Yes. Very true.

LOL! Whenever me and my best friend would fly all over the country to go see a Stevie show, we would always bring a portable TV/DVD combo, along with the Red Rocks DVD. Every night, after seeing her perform, we'd go back to our hotel room, make a few cocktails and play the DVD and laugh our asses off and rewind and rewatch certain parts like...

Talk To Me - "Seldom hurt WAHWOOOWWW must you keep your secrets"

Dreams - "You'll know. Wah wah wah, you'll know. Yeah...ha ha ha HA AH Ha..."

No Spoken Word - "...from the pages of a gjkild%&$#hdihgodddamn f***ing BOOK!"

and of course ALL of Edge Of Seventeen, including what we dubbed the "Stevie Shuffle" at the end. You know, that long shot where she shimmy's and shuffles before running to the mic for the, "I know what it sounds like..." part.

I agree about the 'TITN' live dvd- I watched it twice, 20+ years ago, and never bought it on vhs or dvd. No Lindsey, and SN so depressingly in decline- I recall a denim coat or cape or something denim that made her look enormous, but it was the vocal overdubs that really killed it for me. I tolerate the vocal overdubs and redone close-ups on her solo Red Rocks dvd, because I still find it to have some good Stevie performances, though the concert is too short. Why the TITN dvd- without Lindsey- has remained in print for so long is a mystery to me. I think it's SN at her worst. Michelej1 this week wrote 'tastes change'- The dvd is so reasonable, it might be interesting to buy it and see if there's something in it I like, decades later. I wonder if the live 'Seven Wonders' will still sound like a bloodless dirge to me. I loved the drano vocals on the TITN album.
Poor SN. So many great performances that should have been official dvds and are not.
I do love most of her most recent 'Soundstage' dvd very much. She did a good job.
I confess I find her scarf dance on 'How Still' embarrassing and so silly. I mean, she isn't remotely dancing and has this big ole hankerchief spinning through the air like she's dusting an invisible wardrobe hutch. I keep expecting to see some Lemon Pledge squirted in the air. Maybe a glass of wine would help me appreciate it. I think most people like it.

Ha. Yes, I like it. I find it kind of sexy. But I know how you feel. Most people liked her BATB garb and it positively horrified me when I first saw it at Caesar's Palace. I was sure she was doing some SNL skit.

Now THIS is why Red Rocks is so rad. Because Stevie is f*cking hilarious.

Thank you!
I don't like Red Rocks or Tango Live (Stevie in baseball caps

).
If you want to see Fleetwood Mac/Stevie on DVD I recommend purchasing Mirage Live.

I have both of these concerts downloaded and also Mirage and SYW but i've never really sat down and watched them other then maybe The Dance one. What was the deal with the overdubbing, and reshooting? What is overdubbing anyway?

I think there are some really amazing moments in Red Rocks; pretty much all of BATB and most of Edge of 17. I would love to have seen the original product, but I'm certain it doesn't even exist anymore.

I loved the outrageous hair and diva effect in photos like this. I wish she would still portray herself on albums and tour merchandise this way. Did this photo ever make it onto tee shirts and such? Love it!!!

I never realized that. For years I thought that was just some gibberish, of which there were a lot in that video, and all I could make out was the "with you" at the end. Thank you for clearing that 20 year old little mystery in my brain up.

Overdubbing is where you go in to the studio and 'enhance' the performance. This can be done by re-doing/fixing the vocals (which was heavily done for the Red Rocks DVD) and adding supplemental instrumentation.

I wonder if there are tapes filled with backstage footage from the 1981-1986 period. I bet some crazy stuff went on behind the scenes.
