Favorite live "Rhiannon"?
 

I'm a "Rhiannon" fiend and I really want to make sure I have the best versions possible. I'm not quite to the point of collecting every live show in its entirety (although I'm getting there, I can promise you), but I want the best of the best full shows and all the good "Rhiannon"s ever recorded.

My three favorites as of now are Rosebud (obviously), St. Louis 1980 and Mobile 1980. Recommendations?

the live in nashville is my favorite. i think its from the rumours tour

Much can't top the Rosebud performance. That's probably the best video of "Rhiannon" out there -- anywho, here's a couple more to add to your collection:

May 21, 1977 - Nashville, TN
Please don't be frightened by the amazingly awesome quality of this one!! :)
Stevie's got killer vocals and Lindsey's guitar ain't too shabby either.

August 31, 1983 - Austin, TX - solo Stevie
You gotta have a solo Stevie "Rhiannon" and this one, clocking in at almost 11 minutes, is pretty awesome! I love Stevie's random chatter at the end! :lol:

Back in those early days, I swear Stevie sung "Rhiannon" different every night. I looooooove collecting live "Rhiannon"s!! I've got a lot, but those two are pretty awesome.

Oh heck, you've got to have the one from the 1981 HBO concert:

I love the RAL Rhiannons. They had my favorite intro with the flute and piano. Also loved the lyrics. She would still sing normal lines but her voice was just beautiful. "And he says nooo Rhiannon" "Pleeeeease don't go, Rhiannon. Rhiaaaaaaaanooon"

Detroit 9.19.82
Los Angeles 10.02.83

I think the best Rhiannons are from 1975-6 tour. She was clean (no cocaine or klonopin) and full of energy. Then I really like performances of Rhiannon in Behind The Mask or Timespace tour (her voice then fit that song) and Dance tour (especially performance from the DVD "The Dance" is awesome).

Are these in circulation, David, or are you just teasing us with shows you've attended that aren't available?

Oh, no, they're both around. I didn't even attend the Joe Louis Arena show. The tape is all I know of it.

Oh, don't bet on it. No klonopin, but, there were constant snowstorms backstage...and the "Happy Herb" & alcohol were in abundance. So, "clean"??...not on your life!


For me, The August 1977 "Rhiannon"s during their three night stay at the GW Forum were the best I've ever heard.

That you can say something like that completely seriously is why we need you around here :woohoo:

Don't forget the Midnight Special! That along with Rosebud are my favorites.

I have the Midnight Special video on my computer but I don't have the MP3. Anyone wanna help me with that? :)

Also, I have ZERO "Rhiannon"s recorded between 1983 and 1997 and the only live performances I have of it from '97 on are The Dance, 1 SYW show and 2 Unleashed shows. I gotta fill the gap! Again, help?

Thank you guys so much for this.

I've got good MP3 of "Rhiannon" from the Midnight Special -- give me a few minutes to download!

Got some more for you, girlfran!

I did this in a hurry so let me know if I accidentally duplicated links or anything. Enjoy!

I'm a little fervid about my Rhiannon collecting, but this one escaped me until now! Thank you so much :)
