No ,but,I wish I was there.I attended the Connenticut stops only,at that time my old car was about to die,so out of state shows were out.

As was reading on,and Davids post on FM notable concert list .As I see the classic .

Sept. 23, 1975 Wallingford --- Recorded at Trod Nossel Studio for radio.
Noted on the list.At that time I was 13 years old in school.In the same town.now I'm here in the same town and live right down the street from Trod Nossel studios.and its still there.OOH what a pisser I mssed that one.

Quoted from Davids post.

There do seem to be a couple of notable concerts or other events where no ledgie (yet announced publicly) attended. These concerts include:

May 15, 1975 El Paso --- First ostensible concert given by new lineup
Sept. 23, 1975 Wallingford --- Recorded at Trod Nossel Studio for radio April 25, 1976 Oakland --- Big splashy appearance at Bill Graham's Days On The Green
Feb. 28, 1977 Berkeley --- Kickoff date of the Rumours tour & benefit for Jacques Cousteau Society
May 7, 1977 Oakland --- Headliner for Bill Graham's Day On The Green
June 29, 1977 New York --- Garden concert reviewed by Rolling Stone; Stevie "reeled like a drunken sailor"
March 20, 1980 New Zealand --- Infamous concert & radio broadcast with Lindsey drunken rampage incident
Nov. 28, 1981 Houston --- Opening night of Bella Donna tour (although John Kinney attended the following night in Dallas)
May 27, 1983 Las Vegas --- The unexplained "opening night" of the Wild Heart tour; nobody's even sure it actually took place -- no one who attended has ever stepped forward & said so
June 12, 1987 Los Angeles --- Mick Fleetwood's Zoo with guest Stevie Nicks (why didn't anybody go to this? why didn't I go to this? I don't even remember any announcement)
1988 tour in Europe --- No ledgie has ever said he or she attended any of these concerts in Europe in the spring of 1988

And so on.

I was in the audience when Stevie did The Rosie O'Donnell show in 2001. I attended the party Shery Crow had for Stevie at the Shine clube in NYC and a fellow fan told me she would be on Rosie's show the next day. So after standing in many lines and drawing many lucky lotteries, I was the LAST person seated in the studio. The swooping camera was right over me and I was on tv about ten times on that episode. BTW, Stevie was PERFECT as I am sure everyone has seen that performance.

Yeah, From what my uncles told me, he through a guitar at her and it missed her and they just all stopped and went off. lol He said they sounded crap anyway and that in his word "that song Tusk went on forever, they were ****" hahahaha

My neighbor said she thought they were great but im guessing she was as drunk as Lindsey

Im sure its in the old newspapers in the library in town, i checked it out before and got some cool ads before the concert, but i'll have to look for articles about it after the show.

I was at the show at Wembley Stadium, London on May 18 and May 19 1988 Row 14 and 12 respectively. Fantastic concerts.

And again in August 1990 at Manchester and September London.

Those were the days

I was at the show Stevie did for the anniversary of Woodstock and you can clearly see me on the (bootleg) dvd banging an imaginary tambo to 'I Need To Know' and also the 'Central Park In Blue' concert Sheryl Crow did where Stevie was a guest ... also can see me in my 'Street Angel' tshirt on that dvd... I wish I could say I wasn't old enough, but I have been to at least one (and usually more) shows for each of Stevie's solo tours* up until the Crystal Visions tour...after that, i have missed a few of these current hits tours...(*except Bella Donna, alas, didn't get to any of those shows) ... oh and there was a clip on youtube from the Nicks/Henley show in Philly and you can see the back of my head as Stevie was grasping (or was it I who was grasping? Now I seem to forget

) both of my hands....

I don't remember thinking she was a mess at all, actually. I do remember knowing why she was going backstage so often, but I thought she was fabulous. It was my first of so many tours/shows. She gave a very sweet speech at the end that made me and my girlfriends cry- about how much she loved all of us...lol. Good times.

Did you see the show on June 8? That's on tape, did you know? It's a great performance -- comparable to the Madison Square Garden performance on August 5 or the Los Angeles show on July 18.

It could be, David. I don't remember the date. How many RAL shows did she do at Jones Beach? I was a teenager back then.

wish I could get my hands on a copy of that show again. I had a cassette. Maybe someone here has some clips they could post?
Of all the RAL tour recordings I have heard, I feel this one is the wildest- and so cool too because Janet and I grew up not far from Jones Beach!

I was at the June 12, 1987 Zoo show at the Palomino. There's pics and lots of discussion in this thread:

Bruce and I were at the Houston OSOTM show when they filmed the "Whole Lotta Trouble" video, after the concert.
