Folks on this board should refrain from speaking on behalf of Stevie fans. I am a die hard Stevie fan and I love to listen to her speak, just not in a concert setting. I can (and do) listen to her interviews for hours. She is an exceptionally interesting woman. However, when I go to see her perform, I want to hear her sing and dance and bewitch the crowd. I don't want to hear her talk incessantly. I feel a moderate amount of speaking, strategically placed in the setlist, can absolutely enhance the overall show. But to speak at great length between practically song, for me, is boring, excessive and distracting. It completely kills the music vibe. This is not right or wrong, it's just one Stevie fan's opinion. It doesn't make me any less of fan for feeling like this. Nor am I alone in my opinion.

Why don't you give us a break and allow people to offer their opinions, even when they don't agree with yours?

I think that there's a limit to how many songs Stevie can sing each night without compromising her voice, so even if she didn't talk between tunes it wouldn't change the number of songs in her setlist.

Well said, I agree with you. I was watching the show last night, and no one gives a sh about Sunset Sound. Or who called who. Or whatever. She need to stop all that, people were getting restless/irritable listening to her. "Just shut up and get on with it," I think is the quote that I heard. There's also nothing new or interesting with these stories! Stand Back story that she did last night was almost the exact same spiel from Storytellers, right down to Prince doing the "dee-dah, dee-dah, dee-dah" part. And she keeps name dropping... What's with Tom Petty's basement? No, we do not all wish we were there. All the talking really ages her, even when she doesn't stand up there and actually count the years on her fingers. That said, I've still got my front row center ticket so..

That's how I felt about her Gypsy speech from the FM tour. It felt endless and John and Lindsey and Christine all looked like they wanted to walk offstage. John even did a few times.

I LOVE the long stories between songs. Stevie barely spoke during the 80's at concerts. I think she personifies everything now, and I really enjoy it.

Well apparently I have offended a few Ledgies by claiming that most SN fans want to hear her stories. OK so that is obviously not true but the one thing you and I have in common is we both attended SN's concerts in the 1980's. And just like u, I wished she had talked more back then. I think that if like me and u, had one been a fan since the 1970's(don't know if you were tho but guessing u were) and followed her career all this time u might be enjoying this tour more than someone who is a more recent fan a la The Dance. This show is so refreshing. I love when any performer makes me feel like I am listening to them one on one and am always curious about the meaning of a song.

This is one of the things about the internet... now, we ALL know not just the entire set list, but all the stories behind each song. Between reading the intros here, or watching them them here or on YouTube, most fans have already heard the stories before we actually go to the concert.
I had the same reaction when I saw FM during the Dance tour, where Lindsey repeated almost ver batim the same comments he had made on the MTV special and ended with something like "Isn't that we-ei-ir-rd?!?" using the exact same inflections and everything! |

Stevie talked on stage in the 80's but half of what she said was babbles and made no sense. When I saw her in Pittsburgh in 1983 she did a great intro to Beauty and the Beast and talked about the movie, etc. I have a live recording of her in Chicago introducing the same song and its funny because she is coked out of her mind and not making clear sense "This is a story about a prince who got turned into a beast because..........we don't know what he did." Ok that explains it perfectly I miss the rambles but the Klonopin years were really sad. I saw her in 1989 and 1990 and she never spoke about anything.

I don't mind the stories and talking at all. It's who she is. Those people actually yelling out, "Get on with it!" - a lot of people these days have what I call Snapchat Attention Span - What's next! Hurry! Get on with it!
Stevie isn't about that and I don't see her changing anytime soon. People I know who have talked to her at length have said she's quite the talker. Now she's bringing that part of her personality to the stage. It is what it is. Jamie
