Yeah, "Monday" was their opener that month. Great stuff!

I have two very vivid memories of Stevie appearing just as the lights went up -- one from the TUSK tour, which I related, and the other from the Mirage tour - the rescheduled show on Halloween, when she appeared in the huge witches hat that she bought that afternoon from that store on the drag. (I cant remember the name of the store, was it the Strand? Livia, help me out!)

Cool! You saw the Austin Halloween show in '82? That was the last Mirage show -- again, great stuff! I don't know whether you're into audience live tapes, but both of those shows you attended are on tape.

Anyway, if it was "Monday Morning", I was having an out of body experience simply being in the same room with Stevie!! I was 15 and acting as if I were at a Beatles concert circa 1965!

Remember how, in those days, while the crew was finishing up in the few minutes before the lights went off before the opening number, the "Exorcist" theme by Mike Oldfield always played through the PA? I have such fantastic memories of nervous anticipation, hearing the "Tubular Bells" music pipe through the system, because that always meant Fleetwood Mac was just about to take the stage.
