| Video Discription | Barbra Streisand - A Happening At Central Park - The Full 1967 Television Special A Happening In Central Park is the first live album by Barbra Streisand. It was recorded at a live concert in Central Park in New York in June 1967 in front of an audience of 135,000 people. June 18, 1967 Barbra Streisand’s Free Sing-In Jams Sheep Meadow in the Park By JOHN S. WILSON An audience estimated at 135,000 sat, squatted, lay, leaned, stood and may even have grazed in the Sheep Meadow of Central Park last night to hear Barbra Streisand give a free concert. Parks Commissioner August Heckscher, whose department made the estimate, told the participants in the jam-in that they were the largest audience ever gathered for a concert or a performance in the park’s history. The police made no estimate. Mr. Heckscher’s figure almost doubled the estimated total of 75,000 who turned out for a free concert in the 90-acre Sheep Meadow by Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic on July 26, 1966. “I declare this park Miss Streisand’s,” Mr. Heckscher told the crowd. “Streisand Park!” they shouted back. And Streisand Park!” became a chant, carried on briefly as they waited for the star to make her appearance. She came on 40 minutes after the scheduled starting time, 9 P.M. Some hopeful listeners had been there since dawn. They brought blankets and picnic baskets. They danced to radios, played baseball, kicked soccer balls, flew kites. During the afternoon, Miss Streisand held a rehearsal, and the early arrivals sang along with her. When she finally made her entrance last night, she appeared from behind a large rock and walked down a Plexiglass ramp that had been set up by the Columbia Broadcasting System. C.B.S. taped the entire concert in color for use as a television program next season. The program was presented “as a gift to New York” by Rheingold Breweries, sponsors of the Central Park Music Festival in Wollman Rink, which begins Thursday with Louis Armstrong. Miss Streisand wore a flowing pink pleated chiffon gown that billowed in the gentle evening breeze. The setting behind her was provided by nature--green trees and a striking rock formation. The sky was clear and a brilliant half moon was fringed by just the suggestion of haze. She sang into a microphone at the end of a runway that jutted out toward the audience. However, the presence of television cameras and lights--four towers clustered in a semicircle around her ramp and one moving camera that loomed right in front of her--made it difficult for many people in the audience to see her. Her program of more than two dozen songs ran for almost two hours, including an intermission. The songs she chose were mostly familiar, so familiar that the audience recognized them from the opening words. “Anyplace I Hang My Hat,” “Cry Me a River,” “Harold Mengert,” “Where Am I Going?” “Second Hand Rose” and “People” were among the selections. She seemed completely relaxed--“free and easy” as she sang in her first song, “Anyplace I Hang My Hat.” She might have been working in an intimate room instead of a 90-acre meadow. The big songs were belted with full-voiced precision, but her control was even more notable in this vast space when she projected a soft and gentle song, “The Nearness of You.” She rested between some numbers by telling rambling tales and sipping a cup of tea. And when she lost her place in “Harold Mengert,” she got back on the track without getting flustered. At close quarters, she appeared to be completely at home in this unusual setting. Out on the far fringes of the crowd, however, it was difficult to perceive more than a small, brightly lit figure and to hear snatches of song, depending on one’s proximity to the loudspeakers. Miss Streisand took three days off from her filming of “Funny Girl” to sing the concert. She will return to Hollywood today. |
