Live Gold Dust Woman

[DavidMn]

I jut thought I'd start this cause I was listenint to the version from Baton Rouge, 8-30-78 that's over 10 minutes long, and it's far and away the best live version of this song I've ever heard. Any of you have your own favorite live versions of GDW?

[chiliD]

Favorite Fleetwood Mac version: From 1994...I LOVE that incarnation's take of the song

Favorite Stevie Nicks version: From Sheryl Crow's "Live In Central Park"

Favorite Non-Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks version: Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson's cover

. . . Favorite Stevie Nicks version: From Sheryl Crow's "Live In Central Park"

She positively smoldered and smoked in that rendition. AND - I love that she did the studio version of GO HOOOOOOO OOOMMMEEEEE OOOHHHHOOOHHHHHOOHHHOHMMIUUUUUMMMMMMEEEEEEEE

Waylon and Willie? Wow, I never knew that. Sounds interesting.

Waylon also covered "Rhiannon".

I just wonder why she doesn't even come close to doing that with Fleetwood Mac? I think the reason why I like that version the best (of ALL) is because Sheryl's band PLAYS it like I wish Fleetwood Mac would play it (the dynamic quality, I mean). Fleetwood Mac has really smoothed out the peaks & valleys of the dynamics of the song (beginning with The Dance version)

[strandinthewind]

Waylon also covered "Rhiannon".

and it was pretty good - it was sort of weird though to hear that song in a literal sense or at least from a smoewhat literal singer.

[DavidMn]

Waylon also covered "Rhiannon".?!?! I guess I need to crawl out from under the rock I've been under!:laugh:

I know. Interestingly, I think in the Tusk live outtakes, she does the same sort of smoldering version, except she is more in a trance and sort of hunched over the mic. and singing in this impossibly high for her voice.

For me, the problem with all of The Dance was the songs were slowed down to accomodate IMO the age of the band, etc., and GDW, which to me is a song of great nuance, suffered from that perhaps the greatest, though GYOW was a tad painful to these ears as well.

Then it must have been the Rumors tour, but the footage is in the Tusk live outtakes. I am confused. It was def. one of the Japanese performaces - the one where La Nicks is WASTED backstage and CM makes the hysterical, friendly crack about if you want to know what it is like to be a sex symbol, you should ask Stevie Nicks laugh laugh laugh :cool:

All I know about that show is that I've NEVER seen Stevie as high as she was that night.

[David]

Favorite Stevie Nicks version: From Sheryl Crow's "Live In Central Park"What tickles your little pretty about that one? All I hear is just a big bland backup & a listless, boring Stevie Nicks vocal typical of her Third Period.

It's indistinguishable from countless other GDWs on the 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004 & 2005 tours. I think you're just being perverse -- but you're not being perverted! :blob1: :blob1: :blob2: :blob1:

and it was f*ckin fabulous. that's my girl workin it out. my idol.

and you must post this 10 min version of GDW.

[DavidMn]

It very well could be - but LB had the short hair if memory serves me correctly, which it may not be doing right now :thumbsup:

Yes that's the Rumours Tour. That's the final eight or ten days, in fact, of that tour.

Problem is, Stevie's vocals were pretty drugged-out-drippy-doodle-woodle hinkie-dinkie-parlez-vous by that point. She sang as if she had a staf infection or an inflammation on her mouth or lip, trying to restrain motor movement out of pain or something. I think her tour doctor shot her mouth or jaw up full of painkiller, so she sang all her songs -- Rhiannon, Dreams, Gold Dust Woman -- like Gloria Grahame singing in Oklahoma & not moving her mouth.

But of course the band's playing was slinky & winky & kicky & dicky: the interspersal of FX on pianet with Gibson Les Paul with undulating, cobratastic bass line all created mystery & history & herstory & gory-wory.

[David]

It very well could be - but LB had the short hair if memory serves me correctly, which it may not be doing right now :thumbsup:Two different things here, strand. There's the December 5, 1977, show in Tokyo at the Budokan--Lindsey still shaggy. And there's the August 1978 Landover show--Lindsey cut off his shag (one year before the Tusk Tour).

I still call the 1978 tour like the 'extension' of the Rumours Tour. It would be a logistical mistake to consider it the Tusk Tour (which was still 14 months away).

I agree - her vocals were out there, but they were just cool to me.

I was just listening to this version today, before I even read this thread. It is a great one. :thumbsup:

GDW has always reminded me, a little tiny bit, of a Doors song.

is this the one where everyone says she has an operatic orgasmic climax near the end? if so, I have that one. if not, I'd love it if you could post it.

How lame is this? I just got a new cell phone and am like GD whatever it comes too, I MUST have a kick ass SN ringtone (that stuff usually doesn't matter to me, but this new phones ringtones sucked...) so I find one. It's polyphonic, but because it's instrumental, it sounds pretty damn good. It's GDW ofcourse. Since then, I have had it majorly stuck in my head, and have been re-discovering all of my GDW versions. Currently the one I favor most is the HBO special Bella Donna era. Not as witchy and amazing live as several of her others, but she's sorta trance-like, and I like the delivery of it.
Hands down, best version though IMO is the Japan 77. LOVE that damn one. It is so amazing!!!!!! Anyway, that's my dumb "in the life of me" info for today. :lol:

I found a program a while back where you can upload songs and select the 10-15 second portion you want as your ringtone. I can't remember the name of the site, but go to the Stevie forum and search. I think it was 10 dollars for a year or something. It's awesome. I have tons of Stevie REAL music ringtones now.

The August 31, 1978 show at Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge, LA is officially considered the final show of the Rumours tour.the legacy tourdates are incomplete. Mac played New Orleans last. I saw a little bit of the video once a long time ago at Rob's apartment.

[JazmenFlowers]

now that I've talked about it, I can't find the GDW I was speaking of. anyone know the GDW where she does some operatic stuff near the end? I have so many I don't know which date it was...

[Sugar]

I think the one you're talking about is the Philadelphia 1977 one...could be 3/21??? Not sure of the exact date...

[chiliD]

I think the one you're talking about is the Philadelphia 1977 one...could be 3/21??? Not sure of the exact date...

Yeah, 3/21/77 IS from Philadelphia.

[AliceLover]

GDW has always been ok to me until I saw it on the TISL tour. Maybe David or ChiliD could appreciate this. I just thought the musical arrangement was so good. I really liked Brett's keyboards for some reasons. There are a lot of noises in the beginning that sound really spiritual and interpretive. When I was there..i loved that riff...the famous riff to the song..you know the one in the beginning and between each lyric.

That is the only GDW that had ever really struck me. But I do like it in general and I like seeing it live...today.

[JazmenFlowers]

that is exactly the one. listening to it now.

fabulous.

[GypsySorcerer]

I will always love the Dance version of GDW, though. It's one of my all-time favorite Stevie performances. :D

[JazmenFlowers]

I will always love the Dance version of GDW, though. It's one of my all-time favorite Stevie performances. :D
mine too. it holds a special place in my heart. it was the first time I heard/saw Stevie sing...when I watched The Dance - and I was hooked.

Personally, I can't distinguish a TISL GDW from an Enchanted GDW from a Gold Dust GDW from a Millennium GDW (although I can spot a Mirror GDW at fifty paces).

However, I can distinguish down to the city & date all the GDWs on tape from 1977 to 1986.

So those are (or were) important to me. But the ones that move YOU the most are the ones that you should LOVE LOVE LOVE, right? let your preferences be your guide through the miasma that is love & light & Fleetwood Music. :blob2: :] :blob1: :mad: :thumbsup: :angel:

Please write back, Jim.

David, your series of smilies reminds me of a standardized test question: which of the following items do not belong in this grouping?

[skcin]

I'd really have to go back & listen to my boots, but offhand, it's the version from The Dance DVD. Awesome atmosphere, awesome rhythm by Mick & John, awesome yell - everything.

Favorite Stevie Nicks version: From Sheryl Crow's "Live In Central Park"


I just watched it on youtube. Am I missing something :shrug:

Yes thats what its all about. Totally reinvented GDW for me!!! Enchanted was ok. Millenium sucked. GD didn't keep me attentive for some reason. The mirror version is growing on me (birmingham, Holland 1989)--- very good!

David you seriously have to make a lit of the concert tapes you have and send it to me. No one trades anymore...plus ive been dying forever to peek into your collection!

[MacMan]

Can someone download this and tell me what performance this version of GDW is from? I can't place it... and it's been bugging me awhile. The only label it came with is what the file is called "jim ladd interview". Where its from I have no idea, but it sounds like an intimate location - maybe it's from the whiskey??

Peter, my guess is that's either Storytellers (I think it is) or the rehearsal audio that Jim Ladd played when he broadcast his 1998 Innerview with her. (He also played After the Glitter Fades.)

[David]

David you seriously have to make a lit of the concert tapes you have and send it to me. No one trades anymore...plus ive been dying forever to peek into your collection!I used to have a list, but those days are long past, Jimmy. I am ancient in my ignorance & folly. Plus, I'm throwing out all my tapes. I hate & fear all that stuff now; in Baudelaire's phrase, "I have felt the wind of the wing of madness."

[MacMan]

Thanks David.. I'll compare it to the storytellers I have. Which I just did and it's not there so it must be the rehearsal audio from Storytellers??.. It's not on the disc of have of the broadcast.

[David]

No no no no no no no, Peter. I don't mean rehearsal from Storytellers. I mean the rehearsal for the Enchanted Tour. Don't you remember that Jim Ladd's 1998 interview with Stevie featured two rehearsal songs: After Glitter Fades & GDW?

But I just don't think it's that, either. It's her solo band. Hmmm...it's gotta be that tour rehearsal. What else would it be? There were five or six tracks broadcast for the 2001 show in San Francisco, but I don't remember GDW being one of them. Besides, that wasn't a small crowd. This is a small crowd. Are you sure it isn't storytellers?

[MacMan]

Just checked my Jim Ladd 98 interview disc and that's exactly what it's from - Jim says it's from the last night of rehearsals - except the version on my disc sounds slowed down, this one is much better... After The Glitter Fades is there too. Thanks!

Why on Earth would you throw away all your tapes when you could send them to someone to transfer to CD and get better copies. You've said yourself you've traded for a while. Im sure the ones you have are better than what we have now.

CMONNNNNNNNNN

[DavidMn]

Two different things here, strand. There's the December 5, 1977, show in Tokyo at the Budokan--Lindsey still shaggy. And there's the August 1978 Landover show--Lindsey cut off his shag (one year before the Tusk Tour).
