Still Of The Night Demo.....Im trying to make it available.

[Pagan_RussZsa]

Hi guyz,

I have a VERY early Piano Demo of "Still Of the Night" with Stevie on the vocals etc, it is very raw and very interesting to hear..

I am not sure of the copyright laws or legal tangle over any ones rights to post here? I notice DownOnRodeo posted an early Sorcerer demo in response to my Sorcerer thread...

If i can post, then HOW ON EARTH do I get it up here?

LOL:D

Any help?

You have to get it on a server...I think. Then link it to the board so everyone can access the file.

Just on a side note, wouldn't it be cool if someone had a site where you could actually download all demos and other bootleg recordings for Fleetwood Mac. I know that some sites allow you to download certain ones, but they're always low quality...

[DownOnRodeo]

You post a song for download by linking to where you have uploaded it to your webspace. Your ISP has probably given you about 30MB of free web space and you would use an FTP program (free from cnet.com etc) to transfer the files from your computer to the webspace.
If that's getting to complicated the easiest way would be to email it to me or anyone else with webspace.
Then the problem is email size. You can't use hotmail, for instance, to email a big mp3 file. But the email address that comes with your ISP usually has a larger limit.

BTW, is this demo 'All The Beautiful Worlds'? Is it an electronic keyboard and does it have backup singers? In that case, I think it has been posted recently at sararhiannon.com and so most people probably have it ~ on the other hand, probably a totally different song! I've never heard of 'Still of the Night', but I know that phrase features in "...Beautiful Worlds"

Well said Joe.

Maybe "How Still My Love"? :)

Stevie in concert had often (perplexingly) introduced "How Still My Love" as "In The Still Of The Night." Which is sort of confusing...because "In The Still Of The Night" was/is a classic song from the late 1950's.

[Jason T.]

I downloaded "Still Of the Night" a long time ago off a file sharing network (WinMX???), anyway, it is the demo for "How Still My Love."

[Pagan_RussZsa]

Yes....I too got mine off Winmx a few months back....however i have just noticed that the final 30secs is missing off my copy...

I am not sure if it is still available from there...I presume that it is How still my love.

Here are the lyrics..just if anyone can confirm..

"Your still the same old story,
What price glory?
Dont make it easy,
In the Still of the night x3

Doing all you can for me,
Say your not the man for me
And dont tease me
In the still of the night x3

Standing in the doorway.... etc etc lol

Ne1 know? I think it may be How still my love demo. THo i am not familiar with that finals song.:o

[Jason T.]

It is without any doubt the awesome demo for the even more awesome song "How Still My Love." :nod:

[jwd]

It's on Stevie's solo lp Bella Donna. Fabulous song. I do believe she once said it was "the delight"(or something along that line) of her night doing it on stage. I know she soes it on a copy of The Other Side Of The Mirror Tour/ San Jose, CA, 10-20-89 that I have. I'm sure she was doing it on the short Bella Donna Tour, but I can't remember if it was on Stevie's "In Concert" video. I'm guessing she did it on every tour up to Street Angel, maybe even then. Ack, I'm rambling here, I need a Stevie expert to help me out.....JS?!


Joe

[Pagan_RussZsa]

i cant believe i missed that totally!!!! of course its on the bella donna album! I only know it back to front!!! duh! lol :o :laugh: :nod:

Nevermind..i thought it was a familiar sound tho...the demo is pretty much the same as the final version to be honest. Just perfected some more! lol

It's not on the In Concert video.
The only live version I've heard was on the Mirror tour.

Well you could be right gldstwmn. I do know that she said "Angel" makes her feel like a dance hall girl and she loves doing it on stage. But I do remember Stevie having a particular fondness for "How Still My Love" and I thought she said it was her favorite song to do on stage when asked, in God only knows what interview I read. :laugh:


Joe

[sparky]

I can't remember if she did it on the SA tour, but I did see her do it here in LA right before the SA tour started. It's a great concert song.

[darklinensuit]

But wait, I thought Stand Back is her favorite onstage.
It seems to come from its own time and space.:laugh: :laugh:
Oh, and last I heard, Beautiful Child is very very special to her onstage.
And Sable on Blond is her serious statement on TWH, which was a tour she loved.
And Twisted she just loves.
Sara she loved as her favorite song, but then it turns out it was way edited and she hated the stage version anyway. Or she was mad at Don's interview. Or that old lawsuit. Anyway, she loved it once.
Rhiannon she never says she loves, but she says it could be a neighbor lady, and since she's a good person, I'm sure she knows to love thy neighbor, so I guess she loves Rhiannon, too.

I know this was a big help.:nod: :laugh: :wavey:

:laugh: Point well taken. I couldn't have said it better myself.

[stevierocks87]

No, "In the Still of the Night" isn't on the In Concert Video, but it is on the Source concert bootleg (the same show including songs edited out of the video), so I guess they filmed it, but its not on the video (same with "Leather and Lace" which was later released on the video comp.) I wonder why they insisted on editing the video down to 1 hour when they filmed more than that and could have released the whole thing?

:wavey: adam :wavey:

[skcin]

Adam,

I was just going to write the same thing! I recently got this boot & I love it (actually, it only plays in my car, I think it's a bad burn. Anyway...) I was surprised that a few songs were left off the video - but it's probably because it was a tv (HBO?) special so they edited it to an hour.
Bella Donna & Angel were also left off the video & they are awesome! The harmonies on Bella Donna are dead-on.

Oh, don't forget Angel from the Tusk doc - something like: "I love doing Angel on stage, I absolutely love it! It makes me feel like an old time dance hall girl" Paula

[Johnny Stew]

From what I gather, "How Still My Love" was her favorite song to sing... when it was in the setlist.
But with her more recent solo setlists, she cites "Stand Back" as her favorite. :)

She can have more than one favorite... "it's a woman's right, they say!" ;)

As for the title, I'm thinking that Stevie had named it "In The Still Of The Night," but perhaps was talked into re-naming it "How Still My Love," because of the Five Satins' song... which would be why she still refers to it by the former title.

Oh, and she's performed it on the 'White Winged Dove' ('Bella Donna'), 'Wild Heart,' and 'Other Side Of The Mirror' tours. :)

[jwd]

Thanks JS for the info, and as usual well put. :)

I've got to get my hands on that. ;)

Don't forget the RAL tour..the peformance from Bonner Springs 1986 is awesome :)

Just because it wasn't on the In Concert video doesn't mean that it wasn't performed at that concert. In fact, consulting my CDR/tape collection..Stevie included "How Still My Love" in all her shows/tours starting with Bella Donna up to The Other Side of the Mirror. As far as I know, it hasn't been included in subsequent tour sets.

Regarding the In The Still Of The Night/How Still My Love song title discussion...

If you listen to the early versions of the song, she sings "In the still of the night" but there is no "how still my love" line. I think at this stage the song was call In The Still Of The Night. As the song evolved in the studio, the "How still my love" line emerged, and the song title changed, but the previous title was seared into Stevie's memory. A reasonable theory. What do other Ledgies think?


"How Still My Love" is a much better title...the other is too cliched.

I know that.
Joe had posted that he couldn't remember if it was in the in Concert video.
I was responding.

[dissention]

Stevie would introduce How Still My Love as her favorite song up unitl The Wild Heart came out, then she'd cite Stand Back as her fave onstage. :)

Stevie did perform How Still My Love on the Street Angel tour, but dropped it after opening night in Boston. Unfortunately, it hasn't been heard from since...:(

[darklinensuit]

On the Stevieboard somebody brought up Sable on Blond, which I always thought would be great in concert following How Still My Love.

I always thought that Sara and Sable On Blonde should segue into each other like Dreams and Outside the Rain. That would be a dream!

[PenguinHead]

I always thought that Sable On Blonde would be a great song to segue from Outside The Rain. Dreams really does need a rest, and Sable on Blonde has the same timing and beat as Dreams. Will never happen though.
