I attended this tour in Dallas, Sunday night of Thanksgiving weekend 1981. I was 15 yrs old, a sophomore in high school. It was the 3rd concert in my life that I had ever attended and Stevie's 2nd concert as a solo artist ever.

At the time, I had no idea the tour was going to be so short, or how special these shows were. I was just on the onset of my Stevie obsession, I had started really getting into her around the Tusk period, so her going solo was just fantastic to me.

John Stewart was the opening act for the show. He only sang about 7 or 8 songs, Gold being one of them (sans Stevie, but I believe he had some other back up singers).

I've posted it before but the one thing that I thought was incredible on this tour was the lighting during EO17. You can't really see it that well in the WWD video, but they had these spinning beams of light swirling around Stevie's face during the song that beamed out into the arena. It just was this beautiful radiating light and with the driving guitar of Edge it was really perfect for the song. You can see a little bit of it on her hair and on the stage on the released video, just imagine it beaming out to the ceiling of Reunion Arena. It was awesome.

She also made a pretty big deal about being in Texas when doing her band intros, esp. since Lori is from Dallas, and she talked about recording there in Gordon's studio.


It was a pretty fantastic night for me, one that I didn't realize that would become more special to me over time. She captured me that night and I'm still in awe when I see her now - 26 years later.

That such an awesome Story. Have you ever made it up for the Edge walk?
