* NO live TV/Grammy version, no bootlegs, NO Rosebud, NO pre 1997 recordings, NO Taylor Swift version. Only the official post 1996 recorded and mass produced by Warner/Modern/Reprise records.

My vote is Live in Boston. I think the organ parts come out a lot more, the presence of Lindsey on vocals and the fact that its a "Fleetwood Mac" version and not a "solo" performance make it great. I wish Christine was on it though. The Dance version was good, but seemed a bit dull and there was something dragging about the beat that made it seem off to me. Even if Stevie's voice was a little better able to handle the higher notes at that time and a little "sweeter".

I think any Rhiannon past about '79 is painful to listen to

Grammys 2010.

It's ART people. Organicalismal art that transcends the ogligatarianism of the mainstream soultraptitude. It's a series of cyclismals, and you people just don't get it!

None of the above.

YOU fail for even having the GALL to presume that a post-Dance "Rhiannon" is even worth listening to in any way-shape or form.

I will comply with the rules and tell ya that I think that the Crystal Visions version of Rhiannon rocks. I love it...my favorite track on the CD.

My vote is for Live in Chicago.

Not because of the audio, but because of the video. Love the outfit and the tophat! LOL. At least she was trying to give us some of the 70's Rhiannon with the outfit in that performance.

I like the disclaimer you added.

I'm going to go with Live in Boston although I like all of the above. I picked LIB because I prefer to hear the FM arrangement over solo...plus one of my favorite parts is Christine's keyboards after the middle of the song when it slows down. On the LIB performance you can hear Brett playing this part...but for some reason Christine did not seem to be playing these licks on the Dance performance of maybe they were buried in the mix?

I also could do without the piano slowed down version which they conveniently (for me) did not do on the SYW Tour.

Soundstage and Crystal Visions are my favorite.

hehe i'll go with Live In Boston. From when she sings the bridge: "dreams unwind, loves a state of mind" to the end, it's pure genius. I could watch it over and over again!*sings "Everyday"* LOL

Live In Boston is pretty sexy, although CV is awesome in its own right.

I actually love almost every version of Rhiannon there is. It is the once Stevie song I can never get enough of. And I read in another post where someone said she should retire Rhiannon, but honestly, if I went to a Stevie concert and she didn't do Rhiannon, I'd be way let down. It is hard to pick which is my favorite because they are all different and amazing in their own way, but I'm going to have to go with the one from Soundstage.
