10 Completely Insane Demands That Entertainers Made For Gigs
5. Barbara Streisand
At just over 70 years of age Ms. Streisand is one of the world's most beloved Divas whose career has spanned decades. Her concert rider is fairly mundane, until it comes to the section covering security. At that point things get pretty nuts and we have to wonder what it is that makes her so security focused. Some suggest that her outspoken political involvement has sparked fears that an unbalanced person could try to harm her. Subsequently security at a Streisand concert rivals what one would find at a large international airport including bomb-sniffing K9 units and metal detectors at every entrance. Despite the stringent security before show time Streisand is adamant that no visible police or security force be in place during the show, and that there is to be no barrier at the front of the stage, meaning that while fans may get frisked on the way in they aren't put out once the show starts.
