Lots of Stevie videos just surfaced on YT

[rhiannondontgo]

Just wanted to let y'all know a bunch of Stevie stuff just surfaced on youtube. (Thanks so much Mike Bise!) Lots of stuff I haven't seen before.
Videos include her '96 soundcheck in a flowered white sundress, coverage from the 98 Mac thing @ the grammys, her 'performance' as the ghost of christmas past, clips of her and Tom recording SDMHA & Insider, lots of interviews from the 80s through early 90s, etc.

Check it out here

SO glad to see that Knocking On Heaven's Door has been uploaded. I've missed that performance.
And how cute is Stevie reading A Christmas Carol?

[Musicman408]

God these are great!



For some reason when I watched this, I thought of Stevie becoming kind of a cult Indie artist who could play smaller, more intimate gigs, and dig in deep and do lesser known songs..... I guess we may never see this.

[windbecame]

yeah, when Mike Bise was ACTUALLY ....ON the ledge... he brought MANY GREAT things to download.... WHY are you gone Mike??? I miss you!

[Macfanforever]

Thanks Mike.

le sigh. That mid 1990's floral sun dress is SO frumpy. It looks like something any soccer mom in her mid 40s would have bought at JCPenny or from the Jacklyn Smith line at Kmart. Then again, this was the Rock Bottom of Stevie's career. She was playing tiny shows at practically State Fair level venues. Sure, she was looking better than in 10 years and even sounded good (though I think she sounded even better for Dance/Enchanted era) once she stopped smoking (for at least a while)

Did anyone notice that she was totally wearing a Rumours album cover style outfit for the Florida show? It looks like its sleeveless and low cut! Why didnt she wear that for The Dance!? Had she put on weight after that show? She looks great.

She performed shows in 1996 and Twisted was performed at all of them. These dates had nothing to do with the Enchanted Tour.

Yes. that was my point. These radio station promotions seem more like Street Fests than real concerts. Enchanted was a WHOLE other deal entirely than the post Street Angel - Pre-Dance era. It seems like that was when Stevie was more or less forgotten as a megastar and just trying to heal herself and get back to her real self. You can really see in these 1996 videos how the glimmer was returning and what convinced the Dance tour promoters (and I suspect Mick) that Stevie was BACK and ready to be the sexy vixen she was and pull off the Dance tour. The rest is history!

There was an outdoor radio station gig with lots of bands in Boston. I have the video. Then I have the video of the Florida show on a pier she did where the poster commented on the Jaclyn Smith style dress she wore during soundcheck. Then there was an Ohio gig. There might have been one more show that year that I cannot recall right now. These were all small crowd shows. Try to find a video of this Boston gig. You will love her outfit and her choice of songs. The performance was outstanding.

[Macfanforever]

Thats news to me.I did not know she toured in 1996.

I've never seen those Florida videos before.


I wish she did state and local fairs.

Here we got the Big E in Mass and the Durham Fair in September.

[AnthonyMI]

Those were not tours. Those were pity parties by local radio stations for promotions. We have those in Chicago. I'm seeing a lot of washed up 90's bands headline those street fests.

I've never seen the Columbus show but the one in Boston you can really see bits of the old Stevie coming back. I remember watching that show and getting oh so excited when she did Twisted and GDW...with those great vocals and even a little tambo thrown in. She had been "away" both physically and spiritually for so long at that point and this was indeed the beginning of the return of Stevie Nicks.

[Macfanforever]

Thank goodness for the medium which is called the internet.

I would be totally lost without it.

I would not know of the upcoming tours and miss out on shows.

Anyway thanks to Mike for sharing these golden memories with us with his video collection.
