In Your Indian Casino Dreams Tour 2011?

If you gamble it, she will come.

[louielouie2000]

I wonder if her promoters/management have finally told her to give up on playing the "sheds" which she can no longer fill? :shrug:

I wonder if her promoters/management have finally told her to give up on playing the "sheds" which she can no longer fill? :shrug:I think that would be the logical assumption. 4 new dates, all casinos, kinda adds up.

[michelej1]

The news is coming fast and furious. There's a new date every day.

casinos around here - Wouldn't be shocked to see her playing one of the local casinos (Bret Michaels is playing one tonight not far from here and Blue Oyster Cult is playing another on Saturday)

Casinos here in Oklahoma pay an artist a guarantee no matter how many fans attend, the artists always wins out here (Saw that Meat Loaf will be playing nearby in April)

LOL! Good one.

Hard to believe they will ALL be casinos though, right?

(Stevie filled the Santa Barbara Bowl to capacity last August.) I think these casinos are offering really good money for artists in order to try and bring in more gamblers, so this is something that is probably pretty hard to turn down for most musicians. I've noticed that a lot of big name stars are doing casino shows.

The white hot Lady Antebellum, who dominated the Grammys several weeks ago, are even playing mid-size casino gigs (they played the Hard Rock casino in Biloxi earlier this month). It's apparently the so-called 'new normal' for the live music industry.

[DavidMn]

Blue Oyster Cult is playing another on Saturday)

I wonder if Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken will make an appeareance at this show?:lol:

ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING! HAHAHAI want Mr Walken to come onstage sometime during Gold Dust Woman and utter the immortal line, "It sounded good, but I coulda used a little more cowbell.":lol:

To be fair nobody's filling them like they used to.

Who wouldn't prefer the casino venues? Cheaper ticket prices and less people and you may just catch Stevie at the craps table after the show.

They certainly aren't cheaper at the Vegas casinos- they're more. (which never made sense to me, except maybe they have to make up for all the tickets they comp.)

Top tier TM price for Caesars this time around is $175. My Dad offered to pay as an unexpected gift for me, so I'm going. I couldn't find anything good during the presale today though, so I'm waiting until Saturday regular onsale.

[If I Were You]

The Albuquerque show scheduled for tomorrow, May 11th has been postponed to Friday, May 20th.

[jkmaletic]

Yeah, I just noticed that...

She probably needs more rest before doing a full-blown show. The Friday Indio and Saturday Vegas shows are still up though. If I need to cancel my Vegas reservations, I think I need to do that by tomorrow to get a refund. This is making me a little nervous.

Jamie

I concur. This is unnerving to say the least! I have tickets for Vegas, and having just endured the whole Webster Hall last minute cancellation after traveling from Denver, I'm biting my nails about right now. I'm thinking that this recent postponement does not bode well for Fri & Sat shows. It's one thing to do one song live on national TV being a bit under the weather, it's entirely a whole different animal performing a whole set.
It looks like it's a day by day situation, which is not sitting well with me or probably anybody traveling to these shows with hotel and airline reservations.

[jkmaletic]

Well, I just finished watching the Ellen performance, and this is how I viewed her- She seemed still sick, but like she was feeling better, like towards the end of a sickness. She didn't seem as bad as I thought she was going to be.

I'm HOPING that they chose to postpone the NM show so she could get 3 more days of rest in (plus maybe a little rehearsal) to be good for the friday and saturday shows. Vegas is always big so I'm sure she's not going to want to reschedule that one if at all possible. On the other hand, if she's sick, she's sick...

I called my hotel and you have to give them 48 hours notice for a refund. That would be tomorrow for me. I REALLY don't want to drive 5 hours to Vegas if Stevie cancels. It would be different if I was flying (45 minute flight). We just have to wait and see and keep praying!!!

Jamie

[RockAlot]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

OMG Becky!! :lol: Oh well, gotta do what you got to do!!

But, but, I have hotel rsvp and a rent a car for the Indio show...... and I'm soooo ready to for this show!!

Cancel and come to LA ;)

Cancel and come to LA ;)

Believe me, it's crossed my mind several thousand times:wavey: I hope it works out for you Dani, I'll say a little prayer, even though I'm agnostic:angel:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Are they going to still sell tickets for the show? Ticketmaster isn't selling them at this time. I can go to this one.

[wayner]

The Casino web site indicated that the show was sold out, maybe thats y no tix on TM

[SapphireSister]

Now I'm getting really scared about my show Friday night in Indio being postponed to the following week when I'm going out of town. That would suck! Oh well at least I'll have a front row ticket for some deserving fan and I'm still going to the bday show if I score a ticket today.

[ontheEdgeof17]

They would still have the search option on Ticketmaster. TM just says tickets are not on sale at the moment.

[wayner]

was just a thought

right now i am more worried about vegas, i've got myself , my wife and 2 others supposed to fly there from NY tomorrow

[If I Were You]

Stevie will be playing tonight at Sandia Casino:blob1:. I'm going, however, I won't be able to post a review until tomorrow as I am technically challanged and don't use all the latest technology. I'm sure the set list will be the same as Vegas (BTW I didn't post a review for that show as some other ledgies posted basically what I would have posted). It's been a bit chilly here with frost on the windows this morning so I hope the weather won't affect Stevie in any way.

[Jondalar]

there are no tour dates for this album, are these old or something? Is she just finishing out what she has left?

[FM77]

there are no tour dates for this album, are these old or something? Is she just finishing out what she has left?


As of a month ago there were NO SOLO DATES planned, scheduled or discussed beyond May. I asked. They were waiting to see how the new record sold when it was released. I think they were hoping for strong sales and then MAYBE they would do a few more dates starting in July but a big solo tour seemed to be off the table entirely. I will know more after the Wiltern show. I think it's shame if she doesn't go out more but it has more to do with money/business than her desire for sure.

[GavinBrown]

I have a gut feeling that she WILL do a solo tour this summer in the states from July-September...they may be holding off on an announcement til the next single drops for promotional purposes.

This drives me crazy! Why on earth go through all the effort to put out an album like this and then never perform the songs live for an audience? What the hell are they thinking? :shrug:

You know if the Mac tours next year, we're not going to hear these songs then, either. :rolleyes:

[jkmaletic]

So any ledgies going to the show tonight? ??


Jamie

[Musicman408]

Are people under 21 allowed at Casino shows?

[FM77]

Keep in mind that EVERYONE tours in the summer and you can't just pull that off last minute as most acts have had this planned for months. Scheduling becomes tricky when you are trying to fill holes instead of plotting routing. This is why IF she does go out, it will be in select markets on a small scale.

[UnwindedDreams]

[FM77]

do you know anything about heart and soul being extended? rod seemed pretty sure about that happening again.

I don't have confirmation but I have heard the same rumblings that someone else posted last week. I see this as more plausible (although disappointing) than her going out solo. Rod is guaranteed money, less pressure and bigger venues. She can't say no to that--especially since she might be looking at sheds in the summer if she goes solo.

[Macfanforever]

Those of you that are going tonight.Have a awesome time and be safe.Take some photos and vid's for us.Ok on the note that if she does come back out later with Rod.At this point she probably have to turn her setlist upside down in order to play some new tunes from the new cd.Dump the covers and sing the digest versions or a medley of tunes in order to keep her time short.But if she alone .she can open right up.anyway have a blast tonight guys.

[UnwindedDreams]

i just cannot believe that nothing has been announced yet for the summer. hopefully after the wiltern show we'll know her direction in promoting this record. i guess heart & soul, if it happens will be july and some of august to give him time before he starts at the colosseum on august 24. rock out tonight in albuquerque!

[UnwindedDreams]

At this point she probably have to turn her setlist upside down in order to play some new tunes from the new cd.Dump the covers and sing the digest versions or a medley of tunes in order to keep her time short.But if she alone .she can open right up.anyway have a blast tonight guys.
i just hope that if h&s starts again, she gets more songs. at least 15. that's her max anyway. Stevie only did 12 (including leather & lace). she could do her usual (stand back, if anyone falls, outside the rain, dreams, sorcerer, gold dust woman, fall from grace, Rhiannon, landslide, edge, love is, rock n roll) and 3 new songs (secret love + 2 others)

[Macfanforever]

If she says no to Rod.She probably get onto the casino tour bandwagon again .like shes been doing.The shed shows are not good for her health .I've noticed.the crappy air like we have in the northeast dont do here justice to her lungs.I think she will continue with the casinos She will make stops in Atlantic City ,Verona,Mohegan Sun
in the city she has a choice of MSG,Radio City.If lucky Webster.

[siledrmr]

Just got home from tonight's show. It was incredible. She is definitely feeling better, however there were parts where you can tell her voice was still not 100%. She did an awesome wailing thing for Edge though; it wasn't her normal wail, but she pulled it off nicely. I had 6ht row seats, but security allowed people up to the stage at the start of the show, so I was feet away the entire time.

Set list was the same as the past couple of shows [I think]

1. Stand Back
2. Outside the Rain
3. Dreams
Spoke to the crowd about how she lived in Albuquerque during the 2nd and 3rd grades, and how some cat (maybe her cat?) would bring dead rats to the door and they always had to act proud of the cat, because that is how you treat cats. The crowd laughed at this. It was a great storytelling part of the show. She also says she remembers vividly the winds blowing the sand against the back of her legs (it was a windy night), "I'm 63 now, but I remember it like it was yesterday." That was interesting because I always wondered her age when she lived here, finally discovered the answer to that tonight.
4. Secret Love
5. Sorcerer
6. Gold Dust Woman
7. Fall from Grace
8. Rhiannon
9. Landslide
10. Edge of Seventeen
11. Love Is

Well I am pretty sure the other shows had 10 songs, tonight there were 11. I didn't go back to check the old set lists, but above is what she performed tonight. Is GDW newly added?

It was a cold night, for May in Albuquerque. I know many of you like to know, I think she wore the same black dress the entire night (I don't pay close attention to her clothing, unless it's not black), she wore her platform boots most of the night, at some point (right before Edge maybe) she changed to her platform black sneakers. She had a black coat on most of the night, and a big one "from Germany" at the end of the show, and she said she was now too warm.

Even though they rescheduled it, it still appeared to be a sold out show. The crowd was totally and completely into it. I was rather surprised how the crowd took to Love Is. One of my favorites, but I wasn't sure how it would go over with the crowd. Everyone seemed mesmerized by it, and I heard a few people talking about what a great song it was on the walk out. All in all, another fantastic show here in Albuquerque. Stevie was awesome!!!!

[CelticGypsy]

Wondering why she isn't singing MORE newer songs from "In Your Dreams?" Think I will save money to see Lindsey this year and buy his new CD. I don't understand why she isn't including Annabel Lee, Moonlight or Italian Summer to the set?

Baffling, isn't it? New album. Fantastic album. Exciting album. Stevie loves the new album. But let's play the same old crapola. That will certaintly help sales.

Glad you had fun! And yes, that was the same set list as in Vegas. Hopefully there will be new stuff for the LA Wiltern Birthday show. There should be anyway.

Did you get any pics/video?

[Macfanforever]

How she sound.does she feel any better.She been sick.I have a feeling she has had no practice time for the IYD tunes.anyway if the Heart and Soul thing continues later..I will draw the line now.I will limit the shows I will attend.I'm not going to pay a kings ransome like $195 dollars for a digest version of Stevie's set list and staying for Rod's set and geting a hard hat and watching put for soccer balls coming at me.also nevermind on the $4.00 gas prices.

[vivfox]

I wonder if after the Birthday show, she'll go back to performing the stale set list of 11 frikkin' songs?

[FM77]

I wonder if after the Birthday show, she'll go back to performing the stale set list of 11 frikkin' songs?

If she goes out with Rod she isn't going to do new material...that show is promoted as a "hits" tour so I would think that 10 or 11 song set is it.

[UnwindedDreams]

she'll at least do secret love but i her set did not include all hits. Fall From Grace, Love Is, etc aren't hits. i just hope she does more songs if heart n soul happens again.

[Musicman408]

Hey, I know I asked this earlier, but can people under 21 go to casino gigs?

I'm pretty sure they can. It doesn't say "21 and over" on my ticketmaster Vegas tickets. Usually that's indicated if so.

Dear Stevie Nicks,

Your recent concert set lists have been tearing my heart out. You have the album of your career out that is getting nothing but spectacular reviews. You have constantly toured since 2005 with the exact same set list. Tour, after tour, after tour I wait to hear something different and it never comes. Please play Moonlight at least once in the states before you are done with this record.

Sincerely,

Concerned diehard

[dreamer78]

really really sad 11 songs /only secret love from her the excellent new album
really sad :( what is she so afraid of ? opening with Stand Back (my favorite song)
Sucks too it should be in the middle !!!!

[Ianuk]

Rod Stewart appeared on "The One Show" last night in the UK and talked at length about his upcoming residency in Las Vegas starting in August and he said he thought it run for approx 2 years. He seemed to indicate that the Hard Rock Calling show was one of the last shows of the tour.

The set list has actually evolved many times since 2005. Drastically really. In 2005 she played HAEWAFY, Enchanted, SDMHA, Outside the Rain and Circle Dance. In 2007 If Anyone Falls and How Still My Love became permenant fixtures in her set which for 2 years were played only on special occasions. Gone were HAEWAFY, OTR SDMHA and Circle Dance. The out of field comes Crash Into Me. Thank God that seems to be gone after her random 2008 tour which saw the exit of BATB and Enchanted and the return of OTR and HAEWAFY (in an all white dress) and the introduction of what I consider one of my favorite Stevie covers ever done on stage Face The Promise. HAEWAFY would leave after this 2008 tour and for her 5 date "Not a Tour" she did 2 more songs we have never heard her do on stage one a cover (oh well get over it) and the other a song from what was at the time her most recent album. the 7th song to get played from TISL and again "never perfromed previously" Love Is. Personally I'm underwhelmed by it but others think its the greatest Stevie live performance song of the 20th century so shes made the majority of die hards happy there. If I were picking obscure tracks never done live before I would've maybe picked KInd of Woman, but really I think it takes more balls from Stevie to pick an obscure track from her most recent album then one from Bella Donna her solo Rumours sales wise.

So please, if you want to critisize Stevie do it correctly and don't do it with blanket statements like Stevie has been using the same set list since 2005.

Shes had the same set list for 2 weeks and It's a result of her illness not of what Stevie wants to be playing.

There's no need to go through the history. I have seen every tour, every single one, since then. Yeah, a few changes here and there (IAF is still my favorite addition). My point was that she has a new album out that is selling well and getting fab reviews. Its clear that she loves these songs. I know she has been sick, but there's been a TON of time for rehearsal. I don't understand why she didn't do a few of these at the Vegas, Fantasy Springs, and NM shows for at least practice sake.

Because of the sickness is why she's not playing new songs. She's been sick through this TONS of time you refer to. In hindsight maybe she should've reheased a bunch of new songs prior to the heart and soul tour or played them at soundchecks but that didn't happen and I'm sure Stveie planned on reheasing the week before her May 4th show then F**king pneumonia happened. She's probably using her danmed singing voice as little as humanly possible, which means no rehearsals inbetween these random shows and no more then singing her shortened openign act set. And really I think THAT is wrong. She should not be playing an opening act set when shes the only act. She should be phoning her famous friends and may these shows Stevie and friends. Have Sheryl do some songs. Chris Issak do dome songs whoever choses to come do some songs and Stevie can do even less then 11 songs and fans get mpre of their moneys worth in a bad situation.

So yea be pissed at the set, but don't have the attitude of Stevie's just released a great new album and is choosing to not play it for her fans. She's doing the bare minimum of singing and work she needs to do. Really she should've cancelled the whole month of may or did what I suggested above.

And yes I did need to go through a history so others who are new or have forgotten and haven't been to ever show since 2005 like us can see the actual story and not just the "She's had the same set since 2005, playing these same 11 songs.

[Macfanforever]

Hey, I know I asked this earlier, but can people under 21 go to casino gigs?

That rule is for the gambling floor only .as I see it.If she plays in night clubs .more likely the age will be 21.

[Tusk!]

Lindsey is playing his new songs in concert and his album isn't even out yet!

[StevieNicksfann]

really really sad 11 songs /only secret love from her the excellent new album
really sad :( what is she so afraid of ? opening with Stand Back (my favorite song)
Sucks too it should be in the middle !!!!

I agree with Stand Back being in the middle. I also thought she was smart to open with Fall From Grace and still think she should. It is the ideal place for that song but I also understand doing OTR/Dreams because it segues so nicely.

As for me, I can totally understand why Stevie has not added yet given her illness, tv appearances, lack of rehearsal time,etc... And I hope that the Wiltern gets new stuff.

However, I take issue with the fact that it's still only 11 songs for a solo show that she headlines. Opening for Rod, I forgave plus we got 2 more songs within his set.

But for her - even if she didn't have time to rehearse new stuff - and dare I say it - Rock N Roll was performed recently, she knows it, she didn't have to really rehearse. Same with If Anyone Falls. Even You Wreck Me at this point ffs.

The point is that I think a regular show of Stevie's should have 14 songs minimum. her songs are usually longer so I'm ok with 14 but anything less is too short and anything more is gravy.

As for her upcoming shows -given rehearsal time - I believe Love Is a fantastic song but should not be the closer. I think Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You? is the solo equivalent to Landslide. It embodies her and encompasses her entire message of if not for yourself, live on for this world and make it better. That is the last sentiment I want to have and want people to "get" out of her.

That is the one thing I am most passionate about. I mean I have opinions obviously on the other songs selection and sequencing in the show but I enjoy it no matter what as long as HAEWAFY is in the set and it's last.

More thinking out loud here but I believe a good set list would be both in terms of selection and pacing (disclaimer: this set list is not my ideal mainly because my personal preference would be for her to do few FM songs if any but this is next best thing)

Outside The Rain/Dreams
Ghosts Are Gone
Annabel Lee
Sorcerer
Rhiannon
Gold Dust Woman
New Orleans
Secret Love
Landslide
Stand Back
Love Is
Moonlight
Edge of Seventeen

Encores:
Fall From Grace
Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You?

Preferred (yet realistic - not gonna hope for Sisters of the Moon lol) set list:

Gold Dust Woman
Secret Love
For What It's Worth
Outside The Rain/Dreams
Moonlight
Ghosts Are Gone
Love Is
If Anyone Falls or Rooms On Fire
New Orleans
Annabel Lee
Stand Back
Italian Summer
Edge of Seventeen

Encores:

Fall From Grace or Whole Lotta Trouble
Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You?

[PastelGravel]

I agree with Stand Back being in the middle. I also thought she was smart to open with Fall From Grace and still think she should. It is the ideal place for that song but I also understand doing OTR/Dreams because it segues so nicely.

As for me, I can totally understand why Stevie has not added yet given her illness, tv appearances, lack of rehearsal time,etc... And I hope that the Wiltern gets new stuff.

However, I take issue with the fact that it's still only 11 songs for a solo show that she headlines. Opening for Rod, I forgave plus we got 2 more songs within his set.

Before the Fantasy Springs show we wandered into the theatre while they were setting up and there on a table was the set list. And where Fall from Grace ended up being, was You Wreck Me. I guess she changed her mind.

Stevie Nicks Concert
Sunday, May 22, 2011, 12:42 PM [General]


What a great concert! I hope some of you were able to attend, she played ALOT of her hits, and the weather was perfect (looked like it was going to rain, but it didn't). She still looks great (she said she was fixin to turn 63, really, I couldn't tell!) I especially liked the last words she spoke before leaving, they went something like this.....Our world is in alot of chaos now, and I want you to pray for it.....prayers work! I for one said a prayer, and I hope you take her advice as well...talk to you soon!

really really sad 11 songs /only secret love from her the excellent new album
really sad :( what is she so afraid of ? opening with Stand Back (my favorite song)
Sucks too it should be in the middle !!!!

To me, opening with "Stand Back" is somewhat akin to opening with "Edge of Seventeen." It's too close to being a signature song of Stevie's, especially since Fleetwood Mac also performs it when she tours with them.

If she still wanted to play it somewhat safe with the same old, same old songs, I'd swap "Fall From Grace" and "Stand Back" in the set like she did during the This Is Not A Tour Tour. But if I were here, I'd be performing much more of the new material, almost to the point where even the diehards are wondering where all the hits are.

I totally agree. I hate SB as an opener. If she'd bring it back, I think Rooms on Fire would make an awesome opener!!

[Josh2003]

I think Stand Back is a great opener. It's immediately recognizable by 90% of the people in attendance, and it has a great energy.

I think that FFG has that energy, but nobody knows it. Same with Outside the Rain. Sure, it's been a staple of her live show since the beginning, but I don't think the casual fan (whom, as well all know, is Stevie's main priority in pleasing these days) is too familiar with it.

I really liked when she opened with Stop Draggin' on the TISL tour, too.

^I'm sure the video distorts her voice so I won't comment on that, but it's like watching a tree up there. :eek:

[kak125]
