(We need to get folks in the habit of posting these Stevie-only threads on the Stevie Forum.)

The 'Mirror' and 'Timespace' tours definitely saw some very listless performances from Stevie, but I guess it's a miracle at all that she even performed, given how profoundly the Klonopin addiction was affecting her.

The radio shows from both are probably the vocal highlights of those particular tours, though they certainly don't match previous tours or subsequent tours.

As for Stevie's limited movements then and now, for me the difference is that she seems to focus her energies more on sounding good these days, than she used to.
In the late '80s and very early '90s, she didn't move much, but she didn't really put much "oomph" into the bulk of her vocal performances either.
In regards to current shows, she may not be moving as much as she did up to the 'Rock A Little' tour, but she's giving stellar vocal performances, in my opinion.

And I have to wonder how difficult it is to dance and sing, with a hole in your sinuses.
If you can't breathe properly, I can't imagine you being able to do both things well. So it's gotta be one or the other I'd guess, and I'd rather have great vocal performances (ie: on-key, full-voiced and strong).

Of course, I know others will argue my opinion that she's giving great vocal performances, as it's all a matter of opinion.
