I like the backup singers' outfits on that video. Not quite sure whether they look wispy and fairy-ish, or like wanna-be's from Pat Benatar's video. :p

[QUOTE=darklinensuit]- Mirage SOTM - Not sure they could handle it


- Edge from Red Rocks - Never met anybody who liked the "Singin' it to YA" line




"Singing it to ya" - ya, I always cringe a bit when I hear that. I also am never crazy about when she adds, "I know what it sounds like when doves cry."

But I really like the Sisters if the Moon from Mirage. It's wild. Although it is a good one to pick in this category of things to not want to show your friends. It's a bit weird when she launches off into this sort of "let's pretend I can speak Italian" part at the end of the song. I always wonder if she was trying to say something specific, or she just wished she had something really great to say in that intense mood she was in! It was great emotion - would have been awesome if she did come up with some really cool thing to say/sing at that part instead of Italian mumbling. :lol:

I love Gypsy on the Mirage video. I like her outfit and her hair, and I am a sucker for Gypsy in general. Ya, she looks tired, and her voice was suffering a bit. But I still love it. Call me nuts. It's okay, I won't mind. ;)

There's a bootleg out there of a Stevie show from 1989 in Bristol, CT. Apparently, the security people were pushing people away from the stage and harrassing them or something, so Stevie told them to knock it off (the security). She told em "Don't **** with my people, or I'm going to get real f*cking angry!". Ah, good times... :laugh:

Ummmm, more like the microphone is halfway down his his throat! :laugh:

Paula

Because people on ebay are stupid. :nod:

Actually, the DVD version is not official, someone just copied it from VHS onto DVD. Hence the wrong photo on the cover.

Paula

Rags. They look like rags. I can't believe how ugly those dresses are. :shrug:

That can be said for most of Stevie's dresses too ;)

Geez... where to begin with this one...

I guess the most cringe-worthy moments are pretty much captured by the "Stand Back" video. In addition to the dancing guy:

-Stevie stomping on the conveyor belt;
-Stevie in a ballerina outfit twirling spastically and out-of-rhythm among the "street dancers"
-The "Civil War" version, period.

And some of my other favorites:

-The lame attempt at choreography with the quartet of Chris Nicks, Lori Perry, Stevie, and "that dancing guy" in the "Talk to Me" and "I Can't Wait" videos.

-Christine singing way off-key on "You Make Loving Fun" on the St. Louis 1979 boot.

-Lindsey screeching off-key on "Big Love" on the Buffalo 2003 boot.

-and the following eggs laid by Stevie: "Don't Treat Me Like a Stranger," "Night Gallery," Wazzamattababee, "Annabel Lee," "Mirror Mirror," "What Has Rock 'n' Roll Ever Done for You," "One More Tomorrow," "Old Fashioned," the bossa nova version of "If You Were My Love," "God's Garden," "Desert Angel," the 12-minute master reel version of "Love You Enough," "Love's a Hard Game to Play,"... this could take all day!

-All of "Time"

-"Lizard People"!!!

-"Stand on the Rock"

Hehe. Does anyone else think that Lindsey's "love groans" on the LIB version sound more like he's constipated???

NO WAY! I gotta hear that :laugh: Good times indeed...

Could anyone post that show??

I thought Stevie sounded constipated when she was trying to belt out Silver Springs. :lol:

Me, too, then i tooootally understood why they took it off the set list. Poor Stevie!

One of my friends told me that at the OSOTM concert that she went to, Stevie was all coked-out, slipped and did a total split right there on the stage, popped right up and went over to the microphone and said "Oh Wow Man, I just fell" and giggled. Not a great 1st impression if that was the 1st you'd ever seen her!

When I saw her TISL concert at Nissan, she seemed to be tired and had no energy. :cool:

I think Mirror Mirror is pretty good, and I know a non-fan who heard it and liked it more than I'd have expected.
Of course, she surprised me when she cracked up on hearing the "She's got a MOVIE STAR view" line in Greta.

I thought it was cool how they moved too.

embarassing FM stuff
 

though I love Stevie, I am embarassed about most things from the early 1990's... the Klonopin years photos, interviews and most songs.

This may not be popular, but I can't take Lindsey live when he just starts smacking his guitar either. I cringe! He's an awesome guitarist... so why do what any bloke with one arm could do? We can all smack a guitar!

Another cringe-worthy Lindsey-live moment is the screaming and wailing in Not That Funny (if that's a realistic LB orgasm impression, I feel sorry for Stevie, Kristen & the others....!)

No. These look like rags that one would used to dust. :lol:

I have nothing to add but....

ELISECIA LOVE!!@&()!*#)(@&#)@(&
<3333

Take THAT, Marissa. :P

Stevie was supposed to have been off coke for quite awhile at the time of OSOTM, wasn't she?
Amber

A couple of years, three at the most. But she had already started her Klonopin addiction by then. :(

Susie

Gotta agree with whoever mentioned Lindsey's pseudo-orgasmic howling during a live version of Not That Funny. It's the one part of the 1980 live album that I can't bear to listen to, and I'm infinitely glad that the song has now been removed from their set.

I'd also name certain parts of Tango as low points, namely, WTTR...S, Family Man (I like the music ok, but the lyrics or lack thereof are downright embarrassing) and of course, Whazzamattababee.

And I like Big Love as much as the next person, but I cringe when I hear the grunts, especially toward the end.

As far as recent stuff....Lindsey abusing his guitar doesn't do much for me, especially when he starts swinging it around like some headbanger. And Mick's "vesturbation" act is amusing for about the first minute or so, but it goes on waaaaaaaaaay too long.

Eileen

The one thing would be my receipts from tickets, hotels, merchandise, plane tickets, etc. They would $h!t a brick! And so would I if I sat down and added up how much I've spent and what I'm going to spend in the future.
I'm starting a new support group, FMA. My name is Brittany and I'm a FM addict. :wavey:
Brit

Now that's something to be proud of. I think my friends would appreciate the intensity.

I'd be afraid to show the "I Can't Wait Video" even though some of my friends would appreciate the 80's cheesiness of it.

I'd also be a bit apprehensive to show them the Mirage video due to Lindsey's ridiculous outfit, and his hair is a bit too long to be wearing it in that style, but I digress....

I agree with these too.

What is that? Dancing alone? So, ws i right all along all those years ago that the Dance was Lip synced? Are there any Mp3s of this?

Im surprised no one mentioned this one LOL: That short 1981 interview from Stevie's Behind the Music. It looked like some morning interview where Stevie had been up for days on a cocaine binge. She was so trashed. Her hair was permed to a nest. She went on and on about "Jimmy says U have to be strong now Stevie, if you must do this, you are no longer the little egg protected by Fleetwood Mac anymore". Give me a break lol :laugh: ! Its like Stevie was acting like she was the Virgin Mary or something and she was SOOO important to the world.

Who can forget those possibly Wild Heart Rockline interviews. Well it was some radio show. I have a cassette of it somewhere. Well not only is it obvious Stevie is COMPLETELY wasted, she even says something like "why is it 12oclock in the afternoon and im still up" LOL!

My best friend saw Stevie in Birmingham AL in 89. During Edge when she gets down to cackle in the mike she got down all right. She couldn't get back up. The 2 guitar players had to stop playing for a second and lift her back up. Ive talked to many people over the years that saw Stevie fall down and fall off the stage during the Rock A Little Tour LOL :laugh: .

Oh, to see the videotape.

Really? I kind of like that one, i think her hair looks better than average. Because if you look again, you'll see she has a PERFECT stephanie powers/Hart to Hart super-feather....one big swoop back.... :p but i did think she was, uh, exceptionally self serious about what she was saying.
Amber

Great thread :laugh: More......please! :blob2:

Okay, how about last year's Today Show performances? You had to be a diehard to sit through those (though the novelty of Stevie in coat & scarf might amuse some casual fans).

- Jake

:shocked: And just think, those lousy performances were being used to sell the new album. No wonder it hasn't gone platinum! :laugh:

And let's not forget the Leno performances. They were terrible to sit through.

So disappointing. And just a few years ago Stevie & Lindsey were so fun on Letterman. What a waste of opportunities.

- Jake

They should've gone on Letterman, IMO. Stevie is VERY talkative and friendly when she's on Letterman (they were married, after all ;) ) and that version of Big Love they did a few years back was chilling. And she REALLY let loose on Rhiannon, too.

I can't tolerate Leno, he's so unfunny and obnoxious.

Agreed again. Stevie looks at him like he's from another planet. Though she was hilarious with Sheryl next to her.

Didn't they cut to commercial when Stevie did Rhiannon? I remember being pissed.

- Jake

Yeah, but when they came back, she was just at the end of it and was howling and screaming; it was fantastic. I think I'll bust out that tape and watch it tonight.

Yeah, that's how I remember it, and why I was pissed. Oh to have been in the studio.

- Jake

Haha. I never even thought of that. :laugh:

- - Edge from Red Rocks - Never met anybody who liked the "Singin' it to YA" line

YOU ARE RIGHT, THAT DOES SOUND TERRIBLE JAKE.


- Mirage concert Gypsy - Stevie's a zombie

YES, SHE LOOKS ROUGH.


- Mick's solo!!! Need I explain? :shrug:

AGAIN, I GOT REALLY FED UP WITH MICK GRUNTING INTO HIS MIKE, PUFFING HIS CHEST OUT AND BANGING HIS DRUM PACK STRAPPED ON HIS CHEST, WHILE HE STRUTTED UP AND DOWN, JUST WENT ON TOO LONG AND BORED ME TO TEARS.

I just had to add to Jake's quotes, but here's what I wouldn't want people to see:

The Red Rocks Dancing 'Brad' is the first BIG no no.

Peacekeeper - Live in Boston DVD, Stevie and Lindsey don't sound as good as they usually are.


World Turning - Live in Boston DVD too many 'World Turnings' song sounds dull.


Red Rocks - Where the limo pulls up and Stevie gets out with big glasses on :eek: and looks like Sue Pollard from Hidey Hi (UK comedy about holiday camp/"morning campers") :lol: and then Mick gets out and towers above Stevie. Just makes me cringe. Can imagine Stevie saying "Morning Campers." (love you really Stevie). :nod: :nod: :nod:

Dancing Brad seems to be a hot topic lately. It's suddenly everybody's favorite thing to point out as bad. I don't mind the dance at all - to me the only thing that makes it comical is how he just suddenly runs on and then runs off shortly thereafter, like he's one of the little thingies in Ms. Pac- Man.
