Stevie toured in 1994. Fleetwood Mac(without Stevie) toured in 1995, not'94.

Fleetwood toured extensively in 94, too!!

Stevie's tour in '94 was the same year her album was released, so that doesn't count.

the 59th show on the Tusk Tour
March 20, 1980
Wellington, New Zealand
Venue: Athletic Park

I believe this was the place Mick wrote about in his book where Lindsey was kicking at Stevie while she was performing Rhiannon and purposely screwed up several of his guitar parts throughout the whole show all the while being broadcast live on the radio for the rest of the people not attending the show.
And of course the tapes from this show have never surfaced.
Backstage Lindsey was scolded by Christine. This is the "fly on the wall" performance.

According to CAH's book (as I recall), it was in Australia after they flew from one location to the next stop (both in Australia). Lindsey had come across her "girlfriend tapes" (using his new, "high-tech" Sony Walkman) during the flight between Australian cities (Brisbane and Sidney perhaps?). He flew into a rage, at the hotel room she cried -- "wondering what she had done" -- she vomited, cried some more, he said something to the effect of "don't you dare try to make me feel sorry for you!", he put her on a plane back to LA. A few days later she got a call from Sara in NZ who told her of the debacle where he kicked Stevie on stage.

The End.

My gawd. He must have been having some kind of neurotic breakdown. Not making excuses for this behavior- how could anyone? But geez...I honestly need to read this CAH book more thoroughly because I completely forgot that incident.

On a lighter note, that dress is GORGEOUS. I adore the way she dressed during the "Tusk" tour days. Beautiful stuff.

Please explain this reference...does it have a special meaning? Is this in regards to Christine slapping him, throwing a drink in his face, and saying "You never treat an audience like that..."

Yes it is... and wouldn't you like to have been that "fly on the wall?"
