Many, Many thanks to Nancy for posting!!!!

I love her voice now, esp. on The Dance version of Silver Springs. But, her angelic voice in these two 70's live versions is the voice I fell in love with SO many years ago!!!!!!!!! I had never heard the first one (the non "uncirculated Rumors" one). I cried during the "I Loved you, I Loved You, I loved You" part.

I think she is just such an incredible person to be able to capture the magic in the same song with two basically completely different voices and singing styles (then and now) and after 25 years in between. She also did this for me in the White Album version of Landslide (and all live performances I have heard through the Tusk tour) and The Dance version. Same for Gold Dust Woman - the "Go HOOOMMMEEAHAHAHAHFDHSKJHFD:OIASHAHAHHAHHA" exorcism in The Dance version sends chills everytime I hear it as does the Japan Rumors tour live version (which is actually soft in parts)!!!!!:nod:

I would LOVE to see a video of a performance of this song during the '70's. Just from the sound of these live performances, it would be PRETTY INTENSE.

Does anyone know if there is video available of this song from "back in the day"?

Also, I was wondering if anybody knew anything more specific about the shows the two I posted are from? I'm trying to be more dilligent about such things, lol.

I actually kinda thought the "which Silver Springs" question was a little "apples and oranges" because we're comparing a studio version with a live version, and as we all know Stevie fires it up when she's performing live! So now maybe we have a new question: WHICH live version do you prefer? I have to go with '76/'77 Stevie because of the strength of her voice. I actually think she sounds a little strained on most of The Dance version of Silver Springs.

By the by...anyone have any opinions on the last thing she sings on the non-uncirculated Rumours one? On the uncirculated Rumours one I'm pretty sure it's "Even though we tried...even though we tried..." and while I'm pretty sure I hear the word "tried" in there, the rest of it just doesn't sound the same.:confused:

I thought she was saying "even though you try" which is her response to "you'll never get away . . . " But, it is unclear (surprise!!!! :laugh: )

Oh...sure Strand..thanks for muddying the waters a little more...:laugh:

The world may never know...

I thought it was "Go ahead and try!"

They are different.

In one, she says "even though you try," which is, I think, the one that has "uncirculated rumors" in the title.

In the other one, she says "go ahead and try."
