"No Spoken Word" 1986 Red Rocks...speaking in tongues!!!

I've heard old boots during shows and I'm like, Poor Sharon and Lori...with Stevie's crazy ass singing, how did they know when to do the backup parts? It would have driven me nuts!

hahaha....yeah, you can hear parts where the girls sound like they're thrown off and aren't sure whether they're supposed to be singing or not.

i heard a radio interview in 1983 where Stevie admits "i put them (backup singers) through the ringer everynight..."

I have always believed she was saying "I don't know how to learn form some God damn motherf*cking book..." in the Red Rocks version of No Spoken Word . We've all heard the potty mouth before. Does anyone know what book she's talking aout?

I don't think she gets that explicit...since i've posted, i have put the tape on numerous times (i need to get a life) and i'm actually watching her mouth and it appears that she's saying "not from the pages (and possibly) well that goddamn whatever whatever whatever learn from a book!" i don't think we'll ever know....just like we'll never know how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop....we just have to deal with it.

Just like Johnny Stew said, she probably was just fumbling over her own ad libbing.
