Heart & Soul Tour 2011 Tour With Rod Stewart

[carol7lynn]

Mark & Brian of KLOS announced today that Stevie will be touring this spring with Rod Stewart. Tour is to begin March 20th in Ft. Lauderdale at the Bank Atlantic Centet and end April 16th at the Hollywood Bowl. I'm sure they'll talk it up today on Ellen. I live in LA and am not a big fan of the bowl.

SoCalGalI'm definitely going to the Hollywood Bowl show. What don't you like about it?

[Musicman408]

Unfortunately I won't be attending this- I'll live vicariously through other Ledgies. But a summer tour in support of "In Your Dreams" (that's really cool that we can say that now), I will definitely be there!

[Lee]

Well, I'd love to go to the Philly show though it is on a Tuesday night. But the Phillies are also there that night playing the Mets. I don't know if my husband can get off from work early & I know he'd say that he'd rather see the Phillies anyway. :rolleyes: The parking may be a problem. :shrug: I'll have to see what the ticket prices are going to be like & then we'll decide or I'll decide. ;)

Looking forward to March 26th, @ MSG. I saw Stevie play there in 86, and I saw Rod there in 89, and both were magical shows, with great audience feedback, which no doubt enhances the performance. So definitely excited to see the both of them together. :thumbsup:

[Edgeof27]

That was unbelievably brilliant,

Stevie, &, her "band" were right on target with their live rendition of "Stand Back",

it was absolutley amazing to see Stevie, Waddy, Jimmy, Lenny, Al, Carlos, Ricky, Sharon, &, Lois, blast us with an awesome version of Stand Back,

(too bad there was not a reprise),

disappointed not to see DavidMn, &, HejiraNYC in the audience,

anyway, the 28th January 2011, The Joint, 8177 West Pico, LA, just to touch base with the best R&R band around before they hit the road with Stevie

Ha Ha. What's not to love Viv. Stevie has given us all another great opportunity to enjoy, and I am grateful for that. Any way she goes about bringing us into her world is cool. The new album is also a treat. I don't have any preference as to what she puts out, rather than just a great feeling of the newness of it all, it truley brings me much joy. Thank you Stevie. :nod:

Two Legends – One Stage: Rod Stewart & Stevie Nicks The Heart & Soul 2011 North American Tour the Year’s Can’t Miss Rock & Roll Event
Tour Opening March 20, 2011 at Bank Atlantic Center in Ft. Lauderdale, Tickets On-Sale Beginning January 21, 2011

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ROD STEWART and STEVIE NICKS announced on The Ellen DeGeneres Show airing today, Thursday, January 13, (check local listings) that they have joined forces for one of the most anticipated musical events of the year, THE HEART & SOUL TOUR. Launching March 20, 2011 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the tour will unite two of music’s most legendary forces for a series of arena concerts throughout North America - with performances already confirmed in New York, Toronto, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Tampa, Montreal and more. Fans can tune-in to the show on Thursday, January 13 and log-on to watch their exclusive interview and performances. The tour will feature both artists performing all rock & roll sets from their incomparable catalogs of hits and backed by an incredible band of musicians and stage production. Tickets go on sale beginning Friday, January 21, visit rodstewart.com for details.

Said Rod Stewart: “We haven’t yet begun rehearsals but I can already tell you this, with Stevie on board our audiences are in store for an evening of pure rock & roll music. I’m already thinking about which of my old favourites to bring back and vocally, I think we’ve both begun thinking about which songs might be great fun and well-suited for a duet or two.”

In a career spanning five decades, with an estimated 250 million album and single sales, Rod Stewart is a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and indisputably one of the most successful performers of all time. He finished 2010 at the top of both the touring and album charts - highlighted by his critically-heralded, sold-out first run of concerts at The Colosseum in Las Vegas, a “Boxscore,” chart-topping, 33-date European summer tour which included 4 sold-out dates at London’s O2 Arena. Throughout his prolific career, he’s garnered 16-Grammy nominations, including his current for “Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album," and sales of more than one million albums worldwide for his 2010 album FLY ME TO THE MOON…THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK, VOLUME V.

Stevie Nicks, Rock and Roll's reigning queen, will be releasing her highly anticipated new CD “IN: YOUR DREAMS” on May 3, 2011. The new album, her first album of new material in a decade, was co-produced by former Eurythmic Dave Stewart and Glen Ballard. The new album is now available for fans to pre-order at stevienicks.warnerreprise.com. Fans who pre-order the CD will receive an instant download of the record's first single, the Nicks’ penned "Secret Love.” The official release date of the single is February 3rd. Nicks is a multi-Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and member of Fleetwood Mac.

Tickets for THE HEART & SOUL TOUR will go on-sale beginning January 21, 2011 at 10:00 AM local time. Additional North American on-sales will take place over the following few weeks as detailed in the below tour itinerary. Fans can view full tour details including all updated and added tour dates and on-sale information by visiting rodstewart.com and rockalittle.com.

Now that we know (well, "know") that there'll also be a solo summer tour to promote IYD, I'm actually very much looking forward to this collaboration as well.

How do we "know"?

Sorry I've been lurking and I'm trying to make up my mind whether to fly to Toronto for the April 2nd show or wait it out and hope she plays somewhere more affordable for me to get to.

Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet... Perhaps those $500 tickets are for some kind of "experience," e.g., backstage tour, VIP parking, free food, merchandise, etc. However, if that's just for a seat and nothing else, eff this shizz! :mad: Not paying that kind of money to see Rod Stewart.

Can I just take a moment to say that I ****ing love this? For the first time in FOREVER, something talks about Stevie Nicks and mentions Fleetwood Mac last. I hate that even when she does solo stuff, it seems like FLEETWOOD MAC pops up in the first sentence.

It IS a welcomed change! What did you think of "Secret Love", John?

[APerfectLie]

It IS a welcomed change! What did you think of "Secret Love", John?

Well, unlike many, I love the demo of Secret Love, but when I heard it was her new single I was bummed. I love the demo, but not so much that I cared to see her revive it. And I wasn't bummed so much that she chose to record it, I was bummed that it was the single. I was so ready to hear some NEW Stevie Nicks and the first thing I get in 8 years is a recycled song I have already heard plenty of times. But I went ahead and pre-ordered the album anyway, because even if it is an old song, it is a new recording and I must hear it! I must say after hearing it, my feelings made a complete 180! I love love love it! And I feel it is far superior to the demo! I still kinda wish she would have chosen more of a rocker as her single, but I'm thinking her second single will be a rocker that will debut around May 3.

[StandbackStevie]

If I do go to the show it will be at Mohegan Sun Arena only if the tickets are with in reason and I can swing it other wise will miss it I am sure she will be around again to tour this new cd at the middle or end of the summer fall tour 2011 if she comes around then will see the show otherwise. I am more excited about the new cd/dvd than the pricey Rod Stewart tour i hope its with in reason.

The Chicago show has just been listed on TM and the top price is "only" $149. Still high, but whoah-the-f*** cheaper than the Hollywood Bowl date. Big sigh of relief!! :blob2:

[priestofnothing]

I'm not sure where they came up with the "Heart & Soul" Tour title, but I just got an e-mail today notifying me of a Kenny G show for his "Heart & Soul" Tour, I guess that is the name of his latest album.

Just thought that was a strange co-inky-dink.

PS - Just to be clear... I am not a Kenny G fan, but I have seen many shows at the venue he is playing here and I am on their mailing list, not his.... "Don't Treat Me Like A Kenny G Fan...."

[HejiraNYC]

It's okay, honey; you can come out of the Kenny G fan closet. It's ai'ight. :wavey: We won't judge.






:lol: :lol: :lol: :eek:

[Nicks Fan]

The Montreal tix not show a price of $ 165 for the best seats in the house.

Matt

[SapphireSister]

I decided not to splurge on the $500 seats at The Hollywood Bowl here in L.A. and instead decided on the cheap seats ($148, ha!) and will save up the money for the all important solo tour. I'm still pissed at the $500 price tag for prime seating. I would so much have preferred for her to just tour solo. Instead the ticket prices are totally inflated because of all those darn Rod Stewart fans! :mad:

You are equipped with about 97 percent certainty knowledge that she WILL be touring JUST SOLO in the very near future, so you have the option to wait. I'm guessing you know that already and my reminder is pointless now since you already bought the ticket, unless I've enlightened you enough to scalp you ticket :laugh:

[StandbackStevie]

I will be passing the Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks Show at Mohegan Sun Arena on March 27th tickets are $141 and $192 too high of a price for me to go I will pass this mini tour and wait to see her later in the summer promoting her new cd. She will not be doing new songs with Rod Stewart I am sure until her new tour starts in the summer.


http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/1D0046291F8E363A?artistid=736200&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=1

[StandbackStevie]

I have seen every tour since 1986 this mini tour with Rod Stewart will be my first missed tour since 1986.

[Tango]

Since the album won't be out yet, I doubt Stevie is going to do any new material except maybe one new song. Here is what I think her setlist might look like:

Stand Back
Outside The Rain
If Anyone Falls
New Song (Secret Love?)
Dreams
Gold Dust Woman
Landslide
Duet with Rod Stewart
Circle Dance (LOL)
I Need To Know
Face The Promise (LOL)
Edge of Seventeen
Rock and Roll (LOL)
Has Anyone Ever Written...(dedicated to the shooting victims in Arizona, I think Stevie would feel very strongly about that since she has Arizona roots)

After the album drops and she's finished with the 13 Rod Stewart tour dates, perhaps another tour later in the summer, this time strictly promoting the new album.

I couldbe wrong. Just a hunch. :shrug:


I think your set list is too long for this Rod outting. Maybe 8 songs.

[Zanobbi]

I'm not sure where they came up with the "Heart & Soul" Tour title, but I just got an e-mail today notifying me of a Kenny G show for his "Heart & Soul" Tour...[/I]

Oh, oh, I see it clear: Stevie and Rod embracing and singing a duet while Kenny plays sax, same mic for the three of them… In my horrible nightmare I even recognized the song: “You don’t bring me flowers” :shocked:...
I don’t know who was the one planning this tour, but the whole thing sucks. We don’t want to see Rod Stewart. And who cares about DAVE Stewart? The only Stewart we would love to hear dueting with Stevie is Sandy, and this is not going to happen… So please, no Rod, no Dave, no covers... And no Kenny G!!

[StandbackStevie]

Since the album won't be out yet, I doubt Stevie is going to do any new material except maybe one new song. Here is what I think her setlist might look like:

This is what I think the set list would be give or take a few songs but i would say close my guess.

Outside The Rain
Dreams
You Wreck Me
If Anyone Falls
Rhiannon
Sorcerer
Leather and Lace (Duet with Rod Stewart)
Standback
Gold Dust Woman
How Still My Love
Landslide
Edge of Seventeen
Love Is

[Kena]

I can't believe I'm saying this butttt... the only way I'm going is if I can get cheap tickets the day of the show. Ya see, last year I paid about $115 bucks a ticket to see Tom Petty and CSN (I'd say comparable to the Rod Stewart/Stevie bill- at least in my mind) in Atlanta. I bought my tickets through Ticketmaster a few days after they went on sale. Well that was all fine and dandy until the morning of the show when I checked ticketmaster and they had last minute/need to fill the seats up tickets for $20...in the same section my tickets were for. Should I be worried about getting a ticket? I'll be driving 4 hours to maybe go see the show.

I'd pay twice that much for Stevie solo...possibly triple for Fleetwood Mac. But Stevie and Mr. Hot Legs... I donno.

[jkmaletic]

Im skipping this tour too. Closest venue for me is hollywood bowl, which is the last show of the tour and its on a saturday night. Odds of getting good seats are slim, not to mention the top tier ticket price on tm is $319. Id pay that much to see steve solo, but not sharing the stage. Hopefully when she solo tours she will hit orange county and/or san diego area.

[Buddy]

Too high a price for sitting through half a concert with Rod Stewart. I'll pass. This is the only tour I've passed on in a very long time. Love Miss Nicks, but I'll wait for the new cd tour.

[Jondalar]

The ticket prices seem really, really high. I think I'm going to wait for Stevie and Dave Stewart.

[greendaze5]

The Montreal tix not show a price of $ 165 for the best seats in the house.

Matt

Another yikes! :shocked:

I did think that $48 to $115 was a little low compared to what other venues are charging.

Still, $165 is outta my ball park. I'll go for the mid range price. I assume there will be giant screens on the side, so sitting farther back is not a big deal to me.

Anyone else going to the Montreal show (April 1)? :wavey:

Roland

[Christopher]

Let's juts hope the tour is not a HUGE HUGE success and they end up going out on a 2nd leg:distress:

did you get a presale ticket?

I will try to go to her In Your Dreams tour this summer instead of the Rod Stewart tour too pricey for me if it was her her tour and just her for 3 hours would get a ticket.

[pattyfan]

I was really bummed that there weren't any Bay Area shows, but with those ticket prices, I really hope that they don't add any, because at least this way I can feel like I don't have the choice. God, in the middle of this terrible economy, how can they charge so much? :(

Kevin

[Deniedwings]

Does anybody know what the internet presale password is for the NYC show?

[Kena]

I think I just changed my mind about going to see the Rod/Stevie show....First I wanted to hate on Rod- cause he ain't as sexy as he thinks and no, he doesn't have hot legs. Then I saw this

<iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/7RkWs6P2IwE" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe>

I'd love to see our girl perform this with Rod. I'd melt.

[skcin]

I doubt they will do a song together. :sorry: I wish they would - I actually don't mind Rod's music (mostly his older stuff.)

I know she did a few with Henley & vice versa in '05, but the Two Voices tour was billed as more of a special event pairing. I mean, her shows with Chris Isaak yielded no duets. :shrug: So I would be pleasantly surprised, but I'm not holding my breath.

[StandbackStevie]

I would think if they do a duet it would be two one for each other sets i would see them doing on Stevie's set Leather and Lace and The First Cut is The Deepest I can hear Stevie and Rod doing during his set. would be my guess.

[CADreaming]

I would think if they do a duet it would be two one for each other sets i would see them doing on Stevie's set Leather and Lace and The First Cut is The Deepest I can hear Stevie and Rod doing during his set. would be my guess.

I think you may be right.

[Jondalar]

Rod Stewart loves Leather and Lace so that is definitely one they are doing.

[10kRedSolids]

Rod Stewart loves Leather and Lace so that is definitely one they are doing.

Agreed. It will probably be the single duet they will do during Stevie's set. I think she'll probably join him on one of his songs during his set as well, and maybe one more at the end of the show. Her setlist will probably end up looking something like this:

Fall From Grace
Outside The Rain
Dreams
Secret Love
Sorcerer
If Anyone Falls
Leather And Lace (w/ Rod)
Rhiannon
Stand Back
Gold Dust Woman
Landslide
Edge Of Seventeen
Love Is

[Kena]

Maybe Rod will sing Rhiannon and Stevie will sing Do you think I'm sexy. Forget the duet. They should straight up mock each other. I would pee my pants a little. He he.

[sodascouts]

Yikes, I hope they have the good sense not to attempt "Leather and Lace." His voice is not suited for that kind of subtle, aching, romantic vocal that Don Henley perfected. Rod needs something raggedy like "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around." Plus, I put little stock in the fact that it was the song that occurred to him off the top of his head when he was put on the spot in an interview.

More likely they'll do a cover at the encore (along the lines of "So You Wanna Be a Rock and Roll Star") - if they do anything at all.

Time will tell if I'll have to eat my words!

[ragrsrocalot]

Happy to hear that the MSG show, sold out. They have added another show on April 6th. :nod:

[Nikolaj]

^No, kidding, already?! I guess Rod still is a big draw and this could be very smart. Wonder if the tour will get more dates added to it beyond the additional MSG show. I can't remember the last time SN or FM sold out a concert this quickly. Years and years. Probably 'The Dance' '97 tour.

[LukeA]

Of course they are going to do at least one song together! Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to have their head examined. No offense, but, seriously. All gimmick double-bill tours have at least one collaboration... and the fact that Rod talked about it on Ellen? (where he was on the same stage as Stevie promoting their tour?)

??!??!??

[LukeA]

SYW '03 had a couple quick sellouts.

And this package is only together for +/- 30 days. Save for one or two more dates added, WYSIWYG.

[Nikolaj]

^
I think the 2nd MSG show is now the 14th show announced, or am I way off? Would you predict or prefer not to, that it could turn into 30 dates, if sales are strong?
I wonder if it is a purposely short tour to see if Rod's voice can stand the strain of singing rock again. I think this will be his first rock tour since his throat (thyroid) cancer surgery years ago.

[DavidMn]

SYW '03 had a couple quick sellouts.

And this package is only together for +/- 30 days. Save for one or two more dates added, WYSIWYG.SO with Kansas City added on April 12th, which city do you think it the most likely to be added in addition to that one? I'm thinking Denver and St Louis are the most likely possibilities.

Rod's team has been promoting the crap out of the show. This week he going on Larry King. Those shows are going to sale out. He's happy. He wanted rock n roll and he thinks that Stevie is a guarantee that it's going to be rock n roll. They are going to make oodles of money from this. I bet they keep adding shows and she pushes back her own tour.

[Jondalar]

I wonder it they should up the release date of her album to take advantage of this.

[Nikolaj]

^ Excellent, thought, j.
I don't want to misspell your name, jondalar- I'm sorry- that's why the 'j' above- I was close!
Any reason to move up the release is great with me, but if this turns into a really hot-ticket sellout tour, I think it would be very smart to get the cd out earlier, sell it at the concerts, happy audiences buy stuff on the way out.

[APerfectLie]

I would love if they added a Texas date if the tickets are reasonable.

[LukeA]

SO with Kansas City added on April 12th, which city do you think it the most likely to be added in addition to that one? I'm thinking Denver and St Louis are the most likely possibilities.

Not St. Louis, no chance. Not with KC already being on the 12th. Denver fits, assuming (as they should be able to) they can clear the 13th from Nuggets/Avalanche playoff holds (which shouldn't be a problem)

My opinion, though? There won't be a show added in that window.

[10kRedSolids]

Of course they are going to do at least one song together! Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to have their head examined. No offense, but, seriously. All gimmick double-bill tours have at least one collaboration... and the fact that Rod talked about it on Ellen? (where he was on the same stage as Stevie promoting their tour?)

??!??!??

I think they should perform this song together, with Rod on lead vocals of course:

Nothing will be on the 14th- they won't do three in a row. Denver is certainly larger than KC, and a far better concert market (generally speaking)... its definitely the "favorite" out of anything that could be added in that spot.

[ragrsrocalot]

Things seem to be going well for the tour so far. :thumbsup:

PS. I would love to hear them do Stay With Me as a duet.

[DallasDude]

It seems that dates are being added to the Rod+Stevie tour, which makes me wonder about the fate of her solo tour. I just can't imagine her going out alone a few months later to sing all the same songs again. Outside of her devoted fan base that follows her every move, the general public is not going to be saying "I'll wait until she's performing solo." They have no idea she's going to be going out again this summer, which is why the majority of people that like her, will most likely think this Rod+Stevie show is the one to see.

As a promoter, how can they re-package her for a later solo tour? She either will be playing only select cities at smaller venues, or the solo tour is going to offer something much different in songs sung. If I was organizing her solo tour, I'd have her perform 4 songs from the new album, then have an online contest in every city booked, posting 5 catalog songs rarely if ever performed, and have people who purchase tickets then have the opportunity to choose which 2 songs they want to her her sing in their city. The top 2 vote-getting songs would be performed, and the remainder of the show would be chestnuts of her choosing.

The only other possible plan that may be in the motion is hoping the Rod+Stevie tour catches fire, they add on another late summer leg, and she then performs whatever 1-2 songs from the new CD that have become fan favorites by summer.

Thoughts???

[LukeA]

All fair questions.

Of course, we are making, in my opinion, the rather bold assumption that Stevie actually wants to tour her solo album, and isn't just content with this month out with Rod and her usual mishmash of casinos & zoo amphitheaters (following the Don Henley template)

You'd soon find yourself out of a job.Are sure this wasn't meant for a Tori Amos fan forum?:laugh:

[Christopher]

If this tour with Rod is a smash success, I predict they (LiveNation, Stevie & Rod's management) will push to ride it out as long as they can, while cross promoting both Rod & Stevie's latest releases. So if that the case I can totally see the possibility of a 2nd leg added for the summer. As of now the tour dates end April 16th, just in time for Stevie to concentrate on promoting In Your Dreams in press/radio & TV. while possibly do a few smaller things with Dave Stewart. So if this Heart & Soul mini tour hints to be as successful as the Taylor/King outing, Stevie stands to bank major$$, and she is the practical one, has a huge entourage to support and loves being part of the big rock n' roll pomp and circumstance.:rolleyes:

doing a full on Stevie Nicks solo tour (without any hangers on) to support her first new album in ten years would be an excellent vehicle to "reinvent" her live show and add some much needed newness into the Stevie Nicks brand. Instead, we will be seeing a shortened version of the same live show we've she's done for the past ten or so years which has become nothing more than an oldies act. Another missed opportunity...Maybe it's time Stevie retires to Vegas so she can sing Rhiannon and Stand Back 5 times a week.

[LukeA]

So if this Heart & Soul mini tour stands to be as successful as the Taylor/King outing

Yeah, in their dreams (no pun intended). Its already well short of that tour package (which was arguably the tour of the year last year).

They have no idea she's going to be going out again this summer, which is why the majority of people that like her, will most likely think this Rod+Stevie show is the one to see.

From what I can tell, the scope of this tour with Rod is extremely limited. Sure, they can tack on more dates, but I just don't foresee this as being some kind of traveling circus that goes on for the entire summer. I suspect that the Hollywood Bowl date(s) is a hard-stop for Stevie since she will probably spend the next few weeks pushing her album hard- doing print and TV interviews, doing the chat show circuit, perhaps even a CD signing! And Rod appears to have some European dates in June that may/may not be part of a larger Euro trek for him.


As a promoter, how can they re-package her for a later solo tour? She either will be playing only select cities at smaller venues, or the solo tour is going to offer something much different in songs sung.

I suspect that Stevie's hardcore base (which seems to be within a 200 mile radius of NYC and LA!) will turn out no matter what. Stevie, as well as FM, always criss-cross these areas multiple times during a single tour. That leaves the other 90% of the country, which has been largely bypassed on this Two (non) Blondes Tour. Major markets like DC, SF, Dallas, Houston, Seattle, Denver, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Houston, etc. have yet to be tapped.


If I was organizing her solo tour, I'd have her perform 4 songs from the new album, then have an online contest in every city booked, posting 5 catalog songs rarely if ever performed, and have people who purchase tickets then have the opportunity to choose which 2 songs they want to her her sing in their city.

:lol:

If/when Stevie does her own solo tour during the summer (two months, give or take), I seriously doubt she will be up for doing another leg with Rod immediately thereafter; Mama gotta get a load off her feets! IF there is a second leg with Rod, it will probably extend into the fall. I do hope she doesn't do this. I hope she ends her solo tour in the summer, retreats to her safe place, and starts writing songs for the next FM album or works on the Rhiannon project or something. The fact that she still has not recorded/released any of these Rhiannon songs gives me some hope that the project is still alive and that she is merely hoarding these songs until she is ready to start working in earnest.

[HejiraNYC]

Yeah, in their dreams (no pun intended). Its already well short of that tour package (which was arguably the tour of the year last year).

Was the first MSG show truly a "sellout?" I suspect that they are trying to create an artificially constrained inventory of seats to spur demand for a second show.

Also, weren't prices to the James Taylor/Carole King shows a bit cheaper- like in the $125-135 tops? Surely ticket price weighs in heavily on the demand side of the concert biz!

[DallasDude]

I live in Dallas, and I got an email from AMEX saying I could soon pre-buy tixs for Rod+Stevie coming to Dallas and Houston. I suspect we will be seeing a lot more cities pop-up on the tour.
If the tour is a success, I just can't see them ending it in mid April.

[DavidMn]

Just added to TM. Sunday, April 17, second Hollywood Bowl show.:nod:

My only thing about the Rod Stewart tour is obviously Stevie is missing a golden opportunity to sell her new album. I mean this is really high profile. She should have her album for sell.

This will be her greatest album ever. No doubt about it. All the songs on it will be of the same quality as The Nightmare.

I think 2 things are pretty obvious now having read the last few posts.


#1. there will not be a show on April 13. No way in hell are they doing 3 nights in a row without having at least 2 nights off before.



#2. That the Rod/Stevie tour will go on for awhile, I'm guessing the middle of May, thich would allow for about 20 more shows to be added on.




Just my guess. I could be wrong of course!:laugh:

With all due respect, there is absolutely zero chance that she will not tour off the release of this new CD. Stevie finds a reason to tour pretty much every year (even when most of the time, there's really no reason for her to). Do you really think she's going to skip over the opportunity to tour off her first CD in a decade? Not gonna happen. She will definitely tour by herself this year - Starting no earlier than May and no later than July - I promise ;)

[Wildheart82]

My friend heard on KLOS they added a show to the Hollywood Bowl on April 17th.

[RockAlot]

My friend heard on KLOS they added a show to the Hollywood Bowl on April 17th.

They did add another Hollywood Bowl show due to overwhelming demand for tickets! Soooo they are no doubt adding shows, but I too cant see Stevie not doing a solo tour in support of her release?

[michelej1]

Yes, I am surprised they would do 3 in a row but she is only playing 75 min. I'm sure the money has ALOT to do with adding shows--especially in LA. She is home and that is likely the end of the line for the tour.

[mitzo]

I also wonder about the toll all the touring will take on Stevie's voice and energy.

[LukeA]

I also wonder about the toll all the touring will take on Stevie's voice and energy.

Huh? Its 16 shows total!

[pattyfan]

Does anyone know or can anyone speculate why they aren't doing a San Francisco/Bay Area show? I"m just curious. With the price of tickets, I'm actually hoping that they don't, because I know I'll end up going if they do. :)

Kevin

[AliceLover]

Huh? Its 16 shows total!

It only took 15-20 shows on the Unleashed tour for her vocals to completely slip. I don't understand why she doesn't take longer breaks in between shows. Even if she did a show every two days, it would be better for her. I can only imagine how much energy it must take to travel, let alone put on a 2 hour rock show. I think she needs to give herself more time when she tours.

I'm hoping they don't come to Texas too for that very reason! I was talking to my mom the other day about it and she was like, "There are two people I've always wanted to see live, Stevie Nicks and Rod Stewart!" so I feel like if they come to Texas I'd most definitely buy tickets!

It would be pretty surprising if they didn't.

I'm thinking that a San Jose show is in the offing for either Wed April 20/Thu April 21, with Tacoma on Sat April 23, Vancouver Sun April 24. Just going to get that on record as educated speculation (I have no inside scoop on this).

I tend to think the tour will end with the Hollywood Bowl shows, though... its just nagging at me that the Bay Area wasn't simply "skipped", and the general knowledge that Saturday nights at the Tacoma Dome (to cover the Seattle/Portland markets) have historical proven just too juicy for Live Nation to pass up just makes me think it could happen

[jwd]

#1. I posted a few days ago there would be no date added for the 13th but a Hollywood Bowl date would likely be added.

#2. This is very unlikely.

Yep. I think once Stevie's album is released in May, the Rod /Stevie love affair will come to a screeching halt and she'll be in the arms of another man, namely Dave Stewart for the summer and fall. She's such a BAD girl!

[LukeA]

This tour w/ Rod undercuts her ability to tour solo in any of the markets that the package is hitting. That's why I'm thinking there won't be a "proper" solo tour, unless you consider her playing sheds in the markets that were missed & the usual casinos a "proper" solo tour. She can't do a show at, say, Jones Beach this summer... not after playing MSG twice.

[mezzoforte]

I have no idea, and I wouldn't be surprised if Camp Stevie doesn't know either at this point. There'll be a lot of factors at play in deciding whether to continue Heart and Soul, and they're probably trying to keep options open at this point.
But if the tour starts off on a King/Taylor trajectory (I don't think it'll reach those levels, but that's what they're aiming for), I don't think they'll part ways in May.

It's debatable whether this partnership is good or bad for Stevie (I'm leaning towards good, at this point). But the person who very definitely loses in all of this? Dave Stewart. The man timed his release to Stevie's and planned on touring with her. Now even if she does tour solo this summer it'll likely be on a smaller scale than it would have been, and publicity leading up to the release will focus on the tour and Rod Stewart involvement.
Although if there's any truth to the rumours, Stevie may decide to ditch Rod earlier than necessary and tour with Dave for reasons more personal than professional.

[APerfectLie]

I highly doubt this tour will last past April. I was surprised that Stevie signed on the be an opening act to begin with, so I believe she is doing this mainly to finance her record. I think her shows back in August helped bring in some cash for making the record and now this Rod tour will help bring in cash to promote the album. Plus, it got her name out there again. But I don't think Stevie is just joining in on this tour for ****s and giggles and would willingly sail on thru June or July promoting her album as an opening act. I also don't think it is going to kill her market for a summer tour. I'm sure her summer tour will start up in late May/early June and will run thru August and all the places she hit with Rod will be the last places she hits again at maybe a smaller venue with lower ticket prices.

Stevie has plenty of money. Funds gained from performing didn't necessarily pay for any recording activity. She did the tour with Rod because a package tour is the only way she would be able to play large venues as a solo act, and receive the commensurate paycheck.

I also don't think it is going to kill her market for a summer tour. I'm sure her summer tour will start up in late May/early June and will run thru August and all the places she hit with Rod will be the last places she hits again at maybe a smaller venue with lower ticket prices.

Why would Stevie play at a smaller venue with lower ticket prices? I'm not being flip. Seriously, why? What/where is the indication that she would ever so such a thing? (looking for a more plausible reason than "for the fans/album")

[LukeA]

Those of you who think that now that Stevie has album to promote that she'll be hitting every market to tour with it (as if that isn't a concept that died off somewhere around 1995), Rod Stewart be damned, should take a closer look at what happened with 2001's "tour to promote TISL". Shows were being canceled (and not re-scheduled) left and right, while at the same time, shows were being added in markets where she could make the most money (casinos/repeat plays of bigger markets), resulting in a scenario where Stevie barely touched the Midwest.

Stevie does have plenty of money, but why would she ever want to finance her own album out of her pocket? Especially when she has opportunities given to her where she could bring in plenty of money to finance the new album and still give her some profit. I think both last years summer tour and the Rod tour were presented to her and she maybe wasn't initially open to the ideas, but she decided to undertake them so she could offset any money she is having to spend on this album. Granted, she could end up touring with him all summer, I just think she'd rather tour on her own, even if it means she may not make as much money. Why would she play smaller venues with a lower ticket price? Supply and demand. There is a much higher demand for Rod Stewart AND Stevie Nicks because you are drawing fans from both fan bases, therefore they have to play larger venues and have the freedom to charge astronomical prices. But when Stevie tours on her own, there is much less demand. Therefore she doesn't have to freedom to play 20,000 seat venues like MSG. Therefore she'd probably hit a smaller venue, such as a 5000-10,000 seat venue, or even Jones Beach, but the tickets would have to be priced significantly lower than Heart & Soul tour to draw in more people, lower prices= higher demand, and the date would have to be late summer. The tour will definitely affect her market in the summer, but not by any unmanageable means. I'm not saying she's going to rock out at Antone's with $35 tickets

Hmmm... okay... but wouldn't the laws of supply and demand dictate that the larger the supply, i.e., the larger the arena; the lower the demand, i.e., ticket prices? :shrug: The facts are simply that with the Heart and Soul tour, you're supposedly getting twice the bang for the buck; surely people would have had to pay $100+ for tickets to see them individually, so they're getting about a 25% "package discount." So, yes, inevitably the ticket prices will go down and the venues will get smaller when they tour separately, but that has more to do with getting less product rather than less demand.

I think if/when Stevie does her own solo tour behind the album, she will come back to a number of these markets again, but instead of playing multiple dates within 100-200 miles of each other, she will play one or two. In the greater NYC area, she used to play PNC Bank Arts Center + Atlantic City + Jones Beach + Mohegan. Now I'm thinking she will just hit the casinos in AC and CT and bypass the sheds. She will also go to the markets she skipped, like Cleveland, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, D.C., SF, Seattle/Tacoma, Vegas, St. Louis, Minneapolis, etc. Perhaps places like Kansas City will be skipped the second time around...

There is an excessively overwhelming demand for Stevie Nicks AND Rod Stewart when they are only playing 16 shows, so to lower the demand to something manageable, they have huge venues at higher prices and add a few shows to the places that are selling out. That then affects the market in the areas they play, but people here are making it seem as if Stevie won't be able to tour those general areas again in the summer. All I am saying is she easily can if she tours those places as late as possible, and in the worst case scenario, they may have to drop the ticket prices and play a somewhat smaller venue than normal to increase the demand instead of just skipping NY all together.


Just because she's not touring doesn't mean she's not traveling....

I'm not saying anything about her traveling. I'm saying that over the past decade, Stevie has managed to tour every year even if she had nothing new to promote. To think she is going to sit this summer out when she has a brand new album to promote is absurd.

[sodascouts]

I would be surprised if she didn't tour for In Your Dreams on some scale, but I am not so foolish as to insist that my speculation is definitive and everyone else's is delusional. Even well-informed speculation can still prove groundless depending on changing circumstance - remember the Fleetwood Mac / Eagles tour rumors that came to nothing?

Time will tell.

I don't dislike The Nightmare at all.

Well, I must say that in my opinion, its name is very apt. ;)

Everything is speculation at this point, of course... but well-informed speculation based on *certain* circumstance (assuming, say, the two MSG shows go on as planned) has merit.

And you know just as well as I do that the FM/Eagles tour was more than just a rumor.

Did anyone notice how there's a slight ticket price difference in the 2 Hollywood Bowl

It just looks like some of the price levels aren't available in the Amex pre-sale, that's all :shrug:

[RockAlot]

I've cut & pasted this from one of the tic. ads for the show:

both artists performing all rock & roll sets from their incomparable catalogs of hits and backed by an incredible band of musicians and stage production.

Stage production? Wonder if we will get this Fabulous stage set? As we all know Stevie's set are pretty blah? And thats just fine by me.

Or are they talking about the stage production of the musicians?

Vancouver (April 22) and Seattle (April 23) are listed on ticketmaster.

[pattyfan]

Dang, I guess that means that they are going to add a Bay Area show. How are you all feeling about the steep ticket prices? :)

[DavidMn]

Vancouver (April 22) and Seattle (April 23) are listed on ticketmaster.I wonder why this took so long?

[DavidMn]

Well, Luke may want to correct me, but I think there will be a show added in between April 17th and the 22nd. my guess would be in the Bay area. I would say 2 shows, but after playing 3 nights in a row I highly doubt they'll schedule more than one in between L.A and Vancouver. Oh btw, Hey Luke, why do you think they're playing Key Arena and not the Tacoma Dome?

[daniellaaarisen]

I'm actually kinda pissed they're playing Seattle.... it makes me feel obligated to go but at the same time, I do NOT want to spend $400 on a ticket (and that's what Ticketmaster has listed right now).

Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks have added a Vancouver stop to their co-headlining tour, which was named one of Billboard magazine's best bets of 2011. Hot Rod and the Fleetwood Mac frontwoman, who launch their "Heart & Soul" tour next month in Florida, will perform at Rogers Arena April 22. Tickets start at $25 and go up to $235 (plus the usual service charges), and go on sale Feb. 28 at 10 a.m. at Ticketmaster.ca and Livenation.com.

I wasn't planning to see Rod and Stevie. Planned to see Stevie later when she tours for her new CD. Now if they're going to be in Seattle I want to go:blob1: Closer to where I live but those ticket prices are crazy for the good sections! :distress: My hubby might divorce me if I spent $400 for a ticket. :lol: Really hope those prices are not what they expect fans to pay.

[DavidMn]

Ok, everyone just relax about the Seattle ticket prices. There is clearly a misprint. It says the ticket service charges are over $300 a ticket. That's impossible. I'm sure once they get the official information posted as to when the show goes on sale this will be corrected.:nod:

I don't want to pay more than $200 and I'm not gonna go if I don't have a good seat.... so this is probably not going to happen, but whatever!

I'm still bitter over my Hollywood Bowl tickets being $320 for prime seating. I bought a cheaper seat ($140) for the Sat night show but will consider going again on Sunday if I can find a great seat for a more reasonable price.

Regardless, I'm saving up for some solo tour dates this summer now that I asked Stevie herself if the tour was happening and she confirmed it was. I'll probably do a couple So Cal dates and one in No Cal with my mom. :nod:

New album tour with new songs, woot woot!! :blob1:

Rod Stewart Refuses To Rehearse With Stevie Nicks

Stevie Nicks will have to live with compromise ahead of her tour with Rod Stewart, says the British singer, because she likes to rehearse and he doesn't.

Stewart has just become a dad for the eighth time after wife Penny Lancaster gave birth to a boy called Aiden on Wednesday. The proud dad already has plenty on his plate for this year including his upcoming tour with Nicks and a long-awaited album with former bandmate Jeff Beck.

He reports: "In the Faces we never rehearsed. I always liked there to be an element of risk in any show. When things go wrong I love it – so we'll have to meet in the middle."

[Nikolaj]

I never know what I will end up doing, but right now I am thinking I really don't want to see Rod Stewart to see Stevie, and will wait for the 'In Your Dreams' proper tour after May.
Sure, it'd be cool to see her sing on 'First Cut Is The Deepest' but I don't know. I've never wanted to see Rod Stewart before, so maybe it comes down to that. Youngsters here don't know, probably, but in your 40s, it gets depressing to see an arena filled with 50 and 60 somethings, which happens a lot. People in their 3os and 40s I can deal with, and I do enjoy seeing the younger crowd, but really, they're outnumbered by far.
I don't need thousands of people older than me reminding me how old I am and that I've been seeing my favorite singer since I was a teenager, or hearing about getting older again in 'Landslide'- Ugh, already. She'd actually retired 'Landslide' for a tour or two. Retire it again!
Plus, invariably I get seated next to a 55 year old housewife and always have some fat-ass security guard crush against me to get to someone with a camera or cell recording the show. How I wish they'd find a new way to crack down that doesn't involve stepping on me.
I find it interesting that more than usually, the cost is a factor- I think we accept it for SN or FM, but throw Rod Stewart in his late or mid-late 6os into the mix, and it kind of makes me think once, twice, or ten times about it. The security thing is intolerable, I understand it, but it's never me doing it, and it's just an intrusion.
See you there.

Ha! This post made me laugh! Yeah those of us that have been following Stevie a long time remember that it was a treat when she pulled out Landslide on the BTM & TS tours after it not being in her show since basically the Tusk tour:shocked: I don't mind seeing the old people, Hell, time is marching on & now that I'm officially in my 40's I find it fascinating to see so many young fans come out to see Stevie and FM.

no, no - tickets the other day were showing up around 467.
glad they fixed it.

the only reason it's a bummer of an obligation is because
she may schedule like, a portland date by herself this summer
and I liveat the coast, so that's closer. and I just think portland is
a nicer city. city of roses, she hasn't played here since shangrila
like july of 01.
and the chance is always there that something could
come up to prevent from going to both, you know?

I definitely won't miss her this year. I too spent lots of money tosee her in vegas, though in 07.

Thanks for the heads up! It is now listed on the Oracle Arena website. I am so glad they added this date. I was originally planning to go to Los Angeles, but thought twice. I wasnt sure I'd still be employed. This means I can still see the show & not have to spend money I should be holding onto.

:laugh: She must be shaking in her boots! We all know she is so into her comfort zone and how rotely she performs her songs on stage. This will be a good thing for her. Having said that though, I thought that they already had a rehearsal place set up. Rod changed his mind? What gives? I'm questioning how well these two are going to get along on this tour. :woohoo:

[jkmaletic]

I'm skipping it. It's way too expensive for a show where she shares the stage and time with someone else. Not to mention getting a good seat at the Hollywood Bowl wouldn't be an easy feat. I'm gonna save my $$ to go to 2-3 shows when she solos for IYD.

I was thinking that the level of success of the Rod/Stevie tour will probably determine what size venues she will play when she solo tours. If the Rod /Stevie tour only has moderate success as a double-bill show, don't you guys think that Stevie will probably play smaller venues when she tours for IYD?? I'm interested to hear your thoughts on that...

Just purchased my ticket for the Hollywood Bowl Sat. night show! Pulled up decent tickets today sec. N3, just to the left center for a decent price, $82.50 + fees.
Thought I'd better jump on it, it was either this or the Oakland show. My mom live's like 20/30 min. from Hollywood so I can stay @ her house, plus its a Sat. night so no need to request time off from work.

out of curiosity, what do you guys think stevie will perform in her set?

when ellen asked rod what stevie songs he was looking forward to hearing, he said leather and lace and landslide. so i guess she'd perform those.

stevie said she's performing secret love.

the press release said that they'll be performing nothing but their rock and roll hits. what else?

[RockAlot]

Great! I'll see you there!:cool:

Then this time we will!! I meet up with several people @ the Tahoe show but not the Santa Barbara show....

[Keith]

out of curiosity, what do you guys think stevie will perform in her set?
?

She's going to play pretty much the same setlist (with a few tweeks) that she played last year. I'm mean, she's playing in front of a lot of fans who are coming to hear Rod Stewart.. I don't think she'll stray too much from her perpetual setlist.. I mean if she can't mix it up at her solo shows when she's the star, I doubt she will mix it up too much with the audience she'll be playing in front of... hopefully we will get "Secret Love"

This is not a criticism, just how I feel the concert show with Rod Stewart will play out. I'm just really looking forward to seeing her in New York at the Garden.. I think if she rocks out like she did last summer, she may acquire quite a few new fans.. it might be the same old songs to us, but too a lot of folks coming to these shows.. it's going to be Stevie Nicks live that they probably had no idea how she can rock it.. it will be fresh too them.. and they are coming to hear the "hits"... just saying..

[UnwindedDreams]

I'm also going to the Garden. I can't wait! Although I'm upset that they're not playing the Verizon Center in DC.

I can't imagine her playing You Wreck Me and Face the Promise at these shows. I hope she at least brings back Stop Draggin' My Heart around, even if it's with Waddy. I'm guessing she'll play at most 15 songs.

It's funny that a lot of Rod's hits are covers.

[Keith]

wish there was a DC verizon center show, since I live near the arena and it would be a much better ride..

BUT, I will make up any reason to visit New York City, since i find it to be the most fascinating place... I could wander around the East Village for days just taking it all in... even working on getting tickets to the Garden next weekend for the Big East Tourney to see my Irish play.

anyways, back to the topic on hand. I've been checking the Ticketmaster god daily, hopefully pulling up a "front of the floor" section seat.. pulled up an aisle seat in section 228 this morning and went ahead and bought it. This is the same section that I saw Bruce Springsteen and the ESB back in 2009 when they played - front to back - the Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle.. if only Stevie would play the complete Wild Heart in the same fashion.. only "in your dreams".. I had such a good time in section 228 that night - the fan next to me who traveled from England just to see the boss was so much fun to be around.. thanks for the beer and that great New York audience..

I've seen many concerts and sporting events at the Garden, and I have to say the New York City crowds are the best... the last time Fleetwood Mac was there, I had the best "pit" experience ever.. DC crowds really do pale to how they enjoy the shows at the Garden - New Yorkers work hard.. and play hard!! Of course I would have went to the DC show if there was one.. but I still would be going up to New York City... gotta support my girl in the big A.

I would have to agree with you. I've seen numerous shows at the Garden, and Ranger games. The audience is electric. It's almost as if the performers kick it up a notch or two. It's really unreal. I was fortunate enough to see Stevie there on her RAL tour, and 2 RAL shows at Jones Beach. I loved all 3 shows from that tour, well just because the whole RAL experience was a trip to begin with, but the Madison Square Garden show was over the top. The same experience with Rod Stewart. I had seen 3 shows of the same tour, but the show at MSG was the most special, by far. The band and the audience fuel each other, and it definitely makes for a rocking good time. I CAN'T WAIT I CAN'T WAIT ! :nod:

I feel you. Having seen tons of shows on both the east and west coasts the west coast fans pale in comparision to east coast fans. Even though I live in CA I'd take an east coast show any day over west coast.

[UnwindedDreams]

I agree about the garden. I was at that bruce show and the night after when he played the river.

hope the crowd is the same for rod and Stevie.

[Keith]

I agree about the garden. I was at that bruce show and the night after when he played the river.
.

I was at the River show also... being my favorite Bruce record, I paid a lot of money to see this show and it was so worth it.. and I have to applaud the New York
City audience.. they respectfully listened to the whole double album.. no obnoxious drunks.. no loud interruptions.. just a truly grateful crowd that gave Bruce and the Band a standing ovation when they finished "Wreck on the Highway" what a night.. thank you New York City.. I have a beautiful bootleg of this show that I listen to very often..

"little by little.. we drifted from each other's heart..." "I'm driving a stolen car.. on a pitch black night.. and I'm telling myself.. I'm gonna be all right.."

[DavidMn]

I would have to say of all the places I've seen shows, the most enthustiastic crowds were in the midwest actually. Especially Cleveland. East coast are very good though.:)

April 15, I plan on going to see Stevie & Rod. I'm a little confused about this tour? I'm sure this has been asked. Is Stevie opening for Rod? Rod opening for Stevie? Stevie and Rod together for the show?
If Stevie opens up, I'm guessin she play for 45 min or maybe they will equal her time along with Rods time.

Also with her new album will she tour this Summer or Fall to promote it?

Stevie will go on first and then rod will go on. There will be a part of the show where they'll sing together.
Stevie said in a detroit rock radio interview that she'll be playing for 75 minutes. Stevie also said that she'll be touring after her in your dreams comes out. I'm guessing she'll tour spring into summer, maybe fall.

I'm for sure interested!

[Kooch68]

I'm for sure interested!
You got it.....as soon as I get in from the show I will post review and set list....Not much of Rod fan but will definitely stick around for the duets.......Actually pretty excited for this show....Haven't seen Stevie since the SYW tour in 2003.

my first initial feeling is to check out of the Ledge for the next few days so I won't be privvy to any setlist information before my show on Saturday..

but I will probably give in... looks like the show is a go.. since no cancellation notice.. keeping my fingers crossed.

so if Stevie has 75 minutes.. i would expect the following..

Dreams without Outside the Rain (i hope not..)

Rhiannon without the piano vocal..

Edge without the walk..

omitting the above will probably shave a good 25 minutes or so from the setlist..

add "Secret Love" and take out the covers (except I do dig "You Wreck Me")

ahh.. so good to have our Lily back on the stage.. hit it Stevie..

Yes, most definitely post the setlist. I'm a setlist junkie. I'll do one for the Atlanta show and get it posted as well. I also post all of the setlists to the concerts that I attend over on setlist.fm. (If you haven't visited the setlist.fm website before, it's an awesome resource.)
