Is the Pressure Getting to Babs?
(CBS) NEW YORK There she was, in the flesh. Barbra Streisand belting it out in front of a sold-out Madison Square Garden crowd. She belted out fan favorites to adoring fans in New York City Monday.
Some of her fans are devoted to a fault. Like Rudi Haertl, who flew here from Germany just to see Streisand. Minutes before show time, he was still searching for a ticket.
"I thought maybe when I'm in New York for one week, maybe I get a good ticket," said Haertl.
It certainly is a hot ticket. Especially for fans like Ann Gleavy from Boston, who thought Barbra had called it quits after her 2000 farewell tour.

Barbra's show was not without controversy, however.
Sources tell CBS 2, a skit that reportedly made fun of President George W. Bush caused one man to yell taunts at her. She reportedly responded, "Shut the _ _ _ _ up if you can't take a joke." She then offered to return his money, reports said.
If this is Barbra's final goodbye, she's had an unbelievable run. She first gained critical acclaim for her supporting role in the Broadway musical "I Can Get It For You Wholesale" in 1962.
