Rhiannon from the SYW tour

[SteveMacD]

Honestly, I haven't enjoyed "Rhiannon" live since the "Tusk" tour. Every other version has been boring by comparison. Cutting out the jam really killed the song for me. Actually, my favorite version is when Christine had a bluesy solo right after Lindsey's killer guitar solo, a la Midnight Special 1975. But they cut that out pretty early on.

I love her doing Rhiannon and hope she always does. Some years I like it better than others, but I enjoy hearing how it changes. I love it on the Mirage concert video ("...you don't change, and baby I don't change, and it's all the same, Rhiannon..."). I love some of the really wild 70's versions of it (that Japan concert one - wowzers!). I loved it at the White Winged Dove tour. Is that the first time she started it slow? That was just amazing back when it first came out, and I still love it starting slow like that.

It's just neat to hear the changes in it. And hey, it gives us more versions to acquire to keep our favorites on our Nicks Mix tapes and cds that we make.

I will always want to see Rhiannon- Dreams is the one I could say goodbye to. While I don't think Stevie gets as into Rhiannon as she used to, it still is a very powerful song for me.

Exactly.
Though the LIB version is a huge improvement over The Dance's.
