Live "trinkets"

What are some things you love that Stevie has added to live performances of songs (I know there are a lot)?

If Anyone Falls on TimeSpace Tour:
The second time she sings the first verse, "...closes the door from behind / And then another voice comes throught the door / Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!"

Everywhere on Tango Tour:
"I wanna be with you!" in the chorus.

Edge Of Seventeen every tour since '86:
"I know what it sounds like when doves cry". Obviously a reference to the Prince song, which was still relatively new when she started saying it, and I love that she has continued to say it through the years. And it has led to a lot of awesome screaming of "I know what it sounds like!" at the end of the song.

Hooray - I get to tell it again

At the end of the singing part of SOTOM, an obviously hyped up if not coked out of her head La Nicks gives a physically shaking exorcism while belting out

"IIIIIIIIIIIWWWWWWOOOOOOONNNNNNN""TTTTTBBBBBEEEEYYYYYYYYOOUUURRRRRSSSSSIIIISSSSTTTTERRRRRNNNNNOOOOTTTTYYYYOOUUURRRRSSSIIIISSSSTTTTAAAD FJDOFHPOIDHGLNDGPOUIH:GNIOHGODJ{ISDHGO"IDHGIOHDG . . . BBBLLLLLAAAAHHHHHEEEEEHHHHHG:OIFDHG{SHG"OISHDGIOJSGOPIJG}OPIJFDPIOGJ{IPSDGIOSDHGIOHDSG "

She then spins to the side while listing and gives a final panty revealing spin. I LOVE her!!!!

Panties or just panty hose? I was thinking the latter, and there is a difference.

I love all the additions mentioned. I also like how she changes "Stand Back" to "Well, he asked me for my love - he said 'TAKE ME!'" Poor guy is desperate for her.

I thought it was bloomerlike panties with hose. Not that I have oogled it or anything like that LOL

At one of the RAL shows (I believe Alpine Valley), she was so coked out of her gourd that during Edge of Seventeen (or maybe it was Rhiannon, I'll have to dig out my boot), she started singing "I Heard It Through the Grapevine."

The best wail in Edge of 17 was at the Atlanta show (June 24) on the Enchanted tour. It sent chills up my spine. La Nicks put everything she had into it.

During HAEWAFY at the Mirror show in Bristol, CT, she introduces the song by saying "I wrote this about some guy and...well..he doesn't really matter, so it's for you."

I'll think of some more great ones soon.

I was standing about ten feet from her and it is burned into my head. It was so severe that people actually pulled their heads back as if to avoid the blow - like you do when the wind suddenly whips up. What a night!! She also shook my hand and then I picked up some child and put them close to her so she could talk to them during the EO17 walk around. The experience was beyond words and I was humbled and speechless (yes me) by it.

She wailed like she was having a heart attack, I would've been concerned for her safety.

I have the video, but it's from very far away, so you can't see her face too well. But the CD sounds fantastic. I wish there were a soundboard recording, though!

It's great that you were right there and got to shake her hand.

I'm surprised no one mentioned this already... at the end of I Need To Know-

"Take your VIOLET and BLUUUUE MORNINGS WIIIIITH YOOOOU!!"

God, I love that

In the Cloaks & Daggers (Poplar Creek, IL 06-21-86) show, before HAEWAFY (I *think*), she sings part of WISYA. Which I thought was insteresting.

Also? "If you don't tell her.. tell her now!"? Rocks my socks. I love Red Rocks-BATB so much it's insane.

I LOVE:

OTR (several versions):
"Now can you tell me that there's anyone in this wholewideworldthancaneverreplaceme......I DON'T THINK SO!"

Rhiannon (Mirage In Concert Video):
"I don't change, and you don't change baby, and it's all the same, Rhiannon!"

GDW (AHI benefit comes to mind, can't remember if it's 2000 or 2001):
"Pick up the pieces and go home...PICK IT UP!...and go home...PICK IT UP!...and go HOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMEEE!"
and at the end:
"someone said something about it...someone said something about...gold dust"

I looooove 'How Still My Love' on the RAL tour. Any version. That's probably my all-time favorite live song.

Sorcerer386 · #12 04-26-2004, 10:35 PM

Some are slipping my mind, but one that comes immediately to me is the new line in Rhiannon before the second chorus when she yells, "WEEEELL, I don't think you do!"

Stand Back 1998 "TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME OF YOUR LIFE!"

Isn't It Midnight Tango video, "Weeeeeeeeeeeell, isn't it midnight" and World Turning "OW OW OW OW Everybody, everybody's got me down, OW OW OW Everybody, everybody's got me down!"

All the belting at the end of each chorus of SDMHA on the In Concert show.

And, at Radio City Music Hall in 1998 during Whole Lotta Trouble, at the end she just begins wailing words that I cannot for the life of me figure out what she's saying, but at the end she goes, "I told you so! I think I told you so! *something something* So proud!"

I *think* this originated on the Enchanted tour and might have stuck around for TISL...not sure....

But I love in Edge of Seventeen, after the long instrumental jam when she goes and shakes hands, she comes back in with "deep in the middle of the night, do you know what it sounds like when doves cry...He says 'I know what it sounds like...it sounds like you...'"

MACFAN · #14 04-27-2004, 10:19 PM

Hollywood Bowl (1980) the last lines in Rhiannon.............

"Is that what you want from me......IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT"

EnchantedStorms · #15 04-28-2004, 12:34 AM

From the OSOTM tour...Two Kinds Of Love, right after she sings, "Who in the world do you think that you are fooling?" she goes, "Me?" and then sorta smirks each time.

Also, on that same video, during Stand Back, she goes, "It's alright, it's alright. It's NOT alright!"
