Also, there is a mentality of "don't start too hot." Let it build. They don't want to begin with a song that's too popular. They want to ascend. Last edited by michelej1; 05-20-2022 at 03:39 AM.. |

I think The Chain builds and it's a hot opener. |

Outside the Rain became and opener during the RAL tour. She was still opening with Gold Dust woman but shortened her set dropping GDW and Sara. She stuck with OTR forever as the opener and her sets became so stale. I have always thought a full rock version of I Cant Wait would be a great opener. Not sure she could pull it off today though. BTW, I loved the Benmont Tench/Waddy versions of GDW on the BD/Wild Heart tours. It was mystical, rocking, and a great opener. The way she does it today would not be a great opener. I may be in the minority but dont care for Fall From Grace. Its just her singing fast. There is not much music. She thinks its a rocker but does not even have a guitar solo. But dont get me started about Sheryl Crow and TISRL because most of that album is so freaking boring.

I don't think Stevie has to retire; I just wish she'd evolve. Her insistence on the same set, same movements, same attire, etc. reduces her to a caricature.
I mean, Tony Bennett was recording and performing into his 90s. His pairing with Gaga introduced him to a new generation in an age-appropriate way. Same thing with Loretta Lynn. She recorded Van Lear Rose with Jack White in her 70s and resurrected her career. |

I also wish that she realized that what lives on are the recordings. Live performances evaporate and only live in the memories of those who were there. Looking good onstage and dancing around is nice, and enjoyable to experience, but the only things that live after you are gone (or after you can no longer sing/perform) are the recordings. That's how future generations who weren't alive at the time can know about you and why people were such fans of yours.... and she was either so messed up on drugs for so many of the concerts that got recorded, and/or her voice so shot that there are some really awful performances documented. Then you add to that that she basically stopped recording any new music of her own after 2003.... there's no as you say evolution, no growth, no continuing arc to her career where we get to see how her storytelling continued to evolve over time from her 20s to her 70s. It's more like as a songwriter she fell off a cliff and disappeared in 2003 because she's had nothing new to say. I don't know that future generations (after she's long gone) will listen to her stuff and still think she's a "legend"

This Stand Back from Portland has traces of the Boston 1996 festival concert. Stevie is back and pumped up!

Viv! She's almost jumping in the video.
I think she lets loose when she's not shawled up. |

It’s about as good as any version she’s done of Stand Back since Say You Will. The “modern” performances of Stand Back are all rather perfunctory and lack any attempt to really stand out vocally. I don’t think it’s bad it’s just…

A nice performance of Moonlight from this past weekend. No falsetto at the end like on the 24 Karat Gold Tour.

Remember that scene in The Rose where Rose climbs up onstage in a rowdy honkytonk bar and just sings for the pure hell of it?
