View Full Version : I will pass......
I'm not going to see Stevie on this tour . I think I may may be done seeing her live shows. I would probably go see another Lindsey solo show if he promotes new material and I may see the MAC one last time in 2017 if it's promoting a new album but I think I'm done with Stevie solo shows. I have seen every tour of hers ( except the Bella Donna tour) that didn't make it to the east coast. Unless I see a set list like the Enchanted tour in 1998 I'm passing on this one.

As much as I like to gripe and moan about Stevie's lack of spontaneity and diversity in her live show set lists, I will ALWAYS give in and buy tickets. I've never missed a tour since I was a child in 1977, so it's become a predictable tradition. I couldn't bear to sit in my home on October 29 knowing that the high priestess was hitting the stage less than 5 miles away.
Thus, I will shell out $300, brave the crowds, and listen to the same predictable set list because THAT'S JUST WHAT I DO. Yes, the magic has somewhat been lost over the years, but it's still there somewhere in my heart. When I'm feeling uninspired by the bland show, LIQUOR always helps! After a few $12 drinks, I'm spinning and singing along like it's 1983 again! "Gold Dust Woman", "No Spoken Word", and tired old "Stand Back" for the 100th time will inspire me if I dig deep. I just wish this princess would change up the tired set list a bit!
The BEST Stevie show that I've ever seen was the 1998 Enchanted Box Set Tour! Hearing favorites like "Garbo", "Sleeping Angel", "Rose Garden", "Twisted", and "After The Glitter Fades" played in rare form had me on Cloud 9!!!!
Stevie, hon, throw us a bone. Please don't go out there and play the same 12 tired songs this time out. BUT, even if you do, I will love you forever, girl!

We are so on the same page my first show was the Rumours tour. I could change my mind if we have a new set list that would motivate me to get tickets. The In Your Dreams Tour was great!

I am currently "Dis-Enchanted" with the pricing of these shows. But I know one way or another, we will find great seats at a fair price, even if we have to wait until they drop.

and yet her setlist and show will cater to those fickle fans who would just as easily go see someone else rather than fans who shell out tour after tour after tour and make the core constituency of her ongoing success.

Sadly true.

Years past I would agree with you, Stevie has many times said one thing and done another. We have a lil recent history to go on here.....2011 In Your Dreams was an awesome tour, she sang the new songs even if ppl didn't wanna hear it and every show. As a obsessed fan of 15 years now Stevie has been a different person n the past recent years. Vocally I think she is better on most nights than previous tours, she is just putting it out there...you like it or don't. Kinda like if you don't wanna buy tix, then don't buy tix...some ppl get tired of the so called negative Stevie fan. Every show is special, she isn't gonna go forever....spend the money, see her, you will luv her! Luv u Stevie!

Stevie's setlists are bland and I'm not that interested. I'd rather just see The Pretenders.

I'm going. She's s allegedly adding Belladonna the wild heart and trouble in Shangri-La to the setlist

She said in an interview that she gets over 2 hours of stage time, so this may just be the "Enchanted" Tour Part 2! :D

I just watched a sad piece about Glen Campbell on CBS Evening news tonight which I shed a tear.I look at Glen and Linda Ronstadt and never got a chance to see them perform live in concert plus Kenny Rogers will be retiring after his Christmas tour.I seen Kenny many times over the years.I look at it this way.With all the fuss about the setlist and the asinine tix prices and no FM album .I'll go to see Stevie or FM many times even if she or they just play Dreams for 2 straight hours.We only have one life and its short and never know when its to late like Glen and Linda and plus other artists and bands that are gone or went to heaven.My bad for not getting a chance to see them perform live but I will see them in heaven soon.Alot of them that I wish I seen live but I'm now a$$ kicking myself now because I miss the chance.I would go to more Stevie shows on this new tour but I cant commit myself driving a 11 year old car far out of state in cold late fall /winter season.I definitely be going to the Atlantic City and Boston show if this tour was now or summer.With the winter chill in the air and cold ocean winds .I can picture me walking down the AC boardwalk chasing my frozen nuts as they are rolling on the boardwalk.LOL...

Wow .2 hours.The Mohegan Sun show is at 7:30pm .If the Pretenders start on time at 7:30 local time and play for 45 minutes to a hour plus so I guess Stevie will hit the stage around 8:45 to 9pm which be OK.That will give her more enough time to get ready to go on stage without delay.

Macfanforever, your post has just reminded me of something that I take for granted; that The Mac and Stevie will always be on the road somewhere. I've been faithfully attending Stevie and Mac Tours since 1977, I haven't missed a single one. Noting what has recently happened to Linda Ronstadt and Glen Campbell makes me realize that time is limited. Stevie will turn 69 next year, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? How long can ANY of the Mac members continue this journey before nature takes its toll and health issues arise? It's inevitable. THE HARD TRUTH is that we devoted fans probably only have less than 10 years to attend these tours (if even that). So, let's snap up those tickets, folks. Rock Stars don't live forever!

ten years? Chris is 73!!! Stevie is 68 and Lindsey will turn 67 next month. I highly doubt at ages from 83-77 they will be touring. Some people in this band haven't accepted this yet.

And all of them old enough to be our parents or grandparents ,are probably worse than 5 year old arguing after being all hopped up on sugar ,spoiled millionaires set in their ways demanding I want to be the boss probably told by their sycophants they're the best and they should be in in charge .. it's probably going to take a while to get a new album

And I wouldn't be surprised if the handlers for the 5 are stirring the pot behind the scenes...Mick said this Stevie said that all in order to get what THEY want with little concern for the band members...
Yeah, I'm going to have to pass. I'm kind of Stevie'd out anyway. Looking @ these prices for VIP / Silver tickets are just ridiculous. Oh sure they're good seats but $1, 157.00 for 2 tickets to sit in the 2nd row @ Wells Fargo in Philly :shocked:. My husband would just fall on the floor :lol: & I'd be there right with him. The best I saw in the presale was Section 5 for the regular prices, but I couldn't see anything. I'd have sit where I saw FM (first level), but I kind of liked it. I wouldn't mind seeing The Pretenders though; I've never seen them. Oh well, maybe on the first level. It's a bad week though, Thanksgiving week. Yet I still doubt I'll go. I'll probably just watch the highlights on YouTube.

Yes.What happen to me is I focus more on Stevie and FM tours and missed out on the others like the Eagles and other that are no longer touring or left us.I'm been going to Stevie and FM shows since Stevie's RAL tour and have not miss any yet except for that quick 1999 outing she did..I'm not going to break the chain"Pun Intended" Oping out on a tour.I always treat going to these shows as it could be the last time that I see her or them since life is fragile and dont know what the future holds for us.I'm not worrying about what seats I get as long that I got in the same room to see and hear her or Mac sing.
