Sara video
 

Wow! I just saw this for the first time on VH1 Classic Videos (a new station for me). It was on at 8:00 p.m. est. I've never seen it before. Actually, I've never seen any of their videos. It was filmed live somewhere. My question is, where was it filmed? Stevie really looked good with her hair up, BTW.

Lee :)

I have some beautiful framed pics with Stevie in that orangey red chiffon garment. I love that look.

That clip of 'Sara' comes from the Documentary/Live Concert video that was released in 1981.

For some reason St Louis comes to mind but I'm probably having memory overlapses with "Fleetwood Mac Live" the album.

Uggh-do you guys really like that hair? IMO it is the worst she has ever had- it looks like The Permed Blob That Ate Tokyo (and then landed on Stevie's head!).

I like the hair, the live song, the halo around her head...
She looks like a Gibson Girl.
Plus, everybody agrees she looks good in red (or whatever that color is).

Sorry...Stevie's worst hair that I've seen would be on the Tango in the Night DVD where it looks like a poodle jumped on her head and died.

Anyways...I absolutely love the 'Sara' video. Especially at the end. Lindsey plays a solo that I'm pretty sure isn't in the studio version and it just has the "it" factor.

Don't get me wrong-I'm not saying I don't love the video-and she sang really well, but I am saying The Permed Blob ties for first place with the White Poodle Pelt wove into the back of her hair in TITN video. Did you notice how it just hung down her neck and back in one big clump? If she turned or moved her head all of the natural hair on the top half moved naturally or moved around (well thats probably not true either but it looked more natural in its bleached and frizzed out way) but The Poodle Pelt was it's own entity that did not move in tandem with anything else. That's my problem with The Permed Blob, too. It is so big and overwhelms her little head that to me that is all you can notice. Which is too bad because she has great clothes and sings good. If the hair were just toned down a little....

so i guess the both of you don't own a Little Lies 12" copy, right?

Ha! I was watching the extact same episode yesterday. :laugh:

Re: Sara video
 

That video is really my first concrete memory of them. I tell this story a gazillion times on here....anyway, it was on solid gold back in 1980. It was filmed at the now nonexistent Checkerdome in St.Louis, MO on 11-6-79. The show on 11-5 was filmed also. They combined the footage from both shows for the Documentary and Live Concert home video that came out in 1981. You really should pick it up if you get the chance.

Anyway, Stevie looks like a victorian, turn-of-the-century goddess in that video. That was a common hair style back then. Many women threw their hair up in buns like that....of course, the permed look was in too. You laugh, but the styles come back every so often.

Still kicking myself in the arse for not going...if you look closely on the marquee, you'll see that Jethro Tull was right after FM, at the Checkerdome. I went to that concert. :confused:

I love that Sara/Tusk hair, and that shawl. She did get a bad perm, but she sure made the most of it. I love wearing that hair-do myself in the summer. It's cool and comfy. And you don't need a bad perm to pull it off! (hee!)

About the color, I read some article once about the color red, and it said that men found the orangey-red color to be attractive and women find the cooler shades of red (reds with purple or blue undertones) more attractive. I have no idea if that is true though. Then again, it also said the scent of pumpkin was a turn-on for guys!


I am not so crazy about that Tango do, though. It's like, let it be straight, or let it be curly and puffy. But together - not a favorite of mine. Nope. But her hair in the Seven Wonders video was so pretty. I don't understand why she didn't keep it like that for the rest of that Tango era. Must have been an experimental time?

No, Lindsey has the poodlehead there, Stevie has the tumbleweed.

BTW, I think the BTM frizz hair was the worst for Stevie.

But you know, being about 15 when "Little Lies" was released as a single, I remember buying it at Woolworth's, and thinking that Stevie's hair on the cover was just about the coolest thing I'd ever seen.
I mean, remember this was 1987, and it was totally fashionable for a woman to have her hair all coifed on top, with straight extensions and color streaks. Stevie did it, Ann & Nancy Wilson did it, Cyndi Lauper did it (in her own inimitable way)... and heck, half the girls I knew tried to do it (they never did quite succeed)!

At the time, it was just really hip, really glamorous "rock star hair"... it's easy to laugh at it now, but at the time, it was ultra-stylish and cool. :nod:

(Now, where did I put my old parachute pants, and the shirt with all the buckles? Hmm.......)

OMG - I had those too :laugh: Although, I have to say I wore the parachute pants like one or two times - basically for work, and I hated them after that.

Oh yeah....you had to have the parachute pants....i had a grey pair and that was it....didn't really have any other trendy stuff....no Michael Jackson jacket.

When i saw the "i can't wait" video, now THAT was the coolest hair i had ever seen. It must have taken her hours to get that style....I've seen pics of the RAL tour in the beginning and she wore her it that way but it didn't last long....must have been a hassle....

Personally, i don't waste time laughing at the styles of yesterday because those styles were the fashion. It's ridiculous to take something from 20 years ago and make fun of it because, yes, nowadays it isn't in style. Sorry, i just remember when people laughed at the styles of the 70's (platforms, bell bottoms etc) in the 1980s....then you know what? it all came back in style.

Anyway, sorry to be sensitive. Not feeling so good today. Carry on.

:distress:

I love that hair! :D

Ebay pics!!

There are LOTS of Stevie photos on Ebay right now and many of them have *ahem* hair issues. :laugh:

Yikes! The only person who looked good then was John!

Sorry for all of you who lived through it...I didn't. I love the 70s fashion...but the 80s?...*shudder*

Even I had them. A grey pair and a black pair. Plus my 80s hair was so big I carried a comb or brush in the pocket. (And folks thought I was just happy to see them.;) )

Philly in the 80s...EVERY girl in my high school had that hairstyle.
To this day I still rather like it.

I can't remember whether I read it somewhere or saw it an interview, but that "bun" hairstyle was actually a wig that Stevie used for the Tusk tour. Of course, I could be wrong.

There's actually some rare backstage footage from the 'Tusk' tour floating around out there, where Stevie shows exactly how she pins her hair to achieve that look... and it's her real hair. :)

I don't think she started using extensions and falls (and, in some cases, full-on wigs) until the mid-80s.

I take that back... the footage I was thinking of was actually from the 'Rumours' tour, while the band was in Japan.

Still, I imagine the technique she demonstrated in that footage was similar to what she must have used to achieve the "Sara" look.
And given the texture of her hair in photos from the 'Tusk' tour, I think it's safe to say it is really hers. :)

Was that the one where she says something like its really simple, but if you have to think about how to do it, you can't? That may have been in a print interview.

wigs? when did she wear wigs? any pictures of her with wigs?

The saddest thing
 

This is the only video, with the exception of the bits and pieces of LL, by FM did I ever see on VH1.

Hey, I was (and still) elated about seeing it anyway! :D
