New Haven, CT 1986
 
I recently discovered this tape in my collection and it is one of the best RAL shows. Stevie seemed to really be in fine voice and control. No incoherent babbling or anything.

There's no date on the cassette but i deduce that this must be early June or late May. I checked the Stevie/FM tour diaries page but it's not there.

Anyone?

Check out the Fleetwood Mac Legacy's concert pages, they're very thorough.

New Haven, CT was on July 29, 1986.

That is the correct date and I was there at that show. Despite the problems of that time, with what Stevie was going through, which at the time being 16, I never really saw that side of her and I felt she put on an awesome show. Her voice was in tune and she danced around, spun and even moonwalked out onto the stage!

wow....i'm surprised that it was as late as that. i don't understand all this negativity that she was so horrible on that tour. a lot of the tapes i have (including this one) are pretty damn good.

I agree. I think the RAL was good in alot of ways and there were some great great shows. There were, however, some bad ones and that probably was due to the drugs. But, the vast majority of the ones I have heard are good and many are great.

that's a great story...you know, there's a bootleg video that has part of the Nebraska show and the Iowa shot. I actually have the Iowa show. Not sure what the date is. I saw her on 5-30 in Wisconsion (Alpine Valley) and 6-21 in Chicago (the infamous Cloaks and Daggers show). I really can't listen to the Alpine Valley show that much. She was pretty f'd up. Chicago was better.

I almost had a heart attack when she started singing that.

I believe that it was either during Edge of Seventeen or towards the end of Rhiannon. It never fials to crack me up every time I hear it. :lol:

It was great that you were there, I'm sure it was better live!
