Street Angel tour: best recording?

[blinker12]

The Street Angel tour is maybe my favorite of Stevie's solo tours. She was in such fine voice, newly sober (having just kicked Klonopin) and was singing with more passion and conviction than she had since (IMO) 1982. I saw her in Cuyahoga Falls (near Cleveland).
Anyway, I was wondering if someone could recommend the best bootlegged show from this tour, in terms of sound quality, Stevie's performance, etc. Thanks!

IMO "Welcome To My World" (House of Blues, 9-17-94) is the best boot from the tour. Nice performance, & great sound quality since it was a radio broadcast. Get the unedited version if you can, since it includes Blue Denim.

I agree with EnchantedSLN that the Westwood One show listed above is (obviously) the best sound quality.

I think the best performances were Holmdel NJ, Las Vegas NV, & Sacramento CA.

I agree with the ones posted above, but I'd throw in opening night in Boston, too. Great sound quality and it includes the only performance of How Still My Love on that tour.

Her voice was just great on this tour. Interestingly, La Nicks was smoking (both figuratively and literally) at the time. Go figure.

i just downloaded a show from Jones Beach that had HSML on it too.

Yeah, I forgot about that. I never listen to that show because each disc is all one track and I don't have the patience.

I also like the Ohio State Fair show (8-20-94). Decent sound on that one, too.

you need to download cd wave so you can split the tracks yourself and then make a new cd with separate tracks. it's really easy....just takes a few minutes.

I find the Welcome To My World recording to be suspect, as there were serious overdubs - especially on "Rhiannon". This was recorded at the second night of a HOB stand. I went the first night, and stayed home the second as the concert was being broadcast live on the radio. I taped the radio broadcast - which had some very weak vocals, especially on "Rhiannon". Voila - it goes out as a Westwood One show and the vocals are spectacular, but you can actually hear the original vocal underneath the powerful overdub if you listen closely. It sounds great, it just isn't truly "live".

I believe what's circulating as the "unedited version" (that includes Blue Denim) was taken from the radio broadcast you mentioned, & contains Stevie's live vocals before they were touched up for broadcast as a Westwood One show. (David?)
