God, I Wish (pun indended). I hold Stevie's run of music in the early 70's in the same esteem I hold the Stones best music. Those records will never get old for me, and I discovered them years later.
I imagine it might have even been a slight risk to take such a brilliant artist out as an opener back then. Were there nights when his show was better than the Stones?
I would welcome your memories of Stevie's music back then stonesrule!

I used to think the word proper was the most over and annoying word used word in the English language. That was until I found music boards and saw that the most over used word by far is brilliant, and its not even close.
I mean it is amazing how much that word flies. On the Hoffman fourm not 10 minutes goes by without it describing someone.
I am going to start a thread soon asking if there has ever been an artist that is not brilliant?

Well I don't throw the word around lightly. Maybe Stevie isn't your thing, no worries, but brilliant doesn't begin to describe the best of his music, imo. Let me throw in a few more adjectives for you to critique...soulful, inspiring, fantastic, groovy, fresh, thoughtful, healing, transcendental, wonderful, enlightening, empowering, powerful,... Any of those work better for ya?

I assume NL doesn't merely "like" Stevie's best music. He thinks it's "brilliant." So, a mere "like" is not an accurate portrayal of NL's fondness for the music. Why shouldn't he use the word that best suits his opinion? Simply because YOU think the word is devalued?

It is devalued on music forms because so many Brits use it to describe everything they like.
Here is a little wisdom that many more people on music boards should follow. IF you say you like music then there is nothing to argue about. You are stating a fact. When you start stating as a fact that someone is brilliant of a Genius for Gods sake then there is something to debate and argue about. What is the point of everyone stating their opinions as always? Its ridiculous.
By the way Steve Wonder was a flash in the pan who was really no big deal and put out a few pop hits. Far from brilliant of a Genious. A pop star eclipsed my many..

... The other stuff is just opinion and isn't worth forcing down anyone's throat.
Online everyone claims anyone they like is brilliant. It really has no meaning. It just means someone likes him. I am sure fans of Ratt are going around talking about how brilliant they are.

I saw the tour in Mobile in '72, was excited to see Stevie on the bill because he was a huge star too at the time...but I came to see the Stones for the third time, I was not diappointed with either of them!
