That reminds me of the Steve Pond review of the Hollywood Bowl Sept. 1, 1980, show. He referred to the "powder-keg detonation of
Go Your Own Way" ... the "awesome momentum of
The Chain and
Tusk" ... the "oppressive brilliance of a slow
I'm So Afraid" ... the "deft keyboard touches that illuminate
Over & Over."
And then he says that Stevie's "dying swan poses & Fairie Queene pretensions" are "still essentially decorative."
