1. Gold and Braid

anything other than what she's done in the last 20 years Welcome to the room Sara would be fine .... anything

I completely agree with you.

[sorcerer999]

I would love for "Rooms On Fire" to return to the set.

[bwboy]

I Can't Wait- she said it's too hard to sing live, but that was during her Rock a Little tour, and we all know the song wasn't the problem. It's high energy and would be a fun addition to the set.

[sadmabelnormand]

I wish she would perform Blue Denim. It's a fantastic song!

[In Your Dreams]

For songs she's played before:
Sleeping Angel
Leather and Lace
Rooms on Fire
Annabell Lee

For songs I'd wish she'd perform:
Wild Heart
Ooh My Love
Trouble in Shangri La
The Dealer

Great picks. But, if she does Leather and Lace again, she has to do it at least once with Don Henley.

[~*BellaDonna*~]

I wish she would perform Blue Denim. It's a fantastic song!
I've always felt that Blue Denim is the 'stand out' track from an otherwise weak album.

[SisterNightroad]

Angel. It's not been performed since the Wild Heart Tour. Time to dust it off.

[AliceLover]

Songs she's done:
Gold and Braid
Alice
Bella Donna
In Your Dreams
Think About It

Songs she hasn't done:
Nothing Ever Changes
Wild Heart
Sister Honey
Ooh My Love
24 Karat Gold

Songs I don't need to hear ever again in concert:
Dreams
Landslide
Sorcerer
Enchanted
Outside the Rain
Soldier's Angel

[landslide95]

Songs she's done:
Gold and Braid
Alice
Bella Donna
In Your Dreams

Songs she hasn't done:
Nothing Ever Changes
Wild Heart
Sister Honey
Ooh My Love
24 Karat Gold

Songs I don't need to hear ever again in concert:
Dreams
Landslide
Sorcerer
Enchanted
Outside the Rain
Soldier's Angel

I could listen to Landslide a million times and it would never get old :o

As much as I like Dreams I agree that it should be retired, even on the Mac setlist. I know she/they love playing their hits over and over but it would be nice to hear the likes of Storms or Angel instead. She does Stand Back a lot too...I like the song but maybe a change is needed like one ledgie mentioned Can't Wait. I'd even love to hear Rooms on Fire live.

[sadmabelnormand]

Not to turn this into a Street Angel thread, but I agree. Don't get me wrong, I adore the Street Angel album! (In fact, it's most of the Stevie I've been listening to for about 2 weeks.) However, the songs are not that strong, and really aren't that memorable, save for Blue Denim and Rose Garden (at least for me).
~
I also wish she'd perform these on a solo tour:
-Rooms on Fire
-Trouble in Shangri-La
-Nothing Ever Changes
-After the Glitter Fades
And maybe these on the Mac tour in 2017:
-Angel
-That's Alright
-Thrown Down
-Not Make Believe
(Hell, I'll even take Say You Will. While it isn't the best song on that album, I do wish they'd stop pretending that album never happened.)

[Macfan4life]

Angel - glad I heard it on one of the few early stops of Wild Heart tour
Sleeping Angel
Blue Lamp - not a huge fan of the song but the live Bella Donna version is a killer
Bella Donna - one of her best songs and it translates live well
I cant wait - strip the disco and make it a full rock version live


Now the songs she has never done live but should
Never ever changes
Sable on Blonde
Long Way to Go

[bwboy]

Dreams I could so do without but no way will she drop it. I love rooms on fire and don't understand why she dropped it. Sounds so good live. Nothing ever changes, ooh my love, and blue lamp would rock my world.

Songs I wish she never did live or would never want to hear:

Whole lotta trouble
docklands
Juliet
Gold and braid
Need to know

I loved how Cyndi Lauper, for the 30th anniversary of She's so unusual, sang every song from that album, in order, and then threw in some others after to make it a whole set. Bella Donna and the wild heart would be two albums stevie could do that with!

[WatchChain]

Songs she's done:
Angel
Sleeping Angel
Bella Donna
For What It's Worth
Think About It

Songs she's never done:
That's Alright
Wild Heart (She Should OPEN THE SHOW with this)
I Don't Want To Know
Nightbird (only done on SNL and SG, put in a tour set list)
Watch Chain

Songs I don't need to hear ever again in concert:
No Spoken Word
Whole Lotta Trouble
Ghosts Are Gone
Soldier's Angel
Stand Back

[editme2]

I'd love to hear Stevie sing "The Highwayman." I could die happy if she added that to her setlist.

I also wish she'd sing "The Wild Heart," "Bella Donna," "Talk to Me," "Blue Denim," "Sleeping Angel," and "24 Karat Gold."

I never tire of "Landslide" or "Gold Dust Woman," but I think she should definitely retire "Dreams" and "Rhiannon." They're boring live and she just can't sing them well anymore.

[Japhry]

That's Alright
Blue Denim
Candlebright/Nomad
Angel

[olive]

sadly there are only a handful of songs she can scream out now

[sue]

There's a few but the biggest request would be for---Angel--

And I think she could still do it justice, even with her deeper voice.

[~*BellaDonna*~]

Angel. It's not been performed since the Wild Heart Tour. Time to dust it off.
Yes! Angel sounds so great when she performs it live!

[~*BellaDonna*~]

Songs she's done:

Nothing Ever Changes
Wild Heart

24 Karat Gold

Songs I don't need to hear ever again in concert:
Dreams

Outside the Rain
Soldier's Angel
I could never give up Outside The Rain or Landside. However, I do wish Dreams would get retired, but as it is Stevie's signature Fleetwood Mac song, that will probably never happen. And, I would so love to hear Wild Heart live!

No, Outside the Rain is a great song and I understand why she kept it as an opener for so many years. My reasoning is that I've just heard it live so...many...times...Same thing with Sorcerer...and even Enchanted. Three cuts that aren't huge songs that could have rotated out of her set list.

Ah, I see your point. Maybe she could switch OTR with How Still My Love, Nothing Ever Changes instead of Enchanted and Gate and Garden instead of Sorcerer.

YESSSS! My favourite after Landslide and Storms, lovely song that doesn't get the recognition it deserves, even from Stevie. Don't think I've ever heard her in interviews or read even, her talking about it, never mind mentioning it.

[APerfectLie]

Sister Honey. Just imagine it as a set opener!

ALLLLLRIGHT BABY!!!!

[~*BellaDonna*~]

ALLLLLRIGHT BABY!!!!
I'm going out on a bit of a limb here, but I'm getting this distinct impression that you like this particular song. ;)

[MarkMc1990]

"If You Ever Did Believe" would be a great, fun choice to do live. Considering it never made it onto a Stevie solo or FM album, I wonder if mama even remembers it exists. The Practical Magic soundtrack contains the only official release.

"Mabel Normand" - Mirage era Stevie would have totally rocked out the end like a woman possessed (think "SOTM") but she could probably still do it.

"Smile At You" - Another high energy one.

"Love Is" - I'm imagining it would sound similar to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuNcDqncUsE

[JohnL]

I think you are mistaking her for Lindsey. His voice is totally gone. He screams everything! Or whispers it....

[~*BellaDonna*~]

Only one musician truly "screams" songs now... and that would be Steven Tyler. :laugh:

[lilyfee]

Angel, Smile at You, Sleeping Angel, Wild Heart... :nod:

I'd love to hear Blue Lamp...

Or Blue Water and Belle Fleur with Sharon and Lori, like in the clips on Youtube...

[Machu]

I think she could do all of the following songs really well.

Wild Heart
24 Karat Gold
Blue Water
Nightbird
Sable on Blonde
Destiny Rules
Angel
Mabel Normand
Gold and Braid
Belle Fleur
That's Alright
Think about It

She should totally do a retooled Smile At You as well!

[KarmaContestant]

Using the 'more often' qualifier in the title, I'll leave out songs she has not performed at all.

*After The Glitter Fades
*Sleeping Angel
*Rose Garden
*No Spoken Word
*Running Through The Garden
*Destiny Rules
*In Your Dreams

[bwboy]

Karma, I may be confused by your post, but Stevie has performed all those songs you mentioned, except for maybe After the Glitter Fades.

that would be great
then suffering through landslide would be bearable

[~*BellaDonna*~]

Landslide needs a break, as does Rhiannon (and she no longer has the voice to pull it off anymore), Stand Back, and Dreams, but I know that is as likely to happen as a new album... Oh well...

[KarmaContestant]

I think you misunderstood. The thread was "songs you'd like Stevie to perform more often", which to me, implied songs that she has indeed performed, but should perform more often. So, yeah, all the songs I picked have been performed, and I would like her to perform them more often. :)

[bwboy]

Thanks, Karma! And I'm so with BellaDonna- No Questions Asked would be great live, and so would As Long As You Follow! I think that is FM and Christine's most underrated song. Anyone who says the band wasn't good when Lindsey left needs to hear those two songs again.

[~*BellaDonna*~]

As Long As You Follow is sorely underrated, as is Why and Never Make Me Cry, the latter of which I don't understand why people dislike so much. I would also like to hear Chris do Warm Ways, Never Forget and my favorite song of her Tusk contributions... Over and Over. I think I just turned this into a Christine thread. Oops!

[bwboy]

Brown Eyes is one of my favorites from Tusk, and I love the one-two punch of Brown Eyes and Never Make Me Cry. Really, the only Christine song on Tusk I dislike is Honey Hi.

[bwboy]

And thanks for the correction about After the Glitter Fades, Olive. I thought Stevie sang it on her Bella Donna tour, but I wasn't sure. Glad to have it confirmed.

Yeah, it's pretty boring. Never Forget is good too.

I love that song too. Just an FYI, Stevie did AFTG during her Enchanted Box Set tour too. :)

My list:
"I Can't Wait" - as another fan suggested, strip the disco, amp up the rock. This really could work.

Dream List:
"If You Ever Did Believe" - musically, this sounds like a good companion to "Sorcerer".

Needs Fixes:
"Rhiannon" - It's time for a rest for the current arrangement. Perhaps a return to one of the versions from 1981/83/86, it might be easier to sing.
