Songs you hope Stevie won't sing on her tour

[bwboy]

There are a couple I hope she leaves out, but #1 on my list would be Whole Lotta Trouble. Hate that song!

Also hope she leaves out Gold Dust Woman, Gold and Braid, and I Need To Know.

I could do without Dreams and Rhiannon, but that'll never happen. But she could easily drop Gold Dust Woman and swap in 2 other songs instead. It wasn't a single and wouldn't be missed as much as her other FM songs.

Bwboy,

I agree about Dreams and Rhiannon, but we both know it ain't gonna happen. As much as I love GDW, it needs a serious break. If she plays it, then I'll use that time to grab another beer and restroom break.

Funny about Whole Lotta Trouble. I love that song and actually turned someone into a Stevie fan with that song (along with Gold And Braid). It may not be her best but it certainly is not her worst in my opinion.

Lady. Proverbial nails on a chalkboard and it just drones on and on... :eek:

[~*BellaDonna*~]

I'd be over the moon if she replaced Gold and Braid with The Wild Heart.

Anyway, here is my list:
1. Rhiannon
2. Dreams
3. Outside The Rain
4. Stand Back
5. Landslide
6. Gold Dust Woman
7. If Anyone Falls
8. Edge of Seventeen
9. Sisters of the Moon
10. Talk To Me

I could go on, but I'm going to leave it there.

I wouldn't lose too much sleep worrying about her singing "Talk to Me" (or SOTM for that matter). :wavey:

Trust me, I don't lose a wink of sleep over it. I just hope that SOTM isn't a song that she decides to clear the dust of off. She can't sing that song with the same intensity as she used to.

Wow, you don't seem to like many of her hits! Although I know some have been overexposed, Talk to Me and If Anyone Falls don't fall in that category... she's taken those two songs a break plenty of times.

[bwboy]

Bwboy,

Funny about Whole Lotta Trouble. I love that song and actually turned someone into a Stevie fan with that song (along with Gold And Braid). It may not be her best but it certainly is not her worst in my opinion.

Rod :)

I imagine Whole Lotta Trouble might sound better live, but I just don't care for it. Yet ironically, I'd rather hear that song than Gold Dust Woman!

[bwboy]

Stevie would 100% get away with it if she just sang Dreams and Landslide on this tour. Save he FM songs for the next FM tour and give them a break, and give the fans more of her solo stuff.

Still thinking about I Can't Wait as a show opener, and I picture everyone on their feet going crazy. I really think that would be a stunning show opener.

[WatchChain]

You made me laugh out loud! Great list, and you totally win! :laugh:

[TheWILDheart]

The covers!! Ditch the covers!!

She has enough of a big back catalogue, both solo and with Fleetwood Mac, to fill a setlist of her own material. She's also overlooked over half of her solo career in her live sets for over 16 years. Even songs that were big hits get ignored.

I get that people want to hear "the hits", but bring out a few deep cuts each tour instead of random covers and balance that with the crowd pleasers.

[KarmaContestant]

There are a couple I hope she leaves out, but #1 on my list would be Whole Lotta Trouble. Hate that song!

Agreed.

Lady. Proverbial nails on a chalkboard and it just drones on and on... :eek:

And agreed.

[olive]

I would gladly take lady over her sleep walking through landslide or any of the other fillers used over the past 30 years

[~*BellaDonna*~]

Wow, you don't seem to like many of her hits! Although I know some have been overexposed, Talk to Me and If Anyone Falls don't fall in that category... she's taken those two songs a break plenty of times.
Bwboy, you got me all wrong. Just because I don't want to hear her perform "the hits" it doesn't mean I hate those songs. Let me make something clear: If Anyone Falls, Stand Back and Edge of Seventeen are among my favorites of her solo work. It's just that I would love to see her bring out deep album cuts and/or rarities.

She could swap If Anyone Falls with Bella Donna, Edge of Seventeen with The Wild Heart, and Stand Back with Sleeping Angel.

The only song in my list that I don't like at all is Talk to Me. I Could never get into that one.

Sorry for giving the wrong impression. :wavey:

[sorcerer999]

Also hope she leaves out Gold Dust Woman, Gold and Braid, and I Need To Know.
I'd be over the moon if she replaced Gold and Braid with The Wild Heart.

:lol: You're both making these statements as if "Gold And Braid" was a constant staple in her solo tours. She hasn't performed it live in over 18 years. And before that, 15 years. It was only performed during the "Bella Donna" tour, a handful of "Wild Heart" shows and the "Enchanted" tour. Don't get me wrong, though. I love the song but it's such a "time capsule" tune that I really only equate with "Bella Donna". The "Enchanted" tour version paled in comparison and it's not a song I'd like to hear live ever again.

I wouldn't lose too much sleep worrying about her singing "Talk to Me" (or SOTM for that matter). :wavey:
I just hope that SOTM isn't a song that she decides to clear the dust of off. She can't sing that song with the same intensity as she used to.

I doubt "Sisters Of The Moon" will EVER appear in a Stevie Nicks solo set. She's said many times it's a Fleetwood Mac signature song. Even when Jim Ladd suggested she perform it in Vegas, she "humored" him that it was an interesting suggestion, but of course it never happened. and you're right, BellaDonna, the song has lost a lot of its intensity on stage these days...but then she's in her late 60's and not under the influence of a lot of drugs anymore so there's that. I could list several more songs that have also lost that "intensity" from her wild, youthful, drug fueled days. :nod:

Agreed that she should NEVER do cover songs in her live shows anymore. "Rock And Roll" went on for TOO MANY tours! :( And "Circle Dance" and "Face The Promise" were two songs that were not only boring, but nobody knew what they were unless they were hardcore Bonnie Raitt and Bob Seger fans. Stevie's all about performing "deep cuts" of other artists' catalogs...but not her own? :rolleyes:

Lady. Proverbial nails on a chalkboard and it just drones on and on... :eek:
I would gladly take lady over her sleep walking through landslide or any of the other fillers used over the past 30 years

This one's a touchy subject for me. I think the album version is sublime and beautiful (HATED the music video, though) - but I'm in agreement that it doesn't translate live very well at all due to her propensity to BELT OUT most of her songs these days. The Tonite Show performance was difficult to watch. However, like Olive stated, I'd take it above the exceedingly over-performed songs like "Landslide" or "Gold Dust Woman".

I think she needs to give "Enchanted" and "If Anyone Falls" a rest. They've been a couple of her "go-to" live songs for quite a while now because they're easy for her. Hopefully she can find a nice vocal/musical arrangement of "Wild Heart" that will be both easy on her voice and majestic for the audience...but I also wouldn't mind it if she added a few more songs from the "Wild Heart" album to her set list, whether on this upcoming tour or for future tours. "Nothing Ever Changes" would be nice and can you imagine if she EVER pulled out "Sable On Blonde" for a live show? :eek: I'd die a happy Stevie fanatic!

Gotcha, BellaDonna, thanks for clearing that up. Your list makes total sense now.

Sorry you don't care for Talk to Me. That has always been one of my all time favorite Stevie songs. Even though she didn't write it, she sings it with a lot of passion and intensity. It's actually the song that made me a Stevie fan, from the first time I heard it on the radio.

[priestofnothing]

"Songs you hope Stevie WON'T sing on her new tour"....

1) Gold Dust Woman (give it a rest)

I agree with Soldier's Angel. Only because she mentioned in a recent interview that she wanted to or had to sing this one. I appreciate the thought and the sentiment of the song and understand it's significance to Stevie. But I saw her perform this on the tour with Rod Stewart and it brought the entire show to a halt. Everyone was like - WTF. It just really stymied all of the energy and enthusiasm and killed all the excitement in the venue.

I want to have fun and be happy and escape from the world and my everyday problems when I go to a show. I don't want to listen to a slow clunky song about war and wounded soldiers for entertainment.

If she needs a slow ballad, bring back HAEWAFY. I know we heard it for years, but it's been gone a while. Or even Beauty and the Beast. I will cringe if she does Soldier's Angel again.

I don't really see how I'm in the wrong regarding Gold and Braid. Yes, I do realize she hardly ever performs it live, but it's one I've never really cared for. I hope she doesn't bring it out.

However, I agree with you about SOTM. I think it was fairly wrong of me to include it in my list.

And, yes, she should totally bring out Nothing Ever Changes, Sable on Blonde as well as Nightbird. They are some of the strongest tracks on The Wild Heart.

Priest of Nothing, you are correct. I also witnessed the traffic accident that is "Soldier's Angel" being played by Stevie as an opening act on the Rod Stewart Tour. She was doing a fantastic job pumping up the crowd when suddenly, the awkward exorcism that IS "Soldier's Angel" moved the show to surviving on life support. What's more, Stewart's crowd wasn't quite sure what to make of it......they were, quite frankly, dumbfounded. It definitely goes in the record books as most awkward concert moment. Many just stood there in shock for a moment, and then began to head to the restroom or bar. Girl, EVEN I NEEDED a drink after that. Once has to wonder what The High Priestess was thinking by inserting that calamity into the HEART AND SOUL Set List. Can we please give The Soldiers Angels a rest?

I rather hear sing cover I like and enjoy.
I would love to hear her sing this classic 1970's R&B tune.

Joss Stone did fantastic on this Sylvia tune.

I will melt in bed.LOL........................................

[StevieNicksfann]

1) Any cover except Free Falling since she did her own version of it
2) Soldier's Angel
3) Freedom
4) Beauty & The Beast
5) Anything from Street Angel except Maybe Love, Greta, and Listen To The Rain
6) I Don't Care
7) Bombay Sapphire
8) Storms

I can tolerate but still would rather she also skip:

9) Bella Donna
10) The Highway Man
11) Cheaper Than Free
12) My Little Saviour
13) It's Late
14) I Will Run To You

I would love Whole Lotta Trouble as well as Touched By An Angel, If You Ever Did Believe, Love Changes, Sister Honey, and Whenever I Call You Friend.

[olive]

i have never gotten past the first word in both touched by an angel and If You Ever Did Believe, I hit skip on my ipod I have never be able to listen to those 2 songs

[straightback818]

IYEDB just came on my ipod yesterday and was just thinking she would kill it live! I would die if she finally performed that song live... or even Crystal for that matter

[Newzchspy]

I could really do without Crash and lets hope she doesn't dust that off.

[Hawkeye]

You see, I'm not gonna broadly say no covers. Just no I Need to Know and absolutely no Rock and Roll.her random covers are just as good as new songs to me. In fact I've seen people here even praise other artists for their set lists and many times these artists play tons of covers per tour. Tom Petty is the first thing that comes to my mind. Yet stevie always gets blasted for playing covers. I think the short lived spontaneous performances of Circle Dance and Face the Promise were some of the best set lists decisions ever. Talk about unexpected. And unless you are also a die hard bob Seger fan how was face the promise not the same experience as her playing gold and braid in 1981?

So I would not be disappointed at all with an out of left field cover taking the precious space of one of her own songs, as long as it provides a great live stevie experience.

But this is excluding rock and roll and I need to know.

[Macfanforever]

I hope"I Cant Fix This" dont get played or I probably enjoy it as long as Waddy is playing it.I 'm not in the mood for the noise factory that Dave G produces,..

I liked her Face the Promise too.

Do you think we will get to see her join the Pretenders for a few? Nah, more likely vice versa, huh?

[Jondalar]

No Covers!!!

[Japhry]

NO:

Love Is (ugh)
Soldiers Angel
Secret Love
anything she co-wrote with or that was written by Sheryl Crow
Italian Summer
Cheaper Than Free
Booty and the beast
Circle Dance
Gold Dust Woman (needs a rest, belongs in Fleetwood Mac set)
Landslide and Dreams (see above)
The Dealer
Lady

[michelej1]

No Covers!!!

I agree. No matter how good they might sound. She needs to do only songs that she's written.

Ditch Rock and Roll.

I like You Can't Fix This a lot, but I agree that she shouldn't sing any covers on this tour, or songs that never made it on her album. Why sing covers when she has so many songs in her own catalog she hasn't sang? I'd love it if she whipped out Sometimes It's a Bitch instead of Need to Know, for example. Or Doing the Best That I Can.

Yes I agree .Dump the covers.If she does covers.Sing something I like.

[Macfanforever]

I'll repeat it again.The only cover that I want to hear Stevie cover is her version of "Silent Night".Others . NOOOOOOO.

[f2theox]

Stevie honey, please do not sing the following:

Rock 'N Roll
Need To Know
Gold Dust Woman

Thank you. You may carry on now. :]:xoxo:

[lilyfee]

Gold Dust Woman (needs a rest, belongs in Fleetwood Mac set)
Landslide and Dreams (see above)


Agreed... I think she needs to stop using her work with FM as a crutch.

[bwboy]

Agreed... I think she needs to stop using her work with FM as a crutch.

I really don't think that's Stevie's intent... Lord knows she's got enough hits and songs on her own that she could sing. But she thinks people will be disappointed if she doesn't sing Dreams, Landslide, etc. I appreciate she's thinking about the fans, I just hope she'll keep the FM songs down to 2, that might be the most realistic scenario.

But using her FM songs as a crutch? I really don't think that's the case.

[Macfanforever]

Stevie honey, please do not sing the following:

Rock 'N Roll
Need To Know
Gold Dust Woman

Thank you. You may carry on now. :]:xoxo:

Never liked the original version of Rock and Roll but did enjoyed Stevie's version but I could do without it.

[olive]

Never liked the original version of Rock and Roll but did enjoyed Stevie's version but I could do without it.

i like her version better than Heart's

I have a great playlist of all the ladies who covered Zep
her version is on it

[StevieandChris]

Boo for this thread <<big grin>>

As I posted above I wish the set list could just grow instead of get cut. Work the next day can just wait. Don't they get we are at a Stevie Nicks concert? Priorities!

[Macfanforever]

Yes.My mind went blank how Hearts version went.I got to check it on YT .My favorite Zep tune is Stairway.

BEST POST EVER!!! :xoxo: Welcome to the Ledge!!!

[sleepless child]

I don't mind any of the songs she wants to sing on this tour, just freshen them up a bit. Change it a little. She has been singing Rhiannon the same way since the Dance.

I need new arrangements please. I liked the new ending she did on Leather and Lace the other night.

[Macfanforever]

I'm sorry to say that she probably has to cut the setlist short this time due to the Pretenders performance.Again I wish she would tour by herself .These combo tours take too much time away from the main artists setlist and they got to go against the clock for that BS 11 pm curfew. That 8:20 crap got to stop too.Come out on time.For hope for a longer show from her this time is more likely not going to happen.The start time for here is 7:30PM for the Mohegan Sun Show.let see what happens.

Speaking of Zeps Stairway.Its on the radio as I type this post.

[pattyfan]

The start time is 7:30, so I think that will leave Stevie enough time to do a full set. I don't think she would play over 1:45 in any case.

Kevin

[annabellee]

I would be happy for Stevie to sing all and any of her entire catalogue including her Fleetwood Mac contributions. I've refocused priorities. There will come a day when we won't hear any of it live again...:angel:

OK .I agree.I'll be surprised that she will hit 90 minutes.

I would be happy for Stevie to sing all and any of her entire catalogue including her Fleetwood Mac contributions. I've refocused priorities. There will come a day when we won't hear any of it live again...:angel:

I agree.I keep thinking and keep saying Glen Campbell's and Linda Ronstadt 's career got cut short.We are so lucky the we still have her and the Mac.I will we can put all the stuff to bed and go and enjoy the show.

[Hawkeye]

Songs that have ZERO reason to be in the set list this year:

1. Enchanted!!! I swear if she does this danmed song she'll have to do at least 4 really impressive surprises or i will not go to any shows. Its an enjoyable song but it will never be a showstopper and she's used at as a deep cut in way too many previous tours this decade. It serves no purpose.

2. Love Is- I'll admit pulling this song out of left field for her very short 2010 tour was one of stevia's greatest setlist shockers this century. Plus she did the demo version that has never been released and it's one of her greatest live vocal performances, BUT it should not close this show. It's not well known, so it doesn't need to close her shows from now until she retires. Pick something else.

3.Rock and Roll/I Need To Know- Do your own songs only Or at the ver least do a different cover. I would have no issues with a new cover song and i don't understand why so many of you have this no covers policy with Stevie.

4. Outside the Rain/How Still My Love/Sorcerer/Fall From Grace- I lumped these 4 together because I think they are all incredible live. The 2 TISL songs in particular get better on every tour and I give Stevie a lot of credit for keeping both of them in her set as long as she did. But all 4 of these songs have been caught on both CD and DVD multiple times and they really should't be played this tour. They are all as unknown as her 24KG songs and need to go to make room for new or never played songs.

Songs I don't want to be in the set but I'd understand why they were:

1. If Anyone Falls
2. Leather and Lace
3. Talk To Me
4. Lady


Not Songs But:

1. Length of Gold Dust Woman- Stevie says in interviews this is a song people expect from her. OK, but do people expect it to be 10 minutes long! I love how long the song is in Fleetwood Mac and how epic it is. But she needs that song to be like that in Fleetwood Mac because it's her only opportunity to have such an epic showstopping event. Plus Fleetwood Mac the band play the **** out of it. On this tour it should be a quick 4 and a half minute song. Now long intro or outro, just the basic song like the 1998 version with Sheryl Crow.

2. Edge Walk- Above all Else, don't do the danmed edge walk this tour. I know this will be unpopular but I'm so sick of this being a thing. Its great she's kept it up so long but enough. Why do we all care about this anyways? Eliminate all the anxiety of trying to get up front plus we save 5 minutes to do another song. The whole arena benefits, not just a select few. It's not like we get quality time with Stevie or even get to speak to her. I've gotten up front 2 of the 4 times I saw her solo and honestly getting to touch her hand wasn't anywhere near the highlight of the show for me.

People don't want Stevie to do covers live when so many of her own songs are ignored. I think most fans would rather hear the Wild Heart than Need to Know, for example.

Exactly - it was different in 1981 when Stevie had only a handful of songs to build a set-list with, and she needed an uptempo rocker to liven up the show. Because face it - many of her songs are total downers. That's what I love about her music, so that is not a criticism.

But now? Stevie has a vast amount of songs to choose from. She doesn't need I Need To Know, or Rock & Roll, or any other song that isn't her own. If she wants an uptempo rocker, she's got: Kick It, No Spoken Word, In Your Dreams, Starshine, Imperial Hotel, Sister Honey, Nothing Ever Changes, Everybody Finds Out - and many, many more. She could also reinvent an old song, or sing an unreleased song.

Point is - Stevie doesn't need to pad her set-list with material that isn't her own, and frankly, I don't know why she would even want to. She can't possibly be bored with her own material.

Yes, as much of a delightful surprise as Crash was, she has songs that she has written that she could take out of moth balls and stun the audience with just as strongly.

I have a ticket (will call) to Stevie's show at the Golden 1 Centre in Sacramento CA.

Agreed re: covers. Don't do them. We're already going to be listening to great music written by other people that same night, that is, Chrissy Hynde and The Pretenders.

There is absolutely no need for covers to be performed. I love Back on the Chain Gang and I'm positive it will be included in the show.

Songs I don't want Stevie to do when I see her perform in December:
Crash into Me
Rock n Roll
Need to Know
(I love all of the above tunes but I know their inclusion means the exclusion of deep cuts and unreleased demos that I would rather hear instead.)
I also don't want:
Dreams
Gold Dust Woman
(But Landslide is a must, sorry! Has to be done!)
Rhiannon I can take it or leave it, but let's be honest: Stevie Nicks ALWAYS does Dreams, Gold Dust Woman, Landslide and Rhiannon at EVERY show.

I don't want Ghosts Are Gone, as I Don't Care is a much better choice.

I do want basically anything off 24 Karat Gold including Twisted and (my favourite) Watch Chain, except for Mabel Normand. I'm going to be mildly disappointed if Belle Fleur is not included in the set. I want at least half a dozen songs from 24 KG and 3-4 songs from IYD, but NOT Soldier's Angel.

That's all from me on this one! :shrug:

i agree
when Dave Mathews dropped out of doing it with her on sound stage she should have dropped it , this and here voice in free falling are harsh like touched by an angel and if you ever did believe I can't get past the first 2 words

.These combo tours take too much time away from the main artists setlist and they got to go against the clock for that BS 11 pm curfew. That 8:20 crap got to stop too.Come out on time.The start time for here is 7:30PM for the Mohegan Sun.

Disagree on this one. Ghosts Are Gone is exciting and energetic. I Don't Care is just repetitive. I really don't get the fascination with this song.

I think if that song had been recorded earlier in her career, Ghosts Are Gone could have been the concert staple Fall From Grace has become. It's got a great guitar hook.

I'd KILL for an extended Planets of the Universe. That was the great lost opportunity of the TISL tour.

I agree with Soldier's Angel. Only because she mentioned in a recent interview that she wanted to or had to sing this one. I appreciate the thought and the sentiment of the song and understand it's significance to Stevie. But I saw her perform this on the tour with Rod Stewart and it brought the entire show to a halt. Everyone was like - WTF. It just really stymied all of the energy and enthusiasm and killed all the excitement in the venue.

I want to have fun and be happy and escape from the world and my everyday problems when I go to a show. I don't want to listen to a slow clunky song about war and wounded soldiers for entertainment.

If she needs a slow ballad, bring back HAEWAFY. I know we heard it for years, but it's been gone a while. Or even Beauty and the Beast. I will cringe if she does Soldier's Angel again.


UGH!!! Here she is mentioning Soldier's Angel again! Please NOOOOOO!!!!

The start time is 7:30, so I think that will leave Stevie enough time to do a full set. I don't think she would play over 1:45 in any case.

Kevin

According to one of her recent interviews, she said she has 2:15, but who knows if she will use it all.

Yes .I see that.Count me out throwing money away at any casino.Especially after paying those inflated tix prices.I will look for food to eat there. I do like the casino shows better then the stand alone venues since the stand alone just throw you out on the street.At the casinos people can go eat and play the slots or see a late show there.

The 'winners' are here- the songs people hope Stevie don't sing are:

7) Landslide with 5 votes

6) and 5) and 4) Lady and Rock and Roll and Dreams tied with 6 votes

3) and 2) Soldier's Angel and I Need to Know tied with 7 votes

The winner with 8 votes is...

1) Gold Dust Woman

Fans would prefer Stevie skip her FM songs and the covers, and Lady and Soldier's Angel. Ironically, it's almost guaranteed that she'll sing at least 3 of the FM songs listed, if not all 4. Lady was a single off her last album, so that song has a good chance of being played. And Soldier's Angel is one of the few songs Stevie has actually mentioned in interviews, so that's likely to be played.

[Macfanforever]

Some of the tunes mention here should never get omitted.Why bother going and I should just stay home.As said ,The crap rock cover I could do with out.
