Second Live Album Outing - Film Soundtrack,
By
This review is from: Divine Madness (Audio CD)
This was Midlers second film and second live album, recorded, unfortunatley while she was ill. As a result the vocal quality is not great, even on the remastered version of this, however, you do get some of the interludes, though most have been edited out, or as the Divine would say "sanitised for your protection". Midler's first live album "Live Atlast" is far better, however, you do get the E Street Shuffle on this. Really only for the hardened fan.

The best tracks from the "Divine Madness" concert video,
By Lawrance M. Bernabo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Divine Madness (Audio CD)
Given how great of a live performer she is, it is rather amazing that none of Bette Midler's live albums really capture the Divine Miss M in all of her glory. Like the others, "Divine Madness" comes close and it certainly has its moments. Although Midler starts off with "Big Noise From Winnetka," reaffirms her position as the queen of Forties boogie-woogie, the album is dominated by some emotional ballads, including "My Mothers's Eyes," "Stay With Me," and "I Shall Be Released." Those would be the Divine part of the proceedings and the Madness would come from her dramatic enactment medley of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" and "Leader of the Pack." For those who missed Bob Seger's "The Fire Down Below" not being on the soundtrack album for "The Rose," Midler corrects that omission on this 1980 album, which made it to #34 on the Billboard chart. In the end what you will enjoy the most are the medleys, the best of which is the last where Midler starts off with the Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and suddenly breaks into Dylan's "I Shall Be Released." She even manages to work in a bit of Bruce Springsteen as well. Just remember that while this is the cream of the crop there is much more on the video tape of this "Divine Madness" concert.
