Madeline Kahn 3-29-86 "I'm Tired" live concert version

Madeline Kahn as Lili Von Shtupp in a concert performance of "I'm Tired," broadcast on TV 3-29-86.
BetaGems are culled from an archive of over 1000 beta video tapes recorded from 1983 into the 1990s. Most feature live music performances broadcast on television in San Diego CA, though there are also rarely seen commercials, comedy clips, and other material that doesn't seem to be anywhere else on KZbin or online. Most of the tapes were recorded on a Sony SL-HFT7 Super Beta Theater Hi-Fi Stereo - the same model was refurbished and is being used for these digital transfers and uploads.
In rare occasions where a BetaGems clip does appear elsewhere, we're only uploading if our own beta master is better quality or contains material not seen previously. Much footage comes from public television and public access broadcasts that the taper, who worked for a local cable TV production company in the 1980s, monitored nightly for several years. Some of the programming is strictly regional, mostly from the San Diego area.

12 years later at the time and she still had it.

[@Lunacyk]

She had it until she left this Earth! Funny, vivacious and a damn good soul!

[@kathrynsolomonides8772]

The show was packed when she performed the audience I'm an uproar.

[@VILA1963]

Wasn't she amazing? Oh how I miss her!!!

[@cigarboxned2820]

Rest in peace lovely Lilli.

[@glennusher4160]

She was one of the best.. Her, Carol Burnett, Lucy Ball. So many women in the game back then..

[@prissilou]

Madeline was my all time favorite comedian, and her performance in Blazing Saddles was arguably one of the best comedic performances of all time. Mel knew it too, that's why he cast her in Young Frankenstein. She was a talent lost too soon. She was a beautiful young woman and talented years before her performance in Blazing Saddles. I'll always love and miss you Madeline.

Yep mine too

[@blovedbrownsfan77]

There was only one Madeline Kahn.

[@mmjhcb]

This is talent! Sorely missed.

[@jill3686]

Yes not like most today. Poor imitations. If they can't cuss and swear. . The whole time. I've noticed over time people have lost imagination.

[@SugarplumMsX]

Let’s face it…everything below the vaist…is KAPUT!!

[@kennethwayne6857]

Rest in Peace, dear lady.

[@PJChgo1]

I still miss her.

[@Suitsnstylesguy]

I love this song, one of the best parts of the movie! Also I’m 20 and I don’t understand how people find blazing saddles offensive

[@marksmith4892]

i'm actually glad they do 'cause it makes the movie that much funnier lmao

[@gehrardmansoif7590]

People who find blazing saddles offensive are not welcome at my place!!

[@CBiggs-vz9be]

They don’t understand it’s mocking the bigots.

[@putinscat1208]

The movie as a whole is not offensive, but parts of it are. There are entire movies that are just offensive..

[@waldolydecker8118]

They don't find blazing saddles offensive; they find your drab simple-mindedness offensive, lol

[@stephenfermoyle4578]

von SHTUPP FOREVER !! LOVE YOU

She's gorgeous, just my type, right up my street 😅❤🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@theogoldberg8919]

Better than her original .

[@ericyell898]

Very attractive woman she is (was), pretty damned hot also, I'd say in my opinion, sad, rip Madeline Kahn.

[@prissilou]

And I always thought that a Jewish woman playing the implied part of a Nazi darling (Marlene Dietrich) was one of Mel's greatest's double entendre.

[@nunolip]

Marlene Dietrich was a staunch anti-nazi, she refuse them already in 1936, and campaigned very actively against them!

[@desecration171]

Marlene didn't have much choice over who her fans were but she was anti-war and anti-nazism. Her family on the other hand ***whistle innocently*** What I haven't been able to confirm is if Madeline's character was named after the song "Lili Marleen" which was a popular song sung by Deitrich. It could just be coincidence but I doubt it. Brooks was fond of easter eggs.

[@Ravisante5000]

Love this, but was that Martin Short there as well?

[@OldLadyViejita]

Yup

[@Janster59]

Is Martin Short one of the soldiers?

Yes

[@nikkiking3588]

Am I the only once that noticed that one guy so offbeat lol

[@wookinooki9023]

the fake audience is so noisy that we don't hear all the jokes in the song.

[@hipflipped]

I was at that show. the audience (and their reactions) were not "fake".

[@wookinooki9023]

@@hipflipped the ones YOU heard were real. The ones we hear here are a mix of both. It's obvious.

[@anthonyclarke5579]

Magnificent...my wife had never seen the film (I'm 67 and she a year younger). I cannot remember the last time she giggled and laughed as much. Yes if was offensive, irreverent etc. But with Brooks at the helm what could you expect. Blazing Saddles still has legs and hasn't slowed one iota. It's tragic that the snowflakes of the WOKE = BEDWETTERS would condemn this classic. Pathetic generation of entitlement, I know what I would like to do with them. FYI I have many friends who play for the other team so as to speak and different ethnicities and they love BZ too...just look at the cast.🤣PS Maddie, thank you, we love and miss you.
