In the way back days of online buying of bootlegs, I had this show on VHS. I posted it here awhile ago. Its notable in that Stevie almost gets tackled during Stand Back and that its sort of a home coming for Rick Vito. He is from the Lehigh Valley region of PA (Allentown/Bethlehem).
The Gainsville FL show is on youtube and its almost equal in quality. That show is notable because it was the first concert when the BTM tour resumed in the States after Chris's dad passing. Its from October 1990 and they were making up all of the cancelled dates. The tour was changed to The Farewell Tour with no opening guests. Save Me was still in the set but when I saw them one month later it was dropped for Say You Love Me.
I am very fond of these shows. The band really rocked. I loved hearing the new music. The new guys had their footing in the band and they sounded better than 1987. Looking back I feel bad for Stevie for being so tranquilized but she had unusual energy and danced quite a bit on stage. Chris and Stevie wore the shortest skirts of their career during this tour. Chris had great legs even in 1990. I sat behind her and watched them all night. I think Tear It Up worked really well as an encore and loved the opening with In The Back Of My Mind. Rhiannon came back to the set on this tour and Stevie would sit on the stage floor in the middle of the song. During Everywhere Stevie would spin in this giant cape and did her I WANNA BE WITH YOU's. In Pittsburgh her spinning cape hit her microphone and it wobbled back and forth and almost fell over. The Albany show is also on youtube with the infamous Stand Back where Stevie's mic goes out and she gets lost in the timing and the band has to try and sync back together. Not sure what happened but its a fascinating clip. Landslide came back into the set on this tour. I know the Dance made it famous again but it was this tour when it came back. However when the Dance came out, this era of Fleetwood Mac was sort of forgotten.
