I thought both shows I caught at Jones Beach were dull. Every song, every single one, featured a costume change. And what costumes! Shoulder pads up to her ears, satin bathrobes, little hats, big hats, and everything was a different color. Well, it certainly was different. I wonder how many wardrobe mistresses she needed for that tour. Sharon and Lori wore the same black outfits, except for ROF where they put red short robes over their black outfits. I remember thinking something was wrong with Stevie. Oh, and Frankenbocs made their first appearance on this tour. I think I remember 'Alice' being sort of pretty, with the wind from the Atlantic ocean blowing her microphone ribbons.
Funny how that breeze can make a memory for me there, I also have a mental image of her fluttering at the end of the stage in that same Atlantic ocean breeze on the 'Enchanted' tour, during 'Twisted' especially the nice bridge part. The wind blew her billowing gypsy robes, and the ribbons on her tamborine. She couldn't have planned that better.
