This is my favorite "Landslide" from the last sixteen years.

That sounds really nice. Her voice doesn't sound tired or forced, the way I always expect it to sound during those later concerts done during the Klonopin years. Thanks for sharing!

Now if only we could do something about that outfit and hair...

I've always thought it was cool and interesting that this is your favorite "latter day" version, but it's not a favorite of mine. Her voice sounds good, but I'm not crazy about her delivery here.

I think some other people have told me they don't like it, either. To my ears, the vocal embodies a musical quality from about 1600 to about 1925, to which my ears are attuned. There's a full-bodied quality to Stevie's delivery now that I can't comfortably grasp because it elicits an unpleasant physical sensation in my own upper chest & throat when I hear it.

That's the reason why I like "It's Only Love" the best on that album.

I prefer the one that a fan filmed (i think) and Lindsey came out to perform it with her. That is my favourite latter day performace

Ew, seriously? I know the one you mean... LB and his pink shirt, right?
I didn't like that one. Stevie sounded so emotionless.

By the way, David -- where was the audio for this track pulled from? It sounds too good to simply be lifted from a VHS or DVD copy of 'Rock Steady.'
