Mick denied a spot on the Wild Heart tour

[vermicious knid]

I have been looking everywhere for this quote where Stevie says that Mick wanted to be the drummer for her on the Wild Heart tour, and she says she had to tell him he couldn't go. I can't find it, but oh well. I am curious to know why he couldn't be the drummer. The person who did drum was a member of Billy Joel's band, named Liberty Devitto. I don't belive he had worked with her before, and he never went on any tours with her afterwards either. I can't imagine Stevie had any attachment to this Liberty guy.

Well, I think that her friend Mary Torrey did end up marrying Liberty. So maybe it was good for her. Don't know if they are still married, however.:shrug:

I didn't know she told Mick he couldn't tour with her for The Wild Heart. I do know that she told him that for Enchanted.

ooh-how come? supposedly he was cleaned up by then, so why couldn't he tour with her? besides, of course, a desire to protect the fans of her solo work from the inevitable electronic drum solo :rolleyes:

Yep, they're still married and live in Orlando. I have a friend that is acquainted with them professionally.

She said that at the Woodstock show when she introduced Land Richards. Personally, I doubt Mick was ever interested in doing a full blown tour with Stevie Nicks as a solo act. Especially since he wouldn't get his 35 minutes to preen unnaturally during "World Turning" at a Stevie Nicks solo show.

Surely I did not just make this up. Do other people remember reading this?

Interesting stuff. I hadnt heard any of it.

It may have been too expensive.

Thanks for the update on Mary and Liberty--cool to hear they are still together!

Mick played conga drums with Stevie's band at the California shows on the 1986 tour. I remember that.

Gold Dust Woman with Bob Welch, too. ( Does this sound familiar? --->
"They NEVER let me play Gold Dust Woman that long, EVER!!! THANK you!" )
One of her best performances of it, i.m.o. (This used to be on nleone.com before - *sob* . . . . ) Anyway I believe that was also around 1986, or maybe a couple of years earlier. Definitely 80s, I think.

Actually, that was 1981, before Stevie's onstage solo career had started. But I don't know what the connection is ...?

vermicious knid & I were trying to figure out whether Mick had ever been asked -- or had ever requested -- to play drums for one of Stevie's solo tours. I was unaware he wanted to play the Wild Heart Tour, but all I could think of was that he was hanging out with Stevie's entourage on parts of the Rock a Little Tour, playing some congas onstage with Bobbye Hall.

The other thing (the Bob Welch thing) was a Bob Welch concert that Mick & Stevie & Chris & John were all guests at.

Help us out here, & try to find out whether there's an article around or a radio interview where Stevie or Mick addresses Mick's desire to play drums on the Wild Heart Tour.
