Two memorable things happened for me that night:

1. Stevie borrowed a pen from me to sign autographs
2. I met J.D. Souther, which led to Stevie and I having something in common.......

That night definitely changed my life!

Man,. those Eagles...they did well!! Although he'd left the Eagles by this time hadn't he? I sense a story here...hehe

Oh my! J.D. was quite the ladies man back in the day I hear. LOL.[/QUOTE

He wasn't an official Eagle, but he was at the show with Henley! I actually interrupted their conversation to meet him - he was surprised I knew who he was.
He's been touring this year for the 1st time in 20 years - still as smooth as ever - remembered my name as well as other details, and it's been over 20 years......

Idk how anyone could perform after almost o.d-ing. But I guess alot of singers have done it!

I missed this tour. The main thing I remember is that, at least in Philadelphia leading up to that show, one of the radio stations - had to be YSP or MMR - seemed to be running non-stop promotions and chances to win tickets to see "Lady Lace". Every time I turned on the radio I heard someone calling her "Lady Lace". I don't remember hearing that epithet used on any of the promotions for later tours.

I always get this show confused the the Wild Heart show for some reason...... but anyways I was a young stupid teenager and got very trashed at this show and don't remember it!! LOL!! I just remember her bringing some chick on stage to dance with her to I think it was Stand Back???

Glittermoondust · #52 10-04-2009, 08:23 PM

I didn't go to this show but I found it in my clippings...... this is from the Houston show

I really like the article you posted! Especially the part about dancing like a belly dancer, i'd like to have seen that! Also is that the time that is referenced where she fell offstage? or is it just talking about she was so high she fell offstage?

I saw Stevie for the first time at the Worcester Centrum. It was awesome. She messed up Beauty And The Beast in the very beginning and said, I think we should start this over...then she screamed something. She then did the song perfect.

She did I Cant Wait...but it was being played with a mix of a recorded track...so it was hard for her to stray with a break or a lyric...I know it must be hard.

Great Woods...second leg, shed tour...She was awesome...her performance was outstanding...she wore short boots with a fancy ribbon tied to one boot...and a muli colored/shimmering lame' sp shortish skirt...

I think the 1st show...the audio was bad as well known for that arena...

2nd show...much better

I never saw her almost fall...or being all fuc*ed out acting...

just rock n roll

I saw her twice on the RAL tour- In Biloxi, MS & Jackson, MS. The Jackson show was the night before Halloween and many people were in costumes. During the show a guy in cape with a gruesome mask on rushed the stage and security dragged him away. Stevie immediately ran to the side of the stage to speak to someone. A few songs later she brought the guy in the mask up on stage next to the mike with her and told the story of Beauty & the Beast as a lead-in to the song. The crowd loved it! And she mentioned several times during the show how Halloween was her favorite night of the year. She gave an awesome show that night!

My first Stevie show - and one of my first concerts ever - was also during the Rock a Little tour at the Worcester Centrum - both shows - and then the show at Great Woods, which wasn't the best experience since I had lawn seats, which was more of a mudslide since it was damp and raining on and off all night. I just loved it when she turned her back to the audience and snap her hair back 'n forth - very headbangerish - during "I Can't Wait."

Why couldn't my mom have taken me to this show instead of Whitney Houston in Dallas, 86'?

My dad took me to Chicago to see her since she wasn't coming to St. Louis...it was one of the last things my dad did for me before he died (later on that year). I remember the show was fantastic...I was very close to the stage...I loved "I Can't Waite"...it was my fav song at the time (and still one of her best singles)....I was only 12 so i didn't really pay attention to all the craziness...I just remember the concert being brilliant and Stevie rocked the whole night. I don't believe she did Sara and Gold Dust Woman..certainly no gypsy. Rhiannon also wasn't done but How Still My Love was in it's place.

There's a boot of this show on The Ledge here somewhere. I was so upset they didn't have I Can't Wait on Red Rocks but when I heard that recording I thought, oooh yeah. I see now. LOL!
