@rettrussell No argument with that one! Have you read her 2 books? She was a product of the times, but boy, she is a VERY accomplished artist with a deep understanding of the ART of SINGING. Hard to say that about many "performers" these days. And yes, she is the same live as on recordings. She is a true vocalist with all the skills.
I might add Tapestry to the long list, but have not heard it in a while, so maybe, maybe not.
As for Live at the Fillmore, Allman Brothers, Oh, yeah! Best version of Stormy Monday ever, and the LIVE guitar solos are beyond what most can ever hope to accomplish. Even Clapton hired Duane to play the slide on the original recording of Layla...
Cheers!
