Yeah I saw that one. It wasn't a surprise (Stevie was billed to show) but it was a blast of energy. She sang Stop Dragging & Don't Bring Me Down with the Heartbreakers, & then Stand Back solo & then Leather & Lace with Henley. She & Petty only did Needles & Pins in 1981.

I can tell you when Lindsey showed up at the first Behind The Mask show I was so depressed. A friend from San Francisco called and told me that he had made an appearance in Oakland.

I thought that show sucked. The band pretty well sucked at that time. They had no energy or spontaneity; they were packaged like cream cheese & they performed with no believability or sincerity. It was like a Rick Springfield act. Lindsey's appearance was a surprise, yes, but he appeared more alienated from the rest of them than ever. I thought the whole night was embarrassing. I just wanted to get the hell out of there. I dropped out of Fleetwood Macism right after that.
