Timeless[2] was a concert tour by entertainer Barbra Streisand. Following her hotly anticipated Millennium Concert 1999/2000 (which is cited as being part of this tour) Barbra decided to take this concert on the road for an 8-day tour of Australia, Los Angeles & New York.[3] The tour grossed a record-breaking $70 million and drew audiences of 200,000 for only 10 dates.

History[edit]

The tour was directed by Streisand and Kenny Ortega and was originally set to be solely a Millennium concert with 2 concerts seeing in the 21st century. The dates were released in April and all tickets sold out within a few hours of going on sale.[4] Following the success of the millennium concert, Barbra decided to take the tour on the road and visited Australia for the first time and included Melbourne and Sydney before heading back to America for 4 other concerts in Los Angeles and New York City. Although only 10 shows were performed, they were spread over 9 months.

Broadcasts and recordings[edit]

The week before the final concerts Columbia Records released a 2-disc CD of the millennium concert entitled Timeless: Live in Concert which entered the US Billboard charts at number 21 and was certified Platinum by the RIAA.[5] This CD includes a credit listing Sydney Philharmonia Choirs who recorded backing tracks in March 2000 (the weekend after their live performances with Barbra in Sydney) that were included in this 'live' album. February 2001 saw the release of Timeless the DVD which debuted at Number 1 on the Billboard Top Music Video Sales chart and has been certified Platinum by the RIAA.[6]
