Your signature pic seems to be from the final leg of the Tusk Tour. Which night? Could somebody find out? Research the August material.

I thought more along the lines of the Mirage tour because she appears to be fuller figured than on the Tusk tour. But, I could be wrong and often am

I thought it was from Mirage, too. I'd be interested if anyone knows for sure.

I wasn't sure if that was a braid or not.

I love photos of Stevie where she is not making the usual "pose".

I think it is Mirage. Judging from the jacket, the hat, her face.

yeah, me too.

I think we should post our favorite versions. And our favorite versions of How Still My Love. Another great gem.

Kansas City, MO 1983 is superb.

Sharon's vocals on this one are amazing.

Austin, TX 1983 is another of my favorites.

I love this song, of course. Tuesday vegas.
I just wanted to repeat my theory that her voice gets better for BATB - I've not heard a bad boot of it. But whether there is a bad one or not, I've noticed that her voice could ripped up during other songs, and then it's time for BATB and suddenly her voice is more clear and steady, and her range is expanded.
It's a great live song for her.
I've been listening to the tape of her w/tom petty when she first shows him BATB, and at the beginning it has her describing the movie and how she felt about it - sounds like she just came from it recently, had seen it with Tom - and you can hear in her voice how much the movie entranced her and gave her something to think about. It's lovely.

I have never heard of this! Is there any way you could you post it, Amber?

don't you think that might be due to the song itself? it's languid & peaceful & not really something that a vocalist would tear through.

I haven't heard that in a long time, but I would question whether that Tom is Tom Petty.

She used to do tons of demos with another guy named Tom, who played bass & sang.

In other news, i think last year's release of "La Belle" by Cocteau from Criterion should have had a live rendition of Stevie on it as one of the 2nd disc extras. I mean ... why not? Criterion would have been happy to sell 100,000 more of those discs.

Yeah, I'll post it when I get home.
David - it sounds like Tom Petty's voice, and whoever it is is playing guitar trying to learn it, but you're probably right. I wouldn't know.
And no, I don't think it is totally because of the song. If that were true, there are other songs I should notice the same phenom during, but I haven't.
I'm not sure I would totally call the song languid and peaceful. Languid yet intense? There's a fair range in the song, as well.

I was just listening to Vegas 5.13 performance and holy hell...it's amazing.

Anyone got audio from Melbourne for this?

I just finished watching this earlier today. I adore her- bottom line. An I actually think B&TB is one of my absolute favorite Stevie songs.
