I don’t mean to be crass, but I first saw Stevie gain weight at the Mulholland Tomorrow concert in September 1985, where she played a few songs with the Heartbreakers and Don Henley’s band. She was showing a little weight gain on her 1986 tour throughout, although I still think she looked marvelous—a dragon-lady with all that strange kohl around her eyes. She had an edge that year, despite looking a little less put-together. Her drummer, Rick, called her a dynamo in Modern Drummer.
