What happened during the making of TITN?

Stop, drop and roll, Stevie!!!

... problems with fire... now her walls are flaming... what will happen next.



Song of the moment - Fire Burning

[strandinthewind]

There was no fire burning - it was just a soul crying

The thing that's always puzzled me about "Rooms on Fire" is, why doesn't she just get the hell out of that room?

She took too much Klonopin and can't move her feet.

Sounds like a medical problem to moi.

The poor thing just can't escape those hot-flashes no matter which room she's in!

Why on Earth did they drop 'Rhiannon' from the setlist? I remember that in Mick's book he talked about how Stevie refused to let them play 'Rhiannon' in concert anymore.

Just weird...

(FYI, I am on hold calling the White House as I type this, I called the WH comment line to let the President know that a Constitutional Amendment to ban gay marriage would be the fist time an amendment was used to discriminate against an American citizen.)

LOL! " Stop drop and roll Stevie" That's funny.

Anyway, the topic was the TITN and I really think Lindsey bailed without giving too much thought.

Who makes an entire album, then the videos and then let's them get the tour started and then just says, sinara! I think he just freaked out for some reason, maybe a reason we will never trully know.

I was all of 10 when that happened and 1987 there was too much going on that I had absolutely NO idea this was happening or a tour. This just went over my head and I have no recollection of it at all.

Thank GOD The Dance happened! ( no underline or quotes hahahahahaha! REBEL!)

I hate when people knock RAL. It like is a burning spear driving into my heart. I adore this album so much. I can listen to RAL and OSOTM so much easier than her first two albums, I don't know why...not saying they are critically better, but the latter two are just easier to sink in to? Maybe?

I love hearing about shows that I was too young to see. Stevie always said during the RAL show that she had to get OFF coke and only would do a very little. I guess it would be alcohol making her act "different". And she was bloated.

As for the WH tour, you just watch her tv appearances and it always seems her eyes will just fall out of her head they are spinning so much. But I love that..that excitement and energy. I just pretend she drank a few Red Bulls

Maybe it had to do with her voice. I know that during that time, her voice was changing GREATLY during the RAL/Tango period; maybe it was too much of a strain to sing it every night. Don't forget that she didn't do it on the OSOTM tour, too.

As for the White House comment line, I have that sucker on speed dial. I'm surprised the Gestapo, er, Secret Service hasn't knocked on my door to escort me to Gitmo after some of the calls I've made.

I remember she sang the first two lines of it a capella at the Houston show.

This is enlightening; I'd always assumed Stevie sang "Rhiannon" for every tour with or without Fleetwood Mac. If it's not all that sacred, why are they still playing it, I wonder?

I agree that it was unprofessional and downright lame of Lindsey to bail on the tour when it had been booked. All of this "survival move" stuff - I think he would still have survived if he had waited until AFTER the tour to leave Fleetwood Mac. Unless he was afraid of actually having to deal with Stevie for more than a couple weeks, lol.

I don't like OSOTM and RAL very much. On RAL, "Talk to Me" is great, and holds a soft spot in my heart as my intro to Stevie Nicks (although my obssession came much later, lol). The rest go from moderate ("I Sing for the Things", "I Can't Wait", "Has Anyone Ever Written...", "Rock a Little", "No Spoken Word") to tolerable ("Some Become Strangers", "If I Were You") to wretched ("The Nightmare", "Imperial Hotel", "Sister Honey"). Sorry Johnny!

OSOTM is a little worse, I would say. I love "Ooh My Love"; as for "Rooms On Fire", "Two Kinds of Love", "Whole Lotta Troube" and "I Still Miss Someone" - they're OK. The rest go from bad to worse.

I don't think Street Angel is much worse, despite what Stevie says.

But TISL... aaah. MUCH better!

I would've pitched a fit if I was in the audience.

She was wasted out of her head. She sang it and then said something like "She's not here tonight?"

They edited it out of the radio broadcast, though. Surprisingly, she also did the same schtick at the San Jose show. She must've enjoyed torturing the audience. I also loved the fake tears/crying bit that she did at every show during HAEWAFY when she talked about Woodstock. It got downright laughable.
