Now your right, that was amazing. (btw the frakenbocks have grown on me :laugh: ) COME TO NZ!!

[Peestie]

Stevie Nicks has no nuance left in her voice :( The start just needed to be much less belted out.

[kathy1]

thanks for sharing with us.

[wheart]

WOW!!!!!!! Major goosebumps.

thanks for posting this :nod::nod:

[SandyMac]

Wow, intense, you can always tell Stevie is rockin' it when she pulls that mic stand. Can you imagine being right there in front row? Awesome. :thumbsup:

Well, that's not been the major problem, Peestie, at least the ENERGY is back for quite some bit. Something to be happy about i'd say....

[DigYourGrave]

Those GODDAM 'boks..

She looks like shes flopping about in slippers!!! :distress:

She rocked that out regardless though! :xoxo:

[TrueFaith77]

It seems to me the band added a harder rock edge to the song... not sure if I was conscious of that during the earliers shows I saw, but definately a different tone than The Dance.

Well, that's true. I guess having her seem to be more energetic is important and it's refreshing to see it again. It works great for the second half of the song but I'm still not too keen on her performance in the first part. I don't hate it or anything, and I'd be happy to see this performance live but I just miss the Stevie who didn't have to belt it all time.

I agree. The texture is gone. There's definitely no contrasting anymore. Its either forced, or REALLY forced. But yes, the engery is back. And for that, we should be thankful. :D

[gldstwmn]

Nice. But like David said, at this point, I'm wishing her vocal coach would fall out of the plane. Is this really the best this guy can do with her voice? :shrug:

[ontheEdgeof17]

People actually think this is good? It's alright. I didn't hear anything special or added emotion to this version. Sounded like she was on the same note the whole time......

Quit shouting. You wrote the verses to be soft and airy, for the climax at the end. Sing it that way. And I dont like the way she ends long notes anymore. Abrupt ends, as she turns away from the mic. Choppy.

Wow, funny you wrote that....I thought the same thing. 30 seconds into the song and I was thinking to myself that she doesn't need to scream it, just sing it!
However, the end was totally great and more than made up for those little bits and pieces, IMO.

LOL!! I know, aren't they horrendous? They never get any better but we still love our Stevie, boks and all.

[vivfox]

I loved that performance and glad to see it's back in the set.

IMO, its a little Rock a Little-esque.

You know, I was JUST thinking that today..lol..as long as Stevie is happy, I'm happy...

Plus they DO look better this year with the leather leg things she's wearing with them as compared to 2003.

THIS is what I want to here. Raw...and uninhibited.

" ... the leather leg things she's wearing ..." - I find these to be very interesting - in my opinion it adds a sort of goth edge to Stevie's costume - an effect much the same as the style of boots worn by Rene Russo in "The Thomas Crown Affair" in a key scene. Stevie apparently finds the shoes comfortable. From my vantage point at the edge of the stage, the leggings were at eye level for me and I have to confess I did spend more than a couple minutes trying to figure out how the leggings attached to everything! Regardless, Stevie was a chatty, enthusiastic performer in San Jose for which I happily witnessed.

I got a contact high from watching this :thumbsup:

Imo, I think the days of soft and expressive are pretty much over for Stevie. Years of abuse have all but ruined her chords. There's no vocal coach that can cure that. I think that inspite of smoking, toking, coking, nodes and sinus damage, she is lucky to be able to sing at all. She can't make a sound that she can keep on pitch if she doesn't put some major wind behind it. I listen to her 70's demo's and just wish..... Sometimes I wonder if she waits and gets a decadron shot for "important" or sentimental venues. It would explain her elevated mood and vocal stamina.....
In any case I will love her and listen to her music until I exhale my last breath (drama!)

All I can say and thgink is "OOOOO MYYY GOOOODDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!"

those things are very cool. At least Stevie has recogonized the fact that the platform reeboks are indeed...ugly. Very ugly. Hence the need for the leather leg things. She's trying to make them as un-ugly as possible and is succeeding, for the most part. I would think they would need to be able to be removed fairly easily in case she wants to slip back into the boots.
