I tried posting to this thread yesterday, then realised although I've been reading this forum for a while now, I'd never signed up..
Anyway- on the note of Stevie sounding bad on Rhiannon and Dreams, I was watching some of the Tusk rehearsals last night, and while Dreams was good, Rhiannon was awful (I think it was in the concert itself also). The only times she hits the high notes are at the end, with 'Taken by, taken by the sky' and possibly 'Rhiannon!'. She literally sang most of the song an octave lower (I assume a lot of the Nicks criticism now is about the lower singing too?).
Given this was back in '79, it seems unfair to say these days she's 'suddenly not singing the oldies like she used to'. Singers have good times and bad times quite often, and in any case Rhiannon started to sound bad as far back as 30 years ago, IMHO.
Ooh, and I buy Tulsa 'Unleashed' tickets today!!! w00t! I'm so glad I moved from Australia in time to see them..

i think we got more chance of a RAL Rhiannon than a SOTM reprisal

Who decided SOTM wasn't going to be played any more? They always rock it out live, it sounds so much better than Storms or Rhiannon or a lot of Stevie's numbers. And she always does it *right*. The one time I actually feel like Stevie inhabits her 'witch' persona. I'm a guy and I think that song's cool!
