WOW- the sound is incredible! Is this from the video? Does the rest of the concert exist with this sound quality?

If this is from the video, I can hardly recognize it because the sound is so amazing!

thanks!

Someone on YouTube said that Stevie looked and sounded horrible during this performance.

I guess he must have lost his eyes and ears to flying shrapnel!

Her voice bends the melody more than once in this version. But, I do like it.

For me, the Tusk doc Sara is the finest example.

I also like the Madison, WI one from the SYW show.

For me the real meat of Sara is the vocal ad lib at the end. The Melborne 1980 version is my absolute favorite. When she does the "All I ever wanted" part at the end I get chills. There's also a performance from Cleveland that was an off night, she's off key in most of the song, starts a few seconds late at the beginning, it's really messed up most of the way through, but when she gets to the end and she sings, "It never really died, never really died, oooh it was such a heartbeat" it just breaks your heart, becasue something in the way she sings it carries the ache of that statement. So even with all the little problems with that version I still love to listen to it.

This version from the Belladonna tour is nice but she really skips out at the end, sort of phoning in the "All I ever wanted" part and runs off for a costume change.

I know this one. for me it's when she and the way she says "heartbeat" that gets me. sigh.

That's it!!! Exactly. I found that one online about a year or so ago and I was listening to it on the way to a memorial for a friend. He had died suddenly under tragic circumstances and they were having this service for him. So I was driving there and that version of Sara was playing and when she gets to the part of "oh it was such a heartbeat" I totally lost it. We often think of our departed friends as never really leaving us, and therefore a heartbeat that never really dies. So it just seemed so appropriate for that moment.

I absolutely love the song Sara. It is a beautiful song to me personally... I love playing it when I'm by myself, and I try to sing it, but then I always end up messing up....

Much Love,
