I happen to think this is all intentional pacing. Like the old saying goes, you don't give it all away in the first act; you have to save something for the second act. And that's pretty much why the first half of the show is, for lack of a better term, "smoldering." The trifecta of "Rhiannon," "Sorcerer," and "GDW" are these perfectly gritty witchy women songs that are slow but rock hard in a hippie dippy kinda way. So her movements are kinda languid and dreamy and slow. It isn't until "Stand Back" that the energy level starts to go up. By "Rock n Roll" she is in full-tilt boogie swagger mode (well, in a white chick kinda way
). I think it would be kinda lame if she opened at full tilt and then failed to sustain the momentum.
