The show last night was FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like The Rolling Stones, Bette Midler maybe older, but she knows how to perform still.
Her humor was still just as sharp and wicked as ever. :)
There was no opening act, and she came out fashionably late. The show was due to start at 8pm and she finally came out on stage about 8:20pm.
I have to say, looking at the audience, I actually felt fairly young for a change. lol.......
Sadly, like I said before, they banned cameras, and they have way tried to keep people from using their smart phones too.

Just found this on youtube from the Pheonix concert...

At one level, I understand the wish to ban pics- selfies, I Phones, Tablets, flashguns and all that selfish behaviour all getting in the way of what people pay a lot of money to see.

The pros do it way better and all without flashguns!

See my latest where I have things to say about it- I NEVER take my camera into venues I have to admit.

I have only recently been taking my camera to some shows that allow it. I never use a flash though.

I'm sure in time, all mobile phones will be banned, although it's typically hard to enforce with a crowd. Takes away from the live theater point of the show, and interrupts peoples enjoyment of the show, with others texting, and sending out video.

Absolutely.

Why seek more instant gratification when you already have it?

The old word for such behaviour was rude!

Glad you had a great time. I wonder why stars keep their audiences waiting like that? To me it's rude, but hey ho! Glad you enjoyed it tho.

I know, rude. :o
It's like every time I go see a theatrical production. They NEVER start on time. If it says 8 pm, start at 8 pm. :o

Are you one of those people who holds up his phone so the person sitting behind you can't see? THAT is why I hate cell phones and cameras at concerts. Like [livejournal.com profile] cmcmck says, the pros do it better and their pics are almost all available on line. I'm sorry, it's RUDE. I never thought of you as rude.

But I am glad you had a good time. I think one of the reasons she's still so good is that she loves what she does.

I am definitely not one of those people. I hate when somebody in front of me is holding up their phone blocking my view or getting in my picture.
I try to get pictures from my eye view. Either sitting or standing when everybody is standing.

I think that is a big part of her, her love of her career. :)

I just wish she would act a bit more, I have enjoyed her in just about every film I have seen her in - she was easily the best thing in that awful Stepford Wives remake!

Hollywood does need to find her again. :)
