NEW YORK (AP) - Bette Midler isn't ready to kiss off just yet.

The four-time Grammy winner announced a second leg of her Kiss My Brass! tour Tuesday. The additional dates will kick off on Sept. 30 at the Verizon Arena in Manchester, N.H., and will include a four-night stint at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

The first leg of "Kiss My Brass!" was 2003's most successful North American tour, averaging almost $1 million per night at the box office.

The musical and theatrical mishmash, Midler's first in four years, features over-the-top sets, numerous costume changes and songs including "The Rose,""Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,""Wind Beneath My Wings" and selected songs from her most recent release, "Bette Midler Sings the Rosemary Clooney Songbook."

The second leg of the tour will make 31 stops in cities such as Atlantic City, N.J.; Atlanta; Miami; Detroit; and Chicago. It will end in Denver on Dec. 10.

I'm already set to go to two shows.

This tour is her best ever. She's very thin, very fit, and the show is incredibly extravagant. She's lowered onto the stage on a carousel horse, for cripes sake. I don't know how she does it. Stevie should take some pointers from The Divine on onstage energy!

What a drag - no LA date. I will have to venture behind the Orange Curtain to see her.

Damn, she's not coming anywhere near me. I saw her back in the early to mid 90's and just loved her. She's fabulous!
