I actually think the Enchanted Tour till about halfway though recording TISL was her "last hurrah" of "young" Stevie. She was vocally and physically back at her peak. Those vocals rocked. She had not sounded that good or hit those notes (other than some off the top of her range) or had the same vibrato since the early 80's. She managed to record some great vocals with this newly reenergized voice like At LAst, Call on Me for Magic, the Crow produced tracks etc. Then she started going through "The Change of Life" and I think things started to dry up? By SYW recording and tour her voice was changed again and has more or less stayed about the same only losing a note off her range every couple years since 2004. She still sounds good dont get me wrong, but there was a big change right around 2003. Maybe she started smoking again? She was cig free in 1998, but seen smoking in SYW documentary.
