The only online versions I know of are Solid Gold, SNL, Largo, US Festival with overdubs, and Red Rocks. I'm sure you've seen all of those.

So, do you want me to post some boots of it?

My favorite (or one of my favorites) is this one from October, Los Angeles:

A lot of people don't know or remember that in 1983 Liberty, the drummer, did not play the basic beat. That was a drum machine. So the song started with just the drum machine going & then Bobbye Hall started hitting the congas & that was the stage until the rest of the guys entered. But Liberty is playing along to a drum machine, punctuating it with more human, syncopated riffs similar to a hemiola (like trompe l'oeil, only for the ear -- laying a triple against a duple).

Solid Gold, SNL
with these 2 being the best, imo, performances of Stand Back during the entire 1980s.

lol. I know. tbh, the Solid Gold "dance" is forgivable because of how utterly hawt Stevie is...I never even pay attention to Bradster.

You know what Jason- I swear that hair fluff move was something that was just *done* in the '80s. I remember doing that frequently- :o I'm sure I didn't look nearly as fabulous as when Stevie did it (but I'm sure I thought I did).

I wish someone had 2-

Bristol Rhode Island 1983 - I had an awful version on CD which has since been destroyed- THE PERFORMANCE WAS BRILLIANT

and Oklahoma City OK- I have it on cassette tape- Stevie is coked out of her mind- the performance is great though.

The early "new wave" performances of Stand Back are fun to watch now. :woohoo:

She's slightly changed a good chunk of the lyrics since the studio recording. The one that I don't really understand is why "I would cry" turned into "I would." Even in the music video after the second chorus, she doesn't lip-sync the full line, just "I would." Does she mean it's all right to be standing in a line, she "would" do it?
