I think Landslide has consistently been one of Stevie's best vocal performances. She's grown with the song, her voice has changed, but her tone quality is still quite lovely. I like how she does the song now over both the studio version as well as performances in the 70s. Also--how great is it that she's allowed the song to age? So many singers are afraid to do that and try to do everything they can to keep what they once had, be it vocally or in the original recording. I've always wondered why she's never done Landslide as an encore, but maybe that explains it...she likes a more quiet audience at the end who are not singing along with her.
