Nice find! I've seen a clip of this before, but it was really poor quality. Not sure if I love Stevie's vocals, but it sure was fun to watch.

Love the wicked RALness in her voice! But the outfit? Not so much... All she needed was a sombrero and she could have done the Mexican Hat Dance for Bob Dylan.

I've heard this but have never seen it before! Thanks. I attended a Bob Dylan/Tom Petty show in the states. I love circumstance surrounding Stevie being there; she pretty much self-invited herself.

Being cozy with Tom Petty, she knew this was a rare opportunity to get a chance to be on stage with Bob Dylan. I don't think Tom or Bob asked her to come make an appeareance. She just showed up and inserted herself in the situation. That take balls!

I recall several news articles at the time questioning (something to the effect of ) the surprise of the unannouced appearence of Stevie in Australia.

I loved the vid, but this story makes it so much better. That's the Stevie I love!

I just love her pitch here. Gimme a higher pitched ragged Stevie in concert over the monotone, safe vocal, every time. I don't even think she seems that loaded in it, she's just going for it, and using all the shadings of an imperfect voice- which let's face it, it is. Perfect voices are fine, but unless you have one, I say, go for the gnarly notes.
Maybe that's what I miss sometimes in latter-day Nicks concerts- she plays it pretty (very?) safely, vocally. She may be giving us 'better sung' and more respectable vocalizing in shows in the past decade, but I like me some ragged Stevie singing, and she tends to avoid it, now.
I understand she likely figures 'did that' and now wants to sing by the rules.
Break some rules, Stevie Nicks! Nobody can, like you did and sound so hot doing it!
It's definitely not about how she looks in this clip, but that voice sure grabs your attention. Stunning.

Stevie saving the world, one concert at a time.

I love her singing over Dylan, if only to spare the ears of the audience from having to endure another minute of his boring whine.

And if she invited herself to the party, then I couldn't possibly love her anymore.

Wow this is awesome! I love her vocals here (hate the outfit, tho)
Is that Elisecia Wright? Is that how she got to work with Stevie?

Wow!!! Melbourne Myer Music Bowl 86, I was thereactually to see Bob Dylan, i remember we chatted up the security guard & us girls got in for free, i couldn't believe it when Stevie just appeared out of the blue, she ran on stage like a crazy women, wearing that horrible outfit, at the time i thought she sounded & looked awful.. I now appreciate watching & listening to her RAL era..
Thanks for posting this clip, you have made my day!!!

Yes yes yes, this all the way.

I wish Stevie would just let it all out on stage the way she used to. In the studio too! Perfect vocals are boring vocals - if I wanted perfect vocals I'd listen to Celine Dion or Susan Boyle - I want ragged, angry gypsy-woman rock and roll vocals!
