Back in the early days of the Ledge it was decided that the Dance was actually not totally live. Stevie once in an interview let it slip up that they were recording for 6 weeks or something before the Dance. Some of that might have been plain old rehearsal. But If you watch a lot of the video the lips don't match the vocals sometimes. There used to be a list of times but I know several instances where Stevie is supposed to be singing, cuz you can hear her, but her lips are nowhere near a microphone. True, they might have taken shots from one night and vocals from another. But the fact that all the vocals are spot on for the entire show make it seems TOO perfect, especially when you compare the vocals on all the live bootlegs from that tour. The vocals had to of been recorded in a controlled way over a longer period of time. Also, notice how the microphone always conveniently covers entire lips or cuts away at consonants or at the end of lines. You never actually, or seldom, see lines of vocals end.
In fact, I think this is actually what Stevie did during all that time in Nashville after/or before Soundstage. Nothing is live anymore! Not even at Redrocks or TITN
