Predictions: Stevie's Tusk/Mirage/Tango songs

[MacShadowsBall]

Moving on to the second half of Stevie's Rumours era songs.

Predict what songs FM will perform in 2013. Mutliple choice. :cool:

[MacShadowsBall]

Sara and Gypsy were fairly easy to pick. Although Gypsy doesn't really work well live, its my favorite Mac song and has been played on the most recent tours. I'd love to hear an acoustic version of it, like Stevie and Lindsey did back in '99 on a charity event, I think?

Sisters of the Moon has been done before live, so I think it stand a chance. Storms was just done last year. I don't see her Tango songs being done, at all. Straight Back/That's Alright probably not. :cool:

SOTM has not been performed in 30 years.I consider myself very lucky to have been at the Forum for the taping of those final Mirage tour shows and that Iconic performance of the song.I pray that is the final performance of it for all time.

[Macfanforever]

Those if you that are on FB could start a FB campaign "Stevie please sing SOTM on the live 2013 tour".

Anyway I'll say she might do Sara or Gypsy or both.Plus Storms.

[Blueletter18]

Oh man, I WISH she would do Straight Back...

[PolishStevieFan]

I wish Stevie would perform "Sister of The Moon". It's just the best song of her from "Tusk" album.

[Aussie W/Heart]

Yes i agree, SOTM would be epic along with Angel, Straight Back, LDW or Frozen Love..

i couldn't care less about Straight Back and LDW - actually i do, i really hope they don't do those.

FL could be interesting or grating, who knows.

but i would love to hear SOTM and Angel.

I can understand your thinking - to a point. On the other hand, you might as well say they need to stop performing at all (because nothing they do now will ever match them in their heyday) or only do new songs where you have no past glories to compare it to.

Anyway, I bet they are going to give SOTM a shot since both Stevie and Mick have mentioned it.

Fans put it on Mick's radar 8 years ago and I'm not surprised about him, but for Stevie to mention it as she has really gets my hopes up.

I know Stevie doesn't feel this way, but for a rocker, I really don't think there is much of a risk in performing it. I think it's easier to get Beautiful Child or Storms wrong than this one, because all you have to bring is the atmosphere and attitude. Vocals are secondary and I'm not concerned about the band holding up its end.

Fingers crossed.

I thought both "Beautiful Child" and "Storms" were big gambles, since they are not hits and have a slow tempo which, if not done well, can really bring the pacing of a concert to a screeching halt. She pulled them off beautifully, but she really needs another rocker in the set anyway. That's why I always argue that "Stand Back" needs to be in the set....it's often her only moment to really let loose. Even SOTM isn't a particularly fast song, but it is a rocker, and adding another one can only be a good thing.

[michelej1]

Right, Beautiful Child and Storms were risks in terms of vocals and the reaction from casual fans. A song that has a hard driving beat doesn't face the same challenge.

As long as she is over not wanting to look like a witch, I don't think there's anything standing in the way of SOTM. She had an urge to do Fall From Grace and Ghosts Are Gone (I won't mention that horrid Rock and Roll that plagued me like a case of the shingles). So, I think she wants a rocker and this just might be the time for SOTM.

Honestly, I'm not worried about SOTM because of the vocals. The vocals weren't why it was awesome in the first place. I just hope she can bring some of that intensity back into it, if they play it. It would be a shame for it to fall flat. I don't expect for her to be babbling nonsense, but some of the drama in her delivery would be nice.

Someone needs to pull up the Mirage version on Youtube for her and let her see why we love it.

Also, I would probably cry if they did an up-tempo Rhiannon. But that's a lost cause, I think.

I did like her vocals at that point and she won't be able to replicate them ever again but I do believe if she would vamp it up she could create that same feeling again. I think she still can own dramatic stage rock -- if she wants to.

This. Karen? Please!

Haha! Not if she makes the mistake of stage whispering to Lindsey, "And, don't play it too fast..."

[FierySequences]

Yes, I think Stevie realized how well Ghosts worked on stage, mb this is why she and Mick are kicking around the idea. It does stand a shot.

I personally would rather hear Twisted, FL, or Crystal, but would not be disappointed with SOTM.

TY for saying this, I thought I was the only fan that loathes hearing this cover:nod:

Every Stevie fan loathes hearing her do covers when she has a million and a half of her OWN songs that she has completely ignored performing.

[Dodfather]

If they did Sisters Of The Moon and especially Seven Wonders I'd go CRAZY! I'd love that! I sing along with Seven Wonders like an eejit whenever I play it. Also, controversial but I'd love That's Alright. No chance though. Does anyone else love that song??

I'd find Seven Wonders more controversial than That's Alright. The latter sounds like BN and would be particularly well-suited to this line up.

As for 7W, if they played old video clips from the song as they performed, I would swoon. It would make me nostalgic and teary, as well as delighted.

Michele

[Stormwind]

Seven Wonders is a great song, maybe they we'll play it, who knows. Gypsy is a obvious song that will be played, but sometimes a fan wants to hear the "hidden gems".

[Nicks Fan]

I think SOTM is a pretty good bet. 7W could be too as it was a hit single and maybe they will realize that Big Love isn't the only good song from Tango. They really need to give Rumors a rest and start promoting Mirage and Tango. They should also throw in some SYW songs. I find it funny that they are saying it is the 35 anniversary of Rumors when technically it will be 36 years come 2013.

[MacShadowsBall]

Sara, Sisters of the Moon, and Gypsy move to the Ledge Prediction Setlist. :cool:

[MacShadowsBall]

Congratulations to those 19 Ledgies who voted for Sisters of the Moon as it looks to be confirmed that the Mac will be doing the song! :cool:

why thank you dear! :)

hope i'm just as right about some of my other predictions and top wishes. :thumbsup: (yeah right, in my dreams :p)

[elle]

and just to point out - this thread was supposed to be a realistic predictions thread and SOTM came at only 3rd place, way after 2 other songs.

while SOTM steadily holds the first place in my unrealistic fan-wished deep cuts list! :thumbsup: :]
