Yes it does. But then again, she contradicts herself yearly.

Interesting. I didn't know they played it. But it wasn't at that show, 'cause i was there. Thanks for the tidbit.

It was Irvine Meadows in Southern California. Henley and other Eagles guests were helping Fleetwood with a cancer benefit.

It may have been the first and only time a woman rock star was onstage with three of her former bedmates.

Yes, it does. The High Priestess has been quoted on countless occasions saying that, when she returned to Fleetwood Mac in 1982 after a hugely successful solo outing, "Bella Donna" was NEVER discussed. She claims that she didn't "throw it in their face" and NO ONE said anything about it.

The fact that "Edge of 17" was even playfully rehearsed onstage during "Mirage" Tour rehearsals tells me that "Bella Donna" was, in fact, discussed in detail.....right down to the chords for playing one of its biggest hits. I can hear Christine talking.....and Lindsey playing guitar.......Tisk, tisk, Stephanie! You are rewriting history, again.

maybe she just means they didn't suddenly bow down to her newfound solo rockstar status…. no one treated her any differently than they had before…. and so she didn't throw it in their faces and got up and go her own cup of coffee, etc.

Bands do all kinds of things during rehearsals to blow off steam, so having your band mates goof around a bit trying one of your songs is quite different than any of them saying something to the effect of we heard your solo album and it was really good, congratulations. Which really kinda sucks, if you ask me. You put all this time and energy into something and your band mates can't even congratulate you?

Edge of 17 is 3 chords and they aren't hard to decipher. I doubt there was much discussion.
