what's your favorite Stand Back live performance?
 

mine has got to be SNL, followed very, very closely by the Solid Gold performance.

I like the SA Stand Backs. The band really had that coda part down, she did a massive kick, and her voice was strong. I prefer LIB to most of the old ones, actually. It's one of the very few songs that I like better now live than I did 20 years ago.

****. I knew I was leaving something out. and I meant to add LIB and the Boston Mixfest. oh well.

I don't think I've seen many, if any, SA performances.

Hmm. I wonder if I have any on video. ****, I saw about 8 shows on the tour
so it's kinda etched in my head.

My favorite is from the "Dreamer" cd. I like really long intros on this song. I don't know what show it's from or even what tour - but I love it... It's probably from 81, but I'm not sure... Second pick would be SNL.

I can edit the poll for you, Jason, to add those.
Just let me know if there are any others you'd like to add, and how you want the options to be worded.

The one on the 'Dreamer' boot is actually my favorite, too. It was recorded on October 4th, 1983, at the Oakland Coliseum in Oakland, CA., and then added (along with "Beauty And The Beast" and "Leather And Lace") to the nine songs from the 'In Concert' video, for a Superstar Concert Series radio broadcast in '84.

SNL! And Solid Gold second (totally on drugs though). Both the best Stand Backs ever despite weird, Stand Back dancin' man Brad Jeffries

Thanks Johnny Stew!... I had a feeling it was from the wild heart tour, but thought maybe because the others were 81 it was the same.

SNL all the way.

H.O.B. '94 is my current fave. LIB and Leno are my runners up. This song moves a lot better when she's off the junk :nod:

I'm a weirdo, I know, but I absolutely love the RAL Tour Wantaugh, New York Stand Back. If it was on VH1, it would be "Awesomely Bad" but for me, it's just awesome. You can feel the energy, the drugs, the pure sexiness of it all just exuding from the speakers. I can't even imagine what it would have been like to see the show live.

My runner up is rather tame in comparison, the SNL performance. :lol:

Live In Boston by a longshot. She kicks ass on that version. :nod:

I was at that show and this would be my vote for favorite SB live performance ever. SNL is a close second.

I love the House of Blues version from the Street Angel tour. It kicks ass. :cool:

That's my fav. too, she nails it. :nod:

Does anyone have an mp3 of that anyways? I lost that CD a long time ago.

The Boston dvd...

LIB followed by Today Show...

I enjoy the Storytellers version, as well. The "timmmmmeeeee...ofyourlife!" part is fantastic and should be included more during her shows.

I voted for Storytellers. That version just says I AM BACK. Completely drug free and dances her ass off. Gotta give credit to the Today Show version too, love her outfit and vocals.

Yea sure the old versions are good but only because she was on coke. I like the newer versions because it shows what she can really do!

I think the old versions are good because of Bobbye Hall!

LIB, but Im very partial to the Arseno '91 performance...

Here ya go, my friend....

"Stand Back" (Oakland, CA, 10-04-83)

Like Rhiannon, SOTM, Edge, How Still My Love and Gold Dust Woman, its nice that there are SO MANY great live versions to pick from. The nice thing about Stand Back as opposed to Rhiannon is that so many of those great versions are from this past decade.

My all time favorite Stand Back is Woodstock 98, I belive the last date on the Enchanted Tour. The thing that puts it over the top for me is that MAYbe MAYBe Maybe YEAAAAH part. Runners Up include:

Tacoma 97
Today Show Katrina Benifit Thing
LIB
7-26-05
SNL
Super Bowl (There's just somethign about this most recent Stand BAck that I love)

AND I'd like to add that probably one of my least favorite Stand BAcks is the Dreamer version. Still good but too muchl like the studio version, which I'm in the minority of not liking.

Bobbye Hall is amazing. I remember watching her when I was 8 on the Red Rocks video and going, "Wow how does she make all those noises." :laugh:

Works up one hell of a sweat too! :p

<33333 Johhny. :xoxo: Thanks so much!

I voted Solid Gold with Storytellers running a close second.

Can you fix my vote as well? I accidentally hit Super Bowl, which is nowhere near my fav performance.

Yeah. I don't think I have it on the compu though so I'm going to have to upload it. I'll do it for you in a little bit. I have to find the CD first. I think :o I know where it is.

EDIT: Ah, JS beat me to it. Thank you. Now I don't have to go searching for it.

I also loved it when she said "Love your life" during that era at the end. That's why it's my sig.

Bobbye Hall is a hell of a player. :nod:

That's Stevie ad-libbing because she forgot the lyrics for a sec :-)

My favorite SB has to be the Whiskey A Go Go SB, it goes on longer than the Arsenio version and even though Stevie was a wee bit off key, the band just rocked!

I like the Us fest version from 1983.

Arsenio Hall (sp?) ROCKS! If anyone has an MP3 of it...PPPPLLLEEEEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE upload. :D

I'm uploading House of Blues '94 and Woodstock '98 which are also 2 of my favs.

All the best,
Chris

Okay. But the sound quality is just okay. It's got a lot of clicking in it. Sorry, I'm picky about sound.:o

Here ya go:

My choice would be...
 

other - Aug.3,2001 in Dallas, TX at the Smirnoff Music Centre, When I saw her perform it in person.

GW Forum, Inglewood, CA, 1987.

Yes, with Fleetwood Mac. I think ALL of the Fleetwood Mac versions outdo any of her solo versions.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/n7kmv6 - Woodstock '98
http://www.sendspace.com/file/mj9xxs - House of Blue's '94

my second favourite:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/pzy59o - Live at The Whiskey. Not sure on the year. I am 98% sure it's from the Timespace tour.

Live @ the Whiskey A-Go-Go - this is from 91 :)

That's not a favorite of mine. I do like the percussion to it and her "hey!"s at the end, but that's about it.
