For Fleetwood Mac -

The Tusk tour - I love everything from this era! And the setlists were great!

For solo -

Wild Heart Tour - Another one for great setlists! I love Stevie's voice here!

Sorry people, for digging the older discussion up, but I received the Red Rocks DVD recently and it just has to be commented upon.

I saw her in Costa Mesa, California on that tour (Peter Frampton opened the show) and I thought it was one of the best performances I'd ever seen by ANYBODY...at least, until Waddy's overly self-indulgent and way-too-long guitar intro for "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around".

Was that because of the same reasons that are visible on the Red Rocks performance (assuming that you remember what went on at that point)? Because on that one you witness the band just repeating the main riffs of “Stand Back” and “Edge Of Seventeen” for far too many bars because Stevie isn’t willing to step to the microphone and sing until a lot later.

I understand that from someone who actually attended a lot of those performances back in the day, but at least for me it is valuable. The production values are laughable, yes, but I have no problems with the ridicule and the drama going hand in hand. I do not know how much of the audio track was edited (other than just dropping certain songs) and I don’t appreciate the visual post-production (the close-ups, etc.) but the disturbance in Stevie’s voice and stage movements still comes to me through it all. There are great moments from that video vocally and visually. But of course it would be the best if the whole concert was released unedited and untampered with. As of now, though, I’m still happy that I own the whole thing.

The vast post-production work on Red Rocks has become the stuff of legends. :laugh: :nod: It isn't even the same as the actual performance. Try to get an uncut Red Rocks audio boot and you'll be shocked. Many of the songs were completely redone.

Oh, ok. But there are some bits in there that sound like Stevie is totally pissed-off, like the "it's not alright" and "you could be standing in it!" in "Stand Back", and this part in "Edge Of Seventeen" that's somewhat like the "speaking in tongues" bit in the Mirage video "Sisters Of The Moon". They seem to me like they're from the real performance.

About the uncut Red Rocks, you were going to post that on your site, weren't you? ;)

I was, but the server went bankrupt and the holidays overwhelmed me, plus I had finals...very hectic!

I've been to all the FM tours since Mirage. I'd have loved to see the Tusk tour! and the Rumours tour.
