The one-time performance was filmed for television; HBO released it as a TV special originally broadcast on 18 January 1997 and repeated on 2 February 1997. Midler won the 1997 Primetime Emmy Award for Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program for the special.

Technical aspects

The concert was filmed in full frame (1.33:1) and the sound was recorded in Dolby Surround. On the DVD of this concert film, there are English subtitles and an animated menu screen with scene selections, but there are no bonus materials.

The concert runs for 123 minutes (2 hours and 3 minutes) in total, including credits. The DVD was not rated with an MPAA rating, but some releases are rated with an "M" for mature audiences (undoubtedly due to strong language and sexual innuendos).

To date, the special has not been officially released to home video in the US. A PAL VHS was issued in Europe, followed by a region 2 DVD. Most recently, a PAL DVD for regions 2-6 was included in a 2009 UK reissue of The Best Bette.
