Bette Midler concert chronology

This was Midler's first global tour in over a decade, and promoted her October 2014 album It is the Girls![1]

David Warner of Creative Loafing Tampa said of the Tampa show, "...the sass, the sashay, the big sound and the unabashed emotion were all in such top form that you couldn’t help but marvel: This woman's how old?[2]
