Bette Midler "Tenterfield Saddler" Peter Allen Tribute

Let Peace Begin With Me • "Let There Be Peace on...
pass this inspirational performance on, we need this now more than ever!!
Welcome! These musical clips are from a large video collection that is now being converted from VHS/Beta to digital. There is some viewing quality loss from the original video source due to the age of the tapes, but the performances are preserved and still a joy to view. I'm finding many lost performances from vintage R&B, Soul, Pop, Broadway, Cabaret and other performances. This channel will be the Ed Sullivan channel for the digital generation, something for everyone to enjoy. Many of the performances will be seen for the first time since they were originally televised. I will be adding many musical performances from a variety of sources that I hope you will enjoy. Please hit the like button if you can.

I had a smile on my face all through this clip. Bette is a joy, and Peter was a gift Are people talented like this, anymore?

[@ashleybellofsydney]

Peter Allen loved Bette so much. We would've loved this performance. He was there in spirit, I'm sure. He probably made her forget!

[@blacksorrento4719]

This is just perfection, despite her forgetting the words. only Bette could have pulled that off. She’s fabulous. She’s right! Peter would have loved it. Thanks for the upload. The one and only Bette Midler.

[@christinehaley8097]

Yes, she handled it. I would have loved to hear (when she was looking for the lyrics) to hear her talk about Peter, how they met, and knowing him, instead of her work Gypsy and the witch face. But that's Bette. She made it work.

Totally gorgeous, hearing an international star interpret this Aussie song so beautifully. Thanks Bette - you are a darling.

[@kimdavid2610]

Especially Bette love her

[@Angelicwings1]

Bette you did us Aussies proud

[@gozzagoss6182]

Thank you Bette this song is an Aussie classic with so much emotion. What a soul Peter was, how beautiful.

[@tjpersia]

i worked on this benefit - it was really funny-moments like this are really worth it ! so glad this was posted - A rare moment in time !

[@Livingallalone]

No words for how great this!

[@greyhairedphantom4038]

This song says a lot about Peter Allen as a boy, not easy, and very sad, it was the only time he ever gave us a look at his childhood as it was a period he wanted to forget. Rest in Peace...

[@lesliegreenhill2389]

You are right. Years ago a two part movie for television was made. Brilliantly they showed the impact of Peter's father's death on the young boy. Really changed his life. Love Tenterfield Sadler. A masterpiece for me.

[@lauramalek3128]

Peter.....would.....LOVE her.

[@alicehenderson7983]

Laura Malek, yes he would, she was great that night, her humor was very cute, her emotions were there too, she is such a beautiful singer, she really knows how to make people emotional

[@lauramalek3128]

@@alicehenderson7983 I am SO sure he would. I HARD CORE miss Peter Allen. Probably my first crush on a gay man. WELL SPENT. 😊😊😊😊😊

[@alicehenderson7983]

@@lauramalek3128 Bette did even a more emotional tribute in Australia, a friend of mine told me how emotional she was, would love to have her entire Kiss my Brass concert on dvd, including the 2005 Australia one.

[@davidcoombes-pearce4533]

Peter was one of the greatest talents. He makes all us Australians proud. Thankyou Bette.

[@lyndaparets7618]

I was at this tribute. His death had a profound affect on me...I had been a long time fan.

[@jjaus]

Clearly, not your grammar.

[@ricslagor9194]

Amazing. Man she really pulled it off when she forgot the lines, didn't even flinch an eye

[@fakerating]

The great Marc Shaiman is on piano...

[@bartokbel]

[@stephenmaslin3007]

Thank you Bette a great tribute to someone I'm sure was a friend. Peter is a Aussie legend 👏 and Bette is still a living superstar 😍🤩

[@Ullabulladulla]

I just adore her, she can transition between humor and seriousness with such ease. Just love her!

[@ambrenna]

She gives me goosebumps!

[@TheVineyarder]

nobody can manipulate your emotions like Bette-one minute you are laughing and the next shedding tears

[@bro031]

[@adamworling1828]

[@queenslander954]

[@anthonycbrown1952]

It takes a very brave and confident artist to navigate a moment like this in an entertainingly way yet still achieve a successful close. What a Talent!!!!!

[@Its_Shaun_the_Sheep]

The wonderful Bette Midler.

[@kimdavid2610]

[@alicehenderson7983]

Kim David, I don't know why people put thumbs down, I think they just don't know true talent & emotions, she was great.

[@adriang6259]

Nice. Thank you.

[@MegaAustralis]

[@kimdavid2610]

Only Bette crying xx

[@jackvicary2919]

Funny as

[@_MSD75_]

What is the last segment she sings? It's not from Tenterfield Saddler?

[@81chicagoguy]

It's another Peter Allen song - I could Marry The Rain (it was written by Allen and Marc Shaiman, who - I could be wrong - is accompanying Midler on the piano)

[@phillipdyson2689]

omg she is true blue xxxx

[@brasschick4214]

As much I’m sad that such a beautiful song was interrupted but what a save, what a professional… although she needed to learn how to pronounce Emu (Eem-You).

[@lesliegreenhill2389]

Beyond compare. The beautiful Bette.

[@JustinLGary]

Such a wonderful entertainer! I loved the Hocus Pocus reference!

[@johnreynolds5407]

You know Peter Allen would've adored that performance.

[@jamesfrench7299]

Why don't we see her as much anymore? Great memories of her in films. Talented and sexy.

[@karenbyrne7877]

To My internet and then again I hear you my friend Kimberly S. Lol Karen

[@annettewilliams1932]

I would love her on Johnny Carson.

[@kingcarter9975]

Wow!! What an entertainer!

[@amandamay269]

Lol 😂 luv her. Gypsy was such a good time period.

[@alicehenderson7983]

Amanda May, me too, she is the greatest entertainer, she can make you laugh & cry in the same show, that is rare, we love her for just being her.

[@stephenmaslin3007]
