The vhs was the same as what Showtime aired.

I remember that too but it always struck me as sincere.

Red Rocks is great. I definitely prefer it to, say, Soundstage.

I love the opening of Red Rocks where they show all the fans cheering on ..Was any of you guys in the video.

The close ups were so we didn't see the coke on her nose that she was doing between songs

wasn't there an interview with the guys who edited Red Rocks saying what an absolute nightmare it was?

At one point during "Stand Back", you can hear her singing, but she's not on the screen! There is nothing original or authentic about Red Rocks. Most of it I find cringe worthy.

Thank you! I'm not the only one who hates this video. Actually let me take that back, I love it because it's so bad! Whenever me and my dad watch it we can't help but laugh. In fact I will present you guys with a list, that I painstakingly made just for you guys, of all the parts that we laugh at.

1.) The Keyboard Player-This man is so over the top on how he leans on the piano and so overdramtigcally sways during Beauty and The Beast and Has Anyone Written.

2.) How could we not mention those close-ups? I hate how there so prominent. It's like the editor was under contract to use every single Stevie close-up that they shot.

3.) I love how she basically stops singing halfway through Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You. It's like she thinks if she starts talking through the song the song will be made even more mellow dramatic.

4.) What is with the "choreography" on Stand Back. It looks like there was absolutely no plan as to what would happen during the dancing part on Stand Back. Instead of dancing it looks more like there about to freakin' fight each other or something.

5.) Back to the close-ups. Can she look anymore mellow dramatic during all of those close-ups?!? It's so annoying but then after awhile I can't help but laugh at it.

Despite any flaws, I was just thankful to see the concert!

Isn't there an interview where Stevie mentions all the closeups in the context of how Mick stayed with her all night as they taped them?

I remember that too. I think Mick also writes about it in his first book.
I would love to see all the original footage. Stevie usually cannot lip sync but she did a great job for Red Rocks
