I thought that this was a really tough question, but a very good one! :D I had to think on it a few days.
(1)Fleetwood Mac--Live in Passaic 1975. My all-time favorite. It has the Welsh Witch intro, which is neat. She hits all those notes perfectly. She is just so "into it," and I think this version especially highlights that era of Rhiannon. The guitar solo is great. I love the ummmmmmmmmm's before she does "Dreams Unwind~~Love's a State of Mind." I love the yell at the end. Perfection all the way around! Here are some others I really like, as well. I like each of these for different reasons, but I'll save you guys the blabbing and just list these :D : Stevie Nicks---9/17/94 Hollywood, CA "Welcome to My World;" Stevie Nicks--"Dreamer" (complication from "White Wing Dove Tour and "Wild Heart Tour); Fleetwood Mac-Shine Angel from St. Louis 1979 and Oakland 1982; and Fleetwood Mac---Dancing Alone--(It is a live, Dance era version, but her vocals are really up front on this track.). If I could pick a favorite studio version, I would have to go with the Single Mix, which is on Fleetwood Mac B-sides and More Disc 1. It is just fabulous! :D |

I hate to break it to you, but that end part is all a studio overdub. I went to the show the night before the taping, and her voice was pretty ragged. I was also there the night of the taping in question, and it was being simulcast on a local radio station - KLSX if my memory serves me correctly. I taped that live broadcast and it was dismal. Her voice was in terrible shape. Every offical ''recording" with those strong high notes that I have heard gives itself away quickly. If you listen closely, you can hear that she is singing over a very low volume track of her original vocal. They were either too lazy to take it off or her vocal wasn't recorded on a separate track. I agree it is a good version - but a live version it wasn't. There were some great renditions of Rhainnon on that tour. I saw the tour 7 or 8 times. But none of them were nearly as strong as that studio overdub. Not even close. For the record, my favorite versions of this song were from the Tusk tour. Like I have said many times, the song now needs to be retired. I no longer like it. It's essentially a fluid break for me. |
I too like the Rosebud version, with the little intro about the novel and all. The performance is very good.
I also loved Rhiannon this tour, especially in Bakersfield Oct. 15 2003. |

HAHA. It wasn't that dramatic. Me and my buddy were off for our regular 'Destiny' beer/bathroom break. We got near the Aladdin Men's room and there was quite a ruckus. Lots of yelling and swearing. Then two Towering Inferno Glamazons exploded out the Men's room entrance in a flurry of blonde wigs, chiffon, and fringes a flying. The presentation on both was complete with platforms. Each was nearly 7 feet tall. This was a notable occasion for me as it was the first time I had seen guys in Stevie drag at a show. Also, it was the first time I noticed that the audience was so ultra homo skewed. My buddy and I both said that night, "We thought we were the only gay guys into Stevie !" Au contraire. It was like a friggin gay parade in that joint. If you would have taken out all of us homos and the BBW's, that place would have been 1/3 full. :lol: |

"Destiny" was fantastic throughout, though. It featured some of the best ensemble harmony singing Stevie & her friends have ever done live. They were perfectly on key, clear & strong. It was a Stevie Maalox Moment. I had been out of the collecting dodge for many years by 1994, but it was really Stevie's singing -- especially on "Destiny" -- that revved me up again & made me buy a Goldmine magazine just to get started in the trading once again, primarily because I wanted tapes from the Street Angel shows. So Stevie's really responsible for giving me my second wind as a collecting fan! (Of course, it was Stevie who was responsible for my calling it quits to begin with.) |

Pepto or Milk of Mag moment for me. :shrug: |

But then the Street Angel Tour comes along -- nobody's expecting anything other than another Timespace Tour debacle from Stevie -- & blows me away. That's an exaggeration, but it was a shock to hear Stevie sing wonderfully again. So I advertised in Goldmine for concert recordings, & sort of got back into the swing of things. |

Timespace was NOT that bad IMO. She did some great songs.
-both hits from OSOTM -IF ANYONE FALLS -Introduced the Stand Back kick -Amazing version of Edge of Seventeen -I Need to Know never rocked any harder -Changed almost every song -Rhiannon brought back memories of Rosebud days! -Landslide was awesome especially with the backup singers Jimmy |

I'm with David in that the Street Angel tour BLEW ME AWAY. To me, that's quite possibly her best tour. :nod: |
Quote:
Dissetion I agree when i traded for my first SA bootleg Video i was blown away. i thought it was incredible. Street angel is my 2nd or 3rd fav tour from her. Stand back was awesome with her white wings. and I really enjoyed the top hat for I Need to Know. Talk to Me was also excellent! Jimmy |

a) I have too many bootleg cassette tapes b) I have been far too busy since 1994 c) At one time I had WAY too much time on my hands - going to a concert and simultaneously taping the show off the radio with a cassette player. :laugh: |

As far as the Welcome to my World unedited, yes, the voice is rough & scratchy at times. BUT she still belted every song out tremendously, despite the fact that she was ill. I think it's a great performance, with or without the overdubs. Paula |

I call it Stevie's NASCAR year. |
Quote:
I totally agree. But you should have seen her at the Boston show. ;) I was expecting her to just fall over and die from boredom. Quite possibly the worst I've ever seen her. She sang as if she was snoring simultaneously. She kept looking over to the side as if she was trying to get a look at the clock to see if it was time to go back to bed yet. I got the audio boot for it a few months ago finally and it had a pre-show interview with her where she was really energetic and talkative (only like five minutes before she was to go onstage). Whatever happened in those five minutes, I guess I'll never know. |

DAVID!!! Dallas and Holmdel are cirrculating???????????????????? Id love to get my hands on those. But as i see you are like an expert on bootlegs so im sure you have lots of goodies! Jimmy |
Quote:
Check it out!! I think most of the tour is recorded -- fifteen or twenty shows at least. Check on some of the trader rings like the Underground. You'll probably find your favorites! |

David are you serious?
The most ive seen is about 8 shows on major trade pages. Do you have any info on Other Side of the Mirror shows that you could give me. I do kno a good number of them were recorded. Thanks, Jimmy |
Quote:
Lindsey made her mad? there weren't the right number of streamers on her mic? There weren't enough cameras there to warrant going all out? She overindulged in crab cakes before the show, and it caught up with her? She took a puff off a doob? she couldn't breathe in her tight-a** corset? She wanted to "let her boobs do the talking"? :laugh: AMber |

as well as the video from the Cal Expo show in Sacramento (I skipped a graduate seminar to attend that concert
Wow I am very interested in this! You probably already have the two pro-shot videos -- 1989 & 1991 -- both shot at Shoreline Amphitheatre.[/QUOTE] Yes David got both of these and they are both outstanding to me. I went into that trade web ring thing and i found an excellent site hopefully ill be getting an email soon! Jimmy |
Quote:
With all the yanking and pulling and caressing she did with those thangs, I'm surprised they didn't fall off! |

Sorry to bring this thread out of retirement, but I was just reading the BN board where someone was asking about a live performance of Rhiannon where she screams "Is that what you want from me" or something to that effect. I guess Mick talked about it in his book. Forgive me if this was already discussed in another thread, but I've already searched the threads for about an hour looking for it. So anyway...does anyone know what performance this is from? Also does anyone know what performance it was that her voice cracked really bad on Rhiannon that Mick also talks about in his book? Thanks!

Mick makes it sound as if it happened once, but Stevie did it for weeks. |

Ok, thanks David! I have several of those shows so I will have to take a listen. :) Do you know anything about the ones where her voice cracks really bad? |
