The program was called "Opus No. 3" and had Gilbert O'Sullivan, Bette Midler and Stevie Wonder as musical guests. Peter Ustinov appeared as Beethoven.

Here is some info from my site with some screenshots:

I recently bought that DVD from iOffer. Just do a search for "bacharach" and find the offer with two shows from 1973.

But be warned, there is no official release of this show, so this was taken from TV at that time. It is watchable but don't expect miracles. (I am referring to the version that I bought from iOffer, I hope there is a better quality version out there, I just haven't found it.)

Good luck!

I have already asked about this but here I go again:

I am hoping I can get some help in sorting something out. Can anyone give the exact dates to Burt's 1973 Opus # 3 special with Bette Midler, Gilbert O'Sullivan and Stevie Wonder? I have a date of February 28, 1973, but I am presuming that was the air date as Bette was touring the U. S during this period. Unless of course, she left a couple of days open for the tour to go to England for the taping. I am looking for the actual taping date.

I also wanted to know if there are any interviews or songs done by any of the performers on this show that didn't make the actual broadcast. If so, does any audio / video still exist?

A photo exists of Gilbert O'Sullivan, Bette Midler and Burt Bacharach sitting at the piano in the studio. I am presuming this was taken during the taping of the show and during Gilbert's segment. Do any other in studio shots exists besides this one?

Many thanks,

Tom
