I'm guessing that the "dirty word" is orgasmed?

I came - so there!

Also, that live version of Gypsy is so mother fukcing gut wrenching for me to hear. My throat hurts at the pain in her voice - my hreat at the expressiveness in the delivery. That last "bight eyes - briiiiight eyes" when she holds herself makes me cry.

What a fukcing woman indeed!

and then, of course, the panty revealing, drunken listing spin seen here



I am thinking coked up acid trip at about 2:10 - well, that or LB touched her in her bikini area a few seconds earlier~

Also - how HOT is she is in that top hat during GYOW!

So agree with you. Mirage is outstanding. I got many a friend hooked on FM after seeing this video.

And I will add that I recently purchased that Brazilian Import of the Mirage Concert on DVD. The video quality is superb, audio, not so good, but decent. I heard so many different takes on this release, but it is pro quality (except for the incorrect cover art/photo).

the look...the STEVIE look...jaw.dropping.perfection. and those boobs? sheesh. loves it.

And who could forget Stevie's "no panties" flash!

Oh yes, the Mirage Tour Video is just excellence! It's not perfect and that's what makes it awesome.

The Chain - probably the best live version of this song EVER
Go Your Own Way - see note about The Chain
Sisters of the Moon - amazing...rock on Stevie!

So Gypsy is a little strained on the vocals and Lindsey gets a bit too friendly with the microphone during Not That Funny...this all adds up to this being one hell of a video. I can certainly see how someone could get turned onto the Mac just by seeing it.

I know! I gaze in amazement during those close-ups. She has never been hotter.

Let's not forget Lindsey's lack of 'panties' either.

Gah, how I love this show. My favourite ever.

I never got around to looking at his ass.

Actually, I can't really enjoy the video because I spend the whole time figuring out which of the two shows the scenes are from. (since I was at both shows that they filmed)

The easiest way to tell is that when they glare at each other, it's one night; when they smile it's the other. After 25 years, I can't remember which show was the "happy" show and which one was the "I'm going to kill you as soon as the show's over" show (the first night or second night). But, each show had a diametrically opposite vibe from beginning to end. At least they were consistent throughout each show.

The filmed night was 21st October (I remember this cos its my birthday). I have both shows on mp3 somewhere and there are some slight differences although the two gigs are very similar in sound and style. But the Mirage Live gig was the 21st.

OK, here's "The Chain" from the gig the first night (the 20th October). Note the differences.

Hey madformac,

That one you posted is indeed from 10/20/82, but it was not one of the LA shows. That one is from Oakland. I believe the two LA shows at the Forum were on 10/21 and 10/22, which are the two concerts that were spliced together to come up with the Mirage Video.

To the best of my knowledge, I don't think either of those shows have been leaked yet. Not saying they don't exist, but I haven't seen them anywhere or heard of anyone finding them recently.

3) Beautiful dark intensity during the verses

4) Quiet darkness during the beginning of the vamp

5) "Dreams unwind- still it's a state of minnndd- yea-ah!!" howl

6) "Take me the like the wind, child- with the sky...." deep and dark

leads into-

7) The pull-back-mic screaming

8) "I don't change and YOU don't change and it's ALLLL the same
Rhiaaaaaannnonnnnnn......."

9) Ending with the Stevie ballerina kick swirling down into an devasted pile


On top of all that- she looks incredible. The hair, the choker, the dress, the chiffon wings, the legwarmers- the FREEEKING boots.

It's great stuff!!

For you!

In many way and to me, this live performance of this song was the last of a great era. Check La Nicks signing to John M. and then that wild dance at the end Also, she is so fukcing HOT it burns my eyes to see it!

I mean they are way off key and her voice sounds way rough - but give me that performance over a slick one any day!
