Question about "Gold Dust Woman" ending - Page 2

SandyMac · #16 12-14-2008, 11:52 PM

Oh, I would love it really if Stevie did the whole primal scream thing at the end like in The Dance version. I think I would jump for joy but I think Stevie is going for more of a moody and sensual ending as opposed to a strong scream ending in these recent performances. I am just so happy that The Dance version got recorded like that. It definitely ranks up there as an excellent performance.

It might just be the way Stevie prefers to end the song now. Either way though, it is a powerful song and pray it stays in the set for 2009. Wasn't there a tour where they did not include GDW? If they are doing "the hits" though, you would think they would leave it in. I am still very interested to find out what set list they decide on and if we will get a rare gem or not.

Either way, this song will always rock, no matter what version is done live.

The Dance version was good, but I want something close to the original version. Did you see the making of Rumours DVD when Lindsey isolated her vocals at the end of the song? THAT'S WHAT I WANT!!!

Yeah, he's a funny guy, noting that he thinks they were under just a little bit of strain there.

A long long time ago on the Tusk & Mirage tours.

I think GDW is a great candidate for an acoustic guitar treatment in the Gypsy AHI mode.

But I'd also like to hear the cowbell moved to "The Chain," the talking drum moved to GYOW, the clackers moved to "Dreams," & the guiro moved to "What's the World Coming To."

(The triangle can stay on "Tusk.")

How about the breaking glass moved to Songbird.

That's probably happens a few times -- in concert.

Personally, I think the breaking glass would be perfect in "Goodbye, Baby" -- Guess when!

Hey, Steve!

I know she was doing the "Baby, baby..." during the Two Voices mini tour with Don Henley when they were doing GDW as a duet. Then they would go into their cheek to cheek dance to finish it out.

I saw one of the best performances of GDW at her show in Detroit (Casino and Hotel) She was magic!!! It was UNBELIEVABLE! She stood strong behind Waddy and made the point to create a deep, almost scary, atmosphere. I really felt that song in a different way that night. I was BEYOND thrilled.

And the addition of, "Baby, baby, baby, you can't save me now..." chanting at the end made me cry. I guess because of my past with being wild, crazy, and under the influence. I felt like it was the closing to my drama. She moved me to the point of tears.

So, I have EXTREME expectations for UNLEASHED!

I wonder if Stevie will do the ending with Lindsey the same she did it with Waddy. That would totally send the audience into a frenzy.I love the end lyrics and makes a powerful song even more powerful.

Be still my heart.

I think I would faint on the spot...! I've never seen it live, but even the videos are spooky as hell.

I say they should go for it!

The wailing or primal screams she does at the ending, now that's
the way it should be done.

And while she's doing that, Lindsey could break some glass.

I agree with you.....I guess I'm one of the rare people cause I don't like the 'added' lyrics at the end of GDW....I just think its a 'filler' of sorts.....I think its pointless in the song really.....but the each his or her own really ....no offence....just don't care for it much thats all.....

I can see your point, but I think that when lyrics are added to a song when it's done live, it kind of completes the song, fills in a little more of the big picture so to speak. So I usually tend to like that extra bit of insight

Usually, I feel the same way, but the "Welllllllll, I don't think you do" isn't working for me. It's been a few years. I was hoping we'd get a couple of new ad libs for Rhiannon.
