I enjoyed it, but I also thought there were too many cooks in the kitchen. A rather simplistic song was turned into a theatrical extravaganza and it detracted from it.

Maybe she misinterpreted the question!

Here's my dream setlist for the "next" tour, if there is one...

The Chain
Dreams
Not that Funny
Say You Will
Eyes of the World
Never Going Back Again
Rhiannon
Come
Sara
Big Love
Landslide
Thrown Down
I'm So Afraid
Sisters of the Moon
Bleed to Love Her
Silver Springs
Tusk
Angel
Go Your Own Way
World Turning
Say Goodbye

I agree. I was so excited to hear that IKINW was added to the set list, but I was disappointed with all of the "fluff" that was included with it. I'm afraid the same thing would happen to Angel, too.

I wish they'd knock off "Dreams" too. I know they're tryin to please the folks who are there to hear the Rumours stuff, but that one is startin to get on my nerves! I'd love for Angel to replace it, but only if they do it right!

Really? I'm surprised that so many people feel this way. I definitely thought it kicked and I loved the energy that it brought with everyone involved.


On a side note: I find it interesting how the same songs can change with different tours. There are different players, different backup singers, different arrangment etc. It can totally change the song from blah to yah! or vice versa. For instance...in my opinion, Save Me a Place totally blew on the Tusk tour, but when LB did it for OOTC it was totally awesome! I loved it :) However, one song that I think never changes, no matter what tour, and is always blah is 'Dreams.' They should do something different to spice it up a little.

:angel: angel :angel: is a wonderful song, that i wish they would do again live or even stevie solo, loved it during the bella donna tour!!!~ also the video of it on the tusk documentary, i just freakin' love it, love all the dancing around she does & the interaction lindsey has w/ her, so yeah i say, bring back :angel: ANGEL :angel: , baby!!!~

brightest stevie blessings~

Ah...but if we're stuck with that no matter what, we might as well hear some different songs, no?

I really thought IKINW was bad. I liked Eyes of the World much better. IKINW just kept going on and on and on. There was no pizazz to it, but still it was nice ot hear another song from tusk live.

Dreams yes is not too great in concert but Stevie said it is her FAVORITE song because it never gets dropped from the set.

If they did Miranda I would be ao friggin happy because that song rocks!

In mansfield the crowd was more into the new songs than the older ones. I am not kidding about this either.

Haha this is very true. I bet half of them wouldn't know the difference if he introduced it that way :laugh: But I do think that if they did Miranda (or even Destiny Rules or Everybody Finds Out) rather than Peacekeeper as the first new song, the crowd would warm up to the 'new song' slump a lot better. It's a double whammy when they mention new album and then go through PK, which just lags. I doubt we'll ever hear it live again.


As for the 'fluff' issue with IKINW - I think they only did that because it's so early in the set list. I think Lindsey didn't necessarily want to give up/trade Eyes of the World, and so he realized he needed to amp up IKINW as a really energetic third song if he was going to replace it. If it were later in the set, I bet it'd be toned down but right now it's the 'keep people on their feet' song. That's why I'd prefer it much later on in the show.

i think they'd be really stoked to hear Miranda - I know i would be, i love that song. good thoughts on IKINW...I liked it, though...didn't mind the amped up version...
