Going Through Tapes... Are they needed to post?

[mikebise]

I got a vinyl/cassette-to-digital converter for X-Mas! So, I only have a few cassettes left after my disastrous move in 2006. Are these tapes I need to convert and upload?

Brisbane, Australia 03/07/1980
"Sisters Of The Moon" is WILD!!!!!

Sydney, Australia 03/17/1980
This "Sara" is freaking AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
(Fleetwood Mac was sure in Australia for a long stretch in 1980!)

USF Sun Dome, Tampa, FL 11/07/1987
Just the last few songs.

Radio City Music Hall, NYC 06/17/1998
Wow!!! Great show!!!!

[mikebise]

Wow! Lindsey SCREAMS out "F-ing" something to the Sydney audience!!!!!

Ooh! Says it a few more times!!! :)

[mikebise]

Stevie shrieks out the "Cecilia" lyrics in "Sisters Of The Moon" at the Sydney concert, too!

[Phoenix]

Stevie shrieks out the "Cecilia" lyrics in "Sisters Of The Moon" at the Sydney concert, too!

Oo. That IS a good one. Haven't heard it in years.

[mikebise]

Oo. That IS a good one. Haven't heard it in years.

Well, Stevie did it at several 1980 concerts. I was just surprised that she did it on this one, too. I guess I WILL transfer it!!! :)

I would love to hear the Radio City 6/17/98!!

[mikebise]

It's a great show~ missing "I Need To Know" and "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You?".

But AMAZING "Twisted", "Rhiannon", "Whole Lotta Trouble", "Gold And Braid"...

I will make it a priority!!!!!!!!!

Ditto, please. :)

[Aussie W/Heart]

Hi Mike, that would be SO awesome to hear Brisbane 1980, Sisters Of The Moon. I regret not seeing them on that particular night:(:( Thanks in Advance:wavey:

[mikebise]

Well, cool!!! I had hundreds and hundreds of concerts on cassette~ makes you wonder how many are out there. All of these shows I got in 1998 from other people, so more people have these out there.

I will transfer and upload them soon. Tonight, though, I'm gonna party like it's 1998! :woohoo:

[gldstwmn]

Wow! Lindsey SCREAMS out "F-ing" something to the Sydney audience!!!!!

Ooh! Says it a few more times!!! :)

He is off his rocker for the whole time they are down there it seems. I still can't get over his weirdness in Melbourne.

[mikebise]

Chris, I wanna thank YOU for ALL the great stuff you've shared so graciously!!! THANK YOU!!!

There are TONS more shows on cassette from The Wild Heart and Enchanted, I know~ I used to have them! Like I said before, I had Stevie's 1998 live cover of "Black Velvet" on cassette that Maureen gave me.

I found two songs from a FLAWLESS audience recording of Sydney 1986, but it says 09/26/1986~ is the date correct? I KNOW I had the full show on cassette, because my favourite EVER "Rhiannon" was on it! I'll post those two~ one is "I Can't Wait" where Stevie wails "Blame it on something at first~ BLAME IT ON MY WILD HEART!!! If you want to... to be continued..."

[mikebise]

I mean, I had all these "artsy craftsy" boxes (thank you, Stevie!) that I got in 1995, each held about 20 cassettes, and I had FULL boxes for 1990 AND 1991~ NOW there are, what? THREE shows from each tour maybe?

And The Wild Heart, Tusk, Enchanted, Tango, The Other Side Of The Mirror... SO MANY!!!! I think Rock A Little and Street Angel have survived pretty well intact, but I DID have DALLAS 1994 on cassette back then...

[gldstwmn]

I can't wait to listen to this stuff. Black Velvet is one of my holy grail items! Can you at least describe it for me? Sniff. :o
I don't see a show on the 26th for the RAL tour in Sydney but there are ones for the 24th and 25th. I have always loved mama's wild ad libs from the RAL tour.
Also here's disc 2 from Sydney March 15, 1980:
http://www.mediafire.com/?y0w1k90qj9azub1

I'll go ahead and upload disc one in a little bit. :wavey:

[mikebise]

Happy New Year, Chris! :woohoo:

"Black Velvet" - Maureen threw it at the end of another cassette. Audience recording, not great sound... I remember Stevie doing some great WAILS towards the end. I didn't listen a lot since it was on cassette, and I was already a "CD-snob" in 1998.

I have Maureen's cassette of Stevie's Early Demos ~ NOT Fritz! Javier Pacheco said Fritz NEVER recorded or performed a single song that Stevie wrote. These sound really great ("I Need You" and the rest), but I will compare after I transfer them. They may be the same quality as we already have.

[mikebise]

BTW, wasn't "Black Velvet" performed at a "One Hit Wonders Of The 1990s" concert? Alannah Miles fans don't have a recording of it somewhere?

Weird that Stevie was even there...

[mikebise]

OH! I do have "Rhiannon" from "09/26/1986" or whenever it's from!!!! The sound is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! BEST 1986 Audience sound!!!!!!! Stevie's voice is so loud and CLEAR!!!

"She says, 'Take it away'!"

I only have "Rhiannon" and "I Can't Wait" from this concert, but they are spectacular! In performance and SOUND!!!!! Damn!!! I wish I had the other songs! The sound is unbelievable for an audience boot!

"She says, 'Take it away'!!!!"

[mikebise]

Mystery solved! I think...

These 1986 songs are really from the 09/30/1986 Melbourne show, which I have FULL in horrid quality.

Does anyone have the full concert in the SPECTACULAR quality that I have "I Can't Wait" and "Rhiannon"??? The full show I have is poor sound. But I USED to have all of it in AMAZING sound, like "I Can't Wait" and "Rhiannon". As good or better than Cloaks And Daggers.

[justdreamin]

Is the 1986 Melbourne you have a 2 cd, 2 zip files?
I have those on mediafire, but haven't listened to them as far as I can recall. I have 2 others from Melbourne, 9-29-86 and 10-4-86. They are even smaller files and I don't know what's on them. I'll be happy to post if you want them.

Thanks for all the music; the time you put into it and for sharing that and your knowledge!!

Happy Happy New Year to you!!


PS. Do you have this one? I just found it on a "boots" blog... let me know if you need it.

I had the Oklahoma City Tusk concert that I taped but my brother borrowed it and lost it. I was devastated for years. The concert was perfect. They had the songs down perfectly by then and I dont think there was a better "Angel" out there. I still have it down in my head LOL I was happy however that "Over and Over" from OKC was put onto the live album.

[markolas]

Javier Pacheco said Fritz NEVER recorded or performed a single song that Stevie wrote.

After reading the ridiculous interview he gave here (he basically, if not outright, called Stevie a racist), I don't know how much stock I'd put into anything Javier Pacheco says, to be quite honest.

[mikebise]

Javier said Stevie recorded her demos with her musician friends, not Fritz.

He's an ego-maniac who had to write ALL of the songs, aside from live covers. Why is it so hard to believe he would refuse to let the band even mess with Stevie's crappy writings?

They're not Fritz demos. Just Stevie & Friends. Stevie has never said they are "Fritz demos". Let go of the past.

[mikebise]

I had the Oklahoma City Tusk concert that I taped but my brother borrowed it and lost it. I was devastated for years. The concert was perfect.

I had that on cassette!!!!

But wasn't Stevie's vocal on "Over And Over" overdubbed on Fleetwood Mac Live? She's not on the audience recording.

[mikebise]

Okay, the two songs I have from 09/30/1986 Sydney are AMAZING!!!!!!! I got the poor sound quality show from this site, so does ANYONE have the GREAT sound version of that night???

I will post "I Can't Wait" and "Rhiannon" soon, but they are AS GOOD AS IF NOT BETTER THAN Cloaks And Daggers!!!!

Anyone have the full show in GREAT SOUND????

[mikebise]

OMFG!!!! "Rhiannon" is SO perfect it sounds ALMOST soundboard quality!!!!!!

"You heart knows no answer...
She says, 'Take it away'!"

[pryderi]

Yes, you are absolutely correct. I did not hear Stevie's voice on the "Over and Over" audience recording either. I wondered about that. WOW!

[mikebise]

The songs are great, but Fleetwood Mac Live is a sham. "Dreams" is from the video from 1976, "Rhiannon" from the Rumours Tours...

[WildHearted]

Happy New Year, Chris! :woohoo:

In regards to her performing, Javier also said that they let Stevie sing a few country tunes that she had written since her voice couldn't handle all the hard rock. :shrug: Who knows.

[Angel69]

Screw him! She probably couldn't handle all the crap he was churning out.

[mikebise]

Fritz did not record her demos.

But if that makes your world spin....

[mikebise]

Screw him! She probably couldn't handle all the crap he was churning out.

I love her vocals on "Take Advantage Of Me"!!!!

[Angel69]

I love her vocals on "Take Advantage Of Me"!!!!


She handled all of the songs superbly...thats why I think he's full of ****!

[Angel69]

Oh and by the way thank you Mike for sharing all the music!!!

[mikebise]

People think I'm an asshole, but I LOVE sharing Stevie's songs with the world.

[Angel69]

The songs are great, but Fleetwood Mac Live is a sham. "Dreams" is from the video from 1976, "Rhiannon" from the Rumours Tours...

True it is culled from different time periods.....but I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Landslide. Actually all the songs are pretty good...standouts for me are Rhiannon, GYOW, Fireflies, Farmers Daughter, DLMDA.

[jellyman10]

People think I'm an asshole, but I LOVE sharing Stevie's songs with the world.

People. :rolleyes::xoxo:

Read above.

There are those who HATE Stevie, although they waste time posting on message boards.

Who cares! **** em! I never understood how anyone could "hate" an artist. I mean like Im not a fan of say Celine Dion but I dont hate her.....Just keep sharing bcause it is very much appreciated!:D

[mikebise]

He's saying "most PEOPLE" hate me...

The LEdge is where I've found the BEST Stevie Community, but I know people hate me. They even started a thread last year.

I love STEVIE. Sorry!!!!

[Angel69]

Are you kidding me....a thread? All because you share music on a message board focused on the person in question Again **** em!!!!!!!

[jellyman10]

This doesn't have anything to do with me, does it? I know most people think I'm a 'he' even though I'm not (which is my fault, stupid username).

My 'people eye-roll kiss' post was trying to say 'Oh "people", they're the worst. Never mind, Mike, have a wee kiss from a fellow chiffonhead!'

I don't remember having any real cross words with anyone here. (The LB forum yes, ha ha, but pretty much patched up.)

Even though I don't know anyone here personally, I wouldn't hesitate to say that Mike is an exemplary Stevie fan and I appreciate his generosity and knowledge very much.

Confused & hopeful I've not caused offence somehow.

Loz

[mikebise]

My 'people eye-roll kiss' post was trying to say 'Oh "people", they're the worst. Never mind, Mike, have a wee kiss from a fellow chiffonhead!'

I don't get that.

Sounded like "Most PEOPLE hate Michael Bise".

[jellyman10]

OK, I'm glad I brought it up then. It was an emoticon failure, engineered by me. I don't know how else to explain what I was aiming for, but it would have been like in conversation if you said 'People think I'm an asshole' and I would roll my eyes and repeat 'Oh people! Never mind about people, I think you're great!'

Again, I'm really sorry. I try so hard to behave decently around here.

[mikebise]

No, LOTS of HATERS hate me here, especially the MODS. They HATE Stevie, wish she was a backing vocalist.

[WildHearted]

^Well, I think you're great, thank you for sharing all the music with us!

MODS HATE STEVIE....


I LOVE Her!! And her MUSIC!!!!!

I think the MODS wish Lindsey would father their babies,,,,

[Rod~A~Little]

I have just recently joined this wonderful site!
One of the reasons is because of Mike's sharing Stevie's music! Thank you and I LOVE it that you took the time to do this!
What a great community to share my love of Stevie Nicks with!!!
:angel:

[nailatixela]

MODS HATE STEVIE....

Umm I think this is all kinda silly. I don't have anything against you, Mike...or anyone else in this thread. Really don't.

But the last couple pages of this thread have been all "people hate me" and "no they don't, we love you and the music you share" and I'm just sitting here like...wha? I appreciate the fact that you enjoy and want to share music. I love what you've shared. But it looks like this thread has taken a different direction. And the silliness of it is shown above in that quote.

[pryderi]

Mike, What kind of converter did you get? I have years of cassettes that i would love to transfer.

[starshine]

I like you to Mike. No problems here with me. I don't post much here either well since in times past others didn't like how I posted my comments here (with the ....) which still doesn't make me happy. I think it was petty to make such comments. I didn't offend others I didn't come after other posters at how they posted there comments. Heck I didn't like it when others posted 'large' photos (banners in there posts). I could probably go on & on but I won't. I apperciate all that you've sent me & all the yrs during the days of the fanzine time too. Thanks so much!!!!:D

[fleetwoodtrick]

Sorry to awkwardly jump in here, but are there facebook sharing groups for demos?

[louielouie2000]

No, LOTS of HATERS hate me here, especially the MODS. They HATE Stevie, wish she was a backing vocalist.

For the record I, and the rest of the mods, all love Stevie. None of us feel she should be a backing singer... I'm not sure where you got that notion. While Stevie certainly defines Fleetwood Mac, she's not the end-all for every Fleetwood Mac fan. Some people prefer Christine, Peter Green, or Bob Welch over her. There's nothing treasonous about that. And there's nothing wrong with adoring Stevie, but not adoring her every action too. I personally don't have blind allegiance to anything. But that's just me, every one of us here have different tastes, likes, and perspectives. And I think that diversity is a pretty great thing. :)

[markolas]

I don't know or care whether or not Stevie's songs were performed or recorded by Fritz. They may very well not have been. All I'm saying is that Javier Pacheco is not a reliable source, IMO.

[markolas]

The mods hate Stevie? That's a rather silly statement. I enjoy Lindsey quite a bit. Does that make me some kind of traitor in the eyes of some Stevie fans?

[David]

And The Wild Heart ...
There are two things from that time I wish had surfaced, but they never did:

1. Audio from the 1984 Stark Club performance--a full set with the band from a Dallas nightclub. There is a Stevie Nicks fan--I don't remember his name but he later became a newscaster--who went to the concert.

2. Video of the September 1983 cancer & heart disease benefit at the Compton Terrace. Very brief bits of it appeared in an MTV interview of Stevie. It may have been local Arizona news that filmed the performance or it may have been MTV. For my money, Stevie was at her best for this leg of the tour (caught very nicely on camera by Life magazine).

[SuperFleetwood]

Mike Bise thank u so much for these, I think Mike is the coolest person.

[windbecame]

:xoxo::xoxo:Yes Mike, thank you for everything you post! i STILL love the edit of extended remix from 12" Rooms on Fire... where it goes on for a whole half a minute beyond the cd single... i still LOVE the fact that somebody besides myself caught on to that little glitch between the two!!!:woohoo:

[Macfanforever]

Hum.if the mods hate Stevie .This Stevie forum wont be present.Nah They like Stevie.Ok back to the topic.Thanks Mike for all the hard work on transfering the Stevie/FM goodies for us.Keep going through your archives.
