Customer Reviews of Divine Madness!
The Divine Miss M at Her Best The Divine Miss M was Bette Midler's follow up the hugely successful The Rose. Its a concert film from mid 1980 that was part of her Divine Madness tour. The concert truly is a cinematic experience, telling you a story and lifting you up and down. The movie setlist includes Big Noise From Winetka, Paradise, The Rose, Fire Down Below, Stay With Me, My Way, Chapel of Love, Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, E Street Shuffle, You Can't Always Get What You Want, and ends with I Shall Be Released. Ofcourse peppered throught the movie is Bette's unmistakable talent and humour with many comic relief moments including her lounge act, Deloris Delogo The Toast of Chicago, a washed up mermaid in a wheel chair, and a few great R rated Sophie Tucker Jokes. The only flaw is the wacked out editing which took away the songs from the original theatrical release, Shiver Me Timbers, and Rainbow Sleeve. Also edited are Mother's Eyes, and Friends from the orignal tour setlist. If you like Bette Midler, then you'll surely experience the intensity and energy of this concert.
D-I-V-I-N-E Performance! A Must For a Bette Fan!
This is Bette Midler at her best. This DVD shows why she is one of music's greatest Diva's! Combining her classic mixture of Broadway, Rock, Pop, and Comedy, Bette will have you rolling in the aisles with her Sophie Tucker impersonation/jokes, Delores DeLago (the mermaid in a wheelchair) Lounge Act and stand-up comedy - keep in mind it isn't rated G! Her band is great, and her onstage presence is as vibrant, upbeat and show-stopping as ever! Totally a high energy show and a great prelude to the career that we know her for today! The audience is certainly pleased, especially with her numbers from "The Rose" which was just completed when this performance took place. Although Bette was battling the flu during this show, you would NEVER know it. THAT, my friend, is a true star. She is absolutely awesome and her voice is GREAT, although keep in mind that this was filmed in the early 80's before THX digital sound. The sound isn't bad, it's just not surround sound quality. This is a must have for ANY Bette fan! After you see this, you'll understand why she is so D-I-V-I-N-E!
Horribly produced dvd
Why edit a Bette Midler concert? Shiver Me Timbers is probably one of her best songs. And the sound and picture quality is awful. You'd think the DVD release of this concert would have been cleaned up a bit, with Rainbow Sleeve, Shiver Me Timbers and My Mother's Eyes replaced. Ms. Midler should option for the release of the complete unedited "Divine Madness!", her original 1977 HBO concert "The Fabulous Bette Midler Show", "Art or Bust","Diva Las Vegas", and any other concert that may have been recorded but never released. They could all be included in one wonderful Bette Midler concert DVD package. This DVD will be ok for the time being. But much, MUCH more is expected by her fans.
