Timeless is a tour by entertainer Barbra Streisand. Following her hotly anticipated Millennium Concert 1999/2000 (which is cited as being part of this tour) Barbra decided to take this concert on the road for an 8-day tour of Australia, Los Angeles & New York. The tour grossed a record breaking $70 million and drew audiences of 200,000 for only 10 dates.
The tour was directed by Streisand and Kenny Ortega and was originally set to be solely a Millennium concert with 2 concerts seeing in the year 2000. The dates were released in April and all tickets sold out within a few hours of going on sale. Following the success of the millennium concert, Barbra decided to take the tour on the road and visited Australia for the first time and included Melbourne and Sydney before heading back to America for 4 other concerts in Los Angeles and New York. Although only 10 shows were performed, they were spread over 9 months.
