The other 'How Still' most memorable for me is the 1983 US Festival; out in the desert somewhere in California. It was vividly mesmerizing to watch and listen to her do this song , which I wasn't expecting to hear. i think it holds up very well on the US Festival tapes, yet to see and hear it during a time when she was at a career zenith was quite extraordinary. That night she also did a fantastic 'Angel' and in those days it was really something to see Stevie live, because her live performances (for me) always far surpassed her studio recordings and there were quite a lot of surprising' i never thought she'd sing that song, but she did!' moments, that disappeared sometime right after 'Rock A Little'.....

You mean,........After she sobered up!
