Wow, she looks great in those stills from the video, but those bottom 3 pics are kind of scary.

The first five seconds of Gate and Garden kill me, the fact that there's no intro makes it sound so rushed and amateurish.
But the rest makes up for it.

I don't think she ever looked "bad", but honestly there were times during the "Klonopin Era" when she was much heavier than now. This is the thinnest (Rosemont) that I recall ever seeing her and I go back to the late 70s with seeing her live during Rumours. in the 80s, the thought of being confined to the house in AZ and passing out at a friends home and hitting your head on the fireplace still reverberates with me.

On another note, anyone give any thought to who Stevie dated that was almost 20 years younger than her (Billy Corgan comes to mind)??? She would have been 49 and he was about 29 in 1996-1997 when he bought a home and moved to AZ. Any thoughts on this??? I know they were good friends when he did Landslide. I am thinking Billy for sure.

Not her best moment. I remember Howard Stern saying at the time that they should have made Stevie an honorary member of Heart.

Blue Denim has a great vocal.

Making poor Bruce Hornsby say "Well" all those times must have given him a stroke or something.

1 - Gate and Garden is a phenomenal song once you get passed what is so often criticized about the song.

2 - Blue Denim is another phenomenal song that gets lost in most people's disdain for Street Angel.

3 - Rock A Little has some awesome songs that I love more than the hits on that record...such as Some Become Strangers and If I Were You.

4 - Clinton event was Stevie at her absolute worst-looking ever, imo, but that's no surprise.

Word. Word. Word and yeah, Word.

Looking back on it, her face seems to be a big sign, PRE Street Angel like the Bill Clinton show her face was so round and well.... fat. Though it is hard to judge the rest of her as they way she cleverly dresses. Though Michele my love of nearly all things stevie cant hide that fact that Stevie isn't a size 8. She seems to carry it where most women do, on her tummy foremost, then her thighs, then her arms.

Looking back, she doesn't look *that* bad but at the time it was such a huge shock to me. I felt so badly for her; it was almost as though one could tell how nervous and uncomfortable she was.

That came through most of all in the performance, I felt.

And I remember some comedian made a joke later on and asked "Can someone tell me why Sally Struthers was up there singing with Fleetwood Mac?"

Wish I could find the 'Behind The Mask' mini-skirt photo for everyone to see. But then again, it's not exactly a feast for the eyes. It's pretty bad, actually. What could she have been thinking...

Yes, I remember looking at her bare arms during NGBA in the SYW tour, while she was over to the side dressing for Rhiannon.

Actually though, today, I wouldn't be surprised if she is a size 8. It's hard to tell with the layers she wears and the sound equipment which adds extra bulges, but she looks small. Not toned and taut, like in the old days, but . . . frankly I think a size 12 would be too big for her. Of course, since most of the fashionable celebrities are a size 0 now, 8 isthe new 12

I kinda liked Stevie's look at the inaugural. I think I hated Stevie's looks (& performance) the most at the tail end of the 1990 Fleetwood Mac tour, during which I was unlucky enough to see the Oakland Coliseum show in person & to watch the Bethlehem PA video, & then after that I hated her big shoulder pads & huge hair on the Timespace tour (reminds me of when John Simon once referred to Yoko Ono's hair as a "Disneyland for the insect world"). Stevie on her Street Angel tour was totally bitchin & supremely excellent for her age.

Some people really hated the way she looked on the Rock a Little tour, but me, I thought she looked way cool, like in this photo. It was the last of her legendary Empress of the Pagoda looks.
