Neither, actually. She wore them for a minority of dates in 1989 because she broke her foot or something, & substituted some specially designed sports shoes. But after her foot healed, she was back in her Di Fabrizio boots for the remainder of the tour, & she stayed in her boots for the Fleetwood Mac 1990 tour, her 1994 solo tour, Fleetwood's 1997 tour, & her 1998 solo tour.

She started wearing her Reeblechs (which were similar to the orthopedic sports shoes she had to wear in 1989) for the majority of the time on her short Millennium Tour in late 1999/early 2000. She also wore them throughout her entire Shangri-La Tour in 2001, & at just about all the one-up shows she did for private parties & corporations & benefits after that.

She's been in them virtually ever since, & will probably be carried out in them.

Thanks for the shoe update

You're right David, they were a little different then the Reeblechs. But just as blechy, she had two pair that night too, one tan and one black. Same orthopedic concept though, a big thick rubber sole running the entire length of her foot with no 'heal' to speak of giving her a 'Fred Gwynne' Herman Munster type appearance. At the second Jones Beach stop of the '89 tour, I think she zipped on the real platforms for HAEWAFY but I might be mistaken. If indeed we are doomed to Reeblechs forever, I am very sad to hear this.

I don't care if she comes out in big fluffy pink bunny slippers or Reeblechs or whatever. I am thrilled she is still touring at all and happy to see her no matter what

I guess I obsess over details. I like the whole Stevie package of yesteryear. Alot of people are like me though, and really prefer the platforms over the Reeblechs. I'm not the only one.

Well of course I prefer platforms over Reeblechs I was just making the point that it's not all that important to me but I understand it is to a lot of people.

I'm glad you understand. Since we're on the subject of 'Juliet', did you ever hear the freaky, outrageous demo of 'Juliet'? It's just simple guitar and drums- oh man!!! What vintage Tango-era vocals she lays on it! Chock full of "welllllls", in fact, you'll just about lose count of how many times she bleats out the word 'well'. If you dig her vocal style on 'Seven Wonders' you'll be ALL over this gem! The version she recorded for TOSOTM sure was cleaned up and sprinked with fairy dust and synths, hard to believe the song had such raunchy origins!

It's like walking down the aisle on your wedding day in a $20,000 gown and a baseball cap from WalMart on your damn head. I swear somewhere there's a custom shoemaker who can help her . . .

I must have it somewhere - I'll have to find it & give it another listen. I lose track of all the different demos/versions/takes of everything!

And Seattlemark - you are so right.

The only other Candian show on this tour was in Ottawa ( My Hometown). It was at the CCNE otherwise known as Super Ex. I was only 8 at the time so unfortunately I didn't evene know she existed. If anyone has a half decent copy of this show on either Video or Cd I would love a copy.

Amen! Like wearing a Vera Wang with a pair of Timberlands. The whole line and curve of the outfit is destroyed. Surely the Maya Custom Shoe Salon could do a consultation like they used to. Maybe she lost their address...

As I said before I'm not a fan of the album version of Juliet but since you've given the demo rave reviews I will definitely go back and listen to it. I have it and I've listened to it before but not for a long time. I'll check it out tonight and by the way how did you know I dig her vocal style on Seven Wonders

My favorite Stevie vocals are 85-87 RAL, Tango so I'm sure I'll love it! I especially love the vocals on "When I See You Again" (when she says "what's the matter baby" real low and raspy OMG!!). I could just about die when I hear her voice on that song. It's so distinct and she has never sounded like that since then. If only I could have heard that voice live!

The demo of Juliet is painful. That's not singing, that's high-pitched mumbling and warbling.

If it's a question of comfort, there's got to be a better solution. I'm not a 57 year old woman who wore uncomfortable boots all her life, but if I were her I'd send that bitch Karen out to find something that works.

LOL - everyone hates Karen - I think she is innocuous
