Hello Bootleg Betty,

The diva--she was at her best, as usual. Put on a spectacular show. The woman has class and still as crazy as ever. I'm glad she still has that wacky sense of humor like in the old days. I saw her in the 70's and thought she was great then; well now she is even better. Her audience gave her a standing ovation more than once and we all enjoyed her very much. I couldn't believe how she could still belt out that song from The Rose. Those splits she did were amazing. I think she was even amazed because she did it more than once. Bette was great and I hope she comes back soon.

A loyal fan,

Barbara

P.S. Barry Manilow was there. When Bette pointed him out to the audience a woman went running up to him and Bette yelled out to her, "Get away from him!" I thought that was funny. I didn't notice any other celebs, but the house was packed with us common folks. It was fun.
