Between 87-97, I felt like we lost her essence for about 10 years! I always loved and supported her and defended her to the death..but those were about 10 years of darkness that she and we will never get back..just my opinion. I just love her cleaner vocals..not straining..not singing an octave lower. IMO.
Stevie to me is a free spirit....not chained down like it seemed in 87-97.

I know what you're saying. Personally, I feel her worst touring years were 87 - 91 (and I'm not a huge fan of the latter part of the RAL tour either - unbridled energy is one thing, totally "out of it" is quite another.) I thought 94 was a huge comeback for her touring-wise, especially vocally. Even though she was singing in a lower range, her voice was really powerful.
So I agree with you to a point, but I think she became "unchained" again in 94 as opposed to 97.
