I'll bet you like the SYW orchestra, too. And think LIB is awesome(if you've even seen it).

I didn't bash your opinion, as such. However, I will say that I'm not sure the drag queen joke was that funny...

It would have helped if you had prefaced your comment with "I don't think the reviewers get it, they are probably thinking...[etc.]"

Either way if it was your opinion or the reviewers, I would have debated. Which is different than bashing.
And don't pretend you don't agree with the reviewer...

I have no idea what you're talking about with the orchestra and all that, which isn't related to clothing one bit... But for the record, I prefer more spare arrangements of their music.
But if I did really like the orchestra, wouldn't you be bashing my opinion? Don't care, just saying. You've also by those comments effectively shown that you group changing clothes on a par with having too many musicians, which you don't like, and therefore it stands to reason that you also don't like the clothing changes.
Ah-HA!

Nope.
edit- (I've been up waaaaaay too long, so I (don't) apologize for any incoherency in the following!)
lately here, there certainly seems to be a movement of a bunch(okay, maybe only a few, but when they post every 10 seconds of the day, it sure FEELS like a bunch) of new Stevie Ledgies, who seem to endlessly proclaim that the worst sh*t she's ever done, smells like roses. Orchestra....The Second Time.....dressing up like a witchy gypsy, doesn't matter. IT ROCKS!
They wear on me like a bad case of the clap(not that I'd know what that feels like).


In short, the wardrobe changes have/had NOTHING to do with the quality of the music. Get it?

I understand. Really. I just laugh and shake my head.

I don't know what she does these days, but back in those days, she changed only outer garments. She started with her skirt, leotard & boots, & just changed capes & shawls--outer things. It's not as if she went backstage to change her underwear or her socks.

By the way, I think instead of frankenbocks, Stevie should get out there onstage in white socks. I think that would be a really cool, granny sort of look. Plus, it would bring a sense of community theater to the proceedings--of local residents performing plays like "On Borrowed Time" or "Our Town" or even musicals like "Grease" or "Bye Bye Birdie."

I want to see Stevie granny it up a little. I'm thinking of Vicki Lawrence in "Mama's Family" early '80s.

Maybe the band just went to Alaska for promotion, but didn't actually perform there?

Interesting point. It's a possibility, I would say. They went to England in the fall of 1976 to promote themselves, but didn't actually play any shows.

If they were in Alaska at some point in 1977 to promote themselves but not to play, that would explain why I've never been able to dig up any Alaska tour dates.

Thank you! This never occurred to me.
