Performed June 23, 1978, at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, CA, during a break while filming concert sequences for “The Rose.”
FUN FACT: “Spanish Harlem” was Bette’s first theme song during her early performances at the Continental Baths before discovering “Friends.“
I remember this well. I was an extra in the audience that day.
Lucky you!
