Having Brad Jeffries on stage for ‘Stand Back’? Cool or cheesy?

[Angel69]

Cheesy. Nah I don't think so, considering during the Wild Heart tour Cyndi Lauper was sailing across arenas in a garbage can. And a year or so later Madonna was rolling around the floor in a wedding dress. It was part of the show, the 1980's. And things got more crazy as the years went on. Just look at the latest, completely ridiculous circus' we see with today's "performers". There are very few who just sing, there always has to be 30 dancers, fire, smoke, at least one reptile and some form of erotic dancing and hair thrashing. Dont get me wrong there are still some who just play. But it is "show business".

When we were watching Pink on the grammy's, one of my friends yelled out "what is she peeing" when she was spinning around and the water started, it was hysterical. And by the way I Like Pink.

Yeah, that's fine and all, but that is not who Stevie Nicks is. Her shows were never about ridiculous antics and stage shenanigans, like Lauper or Madonna or Boy George or Duran Duran.

I always thought it was weird and kind of lame!

It always looked to me like Bob Glaub was laughing at the dancer boy segment on stage. I rather liked it though.

Insofar as that kind of dancing can ever make sense, it probably made more sense at the time than it does now, looking back.

Haha! I laughed when I read that comment about Pink! But yes...she did a great performance! Lady Gaga is also very theatrical in her stage show, but she can actually sing when it comes to all those crazy antics on the stage.

So Brad coming out on the stage is nothing compared to some of the stuff we see today. It's all in good fun though.

Pretty cheesy...but they had lots of energy...which really added to the performance!

If there were a stronger word than "cheesey", I would use it here.
