Stevie's most intense song

editormarf · #1 11-02-2006, 02:40 PM

Or maybe I should say the one she sings with the most passion? I just got through listening to the Silver Springs cut on the Rumours bonus CD, and the way she sings this just brings chills, especially her voice at the very end...this is seconded only by her performance of SS on The Dance

I'm just curious about what my fellow Ledgies think is her most intense studio song?

Have you heard the live version from 77?? Kansas City I believe. Strand brought that one to my attention and I literally cried the first time I heard it.

studio?? I'm going to have to think about this one.

Obviously Beauty and the Beast. I'll think of others.

Haven't heard that one--sounds fabulous!

I can't post it, but maybe some very nice person will post it for you. It blows the dance out of the water. (on edit...the quality of the recording isn't great...but every thing else is brilliant)

I've not heard the one from the rumours bonus. Is it the same one from The Very Best of FM?? or is it a live version?

It's an extended and less polished version of what you hear on TVBOFM. It's my second favorite though. The Dance version is my #1, but I might change my mind if I ever get my hands on that live version you mentioned.

Sisters Of The Moon Live '82 (Mirage video taping) with the Tokyo '77 version of Rhiannon running a close second. The latter must be seen on video to be fully appreciated.

ON EDIT: I see you were looking for studio songs. In that case I'd still have to say Sisters Of The Moon and Gold Dust Woman.

I guess studio versions would be hard to figure on. and after all, the Dance was live

Now that I think of it SOTM was really terrific, both live and studio. That Mirage video was something else--definitely vintage Stevie

I think Twisted is pretty intense and, though it was written for the movie, it is, to me, sooooo about she and LB being twisted by fate (the arms of the storm) - a la what she said about Thrown Down, which also is pretty intense.

Also - here are two live versions of SS from 77. A video of this would be, to say the least, awe inspiring. But, to my knowledge, none exist.

I like Twisted, but it doesn't really strike an intense chord in me. I'd go with Silver Springs... it's practically overwhelming, especially the old demos/live performances. I like the outtake on the Rumours second disc the best. And the one on The Dance.

And SOTM. Intense silence and all of that.
