Rhiannon Crying
 

Just had to ask you something.
EVERY time I watch this I start to cry like a baby...it's like, to watch Stevie cry makes me cry, a flood of tears. I think this version of Rhiannon is the sadest...:(...
So now, do you also always cry when you see Stevie cry and when you watch this???
I think I'm NOT alone...xD

I don't cry, but I do feel the emotion that comes from the song, and the time it was preformed. This is a great Rhiannon.

And this reminds me. I think it would be cool to complie a list of live preformances where Stevie cried. Date/Place/Song.

I'm crying now. Not all out bawling but I'm all teared up. How come Stevie was crying? (don't hit me if I'm missing something really obvious *ducks*)

At first I was highly amused by her little bobbing dance though.

I think it was because it was nearing the end of her solo tour, which she had to keep short because Fleetwood Mac was recording Mirage. Something like that. Maybe she was unsure she'd get to have another solo tour? She looks genuinely upset, so it is pretty effecting.

As for her dancing.. this concert offers some of the best/amusing Stevie numbers.

Random High Kick in Edge of Seventeen is my favorite. :blob1:

Nothing beats the kicks/dancing/tambourine of Gold and Braid!

True true, but you forgot booty shakin'! :laugh:

The Edge of Seventeen one is close second for me, because she looks so serious up to that point, then just turns around and throws up a high kick while looking right at Russ Kunkel during the chorus. She didn't even look like she braced herself, just threw it up randomly.

... I've seen that concert too many times. :lol:

I swear I am not making fun of you but I can't listen to that demo without laughing. You're referring to the one where she's talking...to the music...to Lindsey?

This performance always makes me laugh because of 3:50. Waddy messes up or something and Stevie gives him this "WTF!?" look. It is sooo priceless!

The one where she wants to take a tape recorder to the park to record the sound of...birds...rising? And asks Lindsey if he thinks Rhiannon is a beautiful name? Man, she was so serious and thought she had herself a great idea there!

I'm actually embarrassed for her when I listen to it.

BTW, Hi Brad. :wavey:

I'm thinking this was shortly after her friend Robin died.

Really I don't think Waddy messes up. It doesn't sound like he played anything wrong- he moved back to the verse like he was supposed to. I just Stevie had a moment! :)

Huh? That was in 1982? This was recorded in '81, she was just sad cause she can be:nod:
