I hope you went - even if you don't agree.

It might have actually been a hit single had her Street Angel vocal contained the passion of this version. For me, both this song and Destiny came alive on this tour. I remember thinking the same thing about Twisted when I finally heard it live, and there have been concerts when I thought the vocal on one of her classics surpassed that of the album version.

This is my dream scenario for Stevie's next album: I wish she would liberate 15 songs from her vault, rehearse them with her band to a playable level, and take them on the road for a short intimate venue tour (for fans only, secret club dates, whatever). Then, take the same band into the studio immediately and record whatever worked best, however it worked best. And naturally carry this cycle to its conclusion by taking these same people on the road.
