Mirage, a black ribbon around her neck means Mirage unless her hair's more curly in that case it's Wild Heart.
But I agree, the pic is gorgeous.

Great '82 shot! Heading back to the mic after the turnaround in RHIANNON. Donning all white, like those other shots you've seen of the all-white GYOW jacket. Wonder which stop on the tour it was . . . ?

Detroit?
Minneapolis?
Florida outdoor festival?

You would have to have read Carol Harris's book to understand the "girlfriend tape" reference. My memory isn't as good as it once was, and I read the book last summer. Maybe another Ledgie can correct me if I stray from the plot...

AT some point Carol Ann became good friends with Mick's future wife (Sara Recor - who was also Stevie's best friend.)

Anyhow, for the hell of it, they got out a cassette tape recorder and would record their conversations...about some stuff....girl talk stuff. I don't recall exactly what was said, but Lindsey was looking for a blank tape, so he grabbed one out of Carol's bag. He put the ear phones on, and then became enraged and took it out on her. She didn't know why. She listened to the tape and it was one of her "girlfriend" tapes...but I *think* she made a comment about John Courage being good looking or something -- therefore the conversation threw Lindsey into a rage....and I can't remember if he hit her or grabbed her by the hair...there were so many references which blended together.

In another thread, there were photos posted of the TUSK tour (?) in Japan...one shows Lindsey (back in the day) using a Sony Discman/Walkman because it was the *new* technology.

If anyone wants to come in and correct me ~ please feel free to do so. If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me.

These remind me of the video of Richard Dashut's going away party, when everyone gets whacked with cake & whipped cream...especially Dashut who has to find his *present* buried in the cake. Stevie throws the cake on herself instead of Richard.

Does anyone know who the girl in the striped halter is? She looks alot like someone I used to know back then (though I know it's not the same person).

I have it on VHS and I think, Stevie is wearing different clothes, so it may not be the same event. I will have to watch it again.

When I get it converted to DVD, I will let you know and get you a copy of it.

I'm not sure about the other members of Fleetwood Mac but in April 1980 Stevie did not lay around for a month resting. Instead she hung out with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers in a recording studio. I present you now with some of those results:

Gypsy--4-3-80--take #6--Good Vocals

Outside The Rain--4-4-80--session #2--New lyrics in latter half of song to enjoy--

Sanctuary--4-4-80--the signature Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers sound--nice vocals near the end when she sings Just How Far several times--

Starshine Silver--4-4-80--session #2--At the end Stevie is excited when she sees Debbie dancing--Stevie is whispering to someone at the end; in one of those hushed tones she says,"you're not daddy."--

Since I like pretending this thread is in real time just try to imagine if this really was April 13, 1980. Then these songs were recorded about two weeks ago! Imagine(I know you can).

I can totally get the feel for April 1980!!! If ony . . . Thanks, Viv!

Dear vivfox & David--- I was thrilled beyond words to attend the Uni-Dome show on Dec.1,1979. I live in Cedar Falls' sister city, Waterloo. A fantastic show, even with Stevie's throat problems. Did she have surgery on it in 1980? I understand the fans' sensitivity regarding who performs "Songbird" (Sheryl?). Christine's first class performance at the Dome was the perfect closer to a magic night. Thanks for bringing back some great memories! Sincerely, Madelow.
