Going, going gone.
Since I didn't have tickets for the Village Vanguard concert, I waited outside the backdoor entrance hoping for a quick glimpse of Barbra. And it was a quick glimpse for the small crowd that gathered that afternoon. Barbra's SUV drove up at 4:53 p.m. E.S.T. (yes, I checked the time).
She was whisked away against the screaming of the fans asking her to turn around. She briefly turned around and waved, then proceeded to the backdoor. The crowd let out a collective "ahhh" disappointed that she didn't turn around and wave longer. Sensing the crowd's disappointment, she turned around and waved again- for about a total amount of 5 seconds. We'll take that one more look at her- even if it is only 5 seconds.
These are the greatest shots, but it's all I got. The third photo would have been pretty good, if I hadn't shaked the camera! It happened so fast, then it was over.
By the time she left after the concert, the crowd had grown considerably. Barbra made a beeline to the SUV (what, no meet and greet with the fans?). Didn't catch a glimpse of her until she was in the car when the interior light was on. Once again, it happened so fast, then was over :(
(P.S., you have to enlarge the photos to really see Barbra)
