I think Stevie was the most beautiful when....

[The Tower]

She performed "Sara" on the Tusk documentary!!!!

I just watched it again and it STILL makes my eyes well up with tears. Her delivery is flawless- just on the verge of breaking down, yet you can clearly tell she is enraptured by that song. The smiles (all genuine and spontaneous), the inflections, that red shawl/wrap and most of all..... THAT HAIR!!!!!

The end of the song gives me gooseflesh and makes my eyes well up to the max!

Any other instances when all that is Stevie comes together to create that charisma/beauty/grace/awesomeness that is heavenly, uniquely her?

I think the acoustic performance of "Gypsy" at the AHI Benefit with Lindsey and Waddy qualifies. Holey ****, was I bawling during that one!!!

I don't mean to be tacky, but I think she was the most beautiful when her body was in perfect 24-Hour Fitness shape.

David, for shame.

I think she was most beautiful in the videos for Seven Wonders, Hold Me, Little Lies, and the Gold & Braid HBO concert performance. In that order.

I think she is the most beautiful when she sings "Gypsy" in the Mirage video. My all time favorite performance by her.

AMEN!!!!!!!! I saw it first years ago on LASER DISC I died. I thought I had see the end of all things - "like a painting"

I thought she was beautiful in the Mirage video AND while the voice was enchanting, to this budding first tenor I wept for what it was I loved it and it moved me (how could it not ) but it was so painful to hear, esp. a few years later when my first tenor became impossible to sing thorugh my own excesses

The AHI acoustic Gypsy though - SHEEBUS - sex on a stick

I think Stevie was at her most beautiful during Silver Springs on the Dance video. It's easy to pick beautiful, younger moments of someone, but when you are in your fifties (or maybe late forties at that time?) and are still able to display that much grace, charisma, and emotion and just look radiant doing it, now that's a feat of nature. Stevie defies the laws of aging and I love her for it.

I think she was the most beautiful in the Everyday and Sorcerer videos.

And during the Dance. Oh, and during her performance of GDW during the "Sheryl Crow and Friends" concert in 1999.

I'm quite a fan of "mature" Stevie

Stevie was at her most beautiful during Leather and Lace on the HBO special. Watching her in that never fails to make my temperature rise.

AND - she was stunning in the Destiny Rules doc when her and Lindsey were alone together working on Goodbye Baby. I had to stop and compose myself; she was unbelievably gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, it's obvious that she was touched-up during that scene, but I don't care, she was still hot as hell.

That "Good-bye Baby" section was the best part of the doc IMO.

Holey ****, yes!!! The "Seven Wonders" video is prime-beef Stevie at her finest.

I always loved when during the HBO "Gold and Braid" when she chucked that gigantic tambourine away to grasp the microphone.

The shots of Stevie in the grey & white in Seven Wonders are the best.

And when I listen to G&B on Enchanted or Next Stop:Main Road, I know exactly when the tambourine gets thrown. Memorable moment.

I am a fan of "mature" Stevie as well but she was very beautiful in the Gypsy video. I especially like the rain scene and of course the dancing with LB part. In recent years, I thought Stevie looked beautiful on Storytellers, especially After the Glitter Fades. She just looks stunning in red! Also, in the IYEDB video with Sheryl, she looks hot and confident. She also looks great on the ShangriLa cover and all the photos that were taken during that shoot with Neil Preston. I usually like her hair straighter but damn she looks good in that peach dress with the wind blowing.

One more...I agree Dissention, that GB scene just gave me goosebumps. She looked stunning. I am not sure what it was, maybe the song she was singing but she had this aura about her during that whole bit on the Doc. It was only there on the Goodbye Baby part. Her voice, the words, combined with her beautiful skin, eyes and hair just gave me the shivers. My favorite part of the whole documentary!
(well that and the photo shoot for the SYW cover...adjust package!) LOL

The way Stevie looks in the "If Anyone Falls," "Seven Wonders," "Rooms On Fire" and "Every Day" videos, never fails to take my breath away.

She's perfection on 'Storytellers,' too.
