Setlist Survivor Round 1

[skcin]

I've been thinking about doing this for a while now, but there've always been other "survivor" games going on & it's just too much for me to concentrate on, quite frankly ;) . I'm putting in every tune Stevie did in 2005 (I think I've got them all in there.)

I won't give a set time that the voting will end for each round - every few days I'll count 'em up & start a new round.

Enchanted
Outside the Rain
Dreams
Stop Draggin' My Heart Around (with Don)
SDMHA (w/o Don)
Rhiannon
Sorcerer
Stand Back
Landslide
GDW (with Don)
GDW (w/o Don)
If Anyone Falls
Fall From Grace
How Still My Love
Edge of Seventeen
I Need to Know
Beauty and the Beast
Leather and Lace
So You Wanna Be A Rock and Roll Star
Circle Dance (with Don)
Circle Dance (w/o Don)
Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You
Rock And Roll

I don't hate the song, but it was tired. I was absolutely thrilled when she dumped it & put in different covers instead. :nod:

[UnwindedDreams]

...go back in the vault!

[The Tower]

I never want to hear it done live again....

[ontheEdgeof17]

Lackluster.

If ya can't hit the note, then drop the damn song.

[JazmenFlowers]

I never really liked this song, other than the studio version.

[GypsySorcerer]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[jannieC]

I know Stevie loves this song, but I'm not a big fan of it live.

[Hawkeye]

So over rated this tour. It was the one song in Cleveland I didnt really like. I Need to Know was AMAZING. It better not go first. I guess I may have wasted my vote then, but Oh Well.


BTW Paula, Excellent Survivor idea. I stopped participating in them for awhile but this one has resparked my interest.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

PLAH-EZEEEE....


I love Dreams live....and the hula dance made it much better. :laugh:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Ahem.....

Dreams doesn't sound bad without the high notes. In fact, we are all used to it lowered and prolly never listen to the original. FFG has that big build up to "the note" and it fizzled every single time....It was a big tease with a bigger let down. It just doesn't cut it on stage.

[UnwindedDreams]

[QUOTE=GypsySorcerer]Ahem..... It's never going to leave the set honey.

[jannieC]

I never want to hear it done live again....
See now, that's how I feel about Dreams. But I <i>must</i> see Rhiannon live! Sometimes you can still see a spark of the old Stevie when she does this song.

[danax6]

Buh bye! :wavey:

[GypsySorcerer]

It's never going to leave the set honey.

Of course not, but at least it comes early in the set so I can get it over with. ;)

FFG was a letdown, no doubt about it. I just enjoy giving you a hard time. :p :laugh:

Good thing I'm not at my parent's house, or I would drive down and kick some Kentucky booty.

:laugh: You're too cute to fight with, though. I'd lose instantly. :o

[Hippocampus]

It's been in her setlists far too long.

[gldstwmn]

SDMHA with or without Don.

[SapphireSister]

It should never have been added to her live set in the first place let alone made it this long. If you are going to do a song that often do one of your own woman!

[strandinthewind]

I agree - though she can rock the living shitteee out of it when she takes a notion to :eek:

[Nicksluvver]

Stop draggin..

[ontheEdgeof17]

I agree - though she can rock the living shitteee out of it when she takes a notion to :eek:

a la Cleveland '05...the last INTK performance. It was killer.

as were some of the RAL ones - SHIVERS I TELL YOU.

Personally, I do not like the song How Still My Love (though the GO ONE GET OUT) parts were cool in Vegas. But, she wrote it, so I did not choose it.

[dissention]

Dreams. It was a toss-up between this boring thing and the currently dreadful Rhiannon. My sights are set on How Still My Love, though, because she absolutely butchered the climax of the song.

[ontheEdgeof17]

^^^ I agree with both of you.

HSML failed big time. The FFG into HSML....big mistake....it slowed the show down so much.

[amber]

Wow, I loved that part. But then, I love FFG. And she was so saucy during HSML. And good god, at least they were songs she doesn't usually do.

[face of glass]

Leather and lace
sit on my face
that's made of glass
but not with your *ss.

[Serrart]

Nice song, but i tend to skip it in bootlegs so...

Romy

[golden braid]

It's difficult for me to pick a song because there are so many that need to be cut from the setlist. I love the studio version of this song but it's never been a favorite of my live. I don't think she should do it anymore unless Tom will sing it with her.

[Dreammms]

It's basically just Don singing anyway.

[Neal]

[1934mission]

I have never seen it work well live. I think she should save it for Tom.:nod:

[53yearoldpixie]

I concur with the general population: it was in for way too long.

I had the utmost respect for you Jason and now it's all gone. You've put a knife through my heart the that statement! I'll never be the same. HSML is a masterpiece!

[SapphireSister]

I sincerely wonder if Stevie really knew her die-hard fans were sick of certains songs and the general population did not want to hear them anymore if she would consider dropping them. Any thoughts? Is she totally obvlivous or is possible she would make a change?

Unfortunately, we're not the general population. She's gotta sing the hits to keep packing the seats.

[Rickypt]

Going over this setlist again just solidifies my belief that Stevie needs to toss half these songs out. I'm praying that doing some of them with a symphony will pump some new life into them.

First one that needs to go is ENCHANTED. Somebody needs to tell her that it was nice that she did it for the box set tour, but enough is enough. And to open with it??:distress:

Regarding playing the hits, she could get away with dumping the FM songs if she would play more solo hits: Talk To Me, If Anyone Falls (surely she can figure out how to sing it without Lori?), Rooms On Fire, and sort-of hits: MLWCYM, Nightbird.

Why she creates a solo concert setlist largely filled with FM hits, cover songs, and non-hits that she's done in other tours baffles me.

Thanks, Hawkeye. Although your vote leads me to believe that you are insane. :] JK.

All you people voting for I Need To Know are the insane ones. Thats sucha great freaking live song for Stevie. It was Out of this World in Cleveland.

[UnwindedDreams]

Unfortunately, we're not the general population. She's gotta sing the hits to keep packing the seats. she's not packing them anyway!

[skcin]

she's not packing them anyway!


So imagine what would happen if she ditched her hits, the songs the casual fan wants to hear. :cool:

Yeah, but are the "casual fans" paying $125 a ticket? :confused:

I know but I have to say that she should keep dreams and landslide( it would be nice if she threw in an acoustic gypsy with brett or waddy) talk to me is one of her hits but the only time I think we would hear that is if she threw it in in vegas. iaf and hsml will not leave caesars and rooms will never be played again!:distress: how's this?:shrug:

she could throw a couple in:nod:

[AliceLover]

I am voting this because id love to save I Need to Know. This is a song that I never get sick of and always listen to it on the bootlegs. I must say as a child I was introduced to this song on the HBO tape. Never really dug it. When I saw Red Rocks....that was it for me. Absolutely loved it. I love it to this day and YES i was pissed when it was dropped this year. Still trying to track down bootlegs from those first 3 shows :(

Stop Draggin My Heart Around does have a special place in my heart though. I really started getting into Stevie in 2001 and she opened with this song. I thought it was a GREAT opener. I was sick of OTR/Dreams intro by then so it was great to see something new. Then they did that super cool jones beach thing and they followed her with the camera out on stage.....so great.

end ramble....

she's not packing them anyway!

I believe this summer in Cleveland Ohio i read that she attracted about 14,000 fans, solo, with nothing to promote. If thats not packing, then what is?

[AliceLover]

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

They did this like 20/20 interview with her. They were at her show and some lady was tlaking with her while the intro to SDMHA was playing and she had to haul ass out there.

[skcin]

Yeah, but are the "casual fans" paying $125 a ticket? :confused:


You wouldn't think so, but the majority of the people I was sitting near at my shows knew the hits & that was it. That goes for Mac shows too - most had no clue they had a new CD out & new songs were used for bathroom/beer breaks. Sad but true.

I know what you're saying, but she really did take some chances & make some changes this past year! To say that she should play what the diehards want to hear because we buy the expensive tickets is crap. There are planty of diehards who can't afford the best seats AND there are plenty of casual fans who have the money to get the best seats to every show they go to see, no matter who the artist is.

If there are 5000 people at a show, you can bet that at least4500 are what we would consider casual fans, probably more. They do not go to 5 shows of hers on one tour (only freaks like me do that :p ) so they want to hear the songs she's most well known for - Rhiannon, Dreams, Landslide, Edge, Stand Back, GDW, SDMHA. Would they know TTM & ROF? Probably, and I would like to hear these tunes again. But for whatever reason, Stevie opts not to do them.

[Rickypt]

talk to me is one of her hits but the only time I think we would hear that is if she threw it in in vegas. iaf and hsml will not leave caesars and rooms will never be played again

I don't understand why IAF and HSML are for Vegas only??

[DavidMn]

I know this is a cant leave off the set song, but it isnt quitw as good as it used to be, through no fault of Stevie's

Riiiiiiiight

[redrover86]

I really don't think Stevie needs to do FM songs on her solo tours...or covers for that matter. I loved Rock n Roll, but she has enough solo material to do without both.

You guys don't like FFG? :shrug:
It's my favorite Stevie solo song...definitely a high point of the night for me.

[bikerchic]

Well, it's between FFG and INTK........


Drum roll please.................I Need To Know! :wavey: Bye, Bye.
