Rhiannon Board Tape - 1978 - Uncirculated Reel
 

A CD copy of a previously UNCIRCULATED REEL has been very generously shared with us. I hope everyone enjoys these NEVER-BEFORE-HEARD versions!!!! (Check out Stevie's "Birds Rising" speech; not so impromptu after all!)

Thanks.Mediafire is a joke.avert popups nonstop.I like Adrive. less popups.

These are not the same versions from Uncirculated Rumours or from any other Reel. All totally different!

Can't wait to listen to this. You made my day! Thanks! :xoxo:

I am so excited to download these -- thank you!!!

I could see Stevie giving "Cecilia" the "Moonlight" treatment, based on these demos.

I guess Stevie used the "Beautiful name/birds rising" speech as a mantra to get her into "Rhiannon", since she uses it here, as well as the very well-known other piano demo. Does it lose its specialness? ;)

Could "Castaway" be another Rhiannon song? Or, like "Blue Water", is it just included on the reel, but not related to Rhiannon?

These all sound great Mike. Thank you !

THANKS for these Mike!! I'll download and listen later. Can't wait:woohoo:

Not sure if these were shared in June. We posted them elsewhere, but I didn't get around to here because of my mother's surgery, and was overwhelmed. These recordings are from March 1978, but on a later Reel:

Catalog Roughs - Reel #2 - 3/27/1980

"The Maker Of Birds"

I love that second take of Rhiannon.

Thank you so much for posting. Awesome.

Mike, thank you so much - What a great way to end my day at work!

Thanks so much Mike

Thanks Mike so much! I just want to say that I appreciate your hard work and sharing! :]

What is she saying in the first line of Cecilia?

Why does Cecelia remind me so much of Straight Back?
