Barbra's sensational once-in-a-lifetime Central Park concert in front of an audience of over 130,000 people deserves a better presentation on compact disc. The first problem is that Barbra performed for two and half hours that night, yet only 37 minutes of the show are included on the album. Yes, I realize that this is as much of the show that would fit on a vinyl record in 1968, but I certainly feel that now (in the compact disc age) that the entire, full-length concert should be issued on two CDs. Another problem is this disc's passable, yet disappointing sound quality.

The fault lies in the source tape, which Columbia Records recorded separately from CBS TV, who broadcasted the show on television. There is noticeable hissing and even some distortion present, which distracts from the intimacy of the show at times. Barbra's performance is outstanding and deserves to be heard in it's entirety with the best sound quality possible.

I wish Columbia would get a hold of the CBS master tapes (which, though imperfect, are an improvement) and master a new disc from it. A HAPPENING, audio flaws and all, is definitely worth listening to because the concert is so terrific. However I would advise Streisand fans to consider hunting down the currently out-of-print CBS/Fox videocassette or the Pioneer laserdisc of the show. The video is also edited (to 55 minutes), but at least it offers the visuals and better sound quality as well.

This is, in my opinio, one of the greatest album for Barbra.
1. I Can See It: Amazing opening song. Its quality is pretty good, and the music and her voice are sensational. To be heard again & again
2. Love is Like a Newborn Child: Great song, with an amazing change between high and low notes. Though, you get a little bored from it after a while
3. Folk Monologue/Value: Incredible monologue, and hillarious short song(value)
4. Cry Me a River: One of the Greatest Classics, and beautifully sung
5. People: A lot of talk at the beginning, but no concert can be complete without people
6. He Touched Me: Classic after Classic, you can never hear enough of this song
7. Medley & Marty the Martician: Incredibly funny and a great sing-a-long once you get to know it
8. Natural Sounds: Wondelfull song that brings tears to the eyes
9.Second Hand Rose: An amazing rendition of theis beloved song. It's nice to hear the audience singing along
10. Silent Night: Great song, which is always touching with Barbra's voice floating
11. Happy Days: The perfect ending song, leaving you breathless

Although this is a great album, there are only a few songs, and for only 37 minutes, I feel there should be a greater number of songs. But all in all, a great buy, and you won't be disappointed

4.0 out of 5 stars Barbra's best live album May 22 2000
Format:Audio CD
Recorded in 1967 when she was at her artistic zenith and still a funny girl, this remains Barbra's best live recording.
