Favorite live "Rhiannon"?

[daniellaaarisen]

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?

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!

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"

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).

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.

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.

[BellaDonna93]

My favoutite, no doubt...

[daniellaaarisen]

You guys are amazing. So far, I've changed my favorites around a little. I'm loving Nashville, Mobile and LA to add to my list with Rosebud and Midnight Special. Thank you!

I'm sorry I can't provide it, I only have it on a very old cassette, but I would recommend the Providence, RI 1977 Rhiannon. The audio quality is decent for an audience recording; not "A" quality, but not bad. But this version of Rhiannon is one of my favorites.

Does anyone have this in a format that could be posted?

I agree, this is a great Rhiannon, I wish the quality was better:

Yokohama, Japan 2/3/1980 is a favorite of mine for the energy and the smalls ways she plays with phrasing.
