I remember years ago in the late 80's reading an interview with Donna Summer about how she was launching a new tour and had to go back an re-learn all her old songs because she had forgotten them. I thought at the time that is was an odd thing since she had recorded them and sang them on tour before. But having been a singer/songwriter (not profesionally, though) for many years, I look at the stuff I'd written in 93 now, and try to sing it off the cuff and I'm lucky I can remember half of the lyrics! Some songs stick with you longer than others and just because you wrote a song and even had a strong affection for it at the time, does not mean you will always have that affection for it. There are a few songs I've written that I just cringe when I hear them. I think "wow, this was really trite" or "why did I write a song about dolphins?" LOL! So, I don't blame them for not knowing a song they wrote 30 years ago, many lovers, bong hits, pills, rehabs, concerts, albums, and tours ago.

I agree. Wish I wouldve been there to see that performance. Had to be back to work though. Oh well.

I just watched it...my interpretation is that she was totally up to do it but honestly didn't remember and got a sense from him it wasn't happening so she went with that. He did not seem like he wanted to continue and she looked like she would have winged it just for him (even if she didn't remember). Who knows I could be wrong.

There aren't too many lyrics to that song so maybe she did...... I just got through watching my Florida DVD from the Golddust tour and during Gold Dust Woman the camera person shows a close up of a monitor in front of Stevie on stage with the words to the song scrolling.............

I will be the optimist here and guess (yeah right), well maybe I am not the optimist I claim to be but here goes...

Maybe Stevie brought up FL to remind Lindsey how great that song was and how great their harmonies are on those old songs to hopefully release BN on CD.
(Could happen... say in the year... 2015)

Stevie uses telepromptors for her own songs?

Are we talking about the one with the "I keep searching for you" part?

As far as doing this majorly orchestrated song off the cuff right there in front of a camera . . . come on! No way. Stevie doesn't remember words, Lindsey doesn't remember guitar arrangements, & the rest of the band probably doesn't even know the chord progression.

I think it was just a fun little moment, spurred by a card-carrying member of the RIAA with a belligerent streak.

I mean, these two sat there with Mark & Brian at the KLOS studios not very long ago, & Mark & Brian asked them to play stuff, & these two just sat there, unable to think of anything to play & sing together except for the stuff they had been doing on tour all year: Big Love & Never Going Back Again.

In one sense, I was just flabbergasted: these two had been singing & playing together professionally for about thirty years at that point, & couldn't perform anything simply & off the cuff?!

In another, I wasn't surprised at all. Buckingham & Nicks -- "we'll play for you IF it's a song we're doing on tour this year anyway."

Sheryl Crow & others (Michael Stipe, etc.) used to say, when hanging out with Lindsey, how he could just play anything, & I always used to wonder just how they'd know, since I couldn't imagine Mr. Anal actually just jamming with other people in the room.

They (Stevie & Lindsey) are just both really bizarre people: she's been playing the piano for thirty or forty years, & plays at exactly the same level today as she did thirty years ago (which is probably a medical phenomenon), & he's been playing guitar for about fifty years, & can't think of anything to play during a casual interview at a radio station. Extremely bizarre. . . .
Maybe he didn't feel like it?

By the way, have you ever heard Stevie's stunning, mind-blowing,

incredibly professional piano playing on the demo tape of

"The Tower?"

I'll admit it's not incredibly sophisticated but -

wow. . . .

What does every body think ? Discuss~

I think she must have remembered - - -

especially considering that the next line is,

"It may be hard to keep up with me,

but I'll ALWAYS be able to reach you!"

And is about how they would find a way to be together,

no matter what happened in their relationship or whatever.

And they RHYME for crying out loud!

And I saw a publicity photo where the B/N album was on her piano

or something in the background.

Then again, she DOES have those "memory glitches" from time to

time!

What I wanna know is, what did she say to him when she

partially turned her back to the camera after "Say Goodbye" and

looked him right in the eyes???

'Cause to ME it sure looked like,

"I'm still in love with you. . . ."

They sure know how to keep us talkin', don't dey!??

She certainly seemed very nervous and unsure before she said

whatever it was. . . .

Anyway as far as only doing the two lines,

I'm sure she felt that her point had been made.

Thunderously. . . .

So did you hear what she said to him after "Say Goodbye?"

Or is it like, personal or something. . . .

I just thought of something else!

How many people who have posted to this thread,

just ABSOLUTELY LOVE the song "Frozen Love?" ???

YOU know - the one that starts out,

"You may not be as strong as me . . .

and I may not care to teach you.

You may not be able to keep up with me . . .

but I'll ALWAYS be able to reach you!" ?


Yeah - ME too!

So, uhmmmm . . .

what's the next line? . . . .
