STAGE TUBE: Barbra Streisand on NBC's THE TODAY SHOW

Barbra Streisand reflected on her singing career and talked to TODAY's Meredith Vieira about her battle with stage fright this morning, Tuesday, September 29th and you watch the segment right here on STAGE TUBE!

On Saturday night, September 26th, Barbra Streisand performed a free concert at the historic Village Vanguard to an audience of 100 of her luckiest fans from around the world, who'd been chosen from tens of thousands of entrants in a variety of contests launched on the artist's website, BarbraStreisand.com.

Streisand decided to return to the Village Vanguard to perform the songs from Love Is The Answer -- her new album of jazz standards and classics -- in the most intimate setting possible. With its astounding acoustics and deeply comfortable vibe, The Village Vanguard -- an epicenter of the New York jazz scene since an all-jazz policy was implemented in 1957 -- was, and is one of the most renowned musical venues in the world.

Streisand's new studio album, Love Is The Answer, is being released today, Tuesday, September 29. The first full-length collection of new studio recordings from eight-time Grammy award winner Barbra Streisand since 2005's Guilty Pleasures, Love Is The Answer was produced by Grammy-winning Canadian jazz artist Diana Krall and arranged by Grammy-winner Johnny Mandel. The album will be available in both a standard and a deluxe version. The deluxe edition is a two-disc package that features the Mandel arranged orchestra versions on disc one and quartet counterparts on disc two featuring Barbra accompanied only by quartet (piano, bass, guitar & drums).
