490.0. "Bette Midler" by BUSY::KVILLANI () Mon Sep 13 1993 13:59

    Did anyone see Bette Midler at Great Woods this past Weekend?  I went
    on Thursday night and LOVED it.  She was absolutely superb. I have been
    to some concerts and was never so overwhelmed by the talent, humor,
    spunk, energy, the mix of old and new.  She really kept her audience
    on the edge of their seats. 
    
    I know when I was there she received a standing ovation for almost
    every single song she did. She added that extra entertainment with the
    jokes she was saying.  I tried like H&*( to get tickets for Sat. night
    but she sold right out, and I heard from some people I know, that
    people for their work went and a ton of them returned on Sat. (Those
    that watched her on Thu. and Fri.)  
    
    The tickets I bought were 52.00 but was worth ever penny of it. She
    definately does not cheat her audience.  No one opened for her. She
    was late getting on stage, sched. for 8pm, she got on at a little after
    8:15pm, then she played straight till 9:40pm took a twenty minute
    break, came back on at 10pm and played straight through till 11:00pm.
    EXCELLENT.
    
    Does anyone know how you obtain back stage passes?
    Thanks,
