I agree, Stevie's overdubs on Everywhere were awkward, but it sounded less severe live. (I thought her harmonic "wells" during the chorus of Isn't it Midnight enhanced the song.) She's Stepford Stevie in the video - very controlled and mannered - but she was much more spontaneous and spirited during the performances I saw.
I wish the video had the entire show, because I feel the abbreviated set list is somewhat lethargic.

Firstly I had no idea that these where overdubs..., i knew that the close up's were re filmed and pasted on as on the red rocks dvd.
I agree with you on isn't it midnight as well, possibly the stand out of the whole dvd imo. and stevie does enhance it with the wells.
I also like the kind of haunting echoey sound of dreams and gold dust woman, but Seven Wonders sounds more like a country song to me on this dvd.
It's way too slow...
I totally get what you mean about abbreviatted set lists on dvd's, it's thoroughly annoying... can you imagine the red rocks dvd with i can't wait and the wild rhiannon she did on that tour.
And what about the filmed White winged dove performance from LA in 1981, it would have been awesome to have blue lamp and how still my love on that video/dvd....
Why do they do it to us!!!!
