Rock A Little Tour Stories...

"I Can't Wait" : June 3 & 4, 1986 Rock A Little tour at the Worcester Centrum.

Not the best recordings, but decent enough to reveal just how all over the map she was.

Oh there's definitely a few babble performances from that tour...

I had front row at the Forum in 1986. But that damn hairdresser, Jose whateverhisnameis, had a chair set up for him in front of the front row, during the beginning of Beauty & the Beast. The little squit disrupted everything. And then he left after a couple of songs. What a little squit.

During the show a guy in cape with a gruesome mask on rushed the stage and security dragged him away. Stevie immediately ran to the side of the stage to speak to someone. A few songs later she brought the guy in the mask up on stage next to the mike with her and told the story of Beauty & the Beast as a lead-in to the song. The crowd loved it! And she mentioned several times during the show how Halloween was her favorite night of the year. She gave an awesome show that night!

Marty, I think your shows were in 1983, not 1986.

I saw her 4 times in 1986 and I am a bit hazy on the shows..I was at the MSG show and I do remember that being the best and most high energy of the shows that I saw. Here a review of Jones Beach and they didnt even use her picture.

And also 2 photos from Jones Beach...the second close up was during the Edge walk.








Dont mind the specks on Stevies face they are on the actual pic.

I remember the show was fantastic...I was very close to the stage...I loved "I Can't Waite"...it was my fav song at the time (and still one of her best singles)....I was only 12 so i didn't really pay attention to all the craziness...I just remember the concert being brilliant and Stevie rocked the whole night. I don't believe she did Sara and Gold Dust Woman..certainly no gypsy. Rhiannon also wasn't done but How Still My Love was in it's place.

I was at the Chicago show as well - Poplar Creek. This was my second and last time seeing her on this tour. Saw her several weeks prior up at Alpine Valley - WI. The sets were both the same. By May 30th (Alpine) all forementioned songs had been dropped - GDW, Gypsy, Sara.

BTW, Rhiannon WAS performed in Chicago. There's some bootlegs floating around with the entire set, or at least until HAEWAFY - that song always seems to get cut off.

Memories? Nothing earth shattering from any other performance. The WI show was on fire and she was a hot mess. This was also my first concert ever so it was pretty exciting too. A lot of head banging, a lot of ad libs, a LOT of twirls.

The Chicago show was more controlled. I remember thinking that back then. Her vocals weren't all over the place as in WI. But I had lawn seats for Chicago and had to keep sneaking up to the seating areas to get some decent views.

It's really funny to hear audio from these shows you went to so long ago when you were a teenager. I had gotten both bootlegs of these shows back in the mid-late 90's and certain parts of the shows started coming back to me that i had forgotten. One in particular is during the instrumental part of Rhiannon she starts singing "well we heard it through the grapevine...you started it!" Don't remember who she was directing that too but I seem to recall she was looking over at Waddy. She also apparently forgot to introduce her band so did so during this part.

I doubt this but did anyone here see her at the Fairgrounds in Middletown, NY? I had a friend years ago that claims to have seen her there and said she was really f'd up, someone threw their underwear onstage to which she held it up, laughed quite a bit about it and even danced around with it, and then put it on her mic stand, she only did 3 songs because she was too f'd up. I know she was there but the rest of this sounds like an urband legend...

No, she played the whole show. I have the audio, actually. I'm trying to envision the date in my head but I believe it was 8/17/86. I am positive its Middleton, NY.
