Stevie, '75 vs. '77

[Rickypt]

I recently got DVD of a '75 FM concert in Largo and '77 Japan concert/Rosebud film. Which I'm sure you've all seen a million times, but brand new to me (except for the Rhiannon clip).

I notice a remarkable change in Stevie between the '75 and '77 performances. In '75, she is wearing pants, seems a bit awkward onstage, and her moves are rather hippiesh. I love her in this video!

In '77, she seems to have fully developed her "persona", with the skirts, spins, spacey moves, and she is totally confident.

Also, as much as I love current Stevie, watching the '05 Las Vegas show after seeing these performances is rather
