Favorite Live Version of Dreams
 

So I've been on a Dreams kick lately and I am wondering, what are your favorite live versions?

I love this one from 6-27-1983 because she has a few changes in it: "Have you any dreams that you'd like to sell? Lonely dreams... like a heartbreak drives you mad" And then her vocal on the second "drives you mad" and "oooh women they will come, darlin they will go, they will go.." and "well they say some women they will come and they will always go baby, go baby" gives me chills!

Then there is this one from 4-12-1986 in Austin, TX that I love mainly because at the end she sings, "Who is the wildest, the wildest, wildest heart of all?" and her crazy RAL vocals :thumbsup:

I know there have to be some more amazing versions out there, so please share your favs! :)

I don't know that it's a classic performance by any means, but it was the first (and only) time I have seen Stevie live, and this song in particular gave me goosebumps throughout. I will never forget everything about her performance of this song, right down to the lighting. It was truly magical to witness.

Oh they don't have to be classic! Mama can kick out some amazing versions these days too :)

I'm with you on that one! She was really having a blast that night. Can't wait to see her in London :)

My two fav versions are the one off the Live '80 Fleetwood Mac album, and the one off her solo Soundstage.

I don't know if it was a particularly great version, but my favorite will always be Las Vegas '97. It was the first time I saw Fleetwood Mac, and my 13 year old self was in awe. :laugh:

One of my favorite versions of Dreams is from the Melbourne Unleasehed show. I love when she goes for the higher notes right before the 2nd chorus.

Really? I gotta go with the Dance version.

I absolutely love the way she sings "I seeeeee the crystal visions"
It's fantastic :D

The House of Blues Street Angel version, September 1994!

For some reason, I love the Live In Boston version. For one, I was there. Plus, I adore the lil 'ahhhhhhhhhhh' at the end. <3

I love many of the live RAL versions of Dreams because she threw in so many ad libs, etc. but my all time fav version is the HBO special from the Bella Donna tour. It's absolute perfection...

The Dance DVD ... just love watching Stevie there

Who wants to guess mine? I'll sprinkle you with fairy dust if you're right!

"And, darling, they will GO!" HBO December 1981 Fox Wilshire Theatre LIVE version of "Dreams"...

Right, Lindsay? :]

You know it baby! *sprinkles Mike with fairy dust* Seriously though, does it get any better than this? The quintessential Stevie performance of Dreams right here darlings. She's so beautiful it hurts. I could cry. Just watch the video.
