They didn't really do a concert together. I was at this show. In fact, this recording is the recording I myself made. Neil's got the wrong date on it. It was August 28, 1986. It was Stevie's last solo appearance in the Los Angeles area in 1986.

This was a big benefit that Henley put together with all his pals in the music biz to raise money to support some of the environmental & development issues in L.A. that year -- something to do with commercial development & safe drinking water. The show was called "Get Tough on Toxics."

Performers included Jimmy Buffett, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, the Eagles (sans Glenn Frey, who was laid up in hospital), Cheech Marin (whose "Born in East L.A. was a hit that year), Lindsey, Stevie & Mick.

Lindsey played his own set with his own band: "I'm So Afraid" & "Never Going Back Again." Stevie & Mick played a brief set of "Rhiannon," "Edge of Seventeen" & "Stand Back," & Stevie returned later in the evening to perform "Leather & Lace" with Henley (only the fourth time she had ever performed the song live with him). Stevie's band was her tour band.

Interesting sidenote: Joni sang "Cool Water" in her set. Robert Hilburn reviewed the show for the L.A. Times, saying that Lindsey & Warren Zevon were the two highlights.

Thanks for the update Dave, small world it certainly is!
