I felt my knees buckle. I think I grabbed Sharon or Glodie's arm. I must say La Nicks did that to me in Madison, WI at the emotionally delivered ending chants of Sara (swallow all your pride) on that opening night, though B&B in Vegas was IMO much better vocally.

Words cannot describe my love for this song. Seriously, the harmonies, the lyrics, the music - it's all so perfect. Chills every time I hear it.

Seriously - does anyone not like this song?

My absolute favorite duet of all time. Lyrically and vocally stunning and haunting at the same time. This song truly captures the essence of Stevie. The thing that touches me most about her vocal is the vulnerability. For a singer to give so much of herself emotionally to an audience like that is truly touching and very difficult to accomplish. This song is a gift and thanks to Tom for sharing it with us and serving it with Ms. Nicks. There are very few songs I can listen to over and over again and consistently get chills - Insider live is one of them. I melt every time he introduces her and the audience goes wild.

Does anyone know what show this is from?

How many times did they sing this live?

skcin · #21 12-28-2005, 02:13 PM

I only know of the one on the Petty Live CD (Pack Up the Plantation?) I'm assuming they did it more than once since Stevie sang live at his shows several times, but I have yet to see it surface on any Petty bootlegs.

Any idea what city the show was recorded in?

Oh, hell no!

The HARD PROMISES version of "Insider" is gorgeous...but the live PACK UP THE PLANTATION version just soars...Stevie was at her peak vocally at this point and it's obvious to all that when she sings with Tom, she truly rises to the occasion.
True brilliance is this song...and the live version...perfection.

I don't know off hand - I don't have my cassette (that's right, CASSETTE

) here. Is it listed in the liner notes? I'll check later.

Los Angeles. I think the Heartbreakers played two nights at the Forum, & this was from one of them.

Stevie also showed up at these other Heartbreaker concerts:

June 26, 1981 San Francisco Cow Palace
June 30, 1981 East Rutherford NJ Meadowlands
July 3, 1981 East Rutherford NJ Meadowlands
September 18, 1981 Irvine CA Irvine Meadows
September 19, 1981 Irvine CA Irvine Meadows
October 2, 1981 Lakeland FL Civic Center
October 6, 1981 St. Petersburg FL
October 8, 1981 Gainesville FL O'Connell Center

There was also a show in Boston but I don't know the date. The Irvine Meadows show is on tape--it includes Insider. It was allegedly at the Gainesville show that they both sang "Wild Thing"

Plus Stevie played a Heartbreakers concert as a guest in July 1985 in Tempe AZ, but no Insider; & she did Stop Dragging with the Heartbreakers at two benefits in September 1981, one in Los Angeles & one in Tucson AZ.

^ I have the 85 Tempe show - always wondered why they didn't do Insider at that show. Of course, I don't know how good it would have been vocally on Stevie's end at that point.

Irvine with Insider is on tape, huh? Has it been converted to CD, by chance?

Could it be?

strandinthewind · #28 12-28-2005, 05:39 PM

Thanks for the info David.

I have never heard the Tempe show, but I taped the show in L.A. two days earlier. More than "Insider," I wish Stevie had joined Tom for "Don't Bring Me Down."

Honestly, I don't know what all has been CD'd, or whether that Irvine show has been CD'd. One guy--Brian--has CD'd some of my tapes in the past, but I can't keep bugging him. Somebody somewhere must have put this on CD.

Thanks so much David. You are always a wealth of information. So the Pack Up the Plantation live version was recorded in Los Angeles? Also, do you know if they did Insider on these other dates you posted she showed up at?
