Random Stevie Question
 

Okay--has anyone ever seen a pic/show where Stevie actually holds a single mic in her hand?
I've been looking through my pictures and I've never seen it before.
Anyone know why she doesn't do it?
Have there been any shows where she has?

Is is just because she had to do the tambourine?

Yes, scattered throughout. There are lots of photos on the Web of her doing this from time to time during the Street Angel tour. Also, she did this at one show I saw on the 1986 tour because her boom busted during Rhiannon. I don't know why they didn't just drag out another boom for her, but the tech was out onstage trying to fix it or readjust it or something. She started singing "I Put a Spell on You" & pointing at the guy, who probably resigned shortly thereafter.
She just likes having the mic stand in front of her. It's a functional prop.

Yeah she did it for Edge of Seventeen on the Street Angel Tour. But only for a couple verses. Actually on my PIttsburgh 94 Vid she holds it for quite a long time.
