Mirage, a black ribbon around her neck means Mirage unless her hair's more curly in that case it's Wild Heart.
But I agree, the pic is gorgeous.

Great '82 shot! Heading back to the mic after the turnaround in RHIANNON. Donning all white, like those other shots you've seen of the all-white GYOW jacket. Wonder which stop on the tour it was . . . ? :confused: :wavey: :shrug:

Detroit?
Minneapolis?
Florida outdoor festival?

:confused:

You would have to have read Carol Harris's book to understand the "girlfriend tape" reference. My memory isn't as good as it once was, and I read the book last summer. Maybe another Ledgie can correct me if I stray from the plot...

AT some point Carol Ann became good friends with Mick's future wife (Sara Recor - who was also Stevie's best friend.)

Anyhow, for the hell of it, they got out a cassette tape recorder and would record their conversations...about some stuff....girl talk stuff. I don't recall exactly what was said, but Lindsey was looking for a blank tape, so he grabbed one out of Carol's bag. He put the ear phones on, and then became enraged and took it out on her. She didn't know why. She listened to the tape and it was one of her "girlfriend" tapes...but I *think* she made a comment about John Courage being good looking or something -- therefore the conversation threw Lindsey into a rage....and I can't remember if he hit her or grabbed her by the hair...there were so many references which blended together.

In another thread, there were photos posted of the TUSK tour (?) in Japan...one shows Lindsey (back in the day) using a Sony Discman/Walkman because it was the *new* technology.

If anyone wants to come in and correct me ~ please feel free to do so. If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me.

These remind me of the video of Richard Dashut's going away party, when everyone gets whacked with cake & whipped cream...especially Dashut who has to find his *present* buried in the cake. Stevie throws the cake on herself instead of Richard.

Does anyone know who the girl in the striped halter is? She looks alot like someone I used to know back then (though I know it's not the same person).

I have it on VHS and I think, Stevie is wearing different clothes, so it may not be the same event. I will have to watch it again.

When I get it converted to DVD, I will let you know and get you a copy of it.

vivfox 04-13-2008 12:17 PM

I'm not sure about the other members of Fleetwood Mac but in April 1980 Stevie did not lay around for a month resting. Instead she hung out with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers in a recording studio. I present you now with some of those results:

Gypsy--4-3-80--take #6--Good Vocals

Outside The Rain--4-4-80--session #2--New lyrics in latter half of song to enjoy--

http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/d...n/13754961.jpg

Sanctuary--4-4-80--the signature Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers sound--nice vocals near the end when she sings Just How Far several times--

Starshine Silver--4-4-80--session #2--At the end Stevie is excited when she sees Debbie dancing--Stevie is whispering to someone at the end; in one of those hushed tones she says,"you're not daddy."--

Since I like pretending this thread is in real time just try to imagine if this really was April 13, 1980. Then these songs were recorded about two weeks ago! Imagine(I know you can).

dnightshade 04-14-2008 10:53 AM

I can totally get the feel for April 1980!!! If ony . . . Thanks, Viv!

Madelow 04-19-2008 02:17 PM

Dear vivfox & David--- I was thrilled beyond words to attend the Uni-Dome show on Dec.1,1979. I live in Cedar Falls' sister city, Waterloo. A fantastic show, even with Stevie's throat problems. Did she have surgery on it in 1980? I understand the fans' sensitivity regarding who performs "Songbird" (Sheryl?). Christine's first class performance at the Dome was the perfect closer to a magic night. Thanks for bringing back some great memories! Sincerely, Madelow.

Lindsey looked like he was mad at something/someone. He wanted to be anywhere but there.

Everyone just reversed their normal places on the stage, to see if they sounded better that way.

Ah I see. Did John and Lindey think they could play better left handed? :lol:

michelej1 05-05-2008 01:26 PM

Or they are pictures from a parallel universe, where they all stayed married and happy, raised healthy children, did no drugs and never abused alcohol.

It's a beautiful place -- but the music and concerts aren't quite as exciting as they were here.

DavidMn 05-09-2008 02:17 AM

Well this is the story I've been waiting to tell for awhile now. I can remember these 2 days, May 9&10 1980 like they were yesterday. First, a bit of a back story. I had first heard Fleetwood Mac in the summer of 1977 right around the 4th of July at the age of 6. Gold Dust woman came on the radio, and I made a very deep spiritual connection to this music immidieately. My mother bought Rumours for me for Christmas in 1977, and I wore it out listening to it in less than 6 months. Then when Tusk came out I was even more excited because it was 2 records instead of one. I remember listening to that just like Rumours and pretty much wearing it out in a short period of time. So anyway, April of 1980 rolls around, and I read a full page ad for the Met Center shows in the Minneapolis Tribune and I right away rudh to my mother shrieking about how my favorite band is coming to town. Mind you I'm a 9 year old boy at this time. My mother would not allow me to go to these concerts. She's no prude by any stretch, but knowing some of the stuff that went on at concerts back in those days, she wasnt going to let her young son be exposed to that. I begged and pleaded with her for 4 weeks to let me go but she wouldnt budge. So when Friday May 9, 1980 rolled around, I pretty much barricaded myself in my room, drew the shades, and did nothing for 2 days but listen to my Fleetwood Mac records in protest of my mothers refusal to let me go. Finally on Sunday morning, I rejoined the living and came out of my room. I wasnt even hungry to eat I was so upset. I still didnt speak to mom for 3 days after that because I was so upset. Years later, this is something my mother would point to when she would try to understand the intense passion I have for their music. I know now she meant well, but damn I still to this day wish I couldve gone! That's pretty much it. I feel very fortunate becasue I've made up for not having been able to go to those shows back then by being able to have the experiences I've had the last 11 years, so it all worked out in the end, I just had to wait 20 years. Good things come to those who wait, right?:)

So, even as a kid, when you first heard Tusk you immediately liked it? I remember getting it after hearing Sara on the radio and being disappointed in the album as a whole. It took me awhile to warm up to it. Michele

Yes, absolutely!:) Ina different way than Rumours. I dont know how I was able to do that at 9, but I guess I had an appreciation for the difference between it and Rumours.

That's how I felt when I got the album. I cut school the day it was released, just to go get that record and went immediately to a friends house to listen to it (his parents were at work). Not all of my friends were smitten with it the way I was. I loved it because there was so much music in so many different styles. And I loved Stevie's new hairstyle.

I also got to go to both Madison Square Garden shows in November 1979 and we had great seats because my friends father was "connected". We were in the 5th row for both nights. The only reason my parents let me go (I was 16) is because my friends older brother was going. Little do they know that we smoked so much weed that night:lol: All that weed and all these years later I can still see Stevie up there, working the crowd. Squatting, stomping, screaming, singing Landslide:thumbsup: Great memories!

It doesnt matter where we're from. Whether it be NYC like yourself or here in the midwest of Minneapolis, Fleetwood Mac's music has been there for us.:)
