The Tango Tour
As disappointed as I was at the time that Lindsey left after the release of Tango in the Night and didn’t tour...the tour rocked and was amazing as I remember . It was the beginning of using the additional musicians that took some getting use to but what a great live performance. I listened to the live from Salt Lake City show from 11/87 today. Billy and Rick had a lot of energy and Christine and Stevie sounded amazing. That tour really kept that album selling and Lindsey sure did benefit.

By the time we got to the Dance, she was fading, (still sounded wonderful) but, Lindsey was running the show. For all intents and purposes during BTM, Christine really shined the most. |

Even the extensive interviews she did with MTV in 1987 were classic Stevie with no visible impairment at all. 2 years later she had the klonopin stare and seemed distant and uninterested. Like any drug she kept upping her dose over the years. |

I could not disagree more. In 1983 her voice was coked out and she would sway back and forth. She seemed grounded IMHO |

Yes...that’s how I remembered it. On the 1987 tour she was fine.....saw a slow decline on the OSOTM tour and BTM tour. When I met her after a Street Angel show she was out of it....but she sure sounded good that night. |

I cant imagine for the life of me what a Streel Angel tour would have been like if she had not cleaned up. 1994 was the first tour in 20 years that she was not on some substance while performing live. Her hair was fried, her waist bigger, but supposedly clean as a whistle. |

Her and Mark would do huge lines of coke together. In 1987 she gave several MTV interviews. The one where she says she did not want to be a hot dog for Halloween but always wanted to be a witch. Then the other long one where she is in the fur coat talking about the tour. Those interviews were normal. |

Did she fire any of those friends from her life? Addicts often do... Do you know who there were? |

Years later she softened the story claiming she asked Mike Campbell to take one of her klonopin doses and he was so wiped out that he urged her to get help. So not sure if the Mike Campbell story came before or after the fall. She also stated kicking tranqulizers was brutal as you can imagine being hooked for so many years. Her hair turned grey and her skin shed like a snake. All of this is my paraphrasing and article from 1998. After rehab she pissed off her producer and brought Waddy in to play guitar over songs and Sheia E's brother to do percussion while her producer was in England. She claims she did not have time to fix the record properly and it was already overdue because of her rehab. Edit: Here is the article. One part I forgot is after she gashed her head open on the fireplace....she never felt a thing! (now that's some serious drug) https://people.com/archive/high-priestess-vol-49-no-2/ |

"I believe this drug is killing me, can you take it and tell me what you think?" Who does that? Like no one knew what the hell was going on. It was the elephant in the living room for so many years yet she is asking a friend to try her dose. Very irresponsible. |
