Shield your eyes...It's just so much '70s goodness

I can't believe it's been pretty much a year since I blogged here. Well, time to share something I found on YouTube last night.

I was looking around for various entertainers after I had just read about Bette Midler taking over for Celine Dion next year at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. Elton John also appears there on Celine's off nights and will continue when she's gone. Cher has long been rumored to also be headed there, so it's quite possible that all 3 of them will be alternating at the Palace.

This reminded me of years ago when I saw an episode of the Cher show with Bette Midler and Elton John as her guests. It was the first time that I'd seen Bette Midler and I was mesmerized by the costumes and the zaniness of it all.

I recall that it was my birthday. Just turned 11. I got one of those old cassette players with the big buttons that you had to press really hard. I was excited by the ability to record audio. This was before VCRs of course. 1975. I held the player up to the TV and recorded the Cher show with Bette Midler and Elton John.

I played it at recess for my friends at school. This had a very high cool factor.

Here's a clip that I found on YouTube last night...Enjoy!
