Time for a little anecdote: When my bud & I saw Stevie the first time since the release of "The Wild Heart," it was at the Irvine Meadows show. Tapes were circulating of the tour already, but I had them stacked up & waiting until after I saw the concert. I used to like surprises in those days. So we sat there watching Stevie kill the crowd . . . "Gold Dust Woman," "Outside the Rain," "I Need to Know," "Sara". . . & my friend turns to me & yells, "If she doesn't do 'If Anyone Falls,' we're leaving." I agreed with her joke about walking out if we didn't hear "If Anyone Falls."

And fuh-shizzz! It followed "Sara"!! And man was it good. And I've loved it ever since -- she couldn't even butcher it on the Timespace Tour! It withstood the 1991 Stevie!
