Lori Nicks in Vegas
 

From the Nicksfix:

We talked to Lori and she said she has been in rehearsals with Stevie for the past week. Look for her to be singing on a few songs with Stevie and the band at the four Las Vegas shows. Lori said she is excited to singing again and looks forward to seeing everyone at the shows.

That kicks a**!!! Lori and Sharon are the best!

OH MY GOD!!! I'm thinking Stevie's whippin' out NIGHTBIRD!!! :blob1:

...but she warns everyone...if you approach her in the casino and ask her what it's like to be Stevie's sister in law for the 500th time, she'll pop a cap in your ass.

:lol: :laugh: :lol:
which subsequently said cap will show up on ebay...

Wow. When was the last time Lori sang with Stevie on stage?

That would be the most awesome thing ever. :shocked:

this was my big gamble, assuming that lori will sing and that stevie will pull out the stevie&lori songs. Nightbird being my fav-o-rite... what other songs are we thinking the other ms. nicks will sing?

beauty and the beast

Now I have to add another thing to my list of things to bring...tissue :(
Now everything is starting to set in and the antic-i-pation is getting growing.

"And when I call, will you walk gently through my shadow"

P.S. This lady I work with was at Red Rocks during the filmed concert. :eek:
She said it was the best concert she had ever seen.

I'm going to sit in a corner and sulk now.... even more jealous of all you guys going!

Pip

Did you read what Kelly posted? Stevie is tenatively scheduled to be back in Vegas in October! Look on the bright side :xoxo:
Brit

That's wonderful. I can't wait to see Miss Lo-retta sing with Stevie again. :thumbsup:

Still won't have the money to get to Vegas in October! Wah!

Pip

Well now I've been reduced to tears...I can't BELIEVE I'm missing this :mad:

I'm with you. :(

Oh, Lori, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways... :xoxo:

rehearsals
 

I do hope it's for Nightbird

:blob2:

That's such a lame question anyway! Anyone who has a chance to talk with Lori and asks that deserves to be, ah.."popped."

Me, too. :(

As the shows near me get cancelled, and Vegas gets better and better... I wish Stevie and Sharon and Lori would take their show on the road and do the July dates. I think they'd sell MORE tickets than Don and Stevie would have.

It looks like Elton John is in residence at Caesars for all of October except the last week, so if Stevie does anything it will have to be that last week. And it just so happens that I will be in Vegas for the last week of October anyway for work. Yippee for me! :laugh:

This is awesome news! :blob1:

If they bust out Nightbird, I can die happy (well, somewhat anyway).

with the face of Jesus on one side and Mary on the other :wavey:

Pip - if I had not used all my miles to go to China (140,000) - I would get free tickets for you and and about ten other Ledgies!!!!!!!!!! :laugh:

But - you know you will gete all the juice from here!!! :wavey:

Whaaa? Stevie, Vegas AND Halloween? How happy can you be??? :blob1:

:xoxo: :xoxo:

"Nightbird" would be the adventurous, exciting choice- however, my head is swimming a little bit with the thought of an awesome rendition of "Beauty and the Beast" as well.

****, do both!

If she wallows somewere below middle C instead of soaring perhaps two F's above middle C for the the "You'll seeeee" and/or does a stocatto like chant in lieu of elongating the vowel a la the record and the SG and SNL performances, I will have a mad cloud like this :mad: above my head :wavey: I wish and wish she will be adventerous. I mean it is not like she has to hit those notes for three months in the Summer humidity of a shed.

Come darlin - let see you SOAR - I know you can - I've seen you do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so buzzed/freeeeked out that there is evidence that she's actually gonna do something with these performances- I just bought tickets for Saturday night!!!! :blob2: :blob2: :blob2:

Any possibility that the John Kinney update and the weekly picture on the Nicksfix is any indication that "Nightbird" will actually happen??? Hope-a-hope-a-hope-a-hope!

If she does it right, the part where I'm gonna burst out bawling is the-

"Through the dark and the net of the lace...."

Jeezus, my eyes are watering up right now just thinking about it.....

Maybe they will have the Saturday Night Live clip or the Solid Gold Clip of them on video in the background :shrug:

though i would LOVE to hear BATB, i doubt that she would do it justice. but then again... she could mumble it with her fingers in her mouth and i'd still cry (in a good way)...

WOOOOOOT! :]

I think you might be right ;)

Ok, I'm totally ready to get some flak here, but what's the big deal about Lori Nicks? I never liked her singing, and other than being Jessica Nicks' mom, there is absolutely no significance to me.
She never came off as a warm person in the interview clips I saw, and I found her stage presence overbearing, just like her vocals. Especially on the Wild Heart Tour.
I think alot of Stevie's other back up singers were way more talented- Marilyn Martin being one.
Sorry, I just dont get the fuss.

for me, the appeal of Lori is more about getting Nightbird than anything else.

Um, Waddy?

PUT YOUR ARMS DOWN!!!! :laugh:

They are totally going to do Nightbird. It's Lori's all time favorite song to sing with Stevie. So, they TOTALLY HAVE TO DO IT!!! And my head will fly off my shoulders when they do. And oh my god! Beauty and the Beast!!! Hadn't even thought of that one!!!

Yeah but will they go for the retro use of the Oberheim or Prophet or whatever it was? or will "Nightbird" fly digitally?

Nobody ever thinks about the important stuff. :laugh: :laugh:

Good point!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

:eek: :eek:
