Anyone got any RAL show pics to share?
 

I'm looking for stage shots from the RAL tour. I know they're not high on everyone's list of favorite images of Stevie, but it is a significant Stevie era and needs to be documented. Maybe you might have a pic and you might think "oh no, this is too awful, I wouldn't post this pic of her looking that bad, that can't possibly be what Pete is looking for". Well, think again! It may have been wild, it may have been woolly, but some of us liked her that way.

And I'm one of those people!

Grrrrr, I hate that pictiger doesn't work on macs. I can't see any of these pics.

Sanne, I'm dyin' over here in my office. RAL-era Stevie in mirrored sunglasses? I almost fell off my chair.

thankyouthankyouthankyou. I'm not worthy.

Lol, I know! How 80's do you want her to be?!

God bless our Little Rocks ... & Git 'Er Done! :thumbsup:

Thanks so much everybody. Liked 'em an awful lot. I'm in awe of what RAL goodies people have had in their closets all this time and were afraid to post. That's what I was put on this Earth for: to keep the flame of RAL kindled and close to people's hearts. It's a lonely journey, and sometimes there are only one set of platform footprints on the beach. And I've even asked Stevie why that was so. And she said to me "Welllllllllllll, baby, whoah baby! Well, that's when I carried youuuuuuuuuuu!!"

Works great on my Mac. Not sure what's up with your computer, but it is not mac specific.

These pics are really strange.

ho. ly. f*cknuts. :eek: :eek: :eek:

what a MESS. how anyone can look at these pics and see anything but a bloated, sad cokewhore i will never know.

THank you for saying that. these are awful.:distress: makes me sad. i didnt expect them to be THAT bad.

And some people like leather jacket Elvis, but others like white jump-suit Elvis. It's a preference.

You think she looks bloated and sad? You might need to view some OSOTM, BTM or Timespace footage. Bloated, bland, and looking just miserable and tired.

Sure, for her own sake I am glad she is still alive and able to still perform. Doesn't mean I don't miss the energy, fire and spontaneity of those nutty RAL shows though. Rock and Roll is Rock and Roll, and Vegas is Vegas. It's like comparing an apple to an orange.

Now I'm going to put a long string of smiley things here which is always good for softening up a post that someone might otherwise take umbrage to.
:]:]:]:]:]:]:]:]:]:]

Creature of the night, it's been almost a week....

I'm going to quote that line to anyone who asks after tonight how long its been since I slept. Because I'm pretty sure that this thread will be bringin' insomnia back.

Not her finest hour.

you seem to be forgetting that RAL and klonopin stevie are not the only options. there were 10 years of stevie performances pre-RAL where she was, for the most part, fiery, healthy looking, and in tune - far from a vegas act. rock and roll is not about shrieking vocals and being so out of it you can't even remember your own lyrics.

yeah, it is sad. i don't see any glamor here, just desperate addiction.

Well, gee. It started out good, and alot of people were getting into it. Now the pendulum has swung in the other direction and everyone is jumping on that bandwagon.

There's no denying what happened in '86 folks. Sweeping it under the carpet pleasantly doesn't make it go away. She did some coke, she drank some brandy, and so did Ozzy. And so did Billy Idol, and so did Crosby, Stills and Nash. So did the girls from Bananarama! Why should we edit the years of her life away? She doesn't! I don't hear any major regret in her voice about the 'cocaine and brandy' years. What I do hear, is how money she spent. And how large she lived. And what a party it all was. And how intense her love affairs were. You want to sweep things under the carpet? Sweet away 1987-1994. Those are years that Stevie would definately WANT us to sweep away. Yet, there are fans here who love the laconic, dull, dilated pupils, satin bathrobe with shoulder pads and weird hat era.

This is my thread. I started it, I got all the feedback I could have asked for and more, and am immensly pleased with it. Check back later for a new thread about some other Stevie topic from someone else. But this one served it's purpose and for that I'm glad. More smileys! Sparkle everyone!
:D:]:D:]:D:]:D:]:laugh::laugh:

who the hell said anything about sweeping them under the carpet? post all the pictures you want, i don't want to stop you. i got a good laugh out of them.

Thanks for sharing all the pics. Even after seeing them I still can't remember most of the 80's. I must have had a great time. :laugh:

HA. are we gonna see pictures of you pop up somewhere with raccoon eyes and a muffin top? :D

That would be a NO! We were obviously smart enough not to document it :p I did save this though. Can you say $16.00 for seats?

What's odd is that at the time, I didn't know she looked bad- I thought she looked awesome, fabulous, beautiful- LOL.

OMG! Me too! Really, one has to look at these pics in their original context too. In 1986, make-up styles were different, hair styles were different, and even technology was different. Perhaps, back then, there were no 'ear monitors' or teleprompters. Maybe, without an ear monitor, one had to really scream their vocals out to hear them over the band. I know MY kohl mascara would be runny if I spent 2 hours yelling over Waddy's guitar licks.
Maybe in 1986, there were less 'stylists' in Stevie's entourage to constantly sponge on concealer and powder like now.

I don't know how old any of you are. But in my case, if I were to scan pages from my H.S yearbook (class of '88) you'd all have a good laugh at the hair, outfits and makeup.

More smiley's. Because who doesn't love smiley's?
:lol::woohoo::lol::woohoo::lol::woohoo::lol::woohoo::lol:

I'd like to hear anyone say, coked up or not, that they loved their look in the 80's LOL....Bad decade for fashion & make - up. :p......

She does look terrible in these pics, I don't care if it was 1986 it's not like everyone in 1986 looked terrible or strung out.

I'm 39 (class of 86) and believe me- I have some funny pics too from that time.

No really, we did. :laugh: J/K of course. But seriously, she didn't look THAT bad at the time. Maybe the RAL shows I saw weren't from the heinous era, or again- maybe I was just so enthralled with her, I didn't care.

It's subjective. I think she looks terrible in any stage shots from the 'Shake The Cage', OSOTM, BTM or Timespace tours.

From Webster's Online Dictionary:

Subjective


Definition: Subjective
Subjective
Adjective
1. Taking place within the mind and modified by individual bias; "a subjective judgment".

2. (philosophy) of a mental act; occurring entirely within the mind.

More smiley's. Because who can argue back if a post is sweetened with smiley's with little clown hats on?
:woohoo::lol::lol::lol::woohoo::lol::lol::woohoo:

I do, too, & I'd add reunion, Enchanted, Millennium, Shangri-La, Say You Will, Two Voices, Three Voices, However Many Voices, Gold Dust, etc. She doesn't interest me at all, visually or musically, from the 1987 tour all the way to the present. I don't go for the Aunt Steph look or sound. I want the Empress of the Pagodas. The 1986 tour was hot. But my favorite solo tour was still the 1983 tour, musically & visually, although "Edge of Seventeen" was better on the 1986 tour. The 1983 tour has the strong edge for "Outside the Rain," Stand Back," "I Need to Know," "Beauty & the Beast," "How Still My Love" & "Rhiannon."

Cool photo of the San Diego ticket up there. Pete brings up a good point about having to put a little shriek into the vocal above the din of the band in 1986. In San Diego, especially, I remember she was virtually inaudible for the first several songs -- the band was so loud & the mix was so ... er, not in her favor. Even so, I admit Stevie was shrieking & growling on tour, but that's exactly the appeal for some of us.

Also cool photo of Stevie & Tom, above. That must be the Tempe 1985 show? It isn't from Mulholland Tomorrow & I doubt it's from the Sanctuary Now gig, & I don't think she appeared with Tom (other than with Dylan in February) on her tour at all. I think the only full-blown Heartbreakers she did at the time was the Tempe show (she didn't show for their gig at the Forum).
