Tango in The Night Tour

[AliceLover]

The first month of the tour was definitely the best, in Stevie terms. Everyone else was great the whole way through. I thought it was a great show when they were doing "Gypsy" and "Rhiannon" before they got cut in October of 87. Stevie still had a lot of fire in her. I suggest getting the Ames, IA 87 DVD, Stevie is pretty firey.

Depending on exactly when Stevie was put on Klonopin, I would say this shows a pretty good example of how they totally zonked her out...

I think she still would have been firey without cocaine, but then the klonopin definetly f-ed that up.
If you watch the Live DVD from the cow palace in san francisco, she might as well be asleep on stage,
And has anyone heard Everywhere from that DVD, stevie randomly sings over the top of christine "I wanna be with you" it sounds terrible...

The rest of the band is in pretty top form though
Imo, i wish lindsey hadn't left at that stage, but Vito and Burnette did an alright job of filling in.
As for the albums they did, the greatest hits tracks and Behind the mask, they're catchy and commercial, But their is none of that (excuse the pun)

Fleetwood Magic...

Were any of the dates officially announced and/or put on sale prior to when Lindsey bailed in early August? Considering the fact that opening night was September 30, along with some pretty big dates capacity/market wise early on (like Alpine Valley on October 3), I'm betting that at least some dates were put on sale early-mid August.

I saw them on Oct. 30th at the Boston Garden. It was my first time seeing FM and Stevie live. I don't remember if we already bought the tickets. I think they at least announced the date because I do remember panicking when they had a TV press conference to announce Lindsey left the band, and at the same time they announced Rick and Billy would fill in on the tour.

It was such an exciting time back then. MTV still showed videos and had VJ's and they would announce when the world premiere of the videos would be. I would be planted in front of the tube getting goosebumps when the world premier logo came on before seeing the Tango videos for the first time! Those were the days!
