Also, does anyone know how to ID an early (live) RAL pic from a later RAL pic? Stevie doesn't look as wasted in all of these pics...there is a difference.

I think you're right about the red top picture being WH. Maybe late WH, but it's hard to tell with the hair.

Mick pic - I've always assumed it was RAL because her face is fuller and she looks a little heavier overall. Maybe it's one of those in-betweeny pics from 1984?

If those aren't wasted eyes, I don't know what they are. Mine get the same way when I've had a few too many cocktails. What strikes me the most about these pictures is how OLD Stevie looks. How old was she at this time, in her mid-30's? She looked pretty rough.

Ah sweet jesus...I've never seen these before. Ahhh!!! I was gonna just blame the make up/lighting/expression with the first one but by the time I got to the fourth I can only blame Stevie. NOT pretty

And she's never looked older than her age a day in her life. These pictures show how f**ked she was.

Christ, these photos would be a good tactic to make small children cry. Cue The Exorcist theme tune.

I've found the perfect phrase to describe everything Rock A Little:

Too much. Just too much of everything.

Agreed.

But these pictures still kinda give me a nice happy feeling.

If I ever thought I could tease my hair like that and have any hope of it returning to normal, I think I would want to be Rock A Little Stevie for Halloween. Just the excess of it all is glorious.

These honestly are the scariest picture of Stevie that I have ever seen!!

So glad she was able to make it through this time with herself intact!!! God Bless her.

That's what makes it so wonderful, Rock A Little is the pinnacle of 80's Stevie,

Personally i think she looks better in some of these pictures (SOME being the key word) than she did in the pictures from TOSOTM Tour,

I just hated the masses of hair and puffy dresses from that tour...

I'm not a fan of anything TOSOTM, basically. If we're talking coke vs. klonopin in terms of Stevie's appearance and performance quality, blow is the lesser of two evils. That being said.... Ack! I still can't get over those cowboy hat pictures.

Just an info...many people thinks that this photo is from the RAL era which is not true. This are the photos taken at the Purple Rain premiere! All these photos were taken back in 1984. I made the mistake myself because her hair looked like RAL.
