In my opinion, sometimes I think we blame Klonopin
too much. It's used by Stevie and us as an excuse for her
less than stellar performances.


I wonder what a clean Stevie would have performed
like back in her prime.

I agree in many ways. She got a lot of meh reviews for FM shows back in the Rumours days because she was indeed off key or lackluster or otherwise out of it. I love her to bits but the thing that just pisses me off about her is how she just pissed away her gift and at times took it for granted. She was more focused on partying than in being professional and taking care of her voice as well as giving a great show. Yes, ok, she really didn't know the proper way to sing and did real damage to her voice, but she often was too focused on having her own good time than on giving the best show. I'm sure in her altered state she thought she *was* giving good performances, but....

She described earlier in her career that being in FM was like being in the army, you have to be there no matter what....(ok stevie's version of the army) and she often in the early days used drugs to stay awake/engaged/etc because of the intense schedule. But it impacted often her performances.

Here is the 1989 "You f*** with my people........ clip
I love how she transitions back into her Has anyone ever written anything for you intro seamless like nothing happened. Then its cute at the end where she says "and I'm sorry."
I say good for Stevie for paying attention to her fans.

at her

What? I was not making any relation to that. Have you responded to the wrong person? I simply was posting what some were talking about. The infamous 1989 show where this was recorded.
Not sure how or why you think me posting this has any relation to the pineapple incident. It was others that confused the incidents. Not me

I don't understand your hostility Olive. This is the last time I will respond to you. You are not making any sense and first accused others of calling you a liar....that never happened either. Then you are attacking me. I have not commented on anything you have written on this thread.
I never claimed to be at any CT show and I never wrote anything about anything you have written on this thread. I have no idea what other members were at any show. You are trying to drag me into a dispute you have with other members. Its not going to work. Sorry.

I never called you a liar. I corrected your information. I'm older and my memory isn't always too clear on the names of the cities or venues or of which tour events happened but here it goes: The pineapple incident happened in Rhode Island. The Don't F with my People incident happened in Connecticut.

In those days every concert was different. I was at Colt State Park...."the Wind" . Mirage, with Tom Petty, ....it was always different and you never knew when you'd see Stevie "go for it". Much more calculated now and WAY less high notes.....saw her reinvigorated by Sheryl Crow but have actually skipped some year coz lately coz every note for every concert was the same.

Default Memories of Stevie 80s new

Gotta say young uns, you missed out to not see Miss Nicks in the 80's and early 90's. Those of us of a "certain age" living in rural areas couldn't see Fleetwood Mac in the 70's.., tickets were like Led Zep or Taylor Swift... Just not happening. Finally I got to see Stevie for the first time at Boston Garden 1981 w Tom Petty. WBCN said she might show up and she did w really long hair and the maroon mini skirt from the Bob Welsh "gold dust woman" gig....she was so happy and like I said, every concert after that you did not know what you'd get. I saw Stevie uninspired, looped up, awesome one liners, crying, high notes, low notes, and times-"you'll -remember-on-your-deathbed-that-awesome". And in the new stuff there have been moments; but not like the old days. And I don't think they should be expected to perform in their 60's like their youth...look at Sinatra and Tony Bennett...some of their best stuff was when they were older...I think Stevie should take a chance....she can't do the high Rhiannon stuff and doesn't want to do the drug-–addled improv.....what can she do now with all that experience? saw some inspiration on 24 and songs like Moonlight but her vocal coach might be holding her back. Am thankful for the memories and tapes. Stevie back then was incredible!
