Yeah that must play some big part in our tastes: when were we first exposed to something? did we go at it chronologically or asynchronously? did we hear stevie as a young kid? which stevie did we hear as a young kid? do we associate a certain stevie with good memories? with bad memories? etc.
I once had an argument with the pop music critic at the paper over which was the better version of "Walk a Thin Line"--on Tusk or on The Visitor. I said the former was much more interesting & he thought the former was an embarrassment & derivative of certain strains of brit pop at the time. I told him the Tusk version was the one I heard first, & he said the Visitor version was the one he heard first.

Did you go to any of the 2005 shows?

Nope, but I have two of them on DVD: Nokia (?) & Los Angeles. the only thing I really sort of enjoyed was Circle Dance because stevie didn't have to live up to my expectations of "stevie" -- instead she could just be melanie or bonnie raitt or even just a wedding singer.
