Thrown Down...live

Anyone got a boot of RTTG? I'm interested how Lindsey handled the lead guitar in that one, since it's pretty sped up in the studio version. It's such a hyper-active guitar tone in that one.

Heres the video:

This is in fact better quality than the audio boot circulating around:

Thanks!

I can sorta see why they dropped it. Maybe it's just me but it seemed like it was a bit of a flat performance. Could be the video I suppose, might have been different for those there. Stevie sounds a bit bored.

Sadly....as she did for most of that tour. What a shame.

Stevie looked and sounded very bored for most of the tour, so I wouldn't single out this performance. I think they did a decent job of the song. Songs are dropped for various reasons: Time contraints, fatigue, or at the whim of the performer. Yeah, casual fans might not like hearing songs they don't know (Why?? It's supposed to a show, not your favorite play list).

They performed a good portion of songs from Say You Will right off the bat. But they never gave Running Through The Garden a chance. Stevie is frustratingly comfortable singing the same songs she's sung for 20-plus years...she can do that in her sleep. She apparently doesn't want to put the effort into singing too many new songs. Aside from a few performances of Destiny Rules, Stevie stuck with just two new songs for that tour. Lindsey, on the other hand continually sang 4 to 5 new songs. I wish Stevie would catch some of Lindsey's inspiration...she needs it.

not really - she did BC, SYW, and GB - she also resurrected Sara. I think she was ill for most of the first part of the tour. There was a noticeable bust of energy after the first leg (where her feet appeared glued to the gorund) and she was on fire by the third leg. I remember reading she had hurt her hip and I am sure the menopause did not help.
