Stevie can still sing, but Rhiannon and Dreams must be forbidden for her, because she forgot the dynamics for those songs.

Personally, I feel Stevie's sometime "lack of committment" is most obvious on Rhiannon. I almost wish she'd stop singing it. And if any song needs a new arrangement, it's this one. I thought for sure they would change it somehow, someway but no. It's been sung the same, with both FM and solo, since The Dance. The only change is the addition of the piano intro. I know she's not gonna sing it like she did in the 70's anymore, but they could do a similiar arrangement, with the long solo in the middle, and it would at least feel like it's new and different. It's one of Stevie's biggest hits, yet it always feels like it's being rushed. And I'm sick of those sleeves, too!!
