[JarethDrakul]

It is a shame that the audio was taken off due to copyright infringement, but it's nice to be able to see classic Bette performing =)

[steelyeyedman]

That white dress she's wearing is a Bob Mackie from the first episode of the Cher show! Bette, Elton and Flip Wilson were Cher's first guests!

VINTAGE HBO GUIDES GROUP on FACEBOOK!

March of 1978, HBO was installed on the enormous 27 inch Zenith Color TV in what was lovingly called, the “rec” room, of my family home in Green Brook, NJ.

From that point one I became obsessed with two things. Cable TV and HBO Guides!

Vintage HBO Guides on Facebook already has about 15 complete guides and grows bigger every day...check it out!

...Bette Midler is on teh cover of one...

[StevesWifeCharlo]

Katie isn't IN this clip!! Ula, Sharon and Charlo.

[SoldMySoulToYou]

i know the song so i know what she's singing about so i don't bothers me that hard

[rodanvideo]

Segal?? -> Ula Hedwig was the tall Harlette in this clip.

Well - BARELY worth the watch, anyway!

[rodanvideo]

One might wonder why I wrote "Segal??" Well, it was a response to this removed comment: "worth a watch anyway. the body language and katie segal's face are great."

[queenybeth]

Ooohh. I want to heeeeaar Vicki Eydie.

[looking4akendoll]

ou can find this on her Live At Last Album..Hilarious.

[gladecia]

i watched it anyway!

just to do it!

what a drag I couldn't HEAR her

[yieldyieldyield]

It was fiesta, and the sun was so hot

I needed a shampoo, you know I needed a shot

I try to find someone who could help me down low

But it was fiesta, and the clinic was closed

...alternate lyrics?

[StevesWifeCharlo]

I wonder who had copyright infringement issues, over this particular dialogue? Hmmmm, makes me wonder. BTW, there wasn't an AFTRA contract for HBO video taping, or film to video transfer at the time of this show. We got burned and no royalties or residuals. Ask me, I was there.

[shannannanadingdong]

why would someone be so sill as to complain it was just making us smile... this is just another act of a miserable person

[rodanvideo]

HEY!! Two days ago I read a "new" comment from some guy. He wrote "what a shame that the sound had to be muted, because of copyright mumbo jumbo and royalties," or something like that. WELL, that comment has DISAPPEARED! Who the hell is deleting comments on MY page?

[paul51]

I ROLLED when I first saw this . . . Bette was so funny. And Bette's one-liners from this show are legend!! Go ahead and applaud the ole girl, she is dead but not forgotten, at least not by me, she will . . etc., etc., etc.,

[CraigSD]
