Straight Back Mirage 1982 tour

[David]

Bueller?

For a couple of other tours, the band rehearsed something new from its most recent album but didn't play it in concert. In 1979, they rehearsed "Brown Eyes," "That's All for Everyone," "I Know I'm Not Wrong," & "Honey Hi," but probably didn't play those songs at any actual shows. In 2003, I think they rehearsed some tracks from that year's album which weren't performed live, n'est-ce pas?

After all, rehearsal is the only time that something can be tried to see whether it "works" or whether everyone in the band even likes it.

My butt is really sore from sitting too long today.

They didn't play SB because everyone would have gone to the concession stands and try to steal the beer poster the band posed for (Schlitz?) because the beer was one of the sponsors, but the posters weren't for sale.
At a 'Street Angel' tour I saw in Mass. very early in the tour, they had the pretty colorized SA poster on display at the stands with no copies to sell, before or after the show. The SA tourbook wasn't available for months, til the tour was almost over. I'd already had my black and white copy of the poster, same shot and same size, 24x36, but it was nicer in color.
I finally got my Street Angel tourbook off eBay, just this year.

Very true, David. In 1997, "Twisted" and a different new song of Stevie's, "Shadows Of Love", were rehearsed for The Dance. In 2003, "Angel" and "Storms" were rehearsed, but "Beautiful Child" was the one that made it to the stage.

In 1989, Stevie rehearsed "Long Way To Go" and "Ooh My Love" for the tour for The Other Side Of The Mirror, but neither made the cut, although "Juliet" and "Talk To Me" were performed at the first few shows.

I found the Schlitz Mirage Tour poster in a used record store back in like 1989, for $4...and i got the SA color promo from NRM when the CD was released!

I have that Schlitz poster - it's such a great photo! I also have both the black and white poster and color poster of Street Angel. The photos are slightly different, but the color one is one of my favorites.

I just spent $250 to get a Fleetwood Mac poster customed framed. It's a big color image of them from 1975. They all look a little drugged out. I bought it for a dollar about 15 years ago It was folded, so it has visible creases, but it's still great! It's only an image, nothing else - it doesn't have a "Fleetwood Mac" title on it. When I brought it to be framed, the woman looked at it and said "What a great pictuce...did you know Mick sells ties?" That was cool.

Someday I have to professionally frame the Wild Heart poster. It deserves it. It's been rolled up in a cylinder for for many years. Its such a beautiful poster, on a thick textured stock.

Stevie mentions "dropping it" on the Crystal Visions DVD, but she's wrong: "I Can't Wait" was performed on the whole 1986 tour. Maybe she was thinking of "Gypsy"?

A good observation. It should be noted that Stevie's fan know/have a more acurate history of her career than she does. She often gets facts wrong, revises history, and spins stories - dramatizing them for better or worse.

Serious Stevie.

I wish they could've played every song from the Tusk Tour rehearsal footage. What a show that would've been!

If the song sounded good in rehearsals, I'd love to hear it. Love the studio outtakes and album version.

Hey! Not bad in some parts! I think this might work on stage, maybe next tour?

And a link as well, just in case:

But not Red Rocks, sorry.

Thanks for bumping that, I browsed and found a sick EO17 that I love, where she shouts "Whoah no! Not her! Not you! Not ME!" in that endearing, shuddery, barky RAL way.
