I feel like that just takes away from the drama/meaning of the original lyric....

sometimes less is more... in this case... I'd definitely prefer less.

Gah, that's one of my favorites! I love it because it shows a vulnerability.

I don't like it when her adlibs became part of the song (i.e. the Rhiannon ending and OTR "Mick said" part)...I still love those parts, but they don't seem as special as they once were. They became predictible.

I agree with this 100%.

as I said earlier...I like the switches. just stevie-STOP speaking them!!!

yep--and that's what I was agreeing to... adlib away--just don't speak them--sing them

There are loads of proffesionally edited clips from the Timespace tour splashed all over the net. Those ones with the frozen image at the begginging are particulaly annoying. Does anyone know anything about these? Are these from are "Timespace Live" video that never ended up being released like so many e.g. Melbourne?

I absolutely agree, it really brings it down.

At the Dance show in Chicago, Stevie completely forgot some of the lyrics to "Stand Back" and Lindsey and Christine were laughing. I love listening to that performance because it brings me back to that evening. If Stevie wouldv'e just looked down into the crowd -- everyone was singing them for her!

Could you post that version of Stand Back??? I would LOOOOVE to hear it...

Much Love,
