The album also captures Midler's rapport with - or loving heckling of - the Cleveland audience, a monologue about fried eggs and a part that since has become a staple of her live performances: the raunchy Sophie Tucker jokes. Live at Last features two new studio recordings. You're Moving Out Today, co-written by Midler and Carole Bayer Sager, was the only single release from the album (no. 42 Hot 100, #11 A/C). Live at Last reached number 49 on Billboard's album chart.
