ravishing. - That's why I want the best.
And I got it. I got you, baby. - Well, I'm here for you.
Well...
I mean, you know, hey. I said I'm here for you.
Oh, I thought you said, "I'm affordable."
Well, I know I ain't got no money for that, but...
I'll take up a collection.
You're beautiful.
So here's what we did on the record, okay?
Starts with a little dialogue.
Everyone has a dream, don't you think, Jamie?
Yes, but the question is, how do you make it happen?
Well, first of all, if you can imagine it, then you can achieve it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it might take a long time.
It might take a lot of hard work. - I agree.
If you want something you've never had,
you have to do something you've never done, right?
Mmm, I like that. - Yeah.
You have to have patience. - One day at a time.
Little by little. - Step by step.
And with a little love in your heart. - Oh, yes, indeed.
Take chances too, don't you think?
And then...
Climb every mountain
Whoo!
Search high and low
Follow every byway
Every path you know
Oh, yeah
It's a thing of beauty.
Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
Till you find your dream
A dream that will need - That will need
All the love you can give
Oh
Every day of your life
Of your life
For as long as we live
As you live
So climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
Till you find
Your dream
A dream that will need - That will need
All the love we can give
I agree.
Every day of your life - Of your life
For as long as we live
Hey, oh
Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
Till you find
Till you find
Follow every rainbow
Till you find your
Dream
Till you find your
Dream
I love you too, Jamie. Thank you.
Thank you, Jamie.
Jamie Foxx. - Thank you. I love you.
Thank you so much. The greatest. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Jamie.
I've sung this next song since I was 19 years old.
And I sang it for three presidents.
Uh, John Fitzgerald Kennedy,
Lyndon Baines Johnson,
and William Jefferson Clinton.
And-
It was written in 1929 at the height of the Great Depression.
I've sung it through good times and bad times, so...
Democrats, Republicans, red states, blue states,
may we all come together in these United States...
and be able to say...
and mean it...
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Please sing along if you'd like.
All together shout it now
There is no one
No one who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again
Yes!
Your cares and troubles are gone
Good-bye, cares.
There'll be no more from now on
Oh, nice.
From now on
Happy days are here again
The skies above are so clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy times
Happy times
Happy nights
Happy nights
Happy days - Days
Are - Are
Here - Here
Again
Those days are here
Again
Oh, thank you, thank you.
You know, it is the month of December.
So it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
and Hanukkah, by the way.
So the times have changed.
Santa doesn't ride a sleigh anymore.
You know, he takes an Uber.
Kids don't write him letters, you know. They just text him.
And anyway, since the holidays are upon us,
I thought it might be fun, uh, to sing a classic Christmas song.
And we've been talking a lot about record covers
and this one has a little story too.
When they needed a cover for this album,
I chose one from my Central Park concert.
Actually, it was taken the night before the concert during rehearsal.
I liked how the light accidentally happened to hit the microphone
you know, at the perfect moment, giving a kind of celestial glow.
And sometimes I like taking a familiar song
and sort of turning it upside down,
you know, with an unexpected kind of arrangement.
So if you're familiar with this next song and have the impulse to sing along,
please don't.
No, I'm just kidding, but if you can keep up-
I can barely keep up with it now.
Uh, feel free to sing along.
I dare you.
Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh
We're dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way, hey, hey, hey
Bells on bobtail ring Making spirits bright
Oh, what fun it is to sing A sleighing song tonight, oh
Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifting bank
And then we got "upsot"
"Upsot"? Well, it has to rhyme, you know.
Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh
Ooh, I love that.
Jingle bells, jingle bells Jing, jangle
Jingle bells, jingle bells Jing, jangle
Jingle bells, jingle bells Jing, jangle
Jingle bells, jingle bells Jing, jangle
Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji- Jingle bells
Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji- Jangle bells
Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji- All the way
On a one-horse
Open
Sleigh
"Happy Days Are Here Again"
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Thank you. I'm-
I usually walk off here and come back for my encore
and let you applaud more.
But I'm not gonna do that tonight.
I don't know.
Okay.
You know which? You know which one?
The one with the film. With the film behind it. You got it?
Oh, Randy, you didn't know I was gonna do this?
Oh, my God.
Is everybody ready with the video?
You know which one I mean?
This is-
Because A Star is Born seems to be
kind of one of your favorite films of mine,
I think you'll... I think you'll like this.
Okay?
Okay.
With one more look at you
I could learn to tame the clouds
And let the sun shine through
Leave a troubled past
And I might start anew
I'll solve the mysteries
If you're the prize
Refresh these tired eyes
With one more look at you
I might overcome the anger
That I've learned to know
Find a piece of mind
I lost so long ago
Your gentle touch
Has made me strong again
And I belong again
For when you look at me
I'm everything and more
Than I had dreamed I'd be
My spirit feels a promise
I won't be alone
We'll love and live more now
And live
Forever
With one more look at you
I'd learn to change the stars
And change our fortunes too
I'd have the constellations
Paint your portrait too
So all the world
Might share this wondrous sight
Ooh, the world could end each night
With one more look at you
With one more look at you
I want one more
Look
At you
Ooh
One more look at you, baby
I wish you a wonderful holiday season
full of love and light and peace and good health.
Thank you all for coming.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Yay, Sammie!
Sammie, Sammie!
More?
What?
Yeah, okay.
All right, you asked for it.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe you.
Lord, have mercy.
I'm gonna do a great song from the new album, by Rodgers and Hart.
And I'll leave you with that.
Oh, my gosh.
Love you, Barbra!
And so this song-
"The Way We Were"! - Love you, Barbra!
I started with "The Way We Were." What do you mean?
You want me to start again?
No way, Jose.
"Cry Me a River."
"Cry Me a River." Oh, my God.
No. I think you'll like this song.
Once I was young
Yesterday, perhaps
I danced with Jim and Paul
And kissed some other chaps
Yes, once I was young
But never was naive
I thought I had a trick or two
Up my imaginary sleeve
But now I know
I was
Naive
I didn't know what time it was
Then I met you
Oh, what a lovely time it was
How sublime it was too
Oh, I
Didn't know what day it was
Till you held my hand
Mmm, warm
Like the month of May it was
And I'll say it was grand
Grand to be alive
To be young
To be mad
To be yours alone
Yes, grand to see your face
Feel your touch
Hear your voice say
I'm yours alone
I didn't know what
What year it was
My life was no prize
Yes, I wanted love
And here it was
Shining out of your eyes
I'm wise
And I know what time it is
Now
You know it now
Thank you again.
What a wonderful audience.
Thank you.
Good. - Nice audience.
Great show. - My voice opened up on the last song.
Hey, you were terrific. Your voice was pure.
The 2:00 a.m. show starts soon. Let's go rest.
Yeah, right.
Watch your step.
Oh, my God. Come here, come here.
You have to see my baby.
She knows when the act ends. She knows and she waits for me.
She comes out of her little, uh, hole.
Come here, sweetheart.
Come here, my love.
My little baby girl.
My little beautiful girl.
There you go, sweetheart. Yes.
Come, precious. We can go home now.
We can go home now.
Thank you.
Joe's Stone Crab waiting for us, Sam.
Hey, Tom. - We got crabs.
Oh, my God. Look at that.
Where's that from? - That crab joint.
I haven't eaten all day, so this is my one meal I'm eating
'cause I'm trying to diet.
We get this delivered all the time.
From Florida. They send it to LA for us.
Tommy, pull up a chair.
You need forks.
Somehow we couldn't even wait to get the forks.
Barney, how's the shop doing? - I'll just eat with my hands.
'Cause it's a whole 'nother medium. If you can't understand it visually-
This is real key lime pie. Barbra, if you would do the honors.
Bring it over here.
Okay, shake it good. - Okay.
Give it a good spray.
Come on.
Come on. Fill it up.
Now it's a pie.
Whoo!
This is not good for my diet.
Oh, my God.
This is my new little baby.
Oh, my God. Look at this face.
Look at this face. Could you die?
As close as the sea is To the seashore
The tide still rises twice a day
That's just the ocean's way Of getting closer
Closer
As close as today is to tomorrow
At midnight they can finally touch
'Cause every minute brings them That much closer
Closer
I see your face in firelight
I hold you close in memory
And even though I know you're gone
I know you're here
As sure as there's snowfall
In December
Your love lives on in everything
Summer Winter Fall or Spring
Every thought of you
Will bring us closer
Closer
The distance may be large or small
Someday I pray that we may all be
Closer
Closer
