Yup. Stevie's *songs* will never fail to move and inspire me, but her performances of them for approx the last 10 years (with a few exceptions) have seemed empty to me. Many times I have left her shows wishing she at least appeared more emotionally present. I really believe it is a result of just too much touring with not enough new material. The way she felt when she wrote these songs (and first began singing them) can't possibly be the way she feels about them now. I would certainly hope not, anyway. But the music itself has taken me through so many situations in life; romances, deaths, loss, etc and for that, I will always be grateful to her. I'll probably still continue to see her when I'm able to, but I have come to expect less from her, performance wise.
