Streisand's Final Concert To Be Webcast - For 5 Minutes.


America Online said Wednesday that it is planning to carry the last five minutes of Barbra Streisand's final Madison Square Garden concert live tonight beginning at about 10:15 p.m. ET (AOL Keyword: Barbra Streisand).

AOL said that the Streisand area will remain online for 30 days "allowing members to relive her last performance again and again." Additional content, including interviews, photos and tributes, is also expected to be posted.

However, as of this morning (Thursday), the Streisand AOL area was not online, and any effort to access it encountered the error message "Please Try Again Later." The Webcast, produced by Slingshot Networks, is being sponsored by Ford's Lincoln division.
