Tango in The Night Tour

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 post-production on the TITN VHS/DVD was a bit much. From remixing to re-recorded vocals (and Stevie's studio shot close-ups), made the show seem somewhat chilly and detached. I enjoyed the video at the time, but their live performances where so much more charismatic and energetic than the video.

I agree, Stevie's overdubs on Everywhere were awkward, but it sounded less severe live. (I thought her harmonic "wells" during the chorus of Isn't it Midnight enhanced the song.) She's Stepford Stevie in the video - very controlled and mannered - but she was much more spontaneous and spirited during the performances I saw.

I wish the video had the entire show, because I feel the abbreviated set list is somewhat lethargic.

I agree. From this thread it almost seems like the band wasn't quite as bad as some would make you believe. If only I was around back in those days!!! I know they played Freedom Hall that year, so I soooooo would have been there!!!

We used to sing "Freedom Isn't Free" in grade school. We'd sing it usually before our Friday morning assembly started.

Freedom isn't free
Freedom isn't free
You gotta pay the price
You gotta sacrifice
For your liberty

Do you remember that song, Ethan?

Wasn't that the song from Team America?

I just posted a little bit on this in the "first time" thread.

My first Mac show was this tour in Tampa, Florida. It was at the University of South Florida SunDome and I lived on campus, so all I had to do was walk up the road to the show.

I thought it was a great show. I thought the band did a real nice job. I missed Lindsey, but loved that it took two musicians to replace him.

Everyone just seemed happy, which wasn't something I'd previously associated with the band. I remember thinking Christine in particular was marvelous.

I wish I could remember every single detail. I'm just really glad I have this memory to have at all.

Firstly I had no idea that these where overdubs..., i knew that the close up's were re filmed and pasted on as on the red rocks dvd.

I agree with you on isn't it midnight as well, possibly the stand out of the whole dvd imo. and stevie does enhance it with the wells.

I also like the kind of haunting echoey sound of dreams and gold dust woman, but Seven Wonders sounds more like a country song to me on this dvd.
It's way too slow...

I totally get what you mean about abbreviatted set lists on dvd's, it's thoroughly annoying... can you imagine the red rocks dvd with i can't wait and the wild rhiannon she did on that tour.

And what about the filmed White winged dove performance from LA in 1981, it would have been awesome to have blue lamp and how still my love on that video/dvd....

Why do they do it to us!!!!
