75 show in maryland

[aleuzzi]

Hey everyone, I might be posting something that's already been talked to death but here goes:

I just bought a two-disc dvd of FM live performances from the mid seventies. Many of the performances were culled from well-known shows like the "Midnight Special" and Tokyo concerts. But there's also an early show from June 75 in Maryland. So early, in fact, that Stevie's wearing jeans instead of chiffon.

She looks amazing and sounds great, too. But what struck me was how subdued, almost tentative a performer she was at that time. She holds back a lot on her vocal harmonies and only sings lead on one song. In fact, on "Blue Letter," Christine's harmonies uncharacteristically overpower Stevie's. The bulk of the show is dominated by Chris (who does most of the chatting between songs) and Lindsey. I hadn't realized Stevie's role was so confined in the early days. Is this concert typical of the 75 performances?
