I saw her on those tours too strandie, so I'll let you know after June 28th, if being "sober" is a good thing!

I've been listening to audio files of this recent tour. I can't really say I'm into it.

I didn't get into the Millennium or the Shangri-La tours, either. Tammy & Tiff want me to go to the Coors stop on the tour. That will take a lot of coercing.

I think she will never have the energy she had 20 + years ago so it is a little unfair for me to compare her to that. It for me is just that at these shows, she is playful, coy, chatty, and dancy - that is what reminds me of the WH tour, but she is most certainly not jumping off of the stage onto a speaker at the US Festival

Thank goodness she cleaned up her act.

I was front row at the Houston OSOTM show. When she walked the stage during EO17 we locked eyes for a few seconds and it was at that moment I realized "nobody was home" in Stevieville. She had a totally lost look and I was really taken aback by that. However, she did manage to re-do TKOL and re-do WLT about 4 more times in a row so that the video could be filmed.

I do not remember it being filmed. I am thinking now that maybe I saw it in Dallas but was supposed to go to Houston. In fact, I just checked as I am at my parent's house with all my old Stevie stuff and I did in fact see her in Dallas - I have no clue why I thought it was Houston - old age maybe

But, rest assured, though she was physically in it, she was indeed too far from apparently all of Texas

As for 89 tour, I think Houston, Rotterdam and Paris are all listenable. I would much rather listen to these then some TISL bootlegs.

YES TOTAL opposites. For me Stevie adlibing and sluring on the RAL tour is just awseome. Im so not saying I want her to return to doing that now, what shes doing now is perfect for her, but im so happy we have that era captured in time to live on, as it is in some ways her best ever. Incomprehendable Stevie is absolutely my favorite. RAL tour was her Janis Joplin tour.

And I'd like to add that I think her TISL tour was one of her worst tours too, possibly worse then the 89-91 tours. And I remember her getting some raves from fans on that tour too. So I hope all the talk about this current tour being a return to 94, i hope it aint all hot air. I'll see Saturday.

Hmmmm--I wonder why no one liked the TISL tour?? That was one of my all time favorites--I loved the songs that she sang--she was on fire during FFG--and I just loved seeing her with Sheryl Crow--and yes I like Sheryl Crow--okay--I can already hear everybody groan

While I also liked the Enchanted set list she definitely was not on fire--at least not for our show in Detroit.......a friend who is a casual fan was like--she looks like she is anchored to that one spot on the floor

but I did have to agree--she barely moved at all that night........ The show last night was also a favorite--maybe because it was kind of different--but she was smokin' last night!! And I got to shake her hand--so maybe I'm a little biased because of that.....and I will never forget Hotel California!! plus I'm still on a Stevie high

She sounded pretty good on the '89 and '91 Westwood One broadcasts, I thought... but on other shows on those tours... well, not as good.

Oddly enough, that's actually one of my favorite versions, too. It's kind of weird and witchy, and I really dig it.

Maybe you can answer a question I've had for years... was "Two Kinds Of Love" really filmed that night, too?
From your comment, it sounds like it was.

I had heard YEARS ago that both songs were filmed, but then never heard a single mention of that again.

Not a thing had changed a few nights later at Shoreline. I sat through these awful, awful shows in extreme agitation & disconsolation: "Where has my Stevie Nicks gone?" I asked myself ten-thousand times. "What is this blank creature -- this automaton -- in her stead?"

David,

How were you not expecting that?? I know for a fact you saw her in 89 arin Cali and on the BTM tour in 90. She moved a lot less on the kmask tour than the TS tour. I don't understand why you would be so surprised asking yourself all that.

Maybe this show was the exception rather than the rule

AGREED!
