Bette Midler - Divine Miss Millenium Concert (Seattle 1999)

[@tonyspinnelli730]

I was lucky enough to see Bette Midler in concert 6 times. It wasn't a concert though, every show was a performance of theatrical proportions!!!!! I met her 3 times and she was such a sweetheart!!!! I'm proud to have her as a idol!!!!!

[@Warriorwoman75]

I can't believe I found this!!! I was at this concert!! My one and only Bette concert. I went alone, but made friends at the show! Fun times😎

[@ScottJasonMiller]

There will never be another Bette Midler. I`m glad her work was present during my lifetime. I didn`t get to see this show. The work that went into it is further proof of Miss Midler`s commitment to her craft. Very appreciative we have KZbin to show us these gems.

[@susannunes6196]

Not only is she a great singer, who knows how to sell a song, she's a fantastic comedian, actress and dancer......it was a GREAT SHOW and I'm grateful I had the opportunity to see it.

[@lenantinori6048]

Always brilliant, a national treasure, it's time for Bette to be recognized by the Kennedy Center!!

[@phreaq79]

The Kennedy Center honored Bette Midler in 2021.

[@bripan321]

Wish I could have been there, or at any other show! I saw her on tv in my student time, together with the students of the house, in our big kitchen. We were blown away. We needed tissues for the laughter and the weeping. It was beautiful. She is beautiful.

[@mattdeans9873]

I was looking for this too but didnt know what to call it. I saw this show in Denver. Starting with that magical globe, I was blown away from her chops and energy and fortitude. a triple WOW

[@boblowney]

the right ingredients. smart, talented, and creative. Oh, and a great human being.

[@markw3661]

This is more than we deserve ! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You ! There is just NO ONE BETTER at the art of LIVE PERFORMANCE ! Bette, we need your Joy and Gifts now more than EVER !

[@The_No_Victim_Zone]

She is one of the best performers of all time.

[@barbraseville8984]

I saw this show in Phoenix. I forgot how odd her costumes were. And completely forgot that insane Spitting Image puppet scene. Crazy! Only Bette

[@sharonkennedy3720]

Fantastic show! She is brilliant, funny, extremely talented and wonderful! So glad to have the opportunity to watch it! Thank you so much for sharing! Brought a lot of memories back for me.

[@HeartofAdelaide]

Omigod THANKYOU!!!! THIS is the BEST way to spend isolation, each day a new concert - YOU sir, are a DIVINE Legend! Thanks again!! xx

[@MrJoko2812]

You are very welcome!!!

[@jimmyjoejeeter2366]

I remember my drunk cousin called me back in 1972 and played her first album over the phone. I bought it on 8-track back in 1972

[@grimthanatos7350]

Thank you for posting this. I had the privilege of seeing a performance of this tour in Milwaukee... unfortunately I was 13 at the time and a good chunk of the jokes went over my head. I've been hoping for years for someone to post a video of the entire show as a walk down memory lane, and truly appreciate the jokes I missed as a young teenager.

[@EagleRockers]

I saw this show when Bette was in L.A. Fabulous, of course! The cute guy sitting next to me flew in from Amsterdam just to see this show. He had never seen Bette in person before and was overjoyed to experience the Divine!

[@shawna8227]

Thank you for this upload! This was the first Bette tour I ever saw, my mom took me when she came to Philly and I was 16. The minute she sang the first note, the tears started and they never stopped. Absolutely amazing and still 21 years later, I remember what that night felt like. Bette is a goddess

[@davidlacoursimien5450]

The greatest live artist ever!!! She is the most incredible artist I have ever seen live! Long live the Divine Miss M!!

[@allthings80]

Thank you so much for posting this - such wonderful memories of this show! She's truly a legend in every way.

[@nossavidanadaincrivel]

Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Watching a Bette show, at a time like ours, is like being taken away in a magic trip to forget our sorrows and worries for a while...stay safe wherever you are.

[@timjay77]

I've been waiting so long to see the complete version of this, and here it is!!! Definitely worth the wait! I'm sitting here in quarantine and now I get to watch THIS. You've given me a moment of light in a dark time. THANK YOU. You're the best! Please stay safe and healthy!

[@MrJoko2812]

I´m so happy to hear this! You are very welcome, sorry it took me so long to upload it. Please stay safe and healthy as well

[@kstephen7625]

I have seen the Divine One I think 4 times, Bette always brings a smile to my face. When I was in College her Do You Want to Dance album was the hit album, followed by many more. Bette also has a double album recorded in Seattle in the '80s. I highly recommend this recording as well. A friend of mine when and saw her in Seattle did not know who Bette was and told me he had seen the most unusual show. The start of the show came out in wheelchairs he enjoyed the show from start to finish.

[@markspeed314]

WOW! The voice is as DIVINE as it was 30 years ago... Bette was destined to play "The Rose" and it was that movie that lit the light in my heart for Bette Midler that still shine to this day..

[@jodyreeves4869]

So did I. She is the one and only lady who does it all

[@user-th5hx7kl1l]

[@johnscott6960]

You must be very beautiful, Julie! I adore Bette ❤️ One of my ultimate Gay icons! Along with Liza Minnelli and Judy Garland 🎼🌈

[@rodo11ful]

What a goddess!!! One of a kind... I love her so much...Thanks for uploading this masterpiece of a performance!

[@alexhawkins9658]

Finally, thanks a lot for that! I’ve been looking for the audio and here’s the video! Thank u!

[@theresagreen9855]

I always like Bette Midler I first saw her on PBS in a mermaid costume the show was something I never saw before I just love her face. I still like her.

[@ihikealone]

Thx so much for posting this!!! I saw her on this tour in Detroit. I was in 8th grade. I barely remember it I was so excited. I made a sign like it was freaking NSYNC. Mary was amazing; still wish she'd record it. Edit: I do remember trying to sneak backstage after and getting escorted out by security. I was such a weird kid. 😂

[@siennagreen7295]

I love your songs beautiful 😍 💕 ❤

[@jenniferdean1353]

Would have loved to be there and would have loved to have been able to hear this. The audio is so bad I can't understand a word.

[@bslomof-1901]

Thank you for this!

[@lindajustacrochetsister4659]

2022 little late, but timeless ✨️

[@martinlarson8017]

I was there the night just after the WTO riots in Seattle. She came up on the elevator with a sign reading "BAN THE WTO" and ask's the audience ,"What the fuck were you thinking Seattle?". Needless to say she received a standing ovation. She was dynamite that night.

[@leonjmaisonneuve]

Amazing performer that I simply adore!

[@libelle176]

Not clear the sound

[@marcokoisuru9129]

Sheer perfection! Thanks for the upload!

[@stanochocki8984]

OMG!!..LoL..LoL...This, in 'Seattle"? A Miss Devine's opening remark at 8:45 ''Look at all this Crap""..is so damn on-spot for Seattle 2020--21 years later...and the City has 'gone-to-Crap'....The Millennials have headed for the Hills and are-a-hiding......So, apropos...

[@pgcicca]

Excellent video but what's wrong with the audio? Terribile

[@timbohae]

OMG! I Love this woman! I wonder if she is, in reality, as contrasted as her stage personae - the vulgarian with the tender heart. But, I never want to meet my heroes. If I did, though, I’d have to ask one thing, and the song isn’t even in this show: What made you make Miss Otis a hero? I can’t laugh or cry enough for this show. It is my here and now. Bless you for posting it!

[@francesinez126]

I'm not sure it's Bette who made her a hero. As written by Cole porter, Miss Otis shoots her husband for infidelity. Taken literally, you could look down on that as vigilantism. But she is a symbol of women asserting their power, rather than being a doormat. Such is Miss Otis' conviction (no pun intended), that she is willing to pay the price for her deed, at the cost of her death by hanging.

[@timbohae]

@@francesinez126 I am rewatching this show and noticed your reply. COle Porter and others sing that song as a dirge, only Bette jazzed it up and danced it into a tribute to Miss Otis' form of justice.

[@francesinez126]

@@timbohae Agreed. [Teeny-tiny point of contention: I don't think Cole Porter did much singing, unless you wanna count college glee club :) ].

[@hermit7903]

This was a great show!

[@estherblodgett]

Her beautiful version of "Mary" comes in at 1:42:03

Since I saw you in 1972 in Hartford, and so many times since, in so many cities, concerts, and movies, you signed my book, your book, "A View From Abroad". Love you so much Bette!!!!

[@DavidVarkonyi]

Wow the song Lullaby In Blue is so beautifully done here, better than the album version... Wonderful concert, sad it was never released on dvd...

[@deanchaplain800]

A national icon!

[@hollyzhobbyz991]

[@magiclife2179]

Она неподражаема! Спасибо!

[@kstephen7625]

Oops, it was Bette album, Live at Last show in Cleveland double album.

[@buddhacook1087]

What happened to the SOUND in this???

[@francesinez126]

Bette's version of "My Way" should definitely be her epitaph! (Suck it, Sinatra)

[@onefatstratcat]

Such a talent!.. and what a rack!! :)

[@roberthooven8665]

Mighty Real ❤

[@liljakarennorquistjonsdott1157]

Ég mun aldrei vera eins nálægt henni eins og nú því miður! Mér finnst þessi kona sú fallegasta og besta söngkona allra tíma ég fékk að kinnast henni 8 ára með fallegu vynil plötunni hennar. Ég skrifa á mínu tungumáli því mig langaði til þess! Ég fékk að að vita að ég mun ekki lifa eins lengi og aðrir og það gerði mig reiða en ást mín til Bette mun lifa lengur en aðrir og börnin mín vita það og vita hversu heitt ég elska hana! Mín ást til hennar fer í gegnum krakkana mína! Bette ég elska þig alltaf!
