that's actually the most severe cases of her fumbling thr0ugh lyrics i've heard yet from this tour. is she like this the rest of the show? sounds like she's a bit more spaced out in this show. not in an "up" kinda way.

I love a good lyric fumble, myself. Or starting verse 1 with verse 2, and other complications. It keeps the show more interesting.

Exactly. And if worse came to worse (and it did a lot on this tour) and she couldn't remember any words, a good wail usually made a great substitute.

^^ Exactly, it worked every time. It seemed like people ate that sh!t up. I know I did.

Ditto. Those were truly moments I lived for.

She would toss some "wells", "whoahs", "she/he said" and "babys" into that salad too, if she were lacking for a real lyric.

I would rather hear a whole concert of that raggy stuff, than to hear her sing 'Circle Dance' once in her 21st century voice.

Because that, my friends, was rock and roll.

I'm gonna go with the wail from the 1981 Bella Donna HBO show

HELL YES!!!!!!!!
i love when she messes up
like on Docklands...yes i know not popular
but even she knows she messed up and it sounds like she's laughing about it

i love the comment about the wail, well and baby La Nicks salad...one day she's gonna sing a whole song titled Well Baby...and that's the lyrics interspersed with wails

You know Rhiannon from the Garden Show had some pretty wild wailing at the end too. I don't think I ever heard a crowd clap that loud in unison since then either.

Absofrigginlutely.

Oh how I wish I could travel back to that era and use today's tech to record those shows. It would be alot easier (and better quality) with a digi-cam instead of toting around a camcorder the size and weight of a Craftsman toolbox.

Yeah the Garden Rhiannon is definitely a wailapalooza. She was really shredding her vocal chords on that one.

Squat and wail.

thinking the same thing. am wondering how people that got in with a video camera back then were able to do that. i struggled just getting my little film camera in (with flash bulb strips too). if i had a recordable walkman in 1986 i would've smuggled that in to both Alpine Valley and Chicago shows.

i could've sworn back then that someone video taped either of those above shows as i recall looking over at the audience and seeing someone with a camera (duh). but I've never seen anything surface. have the audios but no video.
