What do you want Stevie to sing this summer?
 

Stevie's touring this summer & she's hiring you to plan her set.

1. Midnight in Memphis (Bette Midler)
2. Ta Mo Chleamhnas Deanta (Traditional)
3. Gold & Braid (Stevie Nicks/Tom Moncrief)
4. Under Pressure (Freddie Mercury/David Bowie)
5. If Anyone Falls (Stevie Nicks/Sandy Stewart)
6. Some People (Cliff Richard)
7. Instrumental Break - "Menuet Antique" (Ravel)
8. Outside the Rain (Stevie Nicks)
9. Sweet Betsy from Pike (Traditional

ENCORE

10. Yesterdays (Jerome Kern/Otto Harbach)

Why was Moncrief never credited for G&B?

oh, lordy.

At Last and The Highwayman AND she MUST belt them and not revert to, as Tower put it - the five note Stevie :D

I've only been saying that for two years, dear. :lol:

Midnight In Memphis along with Shiver Me Timbers (Bette's live arrangment, not the the one from the New Depression album).

dreaming set list...
 

Ok here is my little Stevie singing wish list-= Covers, most of them----wouldn't it be great to hear her rendition of these excellent tunes? In no particular order, I might add, and with no connection theme either, for that matter-Just songs I would like to hear again and again...

Walkin after Midnight- Patsy Cline
At Last- Etta James
Someone to lay down beside me-Karla Bonoff
Delta Dawn w/Bette Midler, that would be cool :D
Mistaken Love- Stevie Demo, I love
I need to know- Tom Petty
Rock a Little- Stevie
and Barracuda...and These Dreams -Heart( I read somewhere that These Dreams was actually written for Stevie, but I don't know if she turned it down or what the strory was...)
Encore= Safe and Warm- Sheryl Crowe

I'd pay top buck to see a show like that :) :)

hello from a newbie
 

Hi everyone, I'm new. I'm a huge Stevie fan, and while I'm not too thrilled with yet another shed tour and sharing a bill with Henley, I will take any piece of Stevie I can get.

Great thread topic. First, I'll start with what I *know* will be her setlist. As much as I love me some Stevie, she is one predictable woman.

1. Outside The Rain (she'll bring it back)
2. Dreams (I'll fall over dead if this is never her #2 song)
3. Enchanted (she clearly loves this one, I do too)
4. Gold Dust Woman
5. Sorcerer
6. Landslide
7. Rhiannon
8. Stand Back
9. Edge of Seventeen
Encore:
10. I Need To Know
11. HAWAFY

My dream setlist:

1. Outside The Rain (the opener I grew up with and love)
2. Talk To Me
3. Candlebright
4. Gold and Braid
5. Rooms on Fire
6. Beauty and the Beast
7. Too Far From Texas
8. Stop Dragging My Heart Around
9. Stand Back
10. Edge of Seventeen
Encore:
11. Fall From Grace
12. Highwayman or After The Glitter Fades

Bella Donna
Edge of 17
If Anyone Falls
B&tB
TISL
I Can't Wait
Talk To Me
Rooms on Fire
If You Ever Did Believe
Touched by an Angel
Reconsider Me
Stand Back
Think About It
Fall From Grace
The Highwayman

Any Petty song other than I Need To Know :laugh:

If (yeah, right, "if") she does some of her Mac tunes, I'd prefer something different. I don't think Landslide should ever be done again without LB (or SS, for that matter.) Leave Rhiannon & GDW out this time too. Give me Storms, Angel, EFO, Illume or even That's Alright (I'd actually prefer Straight Back, but I don't think her vocal would be powerful enough now.)

EDIT: I just read Rickypt's post (welcome to the board, btw!) :wavey: and I also want OTR back.

*falls over and dies*

I agree. :nod:

My setlist of cover tunes:

1. Midnight In Memphis (same as David because it's a stellar opener)
2. Sunday- David Bowie
3. Ghost Riders In the Sky- Johnny Cash
4. The Ballad of Lucy Jordan- Marianne Faithfull
5. Hot Fun In the Summertime- Sly and the Family Stone
6. Wild Thing- Troggs
7. Humpty Dumpty- Aimee Mann
8. Union City Blue- Blondie
9. Essence- Lucinda Williams
10. You'll Never Know- Rosemary Clooney
11. Sing As We Go- Gracie Fields
12. Rose's Turn- Sondheim and Styne
13. Funny Honey- Kander and Ebb
14. Bike Boy- Debbie Harry
15. Lather- Jefferson Airplane
16. Ashes To Ashes- David Bowie (her low voice could hit this one out of the park)
17. Loco de Mor (Crazy for Love)- David Byrne and Celia Cruz

ENCORE

18. White Light White Heat- The Velvet Underground
19. Shiver Me Timbers- Bette Midler/Tom Waits

I think I would trade Just Like a Woman for Blue Lamp though :nod:

Violet and Blue
 

Thanks for the hello, skcin.

And I need to add "Violet and Blue" to my setlist and will give up Stop Dragging My Heart Around.

Welcome to The Ledge! :blob2:

Yeah...sure...
 

like she would sing what I wanted her to sing...That is a good joke my friend :lol:

I am sure she will once again play it safe instead of just goin' all out vocally.

No Questions Asked

Are you talking about the recorded version or, GASP, a live one. If there is a live one, I need it IMMEDIATELY :laugh: :laugh:

[email protected]

No, I think V. just meant the cut from "Orders from Headquarters." Stevie & Robbie never sang that live, as far as I know. Anyone hear of an occasion? I think the only time they even appeared on stage together was for the Bob Welch & Friends club dates in November 1981 (although he may have appeared with the Fleetwood Macsters at the UCLA Rock 'n' Run benefit for muscular dystrophy in 1983 -- I can't remember).

What ever happened to Robbie Patton (aside from getting older)? Into the bargain bins?

I think you have the best chance of getting your dream list of anyone here! I think Night Bird, Wild Heart, and Highway Man are the only three she's never done live, right?

I really don't want to hear Edge of Seventeen, even tho I know she'll play it. But I want to hear Sister Honey, Nightbird, Wild Heart, and I Sing For Things fo sho.

Of course she'll do Edge, I for one would be inconsolable if she didn't! It's one of the few "heavier" tunes that she still does & still does well. That opening riff gets me so pumped up at a show - I <3 it!

You know what? I just don't want to hear all the songs we've heard live so many times before. I don't want Outside the Rain or Dreams, Rhiannon ( :sorry: ) or I Need to Know, or Stand Back ( :sorry: again). I want her to go into the vaults and pull out old, beautiful songs and some of the more rockin' ones that have never seen the bright lights of the live stage. And for those of us who have been with her for years and years and years... some of the lesser known demos. I'm not going to make a list - I'm just going to hope she takes a risk.

Thanks for the welcomes, everyone. :wavey:

catinthedark, I hear you loud and clear. I've just given up hope that Stevie (or FM) will ever shake up her setlist. I've always been hoping for a club or theater tour, but obviously she's hitting the sheds again with Henley. That House of Blues experience was so great but it was 5 years ago.

I would be fine never hearing Dreams or Rhiannon again. And I never got into I Need To Know, have no idea why she insists on keeping that in the list.

But Stand Back, my goodness I think I could spend the rest of my life watching a live performance of that over and over. :laugh:

It's a good song, dont get me wrong. But I just got sick of it after the first 100 times of hearing it

Nice choices. I always thought that Sable on Blonde would be an excellent swap for Dreams. It has the same beat/vibe as Dreams and would segue seamlessly from Outside The Rain.

I'd like to think that there is someone in Stevie's camp who would have the objectivity and influence to suggest and lobby for inspired changes in her live performances. Perhaps there is, but they probably get shot down -- she's too fearful to change.

Not me. No way. Never.

Now Dreams, on the other hand... :laugh:

Niiiice. I would add "Beautiful Child" in there, simply because it moved me so much last tour. And I've been dying to hear "Belladonna."

I was going to put Beautiful Child in there, but opted not to because I want it be special and I don't think it will be if she hauls it out from now on. :o
