Same here!!!

I thought Second Hand News made a great opener to their set as well!

David...I think I read a description of Leather and Lace that you posted before but can you describe the whole thing again, please? Did anyone know Don was there before he came out? He walked out after Stevie was already singing, right? (that is the way it sounds on the audio) Lindsey and Christine played it for her? Did they do a good job?

Thanks for the photos too! I can forgive Stevie for the bags under her eyes...she was going through Hell at that time. Landslide is so sad from this show. "I know she's here"...

I'd like to know why Don was there...

Thanks David for the pictures. I like adding concert photo's to the boots that I have, so I have some visual aids when I listen to them.

Yep, Don was a scheduled guest. His name is even on the T-shirt! It was all planned.

He walked out after Stevie was already singing, right?

I don't remember exactly, but that's what it sounds like on the tape. Sounds as if Stevie started the first verse, & then Don came out while Stevie was singing the first chorus. What I remember is that when all the other bands were playing & Don didn't play, I think people generally thought that Don had canceled -- because we didn't know he was going to do a song with Stevie during the Fleetwood set. We figured he'd do his own set like Joe Walsh & Glenn Frey.

Lindsey and Christine played it for her? Did they do a good job?

They played it. They did ... you know ... a good job. They didn't play the right chords, but they did fine. The song obviously doesn't need much more than some acoustic guitar strumming & some electric piano.

Thanks for the photos too! I can forgive Stevie for the bags under her eyes...she was going through Hell at that time. Landslide is so sad from this show. "I know she's here"...

It was really a great show in terms of something being weird. I used to call it my favorite live Fleetwood performance, & it probably still is one of my favorites. They were very loud but very clear -- excellent sound from the sound man. Did you read Robert Hilburn's review in the L.A. Times? Les hunted that up & posted it to the BLA. In a year-end Times Calendar, Hilburn called it the best concert in Orange County that year. "Sisters of the Moon" was the best -- it makes the one at the Forum sound like Anne Murray -- & Lindsey got a really huge standing ovation for "I'm So Afraid." The whole night was a combination of unnerving & exhilarating. I'm still looking for my little blue brochure that had Robin's picture on it. I have my T-shirt but I don't think I have my ticket stubs any more.

Thanks! That is interesting that the brochure had Robin's photo on it.

I love listening to this version of L and L and imagining what it would have been like being there. I would have loved to hear LB play that tune.
