About this album

Live At Last shows Bette Midler turning a concert into a full-blooded comic and musical performance. Recorded in 1977, the album blends pop, jazz, music-hall humour and theatrical storytelling, reflecting the stagecraft that made Midler a singular live act. Across songs such as “Shiver Me Timbers”, “Delta Dawn” and “Long John Blues”, she moves easily between irony, sentiment and big-voiced showmanship, with material shaped by her backing band and audience rapport. Rather than simply documenting a tour stop, the record captures the self-aware confidence that defined Midler’s ascent in the late 1970s and strengthened her reputation as one of pop’s most entertaining performers.
