Once again RTL was the last time you will ever see three Supremes on stage - and they may not have been the three everyone wanted to see for the last time but those ladies were damn good together. Not to take away from Mary and Cindy who were not there but, at the same time not to condemn Scherrie and Lynda. I loved it, I lived it and I was fine with it.
Really and truly wish they would have done a live album of the concert.
They serve dinner during the show? All dinner shows that I have attended the dinner was served before the performance! In fact the dinner shows at Caesers back in the 80s. Everybody was warned to finish eating because tables had to be cleared of dishes and food before the show started.
I recently saw Rhonda Ross in concert in NYC. They served food and drink before AND during the performance. Diana's anger got the better of her, and she came off looking foolish.
169 posts and 40 of them are from her number 1 obsesser who posted the following. LOLOLOLOLOLOL. Somebody has Diane on they mind 24./7

I don't even go into most Diana Ross threads on here."
Kind of sad when you think about it. Of course my opinion is to never say never. I didn't get a chance to check out RTL in person but I'm glad so many of the fans who did go enjoyed the show. It may be accurate to say you'll never see Diana, Lynda and Scherrie as the Supremes together again, so it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. In any case it's a concert so I never understood why, with all the things to be upset about in this life, why some fans are still so butt hurt about the details of a 17 year old concert. Lol It takes all kinds, I guess.
I would normally be on the fence about this. As a true fan I would dig it, but on the other hand understand that releasing an album of a cancelled, controversial tour would have been a potentially bad financial move. But recently finding out that "Forever Came Today" and "Nothing But Heartaches" were in the repertoire during the tour is what pushes me over to the agreement side because I would love to have Ross singing these along with the others. If only she had added "A Breath Taking Guy". She often mentions it and sings the chorus so I'm surprised that she never put it in her live act post Supremes.
Lots of interesting idle chatter and gossip about who you like and who you don't.
In the end, Diana got the big prize - the successful children; and the hits and the Oscar Nomination, the Grammy Life Time Achievement Award, Barack's Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Tony, the Soul Train Music Lifetime Achievement Award, Central Park, the money, the sales.
Mary got to bitch and whine and then she got tired of that and tried to play nice. No hits, no sales, no reunion, retirement and trailer park venues, idle chatter that she tries to shut down and then someone posted a rather unflattering picture of a rather heavy child.
Oh, woe is her.
I've made 110 posts over the last few weeks and you mean to tell me that I contradict myself in all of them?? Goodness gracious!! What am I doing with my life? Well, I'll tell you what, how about you give me an example of what you're talking about. Maybe you're unclear and I'm the only one who can straighten things out for ya. Sometimes we comprehend what we read on the internet erroneously. I hope it's that. I hate to think of myself as the type of person who makes contradictory statements. I don't think I could live with myself.
I wouldn't say it's fair [[nor accurate) to go after Mary like that because some folks have fun going after Diana. Diana has had a ton of achievements in her life, not the least of which is her children, whom she seems to be devoted to. You don't have to kick Mary down to lift Diana up. Diana does that all on her own. These two women have accomplished more together and apart than most, if not all, of the people posting in this thread [[not including myself, of course! HA!!). They are the Supremes. Let's keep that in mind folks.
Is that Mary laughing at the end? I never knew which Supreme it was. Glad I could turn you onto something new Tom! They really kicked ass with that. Yes, it's my understanding that there are a couple of Stevie cuts left in the vaults. How many I don't know. Perhaps someone in the group can enlighten us. I believe "Soft Days" is supposed to be one. I have a bootleg of it but it doesn't sound like a Stevie production to me. Perhaps when it's given a professional mix the Stevieness of it might shine through better.
How does she sound singing "Bad Weather" Marv? My first thought is that it would be a Supremes cut she shouldn't be doing, but I wonder if that's because I'm processing the sounds of the original cut and Mary's voice at the time as opposed to what it would sound like today with a band tailoring it to Mary's voice. The more I think about it I can imagine her really jamming with it today.
To say we will never see three Supremes together on stage again might not be accurate only last year Susaye joined Lynda Sherrie and Joyce on stage to sing gonna let my heart do the walking who is to say susaye may repeat that performance
Look Forward to what we have, Diana , Mary and the FLOS still performing live and Keeping the Supremes Legacy alive .
Take 5, gather your thoughts, take a stance and stick with it
Ok?
[QUOTE=marv2;379696]It was the stewardess[[that's what they called them back in the day LOL!), because she was trying to keep Diane from bringing that barking dog on board. It was Joe Shaffner that had to pay the airlines off to keep Motown from being sued and Diane being arrested! That's how I understood it.[/QUOTE ]
The perfect Saturday Night Live Skit.
I felt bad for that poor dog on the box. Cruel. And didn't Miss Ross completely lose it in England once screaming and kicking over a sound speaker. I believe one review said it was the shoddiest display of unprofessionalism he ever saw!
ollie9 are you out there? send me a PM

Hi Marv. I Remember this event being reported in the Detroit Feee Press in Jan 73 or 74. I Wish I had my subscription to newspapers.com to look this up.
[QUOTE=detmotownguy;379848] I just want to make sure I understand ----are you guys referring to something that supposedly happen in 1966 ? Something that was in Randy T. book ? Which would have been right around the time Diana was 22 or 23 ? If so I can tell you some stories of some 23 year olds that are a lot better than this.
i think there is another version of SOFT DAYS with Mary singing lead, and Ill Wait A Lifetime. only a few songs were recorded. the album was cancelled after BW flopped.
LOL Isn't that interesting? I get bringing up stuff within the last few years but bringing up stuff from when someone was in their 20s and they're now in their 70s?? LMAO I'll be 40 in a couple years and God help the person who brings up anything I did when I was 15 or 25, unless it's so we can all have a good laugh. As Mary Wilson would say, "Time to move on".
For those interested, here is a clip of Donna rehearsing with Diana and Mariah. Watch for it at about 1:15.
