"....WHOAAA, it's MEEEEE that's talkin' to ya!"

[SillyDreamer]

This may seem like a really inane request, but I've become addicted to the song "How Still My Love" and am particularly interested in live versions where the "Whoaaa, it's me that's talkin' to ya" after the bridge is particularly fierce. I already have some decent ones (including a SA one and a good RAL one that's 9:27 long--unfortunately I don't have what show it's from), and Youtube has (had?) the kickass one from the US Festival, I'd have to say my all-time favorite is one from the Wild Heart Tour-- it's 7:38 long, her voice is in a great place between WH and RAL, and she just rips it (the song AND her voice) to shreds... it's the one that was posted back in March, I think, where we all kept marvelling at how chatty she was for the first few minutes of the track.

So does anyone have any other really good versions of HSML? If not, a decent quality recording of my above favorite will suffice!

That particular howl was at its very best on the Inglewood Forum 10.02.83 show, which I posted a few months ago. You might still have it somewhere.

i think that's the one i'm referring to as my favorite. the only thing i don't like about it is the sound quality-- it's distant and muffled, and i can't crank it up in my car because it's so low!

Yeah, if I had a soundboard of it, I'd share it with all my ledgie lovers of WH HSML. Maybe someday something excellent from that night will surface.

Other better-quality recordings you might be interested in for good howling on HSML are:

1. Bristol CT 9.09.83
2. Tempe AZ 9.25.83
3. Buffalo NY 7.02.83
4. Charlotte NC 11.23.83
5. Cincinnati OH 7.30.83
6. Dallas TX 9.05.83

In general, the farther you get toward the end of the tour, the better the HSMLs got for howling.

bless you for asking this.

the 9:27 is from Austin, TX 4.12.86

my personal favorites:
HSML, Cloak and Dagger cd
HSML, Jones Beach (not sure of date)
HSML, Wantaugh, NY (not sure of date)
HSML, Weedsport, NY (9.6.86)

and although not exactly a favorite, Dallas, TX (4.15.86) has some of the best vocals ever of the RAL tour - especially around 2:34 (the "you go your way" part...ahhh - breathtaking) and listen to the vamping at the end

Jones Beach is Wantaugh, I do believe. The recording in circulation is June 8.

HSML, Weedsport, NY (9.6.86)

I question this date. I say this is the broadcast date, not the performance date, which I believe was back in June.

Do you realize, Jason, that your whole list was RAL How Stills & my whole list was WH How Stills?

That must say something about us respectively!

You are not alone with that, my friend. I feel in love with this song from the very beginning and to see her perform said song this past tour was well beyond my wildest dreams. How Still My Love is my all-time favorite song for a bubblebath.

STEVIE IS SEXY AS ALL GETOUT~!

I have a date of June 20 for Weedsport, plus a possible 2nd show August 15. I don't know whether there actually was a 2nd show, & if so, whether the radio show was the June show or the August show.

For June 7, 8 & 9, I have Jones Beach in Wantaugh NY.

I don't use their dates. I find them unreliable in many respects (except for the dates they "borrowed" from me). I rely on my own dates, which I have kept religiously for twenty five years.

that's too bad ... i've used their dates to label some of my boots. thanks for the info!

I always get this song stuck in my head after I listen to it - have loved it from the very 1st time I ever heard it. I just watched the US Festival last weekend and kept hearing it for a few days afterwards - she really howled during that version but I agree with David, the Inglewood version kicks major tail, wish quality was a little better, I need to get a CD made of that entire concert somehow!
