Bette Midler On Her First Tour: “My first tour was soooo tiring but it was fascinating. Rochester, Toronto, Boston, L.A., and the SouthWest, … the people who came to see me were very far out, and when they all get together in one place they’re amazed that there are so many of them. My audience is fairly educated and they’ll try anything once. (Evening Star, March 11, 1976)
