Big time... TOSOTM tour was her worst tour ever, imo... she was like some sort of zombie on stage.. no energy, very lethargic, no life... if i were a fan who had seen the RAL tour just three earlier, I would have been convinced that Stevie had become a pod person

She was simply awful. She would just stand at the microphone, sing a song, spin slowly off stage, leaving the song to end without her, then a long pause and instrumental intro to another boring song, she would come out slowly, sing the song, repeat. It was the polar opposite of her RAL performance.

It was also the first tour where she didn't do Rhiannon. She came out for the encore, mumbled something about how we should all sing it because she was tired of it, then sang HAEWFY. The lights came up and I remember turning to the stranger next to me and saying "that's it?"

I honestly don't know but if I had to guess there were no really big hits off SA and maybe the songs that she did do live didn't come off that well in her opinion. Maybe those are not her favorite songs but I don't think she dislikes them. Maybe it was a bad time in her life and she doesn't want to go back. Heck I don't know lol.

That's surprising to me because I love the boots I have from that tour and I think she sounds really good but I wasn't there so I couldn't see how her demeanor was. I especially like the version of GDW from that tour and Rooms and Alice are amazing live! Poor Stevie if she was in fact a pod person

I do remember having a chuckle during EO17, though, when Stevie started trying to do this funky running man-style dance with the bass player.

First tour I saw in person. I was in college & drove out with a college friend.
I remember that Alice cleared the seats, and Stevie's feet stayed in one place. And that her voice had changed greatly since RAL.

I think SapphireSister hit it on the nail here, especially the comment about not wanting to go back.

I would add, though, that another strong possibility is that Stevie thinks that we hate the album....sales were bad....fans didn't initially respond well to the songs when they were new....and, though I can't speak for every Enchanted tour show, here in Denver, I got an overwhelming 'WTF is this song!?' impression from the audience when she played Rose Garden. I, on the other hand, was thrilled.

Yes! And she wore this cool white dress with a black duster over it and top hat. She looked good on that tour. I had just seen her on TOSOTM tour and was shocked at the difference. She was zombie like on TOSOTM.

Yup.

Now, I think she has lost about half of it. She is still no where near how thin she was in the Spring of 2003 though.

I'd have to say '98. It's especially noticeable on the Jay Leno show appearance. She looks hot.

We all know about the dreaded hop bone. It's left over from the days of our beginings as marsupials.
