Questions about the HBO special in 1981
 

2 questions for the masses here.

1. Is Waddy really saying HEY MOTHER****ER as he comes off stage in the unedited version?

2. I wonder what Stevie's doing in the dressing room when her goons tell the cameras to turn away....?:rolleyes: She dont lie she dont lie, she dont lie.....:laugh:

I love that little part. THAT's what I want more of.

She's letting four other women play around with her hair & face while 2,000 people out in the theater (including Yours Truly) await her return to the mic, so you can understand why the stage management want her to hurry.

I see. fair enough. Where were you sitting then? That was at the Wiltern theater right?

Yes. Where was that concert? I thought it was in New York. I know the Wiltern on Wilshire Blvd.

That show has my fav. rendition of Gold and Braid!!!!!!!!

Hopefully, you were high too :D

No it wasn't the Wiltern. It was the Fox Wilshire Theatre on Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills.

It was an old Art Deco movie palace. It was renovated in 1981 & Stevie Nicks was the first act to play the renovated theater. Both the theater & Stevie are class acts! :blob2: :] :thumbsup:

Thanks for that. I have never been inside. Here is an old exterior photo I found.

I thought it was taped at someplace called the Cow Palace.

And yes DavinMN, I hear somebody say "Mutha****a" real loud but never knew who it was.

The Cow Palace is/was in San Francisco. I'm not sure it exists anymore

It does. American Idol auditions were held there.

I think this is one of Stevie's absolute best performances. Every song is just amazing. I especially love Dreams and Gold and Braid, with those high kicks!

You can thank the cocaine, and the lack of booze for the high kicks!

I guess being in Los Angeles they got the best coke possible. When your out on the road, running out of good shiit, the good coke runs out.

Yeah yeah I always credit anything good or bad Stevie did before 86 to coke, blast me away:lol: !

"Get the cameras out" Shiit gee I wonder why lol!

Been lurking for a long time now, but thought I'd throw this in. The full concert from the HBO show is much better. It includes the unedited "Outside The Rain" (for the HBO show they removed a verse, which once you hear the enedited version, the edit is very noticable). There are also like five other songs from the show that were removed.

are you talking audio or video? I think most people have the full audio, but no one's ever seen the full video. if you're talking video...well, I'll just **** a gold brick.

oh, and welcome to the ledge. :D
