What's Stevie's most powerhouse vocal on a studio version of a song?

The one sticking out in my mind is Nothing Ever Changes. Those opening lines just rage.
"If it's ME that's driving you to this...MAAADNEEESS...There's just one thing that IIIIIIII'D...like to SAAAY..."

The version of Silver Springs on the VBOFM contains powerhouse and stunning vocals at the end.

Also, the entire Imperial Hotel from RAL is a killer powerhouse vocal, esp. for that era of "The Voice"

Others that come to mind:

I Don't Want to Know (Rumors - The Voice - the time - the deal)
EO17 (Bella Donna and YIPES)
Talk to Me (RAL - this one is about 60% powerhouse)

Great thread!!!!

Imperial Hotel is hardly ever mentioned, but I agree!

I'd add these:
Stop Draggin' My Heart Around
Stand Back
Long Way To Go
Planets Of The Universe (maybe)
Seven Wonders
That's Alright
Everybody Finds Out
Fall From Grace

I had limited myself to one, but Imperial Hotel was next on my list.

Also, the BN demo of Sorcerer. The last part with her & Lindsey calling back to each other "WHO FOOOOOUND...lady from the MOUNTAAAAIN."

Violet and Blue. Specifically the end part, "take it wiiiiith you...". She is tearing it up right there.

I love her smoky demo of The Dealer. ~*~Mistress of my fate~*~

This isn't so much a comment on the vocal, but I love the passion play lines at the end of the song.

I would also have to agree The Wild Heart is one of my fav. Stevie studio vocals...as well as the extended version of Planets..

Violet and Blue as well...and Edge of Seventeen

For studio recordings:

Silver Springs (studio version) - love the ending!!

I do find that some of her more "forceful" vocals are on her demos:

Socerer (BN demo) - the end is fabulous
Smile at You (angry version) - "FLAAAAAAAAAAAMIN'!!!"
Joan of Arc - "And I don't even know why you left me"

As for her some of her "live" stuff:

At Last - one of my very favorites!
Rhiannon - Live from 1975 - Stevie really kicks it!!

Nothing Ever Changes
Enchanted
Violet and Blue
Planets Of the Universe
Gold and Braid
Stop Dragging My Heart Around

You know that's just erie. When i saw your thread, the first song that came to my mind was Nothing ever Changes. I was quite stunned to see that was the first song i saw get a vote.

I also need to add "Whenever I call You Friend." She absoltely nails that and belts many, many time in it. That is one of her best and most powerful from a projection pint of view vocals ever IMHO

So you're saying I'm right.
