Dreams - Wild Heart Tour

[David]

My favorite "Dreams" chorus of all Stevie solo time is the one from St. Paul MN (July 15, 1983). But there's another one that's excellent too -- from Philadelphia PA (June 27, 1983).

Please listen to both of them and tell me which you prefer. I have included only the final chorus from each performance because those are the bits that thrill me and chill me.

Listen to Stevie really wail it out. It's beautiful Wild-Hearted Joy.

Both good. But I like Philly better...a little more wailing.

[gldstwmn]

I've always liked that Philly show. Isn't that the one where she said she and Waddy drove to the show because their ears were hurting from flying?

[FMlex]

I had never heard these before -- they both sound great!
I'd say Philly though because, like nailatixela said, a little more wailing. :)

[strandinthewind]

She sounds like she has a cold - though it is likely safe to assume her nasal passages were VERY clear :laugh:

Not my fav. era for vocals, but I do love the energy and the attempt as opposed to today's rote nature of both.

[crystal baller]

I like MN better, Philly is a close 2nd though and the sound quality is great.

[enchantd1]

Thrills and chills... Hellyeah David!! Both are good but I definately like the Philadephia one better. Like others love those wails. It's sad but the f'd up Stevie is the one I first heard and fell in love with. Glad she's still alive, clean- sober now and I still love her but god I miss those days!!!

[DeeGeMe]

The WH tour is still my all-time fav. Good times, good times.

[kathy1]

thanks for sharing with us.

[badanimals87]

My vote goes to St Paul, but they're both great. Thanks for sharing David.
