And, as we know, she was suffering some time of bronchial/asthma-type problem that night, which lead to them re-dubbing a good portion of the vocals for later broadcasts of the show.

So, basically, I'm thinking she was probably struggling, health-wise, that entire week.

I didn't know her 1994 HOB concert had been partially redubbed, but indeed it sounds a bit too perfect in some portions. Anyway, I love it, especially for her Destiny, Talk To Me, Blue Denim, The Chain, Rooms On Fire performances

Is it just an impression or Stevie seems always a bit tense on Leno shows? With Letterman she's usually much more playful and relaxed. Well, it could be because they had been married , but besides that, there's more feeling with him, IMO.

Partially? 99% of it was overdubbed. Listening to the uncut broadcast and the cleaned up broadcast is like listening to two totally different concerts. But I like them both.

There are a couple of songs that I recall being exactly the same on both recordings.

I'm pretty sure "Destiny" was one of them, but I haven't listened to my cassette of the live broadcast in a while.

I do remember thinking that she didn't sound bad... just overly husky. I was actually surprised they bothered to overdub at all.

There's not one song that is exactly the same. No way.

She sounded pretty wretched but I liked it for some reason. She didn't sound husky, she sounded scratchy and as if she had just drunk a gallon of Southern Comfort and followed it with a pack of Kools before going onstage. I'm not surprsied they overdubbed it, I wouldn't want a performance of mine that sounded like that to be broadcast all over national radio months after the fact.

Rhiannon is COMPLETELY overdubbed. You can even hear the original live recording underneath the new dub.

I remember reading about this stalker in some obscure place online and thinking: Why isn't this juicy bit reported all over the news? It would help prepetuate the Stevie myth/aura and also give her a little more spotlight and thus perhaps sell some more albums and concert tickets. I mean, haven't we all had that Anne Murray-stalker story crammed down our throats for years? And is/was she really even stalk worthy?
Also, I don't need Stevie's help to turn me straight (as being gay is probably the best thing that coulda happened to me, otherwise I'd be some sort of right-wing Republican war pig like my dad and his dad and....) and, I did pretty good with turning gay on my own, but I'm 35 and I still have acne. Do you think her powers could help with that? Do I have to kidnap her for this help, or is a request sent to Ask Stevie at the Nicksfix sufficient?

Dude, i've taken accutane treatment twice and a half and i still have acne! Are you italian? hehehe. I don't know the spell for that! bane of my existence.
Anyways, the flying monkeys sound....adventurous? exuberant? do they relay messages for you? cause leprechauns are notoriously taciturn..
Gawd, are there any straight ledgie males? just kidding. congrats on being gay. It sure would've made my life easier if i was. too bad about your family do they care that you're gay?

[ricohv]

Ughh-I did Acutane once and it dehydrated me so bad I thought my body was going to pucker itself inside out. I remember on one occasion -after a long night of concert going/heavy drinking-falling asleep on the bus ride home. When I woke up my eyelids were stuck to my eyes and I literally had to squirt saline solution on my eyes to get them to open easily. Weird. I couldn't imagine going thru that treatment twice. But girls have to worry about getting pregnant and having 2 headed babies or whatever.
Oops, I digress.
I shall fire off my request to Ask Stevie asap. If she charges for her witchery services I will try to get us a group discount, Amber!

yeah, i had to put carmex on every five seconds while i was taking it. but i was pleasantly suprised that, instead of having to wash my greasy ass hair every day, I hardly ever HAD to wash it on accutane...i wasn't drinking or smoking then, or anything, so i didn't have any huge debacles like you! I was stoked, i wish i could have it all the time. It's insanely expensive, though (thanks mom and dad!)
I'm sure Stevie will deny all witch powers, unfortunately...

[ricohv]

I forgot about the constantly cracking lips! It made me want to never have a facial expression. Was Christine was on accutane in the Dance video?
And the expense! I was self employed then so I just didn't bother paying quarterly taxes...twice! And I agree, I don't think Stevie would admit these powers. She might be a little big for her (theoretical) britches. Perhaps if the SYW tour sold in proportion to the album, she might need a little "ching ching" and wouldn't be so hesitant to peddle her skills on the Nicksfix, info-mercials, Psychic hotline, etc.!

@ christine on accutane.
and Stevie's theoretical britches. And thank goodness, she will never do those commercials!
you probably have to know her to be privy to her spells...

[ricohv]

And if my only means of getting to know her is through her anwers to Ask Stevie, I'm hopeless. What a vicious circle. Now I see what she meant by Then she said do not break the chain. It's not about chain-letters or chain-gangs after all!

dude, don't even get the people here started about her answers on Ask Stevie. and yes, you're right, it just means stevie thinks in constant, and predictable patterns and circles I like it, but...
she's answered some ledgie's questions, but not mine, which is very important:
Me: "during seven wonders, are you saying 'nevah' or 'sara' or 'tara' or...(during the wafty bridge)?"
there's some other theories i forget....but inquiring minds definitely want to know! maybe i should ask Penguin to ask John

[ricohv]

Ewwww-the Seven Wonders bridge-word-debate goes on. I remember chiming in on this one several times. And I remember some people went so far as to swear she was saying "pharoah". I said this before (and I'm gonna stand by it), I swear that I remember reading awhile back (who knows where?) that she herself said the word is Tara, tying in with her whole Gone with the Wind thang. Pharoah makes more sense and be would be more literal to the song, so clearly that is not Stevie's style.
Hmm, what was this thread originally about again?!?

No.Way. Tara? No. but ok. yeah. but still, clearly, it's a question she should really answer!
I vote for Nevah, again.

[ricohv]

asking the Penguin to ask John-Amber you crack me up. But oh yeah, she never answered mine either: Are you surpised at the level of fan interest in/reaction to your footwear, i.e. platform boots vs. orthopedic tennies?
