One thing that bothers me about Stevies Live Performances

AliceLover · #1 07-14-2005, 10:26 PM

It really bothers me that we know every show Stevie is going to do a twirl or dance or something on a certain song. Like everyone knows she'll twirl on Stand Back, do the pose on GDW, Twirl on edge, kick on stand back. Why can't she mix it up. Do a kick or two on edge, do a couple spins on dreams, do some funky shawl dance on Stop Draggin? Anything.......... Its always the same...... I mean i wouldn't want her to stop doing these things all together but her variety has seriously decreased over the years.

ehhh my 2 cents....

A common lament, I'm sure. I'm glad she's doing some new songs this tour, so I can see some "new moves". I love when she does those things, but I tend to agree. I really want to see some new moves for GDW, for some reason.

i miss the cute little dance she did on the in concert video during golden braid. with her tambourine and high kicks. so hot.

I Like when she spinned on GDW for the TISL tour very nice!

She did a cool thing on Enchanted at my 05 show. It was like a big spin when the guitar part kicked in, during the middle.

I remember that, you can barely see her. She doesn't have those big things in front of the stage anymore does she? She didn't in mansfield but I remember them for TISL.

I totally agree with this. That is the one thing I liked about the 80s shows...the songs were sung with plenty of ad-libs, and there was no telling what she was going to do (RAL tour, especially)...I love live shows usually because they are impromptu...surprises all the time...I don't want to know she is going to kick here, or take the mic out of the stand during this line, or Lindsey is going to put his hand under his chin at this point..."play the way you feel it"....I believe in that.

the Bristow "Gold Dust Woman" from last sunday was the best!! she was in this what appeared to be trance-like state.. grabbing her hair, messing it up intentionally, looking all stoned and confused... it was soooo good

That sounds cool, I heard she was like talking about snow and stuff. I found a little clip from Cleveland of 04 on GDW and she does a lot of funky stuff at the end. I also like the end of GDW on the dance.

that kind of performance is part of a routine - something i would expect from Madonna or Cher or Britney.. not our precious Stevie

Now this sounds awesome, I hope someone filmed it! Not that I want her to
"be" stoned, but I have to admit one of my fav live video performances is the Mirage Sisters...it is wicked cool~Barbara

Yea too bad it isnt like that anymore.

I basically knew every move she was going to make at my concert I went to.

it was the best performance of the night... a close second would be "Sorcerer", which i am CONVINCED has now become the new "pot" song... at the very beginning of it, the background visuals show puffs of smoke covering the screen... hmmm.. i wonder where that smoke came from.. Stevie's bong perhaps?
