Barbra Streisand at the Barclays Center

Saturday night my daughter and I were treated to Barbra Streisand.  And what a treat!  The Barclays Center is amazing and Barbra.....well.......spectacular....to say the least!!!!  Barbra Streisand has been my idol since I was a teenager.  I have always wanted to see her in concert but never have.  So when my friend called me and said "you are going to see Barbra Streisand!!!" I could not believe it.
First we had the most delicious dinner at the 40/40 Club.  Jay Z,  you know how to rock  a restaurant.  (And thank you Bruce Ratner and Jay Z for bringing the Nets and this beautiful venue to Brooklyn!)   As we walked into the restaurant we were all served champagne. The 40/40 Club is absolutely beautiful with big screen televisions throughout.  Of course they were playing scenes from Barbra Streisand movies (what a treat!)
Stations are set up throughout the restaurant.  One table for beef sliders, one for turkey burger sliders, one for crab sliders (I had the crab and it was soooo good!)  Stations for fish, potatoes, the most amazing macaroni and cheese that you will ever taste, lamb chops, steak, salads, chicken satay.......the list of dishes goes on and on.  Too many to mention!  Dessert.....the biggest red velvet cake I have ever seen.  And the tiniest cheesecake with the most delicious raspberry sauce drizzled throughout.  Then I ate the most decadent chocolate (brownie/fudge) with caramel sauce and I don't know what.....yum!!!!
As if the dining experience wasn't enough.  Then we walk into the most amazing arena that I have ever seen.......and the concert that I have been waiting for since I was a teen......BARBRA!!!!!!!
I have to say that I felt like I was in a reality television show.  It was surreal!!!  xoxo
 (Thank you David!)

The concert!!!!

Concerts

I can't remember the year that I saw "The Who" perform "Tommy"  at the Garden but I thought that it had the most amazing laser light show.  It was absolutely wild and awesome with colors and lights beaming and unbelievable effects.  And I guess for back then it was pretty cool!
My nephew is a "Phish" aficionado.  They kind of have an Allman Brothers sound.  That is who they remind me of.  He goes to as many of their concerts as he can.  He saw them on New Year's Eve at MSG.  Today at work at the end of the day my nephew, who I work with, called me over to his computer.  He said "sit down auntie"  and I watched "Phish" perform at MSG on NYE.  Well if we thought that the concerts we went to were wild we didn't yet get to the future.
The below video is a little long so you might want to move it along a bit by dragging the ball.  I just wanted you to see how this concert led up to 12:00 on NYE.  Unbelievable!!!


This is "Phish"

What concerts did you think were amazing?  We really had the best music!
