A huge thank you for posting this and the entirety of Letterman interview. This was 30 years ago. How did you get such stellar quality? Much appreciation!!

[@mormusicclips8959]

From my Sony Beta machine/tapes. That's how I recorded many of the video's originally.

[@bereldovlerner5557]

She puts the "X" into "extravagance"!

The Divine Miss M❤️

[@mrskenscott9643]

Katey Sagal who played Peg Bundy.. is one of the mermaids.

[@trenchant63]

I don't think so. This performance was from 1994 and Katey was a Harlette for a brief time from 1978 through the early 1980s....

[@mggentry]

FISHY!!! I love it ❤

[@matildadhumxoxo5801]

[@laurawesoff5732]

I never got the Mermaid outfits. Not the most practical.

[@dabigdikdangler]

It's called showmanship

[@nickbigd]

I don’t think being “practical” was ever the point of Bette’s live shows.

[@laurawesoff5732]

@@nickbigd Idiots with no wit/humor are underrepresented on KZbin? Just to be clear...I'm calling you and yours idiots.

[@rayyanez3527]
