Well, to answer the question at hand, if I'm going to be totally honest I don't want to hear any of the songs she's been performing on her solo shows for the past 5 -10years. However, I need to be realistic. She will perform Dreams, GDW, Rhiannon, etc. I don't want to hear them but she will be performing them. I have a particular problem with present day live Rhiannon. If she's gonna do this song, she needs to seriously reinvent the performance. It's boring, stagnant, uninspired and dull...and has been for quite some time. My suggestion would be to revert back to the early FM arrangement, with a guitar solo in the middle. She could drift off to the side of the stage at the beginning of the solo and when the music slows, slink her back to the mic, being very dramatic with slow spins. Of course it won't be like 1977 but she could very easily recreate the style of those performances. Switch up the tired Rhiannon sleeves for a floor length sparkly cape and we're in business.
