Thanks, viv.

It's weird to see those shots of Stevie onstage in broad daylight. That must be the Tempe show on the 81 tour? What's weird is that I'm totally comfortable with seeing Stevie onstage in broad daylight at all those old festivals they played from 75 to 78. In her old danskins & top hat, she fits right in to that whole atmosphere. But starting with the 79 tour, she just doesn't look "right" singing in broad daylight. It looks weird.

I think that one shot of her at the dressing room mirror is backstage at the Bowl in 1980. Folks have to get more familiar with that look because it doesn't remind them of the rest of that whole tour. It was oddly different--it looks ahead somehow.
