@@user-xe5cz3dw8m I hear you, at least we are so lucky that it was all captured on film! And I was there for her closing night at Staples as well as January 1st an MGM. I was suppose to attend weeks earlier but she got Laryngitis; so I was bumped to the last night which turned out to be the night HBO filmed her special! And after the show ended, she had to re- film 5 songs for some reason, so she comes out after we thought it was over and said "I know u must be tired, but I have to re-film 5 songs so if any of you could stay" and before she could finish that sentence the crowd burst in to the loudest cheers - we just lost our collective minds!!. She goes off for about 20 minutes and Marvin Hamlisch, her conductor, comes out and entertains the crowd playing Happy Birthday on the piano the way each of the great composers would have played it - Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart etc. I got to hear her sing Somewhere twice! The sad thing is actually the first time she sang it in the real concert was better, she was a bit stronger at the end and held the last note longer.....but the one in the HBO film is the 2nd take. Anyway, it was a time and a night I'll always remember. I almost didn't get to go, only a miracle happened and I did finally get a ticket, but that is too long of a story. I paid 1,007.00 for that 1 seat, and it was worth every penny! BEST - enjoy the HBO special! have a beautiful life!
@@jamesk8s1 WOW! Thank you so much for taking the time to share that incredible experience. Barbara coming back on stage and beginning with, "I know you are tired but if you could stay" sounds exactly like her. She is so unassuming and kind. I am so glad you got your money's worth and them some for that evening. As Linda Richmond said, "You paid a beautiful dollar!" Have a lovely life, friend!
I was too! Do you remember all the stars that were there? Michael Jackson, Kathy lee and Frank Gifford, Daryl Hannah was with JFK jr and then Gregory Peck walked in!
@@rickipeltzman9795 hi, such good fortune we had! Glad u got 2 c it too!!! Yes, yes, I do remember the spot light on each one of them and them being announced as they arrived. It was like Royalty coming to see the Queen. Now, my biggest dream is to see Dimash live. If u don't know him, I would suggest starting with his song SOS from the 2017 I AM SINGER vocal competition which launched him into international super stardom - just an other worldly voice!
I'd forgotten how funny this is. Here are some translations (Yiddish is very funny, but hard to translate): Linda - look at that punim (look at that gorgeous face); Linda - I'm farklempt (choked up); Barbra - I've got schpilkis in my genecktigesoint (butterflies in my guts); Linda - that author is a miskeit/able boodled in the keppe (she is ugly and crazy in the head); Linda - it's a shanda for the neighbors (a disgrace); Linda - it stuck in my gedarim like last year's gedempt (stuck in my guts like a bad storm); Linda - das de ligene zibele (roughly means stick your head in the dirt like an onion); Barbra - geh schtugidaf (go stick it); Linda - geh cocken auf in yom (go shit in the ocean); Barbra - nebbich (poor thing); Linda - feh, poo poo poo (gross, don't give me the evil eye); Barbra - farmished (mixed up); Linda - farcocked (fucked up); Barbra - fartootsed (confused); Linda - farschtunken (smelly); Barbra - fartig (end of this discussion). Hope this helps!
@@mellow5123 my parents who both spoke Yiddish to each other when they didn't want me to know what they were talking about, both passed away 30 years ago. I never had an interest in learning Yiddish as a kid, and now I regret it. It was right there, in my own house! They'd go "schvog" (shut up) the KLEINAH is due." ( The child is here.)
When I lived in Skokie, IL, there was a restaurant called Barnum and Bagel and the women looked like Linda, big hair but ridiculously sequined jogging outfits on 80 year-olds who actually sat around tables discussing Barbra Streisand. Kinda like The Nanny. So funny.
Most New York Jews speak Yiddish. Mainly because we're primarily Ashkenazim. OMG, Linda Richmond was my FAVORITE Mike Meyers character and Coffee Talk was my FAVORITE skit on SNL.
All the parts where they appear to be looking at the audience or at each other, they’re reading their scripts. Especially before Michael goes onto the stage, and it appears they’re directing their dialogue at each other, but there’s clearly a prompter. Barbra had an ironic line, “I’m surprised you remembered all your lines” as PART of the script…
Guys heeelppp.. what is d reference on this?! 2:55 i know they seem to be sarcastic on something but not sure where 8s from..am smiling frm start to finish..😊
