I also agree it was not a big deal and would be natural to have a little jealousy. It had to drive the other members crazy that Stevie was getting the lion share of the applause (direct quote from Rolling Stone 1982). Stevie's Rhiannon dance wearing thin on Lindsey in New Zealand in 1980. But post cocaine Stevie turned it way down especially after Lindsey left. Stevie made sure to not do long walks along the audience and stayed on stage for many more songs than her cocaine years. Klonopin also assisted in this mission with Stevie fading into the background of the band.
Anyone agree with me that Chris gives Steive side eye when she comes on stage for YMLF on the HBO Mirage show.

I don't know. I would have liked to see what Stevie was doing at that moment 0:15

I remember many ledgies were disappointed with Stevie’s Rhiannon performance in The Dance, because of her lack of energy, she was more calm, slow, etc. compared with her 70s and Mirage shows. I wasn’t. I understand she decide to take care of her voice, her health, etc. She was sober by 1997 so it was easier for her to control herself. Yes she was so effusive, emotional, full of energy singing during that great 70s era. But also out of control many times. It is easy to realize those shows damaged her voice in the long term. And let’s remember when we commented about the mistakes she made at the 1982 US festival, like forgetting to get back in time to the microphone, etc. You can't control everything when you're doing cocaine, and it always gets worse. So by 1997 she couldn’t repeat those mistakes.

By the way, my favorite Rhiannon is where she sings Is that what you want from me!!! I love that line. It’s in Tusk Deluxe, I guess it is Tucson 1980.

I agree it's impossible, without seeing the others, to say whether Christine is giving Stevie (or someone else) side eye.

My impression, hampered as it is absent such context, is that someone on stage does something that catches Christine's attention and causes her to glance over.

ahhhh ok thanks for ruining my Stevie moment




If I could freeze that screen with Chris the bubble over her head would say "Dear Lord here she comes again out of the tent banging that bloody contraption again. I hope she remembered to wipe her nose this time HBO cameras are all over the place."

It looks more like she's checking, "Places everybody!" I'm about to sing...

Not sure, but she looks deeply focused in the song, then a brief glimpse over to the band.

She looks down at her hands (sometimes) especially on that song because of the quick changes. It's part of why I love watching her play. She's a total pro.

Just my impression, mind you – nothing declarative. Carry on as you were.
