New set list?

[Macfan4life]

According to Ms Nick's social media, she is putting together a new set list and was taking requests via twitter. However take this with a grain of salt. There is a photo of Stevie practicing with her band but she says herself she does not use social media. I am sure no one's request will make the cut. Its also not the first time Stevie has said something about a new setlist only to have the same one rehashed in some way.
Dont hold your breath but we shall see. It was nice to see someone request Kind of Woman. She could handle that song vocally and its one she has never done before from her most successful solo album.

I don’t expect any big changes in the set. It is interesting that Stevie is entertaining the thought. The Facebook thread is massively long and there is a lot people are requesting Blue Lamp. If this moves the needle just a little bit in the set list it will be a good thing. We are going to the Knoxville show. The days of being in the pit are over. It is a fortune for good seats.

Agree 100%. On a side note I have been reading great reviews about Springsteen's tour. Imagine if Stevie gave us set lists like his that change every night? Plus he does 27 songs per show. The last 7 songs he sings are his encores!

Yes, I saw all the people on Twitter and FB begging for "Landslide" and "Dreams." :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I love listening to all the Super Bowl bets before the big game. They have bets for everything for how long the National Anthem will be or will Rhianna open an umbrella during her performance, etc.
It would be a fun game for people to guess the songs in her upcoming setlist. Whoever guesses the most songs should win a prize. But it would get complicated on a message board. Like most, I bet she is sticking to a safe and predictable set list with maybe 1 surprise which really wont be a surprise. IMHO a surprise would be a song she has never performed live before or maybe not since 1981 or something.

My suggested set list would be:

I Cant Wait - full rock edit
SDMHA
Kind of Woman
If Anyone Falls
Blue Lamp
Change of Heart (Petty Cover)
Sara
Long Way To Go
How Still My Love
Leather and Lace
Garbo (small acoustic set)
Landslide
Stand Back - only because she has to do it
Ooh My Love
Sable on Blonde
Rhiannon
Edge of 17

Encores:
Rooms on Fire
The Highwayman

Yes what you said Macfan4life. I can also see her adding Rooms on Fire to the set list. She can easily hit this one with her current “range”.

Great setlist. I wouldn't want to hear Change of Heart. I'd like Insider.

Sara doesn't go in her solo set. It only did for her SoundStage because the producer asked her to do it. But now that FM has been put to bed, I guess she could do it.

She did do Sara on the short White Winged Dove tour ,the entire Wild Heart tour and early on in the RAL tour. You have to add Dreams what he said about Stand Back goes double for that one.

I know she did. She also did Angel. But she stopped in the 80s. In 2007, Joe Thomas asked her to do Sara in her SoundStage, she did it, and never did it in a solo show in the 15 years since.

Oddly though, she brought Gypsy back into her solo set after 30 plus years.

She dropped Angel midway into the Wild Heart tour. I saw her in October 1983 and it was gone never to return I believe.

She did not do Sara for about the first month of the Wild Heart tour (June 1983). Angel was performed instead. In July Angel was swapped with Sara.

It doesn't really go which is the reason I put it there. I realize its not reality but a pipe dream. I was trying to hang up the stale Gold Dust Woman, Gypsy, and Dreams for something fresh and from her rich Mac history. It would be such a surprise and refreshing midway through the set.

I'm with you. Or even to open the show like she did one time on the BTM Mask Tour in New Jersey:laugh: No one has ever said they witnessed it here.

I thought her band did a great job with Gypsy in 2016, but I don't know about you, I thought the SoundStage one was lame. So much acoustic guitar strumming in the beginning.

I thought the best recent ones were 2015-2017, thanks to Brett and Neale. I'm not sure if Ricky, Darrell, or Benmont could do what they did on keys or if Carlos on opening guitar.

Sara will never be the Tusk/Mirage Sara again. I never liked her solo Sara and was nails down the chalkboard for me. But its getting late. It would be a welcome change.

Oh lord, the Sara 1990 rumor. I am 99.99999999999% sure there is no way that ever happened. It’s been thrown around the internet for as long as I’ve been on the internet and in no way does it track with anything we know about Fleetwood Mac or Stevie Nicks. Ever.

Her band did indeed do a good job with Gypsy starting in 2016. The problem with Gypsy is Stevie. She can’t do the song justice vocally anymore and hasn’t been able to do so since The Dance.

I don’t intend to see her show but she would really benefit from shaking it up a bit again. I would banish songs like If Anyone Falls and Enchanted along with Gypsy and Rhiannon. Gold Dust has really turned into a tour de force for her and she admittedly does a good job with it solo and with the Mac. The dance is ridiculous but the extended jam works and vocally she mostly has this one perfected still.

Kind of Woman is an interesting suggestion that I don’t think she could pull off vocally. I’d say songs like these would be on my list: Think About It, After the Glitter Fades, I Will Run to You, I Can’t Wait, Beauty and the Beast, HAEWAFY, Rooms on Fire, That’s Alright, Beautiful Child, Thrown Down, Everybody Finds Out, Fall From Grace.

[Wdm6789]

I saw her in 2022 and she’s not coming to my city in 2023 so if she adds any songs, that I love, to her set list that she didn’t play when I saw her, I’ll be upset lol.

But I do think Stevie should do a tribute to Christine.

Stevie has not done the crack head dance for several years now. GDW is so overdone and is probably one of the biggest bores now. However it is a staple in her show like Landslide.

Regarding the 1990 BTW rumor. I remember it too in the early days of the internet. I had no reason not to believe it since I was not there. But I always thought it would be so weird as an opener and only for one night. About 15 years ago I heard a bootleg from the show and of course it was not there. So 100% our suspicions were correct that it was not true. Would it not be fascinating to discover the origins of such a rumor. Was it purely made up or maybe it was performed at a sound check or something. Stevie could not hit the high notes on Kinds of Woman but most of the song does not have high notes and her bringing those ones down would not impact the song IMHO. Its a fairly basic song at slow speed. It would be a treat IMHO but like you, I wont be attending any of her shows regardless.
Oh lord, please NO NO NO Fall From Grace :eek:

I think vocally GDW and Landslide are still stellar with her current voice. Gypsy no so much.

[GypsySorcerer]

Yeah, little chance of the setlist being changed much. If anything, she might do a new cover song or two.

I do remember when the commentary for her music videos was released, and she made a casual comment about putting "Whole Lotta Trouble" back in the set. Several thought it might happen, but of course it didn't.

Ha ha yes. And dont forget the interviews she did before her Vegas stint. She was concerned the stage was too big and she would use a cordless microphone and possibly put Sisters of the Moon in her set. None of it happened.

[snroxman]

NO to "Whole Lotta Trouble". If I were going to see one of this year's shows (a strong maybe), I'd offer an extra $20 to not have WLT. It could literally be replaced with anything - Stevie reading a poem by herself or anything else - just not WLT. It had its time (89, 91, and 98). Being that this year has double-bill shows with Billy Joel increases the odds greatly.

Curious why she doesn't bring back stuff she did on Enchanted Tour or the Millenium shows: Sleeping Angel, Twisted, Rooms On Fire, Garbo, Rose Garden.

She brought back Gold and Braid in 2016 and that was a surprise.

Maybe she'll do more stuff from Bella Donna and The Wild Heart since they're 40 years old now.

Now I have a feeling she won't duet with Billy.

[snroxman]

Now I have a feeling she won't duet with Billy.

I think you're right. There's one song they've both done that would make a fantastic duet. It's "Rock N Roll". If it does happen, I'll be thrilled.

[JeremyGloff]

What if this was the set list? LOL

Opening music: Bootylicious
What Has Rock And Roll Ever Done For You (feat Dolly)
I Still Miss Someone
When I See You Again
Jane
Cheaper Than Free

Encore:
I Don't Care
Show Them The Way

I've never heard Billy's Rock and Roll. I believe his background singer does it when they play You May Be Right. But Billy is a Led Zep fan.

I think it would be cool to hear Stevie sing Uptown Girl and It's Still Rock and Roll To Me.

That would be Miss Crystal Taliefero! A true force of nature. A friend from my hometown, and she got me my first pro keyboard, as she had an endorsement. She started with Mellencamp, then Springsteen, but she's been with Billy now for decades.

I love her. I think she teaches at IU as well. Billy has another singer that plays in a tribute band.
One moment i love every time Billy sings I Go To Extremes, and he sings clear as a crystal, he shouts Crystal and the screen shows her.

I remember she was in Bruce's "Other Band" Tour. Probably the best member. Bruce did bring Roy along for that tour which to me means that Roy is the E Street Sound

She's a wonderful, down to Earth person. She's battled cancer for the past couple of years, but I think she's beaten it now.

[snroxman]

[QUOTE=UnwindedDreams;1282950]Billy has another singer that plays in a tribute band.

Yep! His name is Michael DelGuidice. His tribute band has been around for a long time. He's been in Billy's band for quite a while now too. That man can sing and play! He does his own shows, the tribute band shows, a "From the Cans" show, and Billy's. I first saw him when I went to a NYE show of Billy Joel's a few years ago. During 2020, I learned he did shows online too - still does occasionally between other gigs.

Honestly, to have both Billy's band and Stevie's in the same night is a good night.

In Billy's shows, he sings "Nessum Dorma" and the "Rock N Roll" interlude in "You May Be Right". Huge fan now of both Billy Joel AND DelGuidice. While I would LOVE to hear Billy's band and Stevie do "Rock N Roll", it's probably one of those wish list items darn it.

[UnwindedDreams]

^ Billy has a great band. Crystal Taliefero is my favorite, followed by Mark Rivera.

If Stevie had Crystal as a member in her band, she would take her live show to another level. But percussion got cut from the Stevie budget in 2012.

[BigAl84]

I always wondered what was behind that random decision to no longer have a percussionist on stage. I guess it was eating into the take home tour profits??

It looks like Benmont Tench isn't part of the 2023 band any longer. I didn't see him in any videos of the recent shows she's done.

Probably since everyone plays with tracks now, they just unmute the percussion tracks.

Longtime SN and FM fan here. And also an ardent Springsteen fan, so your comment comparing Stevie's setlist and Springsteen's setlist caught my attention.

- Saw Springsteen in concert second stop of this tour from front and center in the Pit. My 14th Springsteen show since 1984 and it was incredible. For him, a relatively short show at "just" 2:44 minutes. But it was a non-stop, full speed ahead, kick-ass rock show. 73 year old Springsteen and band really brought it. Worth every dollar of the (face-value, but rather pricey $349+ fees) Pit tickets I purchased.

- One of the big complaints some Springsteen fans have had (in addition to the much reported "Dynamic Pricing" brouhaha with Ticketmaster) on their similar indy fan message board: his setlist this tour is barely changing one show to the next. Maybe a song or two here and there. But it has basically been the same setlist.

I'm hoping to get to see Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band one more arena show this tour in a month. If it is the exact same setlist I've already seen, no complaints from me - it was that good!

- In contrast, I don't know if I'm going to see Stevie Nicks this tour. I like her music a lot and enjoy her concerts. But the ticket prices are ridiculous. Even if she is taking requests to supposedly change up the setlist, I don't think her show justifies the prices she is charging. Apparently, I'm not the only one who thinks that... she's hardly sold any tickets for her show in Atlanta (same venue that I saw Bruce at, that was almost entirely sold). The market is finally pushing back against ridiculously priced concert tickets, and I'm glad to see that.

Agree 100%. On a side note I have been reading great reviews about Springsteen's tour. Imagine if Stevie gave us set lists like his that change every night? Plus he does 27 songs per show. The last 7 songs he sings are his encores!

I know Bruce hasn't changed his set that much night to night, but he's still playing 6-9 songs from albums released 2020-2022 so it is a fresh setlist. It looks like he's doing album tracks like Kitty's Back, Candy's Room, Johnny 99, and E Street Shuffle which aren't necessarily setlist staples. His setlist is almost double Stevie's.
Stevie really just needs to do Edge of 17, Stop Draggin, Rhiannon, Landslide, Gold Dust Woman, and Stand Back, and then she should choose 10-12 songs to work around those.

I was shocked to read at his latest tour stop many of his tickets were reduced to 10.00 just to be able to fill the swaths of empty seats. Some tickets were even lowered to 6.00. So I am also glad to hear people are not spending their life savings to see a concert. I'm sure the same thing will happen to Stevie.

Were these official box office tickets lowered or resale?

[vivfox]

Were these official box office tickets lowered or resale?

I think so but I'm not 100% sure.

[deluge]

I can answer this question definitively, since I’ve been following it closely as a fan:

1) The $6 and $10 tickets to Springsteen you read about were for *behind the stage* tickets at one venue: Tulsa. A city where Springsteen does not have a strong following. He’s actually played there very few times previously.

2) These $6 and $10 tickets were *sold by re-sellers* taking a bath on their misguided attempt to scalp tickets in a very weak market. These were NOT first-sale tickets sold by the venue/TM. (Notably, tickets that were not behind the stage were not discounted like that by resellers even in Tulsa.)

3) Tickets for Springsteen everywhere else are commanding high prices. Both first-sale by the venue/TM and by resellers. This was really a unique situation in one city only, with behind the stage tickets, sold by resellers who took a bath trying to scalp tickets in a weak market.

Regarding Stevie Nicks tickets for this tour: I’ve never seen a show sell as poorly as her upcoming show in Atlanta. I’ve been going to concerts for 40+ years and my read is she overplayed her hand in her pricing.

Stevie has returned Fall From Grace to her setlist after 12 years. Sara has returned after 16 years.


Edit: The Christine tribute was photos of her and Stevie on the screen during Landslide.

[SpyNote]

Her band did indeed do a good job with Gypsy starting in 2016. The problem with Gypsy is Stevie. She can’t do the song justice vocally anymore and hasn’t been able to do so since The Dance.

This is my favorite song. It's been immortazlizd on YouTube, so if anyone is going to judge it, it's gonna be me. :laugh:

Agree. The band has the music sounding very close to the 1982 recorded version. I actually like how she sings it today given her limited range. Even during The Dance days, she strained to get to those notes of yonder and it sounded, well, strained. Same with Silver Springs. But fast forward to 2016, singing the bridge an octave lower from "And if I was from a child" sounds more natural without sacrificing too much emotional depth. Sharon and Marilyn sing the same melody as Stevie on those lines, so it just sounds fuller to my ears. I really enjoy what Al brings to the song, too. He has a very nuanced voice, so when he sings "Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice," it really stands out in a good way.

So * * * 3/4 stars of our 5 for the 2023 Gypsy.

I think this acoustic version with Lindsey from 2000 is the best it's ever sounded on stage. I'd love to see this arrangement make a return.

I loved this. It was such a nice surprise at the time and I would’ve sworn they would do some form of this arrangement with the reformed 4-piece Fleetwood Mac in 2003. Of course, it’s never been done that way again in 23 years.
