That's a good point! I really don't like the song Free Falling, so I probably had low expectations of hearing it live. I guess it wasn't just that she hit some high notes, as much as it was an emotionally charged performance, maybe? I don't know, her vocals were incredible on Free Falling. I think I've heard Gold Dust Woman, Dreams, and Rhiannon so much that even a stellar performance kind of leaves me non-plussed. However, she did well on those songs, too. GDW really seemed to blow the audience away. I think it's fair to say Stevie felt more inspired by the newer stuff, but she still sounded incredible on the standards, too.
