As for her drug indulgences, the only performance, to me, that she really looks out of it (aside from everything she did while on Klonopin) was the Saturday Night Live performance of Standback and Nightbird. I think it's the droopy eyes but she looks totally wasted there. I'm sure she was under the influence during many other performances but that one really stands out, also at the end of Nightbird when she's leaning up against Waddy and apparently isn't able to right herself until Waddy gives her a little push...all done with love, of course!

Yep, that was the first time I ever saw Stevie. It was awesome, however at this point I don't remember much of the show. I have a few memories, but they are growing fuzzy.
I would have loved to have seen her on the Wild Heart tour. I think the 1983/1986 tours were Stevie at her most coked up though. She is certainlly on something at the '83 US Fest. It's a great show, but you can see she's on something. Watch as she runs across the stage and jumps over the monitors in those platforms! Listen to her explain what "Stand Back" is about and how she and the girls will deliver the new album to everyone personally, like the girl scouts!! Great show, but she's really wasted.
