Sisters of the Moon confirmed - Page 8

Mid-tempo songs like Sara, Gypsy, Dreams, Over My Head, and others are hard songs to do, esp when trying the set the right mood and pacing of the song - not too fast yet not so slow. I do sound at my church and we have problems with mid-tempo songs very often.

They outta do like a trilogy Rhiannon, Gold Dust Woman, and then Sisters of the Moon or maybe Gold Dust Woman fading into Sisters of the Moon.

Oh god I'd be right there with you.

I'd love it if Sara, Sisters and Angel were all performed, but they're all really long songs, unless she cut Rhiannon or Gold Dust Woman for one of them... I don't think it's likely D:

Right, realistically it won't happen. I'd prefer to hear "Angel" over "Sara", but since "Sara" it is, I'm learning to give up my hold on my "Angel" pipe dream.

It's hard though. Really hard.

Oh we wanted it, alright. Then most of us realized it kind of sucked live.

They just never got it quite right - I don't know if it was the tempo, or because the song (albeit beautiful) tends to drag on or what. But it wasn't great.

Gypsy is another one I don't care to see/hear live ever again. Bland.

To me, Sara works great live now. Especially after she did on Soundstage. Oh my god, it was great to hear that live in Chicago at the warm up concert.

I agree with you about Gypsy but Sara sounded wonderful on the Tusk Tour with just Christine, John, Mick and Lindsey providing the instrumentation.

I would love for them to do Peacekeeper but I don't see that happening.

Wow, STRONGLY disagree with that. stevies love performance of storms are in my opinion one or her greatest vocal achievements ever and for sure of this century. That's how I felt when I saw it I've and it's been confirmed in every version I've seen on YouTube. If anything I still loved it live but Stevie's voice couldn't tackle beautiful child for me.

of all the ballads Stevie's performed on her tours of the 2000 storms was by far my favorite. This is no I'd rate the rest:

1. Storms
2. Love Is
3. Beautiful child
4. HAEWAFY
5. Beauty and the Beast

She was amazing on Beautiful Child imho and Storms was a big bore.

IMHO Storms was really hard to capture live and ended up a sort of loud monotone braying rather than the half-whispered beauty of the original. Sara is also a drone when done live, it needs a dramatic build and atmosphere which seemingly cannot be achieved live - it ends up sounding like chanting over a chugging, stuttering instrumental. Nowhere near the masterpiece of the recording. For FM, Beautiful Child is perfect live, and solo, either BATB or HAEWAFY still work marvellously.
These ballads are the reason I love Stevie.

I have low expectations for "Sisters," in that I'm not expecting a replay of a 1982 performance. But I think that she'll still do a good job and try to keep it true to her original demo. I hope she tries to sustain those long notes after the first two verses (i.e. "to me..." "of the moon..."), instead of "to me, yeah!" and "of the moon, yeah!"
