Whatever it was, she never really gained it back, though she still thrilled with much of RAL, some of TOSOTM and SA, and The Dance - actually SS from The Dance and the GDW howl are amongst her finest moments ever and they were, of course, after that BD, Mirage, WH voice. She also dazzled my with Sleeping Angel on the Enchanted Tour - but the dazzle came from a different place than the album cut. I hope that made sense

IMO the closest she has come to that early 80's voice was on her harmony to Say Goodbye on the SYW your, though she was great if not stellar on BC.
