Richfield is Cleveland, roughly. It's like saying Mansfield is Boston or Alpine Valley is Chicago or Inglewood is Los Angeles. Same shows.

Here are my comments:
Regardless...since this show was obviously recorded professionally for the impending Live album, the sound is great!!

I don't know what you've got there, but the show they just put up on the torrent site is not pro recorded -- it's audience. It's good audience, but it's audience.

Stevie, though, is in a very peculiar "state of mind." Perhaps she was just bored singing the songs the same way night after night, but her renditions don't enhance the performances in any positive way. She strays a lot from the recorded versions, which could be a good thing, but not here. Her phrasing is off all over the place. Granted, she takes some adventurous chances, but it comes off as odd, sloppy and inaccessible. -- much like she did on the Rock A Little tour. And she mostly just blurts out the lyrics in a very monotone voice. She sings "Dreams" and "Sara" like you never heard before (and wouldn't want to hear again.) I'm glad she eventually abandoned this approach.

It was an acquired taste for a few of us.
