Late 80s Zoo Picture - More Photos Added
 

I hope this works. I wanted to share it and am not sure how to, but we'll give it a shot.

This is from a show at the Palamino in LA from 1987 0r 1988. Dig that hair and those sunglasses!



Sue

Thanks for sharing the picture!!! I never seen it before!!! LOVIN the shades :lol:

You're welcome Enchanted Stevi

Hopefully no one has seen these since I took them and had only shared back in the day with a few people. What a great fun night! I had never been right there at the same eye level as Stevie.

During that time period I got to see her another time with them at another club in LA. That time other guests were Roy Orbison (singing Pretty Woman with them), Gary Busey (doing the Buddy Holly thing), Dave Mason (forget what he sang) and Bob Segar (singing Old Time Rock & Roll). What an awesome night that was!!

Didn't have a camera that night unfortunately. Eddie Van Halen & Valerie and Ally Sheedy were among the celebs in the crowd.

Sue....longing to be 20 something again

UGGHHH Stevie is soooo cute!!!:xoxo:

Great photo! Found these 2 from the same show a while ago, there was some discussion at the time wether it was RAL era or Tango, now we know!

Ah, interesting. Those are my photos from the same night too. I used to trade stuff with people all over, but wasn't sure if they'd made it out to others. Funny that they have. Do you have photos or are those from somebody else scanning them in? I am curious now.

Definitely Tango time. Some time between April 1997 and October 1998. I can't remember if it was pre-Betty Ford or post, but around that time.

Sue

87 and 88, right?

Wow...Stevie was still pretty thin and smokin' here. I suppose the weight really didn't become too problematic until 89 or 90?

At any rate, it looks like she and Billy are having a blast together, which is really cool to see. She's usually so intense on stage. It's good to see her clowning and laughing.

Awesome photo -- thanks for sharing with us!!! :xoxo:

These were on Ebay a while ago, these pics came from the listings.
Could you post the big versions?

Love the Sunglasses!!
 

Thanks for sharing the picture, I adore the sunglasses, she's a little aviator!
Keep posting and have a great day!!:angel::blob2::blob2::blob2:

Zoo?
 

Sorry, I'm a newish serious fan, so I might ask a lot of questions! By Zoo, you mean Mick Fleetwood's Zoo, correct. LOL, I know that sounds really stuipd, I"m sorry!:sorry:
-Rhiya

Well now that's a bummer. Someone else selling my pictures on Ebay. Creeps.

I will post all of them today. Hopefully no one will try to sell them. Ugh.

Thanks for telling me.

Sue

As I read this I had to chuckle. I don't know why I didn't put the full name of the band in there --- if someone didn't know they might think I had pictures of Stevie visiting the Zoo with lions, tigers, and bears...Oh MY!

Yes, it was Mick Fleetwood's Zoo I was refering to. Funny, I have no pictures of Mick Fleetwood in there. Guess who was the big attraction? :)

Sue

The rest of the photos from that night
 

Hopefully, you will see this all. There are 7 here and the one I originally posted. Sorry the quality is not the best, but they were originally taken with one of those now extinct Kodak Disk Camera's which were crappy and these are enlargements from the originals.


















Hopefully this will thwart the selling on Ebay. If anyone does happen to see any of them being sold, please post here. I'd like to get to the bottom of it.

Have fun, Sue

LOL, that kind of caught my eye too. I was like "Stevie was at a zoo!? Sweet!) But eh, this is close enough! I would be taking pictures of Stevie if got that close too!
:wavey:Rhiya

Those shots are too cool. If I were ever that close to Stevie, I think I'd probably have a heart attack.:xoxo:

Awesome photos, thank you so much for posting!

I probably had some mini strokes myself!

Can't believe I could keep the camera from shaking long enough to take the shots. I don't believe that little camera had a zoom either. I was probably standing about 10 feet away at most and there was no stage. They just played on the dance floor. Once in a lifetime experience. Sigh.

Sue

Thanks for the pics - they are really cool! What did they play?

Oh, I wish I could remember, but I don't at all. I think it was a few songs and at least one was a Stevie song, but unfortunately I don't recall.

Sue

definetly post betty ford if its 87 or 88 which it looks like 87 or 88 to me.

ok I was at the Belly Up Tavern Zoo show in Solana Beach in SD county in June of 1987 and Stevie was there .These pics are exactly how she looked at that show including the sun glasses. I was getting pretty sloshed but I was a pro at drinking by 25 so I remember the show quite well or at least the first half .The band was introduced by Ally Sheedy only a slightly washed up actress at that time..Stevie came out after a few songs wearing the sunglasses and the first song that she did with them was World Turning her own songs that she performed were Rhiannon and Stand Back .She remained on the stage all night and as I got increasingly soused I recall that she did with the Zoo that song Well Alright off the Blind Faith album..I don't think it was an original song by that band though, and another song that had 'We're gonna break the rules tonight" in the lryrics..I can't remember any of the other song titles offhand but I do recall that she put on a great show and seemed really into it ..Even a notoriously anti-Nicks critic for the San Diego reader wrote that she"rocked with authority " high praise indeed considering the things he later wrote about her for the Tango show review at the Sports Arena and a scathing review of OSOTM..all in all a memorable night .I was so glad I was listening to KGB in SD that day and was tipped off that she was gonna be there by the DJ.

Great! Interesting that she looked exactly the same with sunglasses and all. Ally Sheedy was dating one of the guys in the band. Can't remember his name...Bob something?

Sue

Great Photos! But it looks like they were in someone's basement. How big was this place?

Wish she would do little club appearences like this once in awhile as it is a nicer way to see someone of her caliber. I know that admittance would be limited but it would just be so cool. :thumbsup:

Stevie showed up w/ the Zoo at the Palomino twice. I was living in LA at the time - heard about the first appearance - kicked myself for not going - but I made sure to show up the second time The Zoo played there.

I moved back to Austin in December of 1987, so these pics must be before 1988. If they're from her 2nd appearance, then I was there! :thumbsup: I was close to the wall, on the right side of the stage and didn't have a camera! :cool: I could dig through my old journals for the exact date.

Thanks so much for posting! :xoxo:

Those pics are amazing. I was going to say they look like they were playing a Knights of Columbus Hall or Elk's Lodge or something. The moldy ceiling tile is killing me. I can't even imagine being in a small club like that with Stevie just being ten feet away. I've seen most of her shows and have never gotten past nosebleed. Sigh

Oh, I was only there that once. I don't recall it being very big. It's a legendary place where a lot of people played - mostly country, I think.

Since I had seen Stevie with them at another club, I started the night right at the front hoping she would show up again. Lucky me. I wouldn't usually have a camera for the right moment :)

Sue

LOVE THESE PICTURES!!!! Looks like it was ana awesome show and time!! and DAMN Stevie's nails are so long!!!

That's so cool Livia. I was only living out there for about 6 months. I don't know if it was the 1st or the 2nd. That would have been neat if we were both there at the same show. I kept a journal here and there, but there was a LOT going on at the time and I was stoned most of it. lol.

Hey, maybe you can help me remember...before then, maybe in March of 1987, she showed up at another club with them. This place was regularly a dance club. In the Valley, I believe. I can't remember the name of the club and would love to know. That was the night when Bob Segar, Dave Mason, Gary Busey, and Roy Orbison also played with them. Do you know the name of that club?

Sue -- hoping you do

I was cracking up over the Elks club. Can you just IMAGINE! hahahaha.

Nosebleed? Really? No "Edge walk" shaking of the hands?

I found my 1987 DayPlanner when I went home for lunch today (I was really looking for my Elmer's glue and purple glitter): Anyway, June 12, 1987 is the night I was at the Zoo's Palomino show w/ Stevie. I'll post exactly what I wrote when I'm back home tonight. It's not much, but it still made me giggle.

ETA: 10 seconds after I posted this, Sara came on the radio. Worth noting for later...I have goosebumps now.

Aww, that was the day my little brother was born!

Awww! :D

Here's what I wrote, I used my DayPlanner more like a to-do list, not so much a journal:

Thursday, June 11, 1987: Heard "Rhiannon" at 10:08 PM, right when I was writing "Mick Fleetwood's Zoo at the Palomino" and thinking about Friday night - weird Stevie vibes!"

Friday, June 12, 1987: Even weirder - Stevie was at the show!

Saturday, June 13, 1987: Call Bruce re: last night. Tape Fleetwood Mac on MTV at 8 PM.

I like the "weird Stevie vibes!" lol. Too cute. I'd love to relive all that over again!

I'm racking my brain trying to think of dance clubs in the valley during that time. I didn't hang out in the valley much at all back then, nor did I frequent dance clubs. I was more into the Sunset Strip/Hollywood scene - The Roxy, Club Lingerie, the Lhasa Club, the Scream club, etc.

ETA: DUH! It's right in front of my face on my bulletin board!! A yellowed clipping from the LA Weekly, a pic of Stevie and some dude playing a shaker, standing behind her. Sounds like it may very well be the same show you asked me about. The caption under the photo says, "Bigger than life! Stevie Nicks drops into Sasch." Then it says: "You needed dark glasses to keep from being blinded by all the stars that were out at Sasch last Tuesday for Mick Fleetwood's Zoo. Joining band members Mick Fleetwood, Billy Burnette, Steve Ross and Kenny Gradney were some extra-special stellar guests, like that guy who's always prepared for star-gazing, Roy Orbison; a real substanatial Stevie Nicks; that other sun-glassed bro, Stax/Volt guitar hero Steve Cropper; Dave Mason; Jeff "Skunk" Baxter of the Doobie Brothers; and Gary Busey - all jamming out on tunes like "All Along the Watchtower," "Soul Man," "Well Alright" and "Rhiannon." The audience was no slouch in the fame department either: Guitarzan Eddie Van Halen with tube-u-lar Valerie Bertinnelli, Lee Rocker (Stray Cats), long tall Shelley Duvall, an unSly Sascha Stallone, Grizzly Dan Haggerty and Frazer Smith all crowded in to watch the guys and gal "Tear It Up."

I LOVE YOU!!! You are my new hero!! :) :) This is great!! Funny they missed Bob Segar though. Also Laraine Newman was in the audience from SNL and Ally Sheedy. I forgot about Dan Haggerty. "Tear it Up" Yes YES! I remember Stevie with them on this. Oh, thank you SOOOO much! This is the best memory jogger ever!! What a fun night that was. Wish I had my camera then.

Club Lingerie brought back memories too. Chuck E. Weiss and the GD Liars on Monday nights always was fun with special guests too.

You made my day!! Thanks so much again!!!

Happy Sue

Thanks for your memories, Livia. Stevie also guested with the Zoo at the Phoenix Pavilion that summer on Aug. 29, & on Sept. 11 she attended the MTV Video Music Awards. Then Fleetwood Mac was on the road by Sept. 30.

I think there was also some sort of Zoo show in Denver that year with Stevie Nicks as guest??

Thank you!!!
 

Wow, Thank you so much for these pics, never seen...
