I'm very late to the discussion, but I really like that Silver Springs is on the tracklist.

Me too. It closes the book on the whole Silver Springs Stevie/Mick Timespace fiasco. I wonder which "original Fleetwood Mac version" will be included. The version that's on the b-side of the Go Your Own Way 45 has never been issued on CD (The version on The Chain box set is close, but it was again mixed differently--her backup vocals at the end were dropped down in the mix).

IMO Lindsey is doing it *right*...no *bestofs* just yet.

It's kind of hard to hard a best of when you had three hits and toured four times in 25 years :shrug:

Hey there to everyone!

I seldom post (obviously)... but felt compelled to join in on this conversation albeit late. I've been reading this thread with a lot of interest and just wanted to comment.

I've had a 'love affair' with Stevie for 20+ years and have seen her perform at last 30 times and met her twice. Each year I hope we'll get an album with NEW songs, but... doesn't seem to be reality. Thank God for the vast collection of high quality demos available. I think the tracklist for the new album is okay - the title is lame as hell! The DVD sounds great. May not be NEW material, but at least it's something. I'm holding out for the coffee table book of artwork and poetry. What a dream!

This debate about attending concerts... Life happens and can prohibit us from shelling out top dollar for tickets... so in that case, a video or audio recording is certainly better than nothing; however, I have to agree with SPARKY in that you really can't gauge the live performance by viewing a video. The energy - from Stevie or any performer for that matter - and the crowd is 50% of the experience. BUT! What I cannot understand is actually leaving to do ANYTHING while Stevie is on stage. :shrug: I've heard Landlslide, et al so many times I think... MY GOD... something, anything NEW! But when push comes to shove and she walks out on stage... she could be wearing a potato sack and sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and I'd love every second of it... and not move an inch.

Peace.

It's interesting to see who's getting drinks and otherwise occupied outside the room when the aforementioned songs come on. It's an odd mix of long time fans who've had enough, boyfriends who got dragged to the show, and people with hamster bladders. I've met some cool people outside the venue during Landslide and Rhiannon.

Yeah, sounds like you are biased...just like we are with Stevie. She is still gorgeous as ever. It would be hard for Linds to release a Best Of when most of the general public dont know more than about 2 of his solo songs at best.

The way I understand this is that there will be 2 versions - one just the CD, and a more expensive one with the CD & DVD. I don't think we know yet whether the CD/DVD set will actually 2 discs or one of Rhino's DualDisc releases (CD on one side, DVD on the other).

I'm not discussing this with Joe. Maybe he and I have different standards and expectations. That would be another discussion.

Well, I've never taken a leak or gotten a drink during "Landslide" or "Rhiannon", two of MY most ritualistic and special songs that Stevie performs. But I did decide to "leave" when she did "Gypsy" on the SYW Tour. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Good for you, Joe. I think I may have bailed on that one too. Never on BC, but Gypsy, sure.

I mean, don't get me wrong sparks, I could have left on "Peacekeeper" too, but like they say, timing is EVERYTHING! :laugh:

I always manage to get a bit pissed whenever masses in the crowd walk out on any song... Especially when Lindsey is ripping an orgasmic solo out! :angel:
