Favorite Soundstage Performance

[RockALittle250]

I selected "other". Circle Dance is my top pick because it was refreshing to have a new (new to me anyway) song in the setlist and i loved the blending of Stevie and Vanessa's voices...their voices together are like silk.

For me it's Rhiannon, with HSML a very close second. Followed by Sara, Gold Dust Woman, Crash Into Me, Landslide, and Edge. There isn't one performance I don't like. I think I've watched Soundstage about 20 times all the way through and go back and replay certain songs again and again and again. What can I say, I'm addicted!

What I love about this Rhiannon, besides the fact that it is the most special song to me when it comes to Stevie, is that she made it more magical and mystical with her appearance and performance. She captured that Dickensian look and feel perfectly. From the introduction to the song when she was playing piano along with that adoreable little girl, casting her sideways glances at me with those intriguing eyes, and all the way through her hypnotic vocal, she had me. It was the real deal. This WAS Rhiannon. The spirit, the magic, the timeless character that never dies and only once in a million years rises. I was looking at HER. She captured me and took me away to a spiritual place. Completely safe and free.

I pondered this one for a long time...

and i decided that Crash Into Me was the closest thing to a "new" song (even though it is obviously a ten year old cover tune).

She totally blows me away evertime I listen to this track...

I have never been a DMB fan, nor a fan of this song.. but...

Stevie gives it a treatment that melts in my ears like cotton candy...

mmm... ear candy.....

Crash Into Me. Nuance with some sexual inuendo works well for Stevie at this point in her career.

Having listened back to the extracted audio discs of the DVD I made, I voted for "Rock N Roll"

Speaking of that part with the fan...I believe it was after Rhiannon that she said she was getting blown away by the fan and would someone please turn it down. (does anyone else that was there remember?) When someone didn't come running out right away Stevie said "well I guess I have to do it myself!" (or something like that) And then she walked up and kicked the fan sideways so it wasn't blowing on her.

I hope they leave that in between song chatter on the DVD.

I liked the soundstage i though red rocks was better than soundstage wish filmed one of the arena's on the tour instead of in the sound stage studio to capture the real feeling of the show with a 10,000 people in the audience experience soundstage with stevie was good but though it didn't capture the magic of her arena shows like fleetwood mac filmed in boston and was in the audience for fleetwood mac sound stage and though the show was awesome too cause it also captured the live audience in the arena . I though to me the best song on stevie's sound stage was Gold Dust Woman. I loved the whole show but that was the song that really captured the magic of the shows for me. I am looking forward to the stevie's soundstage if they ever release it...lol since its still on back order at pbs soundstage and also has been moved torwards the end of october now it seems like they are never going to release this dvd..lol

Peace,

Steve

Nice story. Fans are great to keep you cool, but when it comes to messing up your hair, they have to go!

As for Rhiannon, it was killer. I LOOOOOOOVED the top hat. There were moments when it looked like 1977 all over again...although I was never around back then.

That's exactly what I thought too. I wish she would have stayed in that outfit a little longer.

I voted for Rock and Roll. I grew up listening to Led Zep doing it, and Stevie does it better!

Have to agree with David, and I picked it as my favorite.
Stevie added very sensual strong emotions (at least that was the feeling I got),
strong vocals, and sexy soft voice- Excellent rendition of How Still My Love
Just a great old tune to hear live and as you said...
She, and the band did it justice....
