Well I seriously doubt she was better than ever in early 90s, but the point is about Rhiannon, I always wonder why "she didn't let" them play that song anymore, I guess because she didn't want to risk her voice with the screams, but she prove us she could perform it in a decent way since The Dance.

OMG I think you cracked the code and connected the dots. This ending to the book always confused me because I read the book when it came out when the Mac was on tour in 1990. I saw them in 1987 and 1990 and Rhiannon was played in those concerts. What could Mick have meant since Rhiannon was played during every Mac tour with Stevie.
Now lets connect the dots. Rhiannon was not played in Europe or most Euro dates in 1988 and we discovered that Sara was added. In 1988 Stevie had enough of Rhiannon live and dropped it. In 1989 she also dropped it from most of her OSOTM tour too. Mick was writing his book these years and so this explains why she did not do it in 1989 either.
Having seen the Mac in the states there was no context for what Mick wrote because Rhiannon was played every tour in the states.
