And I do like the high kick in the solo versions too. But yeah the way she sings it live totally kicks that studio version's ass. Hell I think I might be the only one to skip Stand Back on the Wild Heart (ducks)

The WoodStock version of SB is pretty amazing. I also the end, where she says something along the lines of "This is the time of your life" two times. That whole show is one of my favorites. She nails GDW and Rhiannon.

My favorite stand back live performance is on saturday night live (even though you can tell she is stoned) she sort of sings it like the live version...but it's different, and she really rocks it out

red rocks version isnt my favorite except for the instrumental part of it

nowadays...bleh it's overplayed
lol

I'm annoyed at how she says "All your life you've never seen a woman taken by the sky. Would you stay if she promised to you heaven, would you even try?" I prefer the studio version's "All your life you've never seen a woman taken by the wind. Would you stay if she promised to you heaven, will you ever win?"

"Will you ever win" is an important line in Rhiannon. The official title on the single version is Rhiannon (Will You Ever Win) so it baffles me that she doesn't sing that line live.

Yes! "Taken by the wind" is much more dramatic than "taken by the sky", in my opinion (but of course I'm not Stevie Nicks ) And, "will you ever win" is like a signature line for Rhiannon. I don't like those changes either.

Another one that bothers me is not really a lyric change, but she stretches the word "only" out to "on-a-ly" during GB at the 04 shows I saw. I can pretty much fly with whatever Stevie wants to throw out there, but that one really does grate. I don't want to sound like Lindsey with his grammar lessons, but "on-a-ly" is not a word. I guess you wouldn't say that to Bob Dylan, blah, blah, but it really did bug me.

I always loved the Solid Gold SB. I love how she changes the end of the last verse, "Well one man/Said that he could not stay/And I said, "Well darlin' goodbye/Yeah GO AWAY!"

Never heard he do it that way any other time!

LOVE that version too Sugar. Stevie looked way hot! I liked it because it was very close to the album version, but her performance was even better.
