I just stood to the side and watched in awe. She was amazing, but I still regreat missing the beginning of the show. |
It was probably Ticketron back then. Remember them? They had colorful tickets. You missed Stevie twirling out to the microphone on "Gold Dust Woman" & the first thing out of her mouth was one of her trademark Dorian mode yelps, right before she started the first verse. From that point, one knew that one was in the presence of greatness.
If you missed "Outside the Rain," you can hear that from my recording which I uploaded a few days ago. When did you finally arrive?
