"Gold Dust Woman" -- Live at Sundance

[Fireflies]

[johnnystorms]

she always seems so energized and inspired in these one-off type events.. she seems to rise to the challenge out of her comfort-zone-womb of FM and the solo outings.

That was amazing, one of the best GDW in years!

[johnnystorms]

i HATE saying this! If Stevie weren't tied to the FM "cash-cow" she could make herself relevant again. this Sound City thing is getting SO much good press. DUMP the FM boys and go tour with DG . it would be the new Travelling Wilburys! radio and video and tv exposure
(yeah, had too many drinks tonight, but STILL)

Oh my god I have not seen Stevie perform this song this good since the Dance DVD. But this was on a whole other level. She was moving so much it was awesome. you could really tell she was loving it so much. What an electric performance!! I understand that it is probably draining if she were to do that every night on tour and plus doing that in a large arena is just not the same as being really intimate. So it is really special to be able to have this.

One of my new favourites forsure. She is a GODDESS

probably having the audience padded with press and celebrities instead of her fans has something to do with it

[On Ice]

Very nice energy! Maybe has something to do with performing with a different band, but I think it has more to do with wearing pants, she seems so much more comfortable in pants these days. Time to ditch the dresses.

Sad part is by mid-tour this year we'll probably see a more robotic, listless Stevie, fed up with standing beside Lindsey night after night. What I would love to see her/them do is focus on some creative new music and save the live stuff for events. Certainly would have more meaning seeing great clips like this and listening to great new records than it would be shelling out $,1000 for a decent seat at what would likely be a disappointing concert. I just don't like the Mac with the entourage of "back-up" musicians. Just my 2 cents.

[AliceLover]

Awesome energy, but she sounds god awful vocally in all of these clips. I hope she gets enough rest before the huge FM trek!

Love the jam at the end!

[WildHearted]

The energy was great, but yeah I have definitely heard better GDW vocals recently than this. She just sounds a little hoarse. But she seemed to be having fun which is great!

I bet it's nice playing with different (and younger :P) people, exciting all.

Haha I had the same thoughts. Young and shirtless drummer..you better believe Stevie wasn't complaining.

^^ Haha yes! I was thinking that about Taylor especially

I'm glad you and AliceLover said that about her vocals though, because I was thinking the same... I didn't want to sound callous. I totally appreciate her energy, but the vocals sounded hoarse and flat at times. Even though it's a sort of painful, lamenting song it still has this warm quality to it that was lacking here - that might be due to the rocked up quality with the Foo Fighters though? She better take it easy!

i think she's channeling janice. w/out the heroin.

It was a little more ragged and nasal than usual. She passed on the money note, too. But she looked great!

now this is an interesting thought.....Stevie with Tom, Jeff, Bob and...?
I bet this would be a real energized rock band and they would sound good together as long as Dylan doesn't sing

[cantgoback]

Awesome performance, she can always belt it out on this song. Dave Grohl was a good choice too.
