Dreams - thunder only happens when it's raining.
Dreams - Crystal visions
Dreams - so there you go again.

This is hillarious!

I think that it is funny that you posted this today, because I auditioned for American Idon hear in arizona today, and I sang dreams. But of course whenever people would ask "what are you gonna sing?"
I'd say "dreams" by fleetwood mac, and theyd stare at me blankly. but the moment that I said "thunder only happens when its raining" theyd go OH yeah!

Anyway, to bring it back to the thread, I love the "White rhiannon"
from the Mirage tour and espescially the vocals and lyrics on the video." I DON'T CHANGE AND YOU DON'T CHANGE...ALL THE SAME....IF I DON'T CHANGE THEN YOU WON'T CHANGE RHIANNON...." Which is also funny, cause Rhiannon seems to change every tour! They are all good in their own way though..IMHO.

That's what a lot of people think it is, anyway.

The piano intro is excellent - the rest of it, I skip.

The pace is droning. It plods and drags and the song can't be saved from the crippling backdrop of being played too slowly.

The vamp has been gutted. It is rushed through. The end has very little in terms of dynamics, and I am not just talking about her voice. Just thinking about it now, I want to play the Tuscaloosa BN version, which is nearly punk rock, and blown through in about 4 minutes.

This song is an old grey mare that keeps getting trotted out onto the track, but never makes it for a full lap. I can barely tolerate it. It is painful for me to listen to it. The old versions are among my favorite performances of Stevie's career. On the flip side, so was the recent version of BATB. Of course she can still crank out a stellar performance. Just not with that song.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plus, in Vegas, she BELTED Rock and Roll much higher and faster than Rhiannon. As Chili pointed out, if she can do it then, she can do it for Rhainnon. Personally, I think she is bored to tears singinging it these day and it shows.

The best Rhiannon Ive heard in over 10 years was the one I just dowloaded from the July 26th LA show. Its freaking incredible. The Dance and Live in Boston combined dont match this one. And I got to say this. Lindsey doesnt freaking know how to play Rhiannon live anymore. His guitar work to me is quite atrocious on Rhiannon, which is weird because he's the guy who played on the absolutely stunning studio version with its amazing guitar playing, but hes never been able to duplicate that greatness live. Rick Vito was much better at playing Rhiannon live, and I hate hate hate saying this, but so is Waddy. Now im not talking about his solos on the song. His solos were always amazing. But he stopped doing them and now were left with hime butchering the guitar parts that he freaking created.

Agreed. But the yell at the end of Sorcerer from that show? WOW!

That whole performance of Sorcerer is fantastic. I usually cringe when she sings that song live, but ho****, it's the best one I've heard yet.

A really, really great boot. The quality is superb, as is most of her performance.

I think it's the best boot of the tour. The performance and the quality just put it way above all the rest, IMO.

We haven't heard the final show yet.

Since most, if not all of the fans have not heard the last show, I thought that was understood. I didn't think I had to qualify it by saying " of the ones we've heard so far"

I also read some of the reviews and a lot of fans said they had seen a few shows and didn't think it was her best performance, so that also had something to do with my remark.

But, I'll wait until I hear the last one and say....

I think it's the best boot of the tour...so far ! IMO, the performance and the quality just put it way above all of the ones I've heard...so far !

How's that?

Try listening to Chicago June 26th 03 boot. Prob best rhiannon boot from the SYW tour. I agree Rick Vito was better at playing rhiannon compared to Lindseys recent work on it (dance, SYW). But LIndsey had some killer parts on the tusk tour.

Ive heard that Chicago boot. Its average to me. And yes I agree about Lindsey's guitar playing on the Tusk tour, but starting with Mirage the music to the song while Lindsey is the guitar player has just been all wrong.
