In October of 2006, Barbra Streisand embarked on her first North American tour in over a decade. Fans traveled for miles just to get a glimpse of one of the greatest artists of all time. She exceeded all expectations, thrilling both audiences and critics alike, while setting box office records at the same time.

Filmed at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, FL - one of twenty stops on Streisand's tour - this concert features the artist performing many of her memorable hits such as "The Way We Were," "Don't Rain On My Parade," "Evergreen," and "People." Streisand is also joined on stage by the Multi-Platinum quartet, Il Divo.

Over the course of her magnificent career, Streisand has met with extraordinary success in nearly every medium she has entered into. The actress/singer/director/writer/composer/producer/designer/activist/philanthrop ist is the only artist ever to receive Oscar, Tony, Emmy, Grammy, Directors Guild of America, Golden Globe, National Endowment for the Arts and Peabody Awards, as well as the American Film Institute's Lifetime Achievement Award. She is also the first female film director to receive the Kennedy Center Honors.

But, her true talent lies in her outstanding vocals. Barbra Streisand is the music industry's #1 best-selling female artist with 51 Gold, 30 Platinum and 18 Multi-Platinum albums to her credit. She is second in the all-time charts, ahead of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, exceeded only by Elvis. She continues to be the highest-selling female recording artist ever.

"Streisand Live In Concert" airs on Valentine's Day, Sunday, February 14 at 8:00 p.m. ET on HDNet.
