Two gripes about this tour.

Rhiannon has been a snooze forever, even at the beginning of this tour, but I have to say that the last west coast shows I saw had her picking up the end a great deal. I don't know what she was like vocally, but she was frenzied, waving her head and shaking her hands in a rushed manner. I thought to myself that her energy evoked Rhiannons of the past.

I stopped in the middle of my knitting, looked over at her and thought, "Wow!"

I'm happy to hear that! Frenzy, head waving and shaking hands, all rushed-- that sounds like it looked like vintage Stevie. Love the imagery of you knitting at a concert! (The ending of 'Rhiannon' on the SA tour i thought was killer...
'and wouldn't you love...wouldn't you luh-hhuve...wouldn't you lovv-vuh,
to-who love herrr" and then crouching down, holding her gaze defiantly... so sexy, and torchy, and way more musically correct to all of the preceding lyrics than the gawd-awful 'dont leave me now'...ick

I shoduz complain a lot.
