Rod & Stevie - "Passion" & "Young Turks"

And she isn't the sprite of yore who would clomp onto the stage with Bob Welch and singularly take over the center of attention; she remained in the background. She definitely looked hesitant and struggled to follow Rod around the stage as she awkwardly moved her mic stand from spot to spot. Mama just won't let go of that mic stand! Rod even gestured and said a couple of times aloud "come over here," and she gamely dragged that thing around. Well, here's hoping that by the end of the tour Stevie will walk out with just the mic in her hand!

LOL! Yes. I'm sure Stevie picked the songs because they are a couple of her faves and probably wanted to do something more uptempo rock and passion-ate. But now that we've had the pleasure of watching the results (biting my nails off), and seeing how Stevie cannot let go of her security blanket (mic stand), I kept scratching my head throughout thinking, Stevie needs a tambo in her hand badly, to take the funk out on that! Anyhow, being that we've watched a near train wreck, they should move on - beyond these songs - and truly do a great duet. If that's even possible, I cannot discern from these clips if their voices even blend well
Oh well, if anything, I'm pretty satisfied I decided not to travel to one of the H & S shows. And thanks to those who have recorded footage for those of us not attending, I for one am very appreciative.
