Sisters... so what do we think?

[louielouie2000]

I think this totally deserves it's own thread. Now that we've got an MP3 version of Sisters Of The Moon, what are everyone's initial impressions?

When the song first started it gave me the chills, I think her older voice actually totally works for it. I was somewhat disappointed when she skipped to a lower key for the chorus, but that was very much expected. I think the song more or less sounds exactly the way it should: it's dark, spooky, and still rocks. I think it might actually be better than I thought it would be.

Now for my big disappointments: I really hoped Lindsey would share a verse like in the old days. Something about his singing a verse really drove the song home in my opinion. The only other thing I wish they'd tweak is that the song really needs a stand alone guitar solo. I think the loss of both of these elements makes the song seem a bit anticlimactic. It just seems rushed. Sharon & Lori are a bit too understated, too... I love the backing vocals I can hear, though!

Those nitpicky things aside, I totally understand how this song would be more than a bit intimidating for Stevie, however. It is the song her fans obsess over most. It's her most iconic live song of all time. It's utterly representative of her out of control cocaine use. I'm shocked Stevie agreed to ever perform it again. Which is more than likely why she's rushing through the performance. Still, I'm so glad it's in the setlist, and I hope it stays.
