I've only seen FM twice, in 2009. Clearly, they were amazing  My reviews are in this thread if you're interested.
And to maintain some semblance of on-topicness, I must say I've never seen the TITN concert. I think for the same reason as I've avoided Stevie's Live at Red Rocks -- I'm just not sure I want to see her in that state  I might check out some YouTube clips of Christine's songs though. And maybe one day when I can face the trauma of Stevie's darkest years, I'll complete my collection  |
I think she was still doing coke when Red Rocks was filmed. She does not appear to be completely "out of it" at the Tango in the Night concert. She is simply less energetic than normal...she was 25 years younger than she is now but her performance at this concert has the same amount of energy, maybe less, than she displays while performing now, on the Live 2013 tour. If my memory is correct there were no twirls. Not much slow dancing (a brief curtsy during Seven Wonders). Minimal hand gestures. Not much if any air guitar or play drumming. She just cruises through a fair few of the performances on autopilot almost.
Do not know what the psychiatrist was thinking when he prescribed Klonopin...for a start, giving someone a tranquilizer is not going to stop them doing cocaine. If she desperately wanted to continue doing coke she would have, regardless of whether she was on Klonopin or not. Surely the psych would have realised a drug that dampens one's spirits and drains away all of one's energy is not a good drug for someone who makes a living performing to take...The doctor's motives in prescribing the drug seem questionable.
That aside, I am glad I have the DVD for Seven Wonders, the rather weird, spacey version of Dreams and the odd rendition of Everywhere with extra Stevie vocals. Most of the highlights are Christine songs or Peter Green songs but Stevie's performances are still worth watching. Buy it - you will not regret it!
