I prefer this version of Dreams over The Dance version, it just sounds better for some reason. I'm glad they didn't put SYW on the CD, that song bores me to tears. I'm sorry, but it's incredibly dull live and her EXTREMELY low vocals on that song make me wanna hurl. It's the only song I skip on the DVD.

While I passionately dislike the latter-day Rhiannons, this one kicks ass. I love it! And Come is perfection. I love those high notes he sings before he launches into the solo.

Trust me, it's not you.
When they played this on the FM marathon a few weeks back, I literally *cringed*. She does not sound good on this song at all; she's REALLY straining to hit those notes, it's no wonder they dropped it. However, I must say, she really kicks it into gear for the ending...it's fab.

I LOVE Stand Back on this tour, it's probably the best it's ever been. I wish they would've canned the cloying solo that runs for way too long in the beginning, it's so blah.

I think it was John Run who said that this version of Gypsy makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, and it does. She looks gorgeous, she sounds gorgeous, and I love the "bright eyes." I was never a fan of Gypsy live, but this one rocks.

A Mac singer who lost their range?! Nevah!

Yeah, the world is turning in his head. Too bad it hasn't knocked him out yet.

I agree. As beautiful as Stevie is, that zit was obnoxious.
