Of all the live Tusk versions that will just blow you away I totally believe Lindsey(Oh yes folks I blame him) chose THAT one as the track to define Stevie and to this day I completely skip that track. The live album does have many good selections but they completely failed with Rhiannon. I truly believe that Stevie had nothing to do with the song selections on Live because at that time she had already moved forward and had begun the production of Bella Donna.
Rant over.

Really!? Wow. I couldn't disagree more lol
That version of Rhiannon, at that point in time was so similar to most of the performances early in that tour before she started dropping her vocal down. I think it's pretty spot on and rivals Rosebud.
I actually don't dislike anything about the Live album except for a few ommissions (The Chain, Sisters, GDW). However, one glaring mistake imo is rerecording most of the vocals on Sara. That, to me, is sacrilegious. I never could stand it and rarely listen to it. It's the Tusk tour doc performance but she recorded a new vocal. Shoulda kept the original. Just sayin....
