I don’t think it ever occurred to anyone to clock these before. You’re a first, dear.

Giving her time to freshen her powder......

Not a fan of whatever that effect is on his guitar.... some sort of reverb or something... blech

I have no idea what it is technically but I call it “mirage tour Lindsey guitar” since it seems whatever it is is prevalent throughout the shows from that tour.

I don’t hate it and what I do like is that it’s one of those ways that the older tours/shows were distinguishable from one and other. As opposed to the modern era when Lindsey’s guitar sound from 2003 is essentially unchanged from 2015 or 2021.

Agree, I love the Mirage sound in general. Now, it's just generic.

Speaking of Rhiannon intros - when did Stevie drop the spoken word intro?

What tour includes the last known spoken intro of "This is a song about a Welsh Witch"?

I think it’s the longest Rhiannon intro I’ve heard (almost one minute). This intro is not in the Live at the Forum, Los Angeles included in the Deluxe edition. It is not in the video either. Was it cut or they actually didn’t play it?

Is this Rhiannon (or other songs) US festival version available in any audio edition?

The one at the Rumours {35th Anniversary Expanded Edition) or the (Live at Tucson, 8/28/80) from Tusk Deluxe are a bit similar but longs just around 15 seconds. I think this US Festival is one of the coolest intro I’ve heard.
