Live Concert at the Forum is the second live album by Barbra Streisand. The album was recorded at a live concert at The Forum in Los Angeles on April 15, 1972,[3] in front of an audience of 18,000 people. The concert was a fundraiser for Senator George McGovern's presidential campaign. Seat prices ranged from $5.50 to $100, and the event grossed $300,000,[3] but after the expenses of producing the show, McGovern's campaign was given only $18,000.[3] During the performance Streisand offered the audience the choice of hearing "Second Hand Rose" or "Stoney End". The latter was the overwhelming choice.

The album was arranged by Don Hannah, Don Costa, Peter Matz, Claus Ogerman and Gene Page. It was conducted by David Shire. The vocal director was Eddie Kendrix and the background vocals were provided by the Eddie Kendrix Singers.
