The funny thing is that the cowbell that Stevie is using for some reason reminded me of that SNL cowbell skit with Will Farrell playing the cowbell. As they said in the skit, "I have a fever and the only prescription is MORE COWBELL". Too funny!!
Check this out:

KLBJ Cow Bell Thread

This is the morning show I listen to every day (cliffdweller may have heard of this too). They've been talking about the SNL cow bell sketch for like 3 weeks now. There's a link in that thread to an avi of the sketch. One of the DJ's, Bob, recently purchased a cow bell and tries to sit in and play it w/ all the bands who come on the show. Another DJ, Dale, does a GREAT Christopher Walken and mentions "what I NEED....is more cow BELL" several times an hour. It's hilarious! My 2 cents are also in that thread-I mentioned Stevie's cow bell and wood block at the Phoenix Hard Rock.

Oh Mirage for sure.

Stevie is so depressed, sad and coked up and her performance is nothing but heartbreaking. Even Lindsey gets off his high horse and shows affection ( hey, Im sure he pretty much despises her at this point). He knew Robin and this is right when that happened. Shes just like...giving it her all , and shes sweating and crying and the blue light and her beauty which cannot be hidden even with all thats going on.

Just a awesome performance...even if its not her really trying...its just Stevie, natural, without barriers.

I was fortunate to be at both shows at the Great Western Forum that were filmed for the Mirage HBO special and video. One night, everybody was all smiles & huggy-touchy, the next there was bad vibes amongst EVERYBODY, ESPECIALLY between Lindsey & Stevie. You can tell when you watch the video which cuts are from which show. The "mad" night, the performances were a little more "intense", but a little sloppy, from either a vocal harmony standpoint and from a "hitting all the breaks & endings right" place...on the "happy" night, the performances were "tighter"; the vocal harmonies were spot on and Lindsey's guitar was in tune the whole night...but, I wouldn't say they were just "going through the motions", but the emotional intensity was at a lower level.

I think the 1982 performances of "Sisters Of The Moon" were a tad bit better than the Tusk tour, mainly because they'd had a tour's worth of performances already under their belt by that time. Being the first encore song in 1982, it was a kind of "featured" piece instead of it being "just another new one off our latest album" song.


Just a point: I think it is safe to say that "coked up" was EVERY show from 1975 til the mid-80's...wasn't just a Mirage tour phenomenon.

You can't go wrong with that. It was pretty awesome

P.S.: The Mirage version rocks for two reasons:

1) It just does

2) I'm not familar with the Tusk version

*gets out tape recorder*

Note to self: "Get Tusk documentary video"

Tusk is great, but Stevie just had a different voice in 82, IMO more exciting, and awsome, maybe more mature ??than the Tusk tour, so I say Mirage

Anywho, my favorite SOTM is definitely the Mirage version. I also love the Tusk documentary version, and the '78 version. Love the Stevie and Chris harmonies

So, you were at the Rosebud ISA performance AND the HBO performances?!

Anyway, interesting about the change in dynamic. Wonder what happened?

And - for me, at least - Mirage version all the way, baby!

I prefer the Mirage version the best. I just love the "brother...sister" part.

Oh and LMAO at the cowbell thread! I love that skit!
