I'm not sure if anyone talked about this yet or not but i did some research on the 1982 tour
and i found something very intresting. Stevie's friend robin died on october 13th 1982 and
fleetwood mac was on the road in Baton Rouge, LA that same night. Throwndown.net has
the audio of that show. I have not downloaded it or heard any of it yet but what i was
wondering was how could stevie ''drugged or straight'' walk onto that stage and pull off
any type of performance knowing that her friend was about to pass. I just think of stevie's
state of mind for the shows before and after robin's death. Has anyone heard those boots
and how does stevie sound?

This sounds kind of morbid, but does anyone know what time of day Robin died? I'm just wondering if Stevie knew at the time of the concert or not. Nonetheless, I'm furiously downloading from throwndown.net right now.

It's A+ quality (so throwndown.net says!).

I'll put the Mediafire links up when it's down downloading, but I'm just wondering if Stevie actually heard the bad news before the show on October 13th. There's an October 15th show up on Throwndown.net and I'm wondering if that one's "better" (aka more "cracked up" or whatever you want to call it).

This thread has been an interesting read....the stories...the topic....and any thread that has photos from

Sanne2

is bound to be fun!

She always posts photos I have never seen....and they are always delightful!

Somebody help me remember....there was a story posted about a European Tour...and the Bellboy came to deliver room service to Stevie's room...and she was "with the guitar player"....but was it ever ascertained who the guitar player was...(?)

I only remember that the Bellboy said Stevie tipped and when he delivered to Mick's room, Mick was entertaining, friendly and funny but didn't tip. I thought Danax6 posted it and it appeared in a Dutch magazine. I can't remember what tour it was or the specifics. (Old age & drugs do that to you...can't remember ****.) Still it was a cool story.

Didn't CAH say they were in Memphis when they got the call? Oh, nevermind...

I've been lucky enough to be in the first 5 rows at every FM or Stevie concert I've been to-- front row last time And I must say that after those experiences, I would give an arm and a leg to have tickets of that caliber for every show of theirs that I see. It is a phenomenal experience-- and I'm more than happy to see my wallet severely suffer from it, despite common sense... its impossible to get distracted from the music and the stage, and you really don't have a choice but to be wholeheartedly into it. I can only imagine how much more intense it must have been to be there at the band's peak.
