And she is playing the Hollywood Bowl. I am truly excited about that. First time as a headlining solo star at the Bowl. I’m starry eyed.

What a bold (bowled?) new venture! I am looking forward to hearing Stevie's interpretation of Beethoven's concerto No. 3.

I just literally spit out my beer, reading this! :lol:

A piano concerto no less. She'll be giving those two fingers quite a workout on the keyboard....

She can't even do Dreams without an Outside the Rain intro. :]

$he's quite the child(ish) prodigy.

Stevie sang "For What It's Worth" at her concert in Snowmass Village. Could she have chosen to perform it because she loves Stephen Stills? Has she covered this song before?

She's got three covers in her setlist now. I think the last time she did 3 covers live was in 2010 with You Wreck Me, Face The Promise, and Rock and Roll!

She covered a Stills song with that title, she didn't sing her FWIW from In Your Dreams?

She didn't sing FWIW from IYD. That would've been a good one to bring back! From IYD she sang Soldier's Angel (with a verse cut out) and Moonlight.

I don't understand why she's omitting so many masterpieces such as I Can't Wait, Long Way To Go, Twisted, Mabel Normand, even the huge hit Talk To Me.
She's run away from the In Your Dreams and 24 Karat Gold Tours Stevie Nicks and back to the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" Stevie. And she's charging a lot more than she did for 24 Karat Gold Tour!

But she did add a cover of Stills's FWIW?

Yes, Buffalo Springfield's FWIW, written by Stephen Stills. Recently performed by him and Billy Porter on live television.

She has said she would like to be thought of as a "Rock And Roll Woman," after the Stills-penned Buffalo Springfield song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QDpdS3Atyo

Apparently she said there will be a recorded version of the cover available within weeks.

Also tied in how she just recently discovered the importance of voting. And that made her want to record the song. That plus wanting to have recorded it since the first time she heard the original song.

I really just am hoping that while she was recording FWIW she was recording more of the songs she’s been talking about recently as well, and maybe FWIW is just the first taste of a potential new album?

Vampires Wife
FWIW
Unnamed romantic song

That’s 3 already.


But in reality it’s probably just another one off song that will have another video telling people to vote for 2022. Except This time it’s not even one actual new song.

I have a feeling The DNC reached out to her about doing a song for the U.S. midterm election campaigns for Democrats. This song was also used at the 2020 DNC Convention.
I don't see Stevie just wanting to record a cover as a one-off single. Crash Into Me and Circle Dance were recorded as part of a live show with a bunch of other songs. Rock and Roll was put on a compilation album.

It's so strange that she gave interviews in October of 2020 saying how much she wanted to perform her 2020 voting song live and it's not in her setlist.

Which is probably a good thing. It is a dreadful song and I do use that word loosely.

I don’t think it’s any secret that the whole Laurel Canyon scene, especially the Stephen Stills bands, were hugely influential on Stevie. I’m surprised they haven’t collaborated.

Also Stevie has said R&B music was hugely influential on her. People Get Ready would sound nice in her voice and with Sharon and Marilyn.

It's still a bit peculiar though.
Like if BuckVie had "World Turning" in their setlist but played the Peter Green version.

For what it's worth, I like the IYD song.

Here's the debut live performance of For What It's Worth

I guess the original song by B.S. doesn't have any high notes for the lead vocalist.

That was pretty boring?

I don't get it. So why are you reading this forum if you hate her that much? I know you have your reasons, but don't you think that by reading posts about SN you are torturing yourself?

Extremely. There was nothing interesting about that performance and I fail to understand why so much of her set is being devoted to covers while vast amounts of her own songs (her children!) are being completely forgotten to time. That set is dreadfully boring and seemingly on autopilot.

And this is a 20 something date tour. New stage production and media.
If you want to cover a song, do the one you did with Elton or Maroon 5!

This cross I bear gets mighty heavy sometimes....




Or does it?;)

Now that's funny!

Wise answer.

:laugh::laugh::laugh: You made my day.

Well, it was cool to hear Stevie sing a counterculture classic — all three notes of it.

One thing I would prefer she not do is sing Ram Jam’s Black Betty.

Jesus don’t even put that out in the universe. It would sound like a goat massacre

Nice performance of Gypsy from this weekend. Is that video on the screen from the On With The Show Tour?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScNSqVrJwSk

Oh yeah..same screens from 2014/2015, used again in 2018, and AGAIN for this tour.

It's hilarious how they can't even be bothered to attempt the guitar solo. That says everything you need to know.

^ Yeah, really! I checked, and they did the end solo (abbreviated, but still) during the 24 Karat Gold tour. Does she feel like the pressure is too great to keep "twirling" longer or something?

No, I think it's just Stevie wanting to keep the show flowing. Remember she cuts verses from songs (i.e. Annabel Lee in 2016, and now Edge of Seventeen, Soldier's Angel, Wild Heart, and Bella Donna) to either sing more songs or give her more time to shake her head during Gold Dust Woman and to greet the audience during Edge of Seventeen.

Fast spins for this Stand Back from last week. She seems really happy during these videos too.

Stevie going back to the higher parts after Carlos' solo in Dreams last night in Detroit!

Setlist is the same. Nothing but songs from 10+ years ago, including the covers.

Very good performance. I wanted to go to this show. She is not coming to Pittsburgh. (yet, anyway) and my step daughter lives in Clarkston. When we visit I always stay at the new hotel by Pine Knob. But I have travel plans tomorrow and it would have been too much to fly to Detroit and then come back today and fly again tomorrow to Virginia, so I didn't go.

I really was disappointed in this tour. I didn't like the look, or sound of her first shows. How much lower can her voice go? But it looks like now she may be shaking the rust off and I like the hair better now. She's moving better now too, but I think she had an ankle sprain earlier and that may have been what was causing the mobility issues. I just wish she would stop touring and do an album. Even if it's another 24Karat, that would be fine by me.

I was watching her dedication to the Queen the other day and she dedicated Landslide to her. She wrote a tribute that she read from a teleprompter. She said "imagine having a job for 70 years" I thought she said "Imagine having a dog for 70 years" I was in shock that Stevie would compare the Queen to a dog. But on another video it was clear she said job. :lol:
She really identified with the queen. One of her most commonly written statements in her journal is to always remind herself to "walk like a queen" on stage.

Well, Karen tells her she's a queen.:woohoo:
