On The Dance, she occasionally summoned that breathy quality that has since disappeared (e.g. the "rock on, ancient queen" section on GDW).
This is not just a problem in concert but on studio recordings as well. The only vocal variation of any significance that I can recall since The Dance was that rare moment of semi-falsetto on "Sorcerer".

I don't really know how to say this, but Stevie sang Landslide differently at the end. I will say that I believe she had more modulation and hope that that means something.
. I mean she would take a passage and make her voice go up and down more through the notes. It was different than she usually does it. You know how over-ambitious singers kind of draw out the National Anthem at base ball games? Well, Stevie seemed to draw out the notes in Landslide Sunday. Doing that she almost made me miss
my cue. But the experimentation was nice.
