"Sorcerer" live appreciation thread
 

I was reading Liquid's comment about how Sorcerer is one of his fave's live and just had to say-

I am finally getting around to listening to the entire Las Vegas shows and the last show (5/14) version of Sorcerer is OUTSTANDING. Stevie is in really fine voice with alot of power and vibrato. The band plays it so well. Now one of my top favorites live up there with Stand Back. Just had to say how GREAT Stevie sounded- and i have not been that impressed with the LV shows vocally(like I am with the current shows/DonHenley shows) Also a great Gold Dust Woman too. Just rocking.

I was very disappointed when this song was dropped at the Stevie/Don shows--goes perfect with Rhiannon :nod: It was in my opinion the best song at the Grand Rapids show--I LOVE Sorcerer!!! :) I'm so glad she put it back in the set!!

I've always loved this song. The live BN version from Alabama was a favorite until I went to Vegas. The vocals on TISL are a little too processed for my tastes, but I like what Sheryl did with the rest. I even like the music video of this one.

As far as seeing a performance, Sorcerer from 5/11 in Vegas is the best thing I've ever seen Stevie do live. I liked the attitude, the phrasing, the "delivery" (whoa Mama! :eek: ) and even the little introduction she said before going into the song. This is at the very top of my Best Live Stevie Performances Ever!

:nod:

Ditto sista!

She was on freakin' fire during Sorcerer and How Still My Love that night. Sure Saturday's vocals were better, but performance wise Wed. will always be my favorite.

I miss HSML and Sorcerer - both bring out the best in Ms. Nicks.

Oh yeah! Tues 5/10 it was so-so, but she rocked it out HARD on Wed 5/11. :nod: Amber & I actually looked over at eachother like "ho****!" It was so good. That sassy HSML from that night is unforgettable too.

I love this too! In Vegas, that was the song that went on loop in my head after the show. "Sorcerer, who is the master..." Totally rocks. :nod:

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED Sorcerer live! :] The look that she gave on the line "Let me put you on ice" was so sexy...wow! If I was a little older and I wasn't straight...I would be all over that :laugh:

i swear to god she sang "Sorcerer" to me thursday night.. she kept looking at me with bedroom eyes.. she must have been trying to flirt with me :p

Well aren't you the lucky one! ;) I would kill for that, damn the woman is H.O.T!

Wednesday's show was out of control--especially during Sorcerer...the hip swaying, her extending the palm of her hand and marking an X like she was cutting a line...eyes closed, etc. I don't think i've ever seen her that way before--it was truly crazy but such an amazing performance.

I was sitting next to someone I didn't even know. We looked at each other like "no she didn't." I've seen the replay. Oh hell! She did! :eek:

You know the part I mean. :nod:

Unfortuantely the part that really dropped my jaw isn't on the reply. The boot man cut to Waddy at exactly the wrong time. He didn't catch the little dress move she did at the beginning. It's burned into the video of my mind, but I wish I had it on the video in my dvd player, too.

:lol:

didn't you guys mention stevie was licking the mic or something like that at one of the vegas shows? which show is that on? i watched the DVD's and didn't see that.

I saw her kiss the mic. :shocked:

I don't think any bootleg will do that performance justice though.
