there were also interviews how she was pi**ed at him because he was always winging it and wouldn't rehearse while she wanted them to rehearse those duets to death.  and how can you bang at him not knowing lyrics of someone else's song when that somone else doesn't know lyrics of her own songs and always has them on the prompter on stage. tbh, i actually loved their version of L&L - he sang it so gently, it just worked for me.
between the 2 of them i would never characterize Rod as the one with the overblown ego.  |
I saw this tour on one of their Canadian stops.
Despite the 50/50 billing, it really was Stevie as a 'guest', if not an opening act.
I blame her and her management for not setting up a better deal for her to begin with. She had this dinky little stage set that was removed right afterwards for Rod's big and glitzy one. And she put herself in a deferential position, saying in the press, how grateful she was to Rod for giving her a platform to promote her upcoming album.
After Rod's much longer set was over, people forget she was ever even there.
