Silver Springs
I'm sorry if something like this has been posted several times before but this just came up on shuffle and I really started thinking about how amazing this song is. I think, objectively, this is probably Stevie's greatest creation. Because not only is it an incredible song, it's an EFFECTIVE song. In my opinion, this song, especially the end of it, accomplishes the same type of "thing" that Eric Clapton accomplished with Layla. It's hard to put it into words, but it just has this power and quality to it that doesn't happen too often.
And I know people mostly talk about the version from the Dance which is epic, no doubt about it. But I don't think anything compares to the original vocal. The little growl in her voice when she goes "from the SOUND" at the end. |

My favorite Stevie/FM song. I first heard and fell in love with the version on The Dance when I was in college...later heard the version that on Crystal Visions and love that too. Wonderful song.

The Dance version is so spot on. They actually don't have to act in that version because I can see Stevie feeling it. Also, Christine's piano, harmony and Lindsey's guitar give the song magic.

You are correct. Those wembley shows in 1980 were incredible. The Chain? OMG! On FIIIIREEEEE! The Tucson version of Sara is incredible as well. Lindsey and Christine's playing during the last minute is absolutely incredible.

The Don't Stop from that disk is oddly great as well. Love it when Lindsey yells "Christine!" and she starts jamming on her piano. Great stuff.

Silver Springs is probably Stevie's greatest creation? You've heard Sara and Gypsy, right? The Dance version of Silver Springs is really good, but the backup singers ruined the chorus, way too many voices singing in that performance. Last edited by Wdm6789; 05-03-2017 at 05:31 AM.. |

Silver Springs is one of my favourite tunes both by Stevie and FM; my favourite version is this one with the epic long coda that gradually builds up, it's the closest we have to the almost 7 minutes one Stevie said was initially envisioned. In my opinion in this form it's one of the best power ballads ever written.

Haunting! I can't even imagine an alternate future in which Rumours somehow had more of a lasting impact than it already does... But with this song on there, I believe it would!

The Dance version is good and I do agree with backup singers ruined the chorus for sure...nothing beats the studio release. |
