What! Stevie rubbing her thighs! I bet that cause a stir. I don't guess you mean vitamin E.

Here it is. I just uploaded it, so it may be a few minutes until it's working. This is from Wednesday 5/11/05 in Las Vegas, the second of the 4 shows.

Again, nothing could capture the magic of opening night, but I'm actually happy that I wasn't fumbling around with my camera & that I was just able to take it all in. The second night was another story.

I wasnt the biggest fan of this song until I heard it live last year. It was withour question the highlight of every show for me. One of my favs now.

I really do love all the lyrics of this song- everyone has posted them. But I just remembered another part I love: ...I would fall, in your shadow, I believe...

Gah- goosebumps! This song has always given me chills- since day one.

You know, it could be just me, but I almost find it rude when people are screaming things at her when she sings this.

We all love Stevie and wish to express it, heck I could shout it from a mountain, but when I watch this I cringe when I hear people screaming during it.

I love that Paula. Wed was fabulous but nothing will ever compare to BATB from Tuesday night. It really was spellbinding...not a peep from the crowd...it was nuts, but you could hear a pin drop. No F-tards yelling "sing it for me, Stevie". The whole experience was surreal, watching her singing that again, the way she looked coming down the ramp with her hair up.....sigh. It was worth making the trip for that alone.

I adore BaTB...always have. The album version is beautiful but the live versions are equally stellar. My favorite live version is Wild Heart and Vegas...

Favorite lines

"an old child, misunderstood, out of time"
"my love is a man, whos not been tamed"
"My darling, lives in a world and it is not mine, we come from different worlds but we are the same"

I have much love for this song.

Im so pleased that everybody loves this - but I knew you all would, Stevie could sing out of her ass and we would love it

Anyway, my fav line is:

Oh who is the beauty...who the beast
Would you die of grieving when I leave

The way Stevie sings die is just heartbreaking

Thanks for posting that again Paula. Memories. You ROCK!

Thanks so much Paula!

I LOVE the song and think the Vegas performaces were amongst the best things she has ever done- in fact, it shocked me and my posse shiitteless that she could still sing like that even with her new lower voice

One of my fav. lines from the song is:

an old child, misunderstood, and out of time - timeless is the creature who is wise - and so very timeless is the prisoner in disguise

That line, as as the song and interestingly enough her song "Twisted" - pretty well sums up my last relationship, which lasted on towards ten years. My 15 years older than I former partner seemingly was out of time (though they are still around bleesed be to God) and I was the prisoner in disguise (usually with a smile)

I swear that chick can turn a phrase

Also, Paula - thanks for that video. I am unsure if I knew it was you who took it and since May 05 - it has provided hours of enjoyment and has converted more than one innocent in my house into a Nicksian SOB

same here. we had a temp working for a few weeks and she came in one day while I was listening to the studio version. I showed her this and literally she was in tears. I kid you not. She still emails me when she hears a Stevie song.

Just trying to do my part in converting all the non-believers.

OH. MY. EFFIN. GOD.
I saw this on Saturday in Vegas but the ****ty part is I don't remember. I mean I remember being there but I don't remember her singing this specifically because I think I was so entranced not to mention I was standing directly in front of her sandwiched between two very large women and could barely breathe. I have a video of my show which I've watched but nothing compares to actually being there. Seeing this again, there are just no words for it. SHE KILLED IT! What a Goddess. I love how her hands are in front of her face for a lot of it, you can see how much she is connecting to the pain. There's no beauty and the beast here, she's the real thing! She's in such a trance, I bet she doesn't even hear the fans screaming things at her or she learned to tune it out over the years when it's such a serious song (and why do people scream out loud during slow songs anyway, so rude).
