(5,611 posts)her stage presence blew me away. It was one of the best live performances Ive ever seen.
The strobe lights during the bass sticatto (sp?) was a visual affect from that show that always remains with me.
Yes, most likely the same tour. Promoting the "No Need To Argue" IIRC.

(5,611 posts)Her voice was outstanding and incredibly strong, with no digital enhancements thank god (Im a classical singer, and theres nothing I hate more that todays pop singers who cant sing with any semblance of technique, dont seem to hear that they are either constantly flat or sharp, and have their voices severely molded by digital effects, which makes many of them sound the same)
The band was truly awesome live, and she owned the stage with her voice and movements (she would do a cool sort of march when the songs built to their full emotional effect). This is very sad news. I know she suffered from very severe depression for many years (I believe Zombie was in part inspired by this), and I hope she was getting help and doing okay in her life and with the many people who loved her.

Ran across this great little tiny desk concert a few months back, so wonderful...
RIP, Dolores
I couldn't finish the video. Tearing up. "Tomorrow may be too late." Really makes you think. Thank you for the video. Will finish later if i can keep it together. So sad.
