It's the version that hardcore fans like to associate. Like Stevie, we live in our own bubble. Ledgies know far more about the band than the average fan or the band members themselves. Ledgies spend time researching on the computer. Most of the band, notably Stevie, do not use computers or spend time reviewing their own history. The specific dates and details aren't important. They just wing it.

Nothing is toned down--IMO. If they ' ve made slight adjustments here and there for range issues...that 's about it. Everyone was completely on.

I know. It's like real life, because it IS their real life. I can give you exact years for milestones like births, deaths, anniversaries, a move, or a new job. But that's about it. If you asked me when I stopped working with Frank, even though I remember everything, the goodbye party, where it was held, even what I wore, I probably would not give you an accurate YEAR for that event.

Of course, since Stevie's life takes place in a public forum, she could easily look it up, but why would she even care? It's good enough for her if we remember SOTM and want it. And if I was alone with her and could say, "hey lady, remember how Lindsey rested his head on your back that time?" and I could see by a twinkle in her eye that she had some vague inkling of what I was talking about, that would be good enough for me.

True - but she claims she found two old demos on YouTube which lead to recording them recently.

I've always been a stickler for dates. Besides, Stevie seems to group it all together, which is understandable when you live out of a suitcase. But, let's be honest, the last 30 years didn't happen in the late '70's. That being said, it doesn't matter to me if she wants to believe they didn't perform SOTM in the 80's. I'll play.

In an article released before the tour started she said something to the effect, "maybe we'll do sisters of the moon, we haven't done that since the 80s." I'm sure of it. Also, who cares. She's well aware of the Mirage performance, fans ask her about it all the time...even Jim Ladd has recently. She has even acknowledged that performance recently, can't remember if it was a fan or an article.

She's aware.
