Favorite 2013 Live Performances...Volume 2

[bethelblues]

Everyone knew I'm So Afraid would be great. Lindsey doesn't disappoint. But boy is Stevie totally rocking Gold Dust Woman! I know we said a few months ago that it is one of the songs the band is still performing as well as ever (along with The Chain, Big Love, etc.), but is it possible Stevie has even surpassed that expectation?? She has been going for notes on that song and just getting in a trance throughout the 9-minute performance; it's fantastic, with the drawn out ending. I only wish some of the other songs (ahem Sisters of the Moon ahem) were evolving over the course of the tour, and that Stevie might go for a few high notes on one of the other songs too (Gypsy).

Now that we know Mick said one of the London shows will be taped. I'm hoping Stevie brings that same fire to Gold Dust Woman to be captured for posterity.
