TJ, yep. I'd go so far to say that Steve was a force of nature onstage. I've just never seen such a whirlwind in my life.
But I think you hit on something really important, something that separated Steve from virtually everyone else of his generation, including Prine. He was a showman, an entertainer. In this, there was no one who was his equal.
Thanks for your remembrances.
