Which performance of SOTM is better - Tusk or Mirage??
 

Ok, people. Time to weigh in on which performance is better.

I have to go with Mirage. The end is just so fabulous with her ranting and she and Lindsey leaning on each other. I love it!

I'll go with Mirage, too. Not just the ranting in tongues & panty spin at the end, but also that super-witchy shot of Stevie in the blue lighting with the wild hair, tapping away. I'd love an avatar of that.
It's hard to believe there are only a few years between these performances. The Tusk one feels almost like a bootleg with that 70s lighting and zoom shots. I do love the crowd reactions in the Tusk one when she raises her hand for dramatic effect.

Dude, the audience....
 

The audience during SOTM in the Tusk doc...WOW...they went NUTSOS when the lights went up!! It was like this one, giant collective scream!! Gives me chills thinking about it...need to go watch the Tusk doc again. Heh.

Mirage is cool, but I HATE that they edited it, one minute she's all normal, then BAM.....wild, witchy hair and that EDIT. GRR!! :mad: Ya gotta love the Mirage "speaking in tongues" part.

Tusk version....when she mouths "would you be my...would you be my...would you be my...." while looking at someone in the audience and her facial expression....that is pretty cool!

They BOTH rock. :nod:

Re: Dude, the audience....
 

Yeah, I agree - the crowd does go nuts when the lights go up!

Come to think of it, the editing at the end is really bad in the Mirage version. One minutes she is banging away and then the scene completly changes. What the hell?

During Tusk when she is mouthing the words, she is nodding her head to the side over and over - it looks like she has some kind of tic!

Trackaghost, you rock, thanks!
But the image is too big so the forum won't let me use it.
Ideas? And keep in mind I'm pretty clueless.:nod:

Here tis...hope this works for ya...I shrunk it.

Don't ask me how to get it to move tho....someone will know maybe. LOL

The Mirage version which is so cool, it sounds like she's speaking in tongues at the end there.
Plus Lindsey singing one of the verses is also a highlight for me.

Stevie at her coked-up finest - LOL!!!:laugh:

TUSK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The chanting.....

The vulnerability.....

The hand streaked to the sky as she says...

"Of the moon- YEAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And the crowd goes wild!!!!!

And the finger pointing with-

"It's you, it's you, it's youuuuuu- yeahhh!!! He said, "It's you, it's you, it's you......"

Flips me out ev'ry time.......

HHMM, something about Tusk.

Tough question! If we're going only by the performances from the two videos, I have to say Mirage. But for the whole tour overall, I'd go with Tusk-- I love it when she would add the lines from Cecilia: "where have the white birds flown!/have they flown so very far/ no they're just asleep!". There's one from '80 where she does that and then yells "Golden! Emerald! Amber!" or something. One of the Aussie dates, maybe.

Thanks for going to the trouble, Christy, but as Trackaghost anticipated, I've got to have her with the movement. Anybody have any suggestions (other than I shouldn't be so fussy:cool: )?

I would like to know how to make these avatars in the first place - movement or no movement!

It's impossible to choose!

The Tusk one is special to me, though, because it was the first video clip I EVER saw of Stevie/FM! Can you IMAGINE the impact of that?!!

That's the part I like best. Plus where she's freaking out at the end, and it looks like Lindsey goes up to John and says, "Dude, she's losing it". LOL!

And I also like where he leans on her while she's crying. Interesting.
