Stevie was so doped that she could barely sing, she didn't move, she looked like a zombie. She didn't even react when they let a fan on stage with a bouquet of roses.
In the video, she's not acting like she did in her prime, that's for sure. Her sleepy eyes sure confirms the klonopin, but she performs much better than my friend described. That's why I'd like to know what did you, those who were there, see in other shows from that tour.

I saw the Tango tour early when Rhiannon and Gypsy were still in the set. Stevie was fine. She always toned it down a bit with the Mac as to not act too obvious she is going for all of the attention. She was having fun and even threw a frisbee back at the fans. 2 years later in 1989 OSOTM tour her lights were completely out.
Maybe later in the tour she was upping her dose.
On another note. We also found trickery on the Mirage concert but not the extent of the Tango one. Lots of edits. They made YMLF into the single version with edits. When the full LA Mirage show came out, they played it like they always did.
David commented that even some of Chris's keyboards were not real or plugged in and there for appearance only. Lots of trickery in these recorded concerts. But at least Mirage was real even with edits. Tango was a mirage. Now THAT is a metaphor that wins the prize!
