Greendaze5, thanks for that link- I’ve never seen that Solid Gold performance before. It’s kind of rare to see a live performance on SG. What really caught my eye was that guitar or bass player behind Stevie- such a babyface and he was really moving along to the music LOL. I couldn’t tell if he was joking around or really just having a good time, but I’d like to think he was sincerely enjoying himself. It looked like Waddy was laughing at him at one point. And Brad was looking good as usual! Fun performance.

The bass player is Bob Glaub, who can also be seen on Stevie's 'Bella Donna' tour. |

It was nice of this crew to show up to do cheese, with no actual playing: Waddy, Bobbye Hall, Russ Kunkel, Billy Payne, and Bob Glaub. I guess Benmont, Professor Roy, and Wizard just could not face the cheese.

Stevie also performed Nightbird Live on Solid Gold in early February 1984 (not 1983 as this video says). I remember watching both performances in real time. Ok here is a funny story about the Stand Back performance which was late 1984. They called it a "classic" and it was not to promote the song like Nightbird. It was Saturday and we lived near one of the largest shopping malls in the country and you could hang out all Saturday at the mall as a teen. I knew Stevie was on Solid Gold that night and wanted so much to stay home to watch it. I was in my peak cult worship days. But my friend's dad was going to the mall that Saturday night and taking all my friends. What was I going to do? Stay home and watch Stevie or miss out on the Saturday night mall experience. Then I had an idea. The mall has many stores that sell TVs. I could go to one of those stores and watch it there. Sure enough I found a way to sneak away from my "metal head" friends and go to Sears and turn on all the TVs in the electronic section to watch Stevie. I had the best of both worlds Back to Brad.........he really has so many stories to tell with so many stars. My favorite was being at Stevie's house watching the Stand Back video music premier on MTV on a sofa between Prince and Stevie. OMG When I see that Solid Gold performance it brings me back standing there at Sears watching it on TV. Have you seen the Solid Gold Nightbird? Nightbird hit its chart peak in early 1984 at #32 just as Got A Hold On Me was breaking on the charts. For one week, they were back to back...Nightbird at 32 and Got A Hold On Me at 31. This Nightbird performance was recorded just weeks after the late December 1983 SNL performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb2ty18YFBQ

Very clever how you were able to watch Stevie AND still go out that night to the mall. Try telling that story to a kid now LOL (“what’s Sears? What’s a mall? What’s Solid Gold?”) |
