Well, tomorrow night is opening night in Philly... anyone have any predictions on...

how many duets will Stevie and Don do?
how long will Stevie's set be?
what song will end the show?
will "If Anyone Falls" be cut from the set?
what about "Beauty And The Beast"?
Will Stevie wear the boots at all? and if so, during which songs?
Will she do anything different from the Vegas shows?
Will she spin during Stand Back?

How many duets will Stevie and Don do?
3
-Leather and Lace
-The Highwayman
-Stevie will duet on a Don song

how long will Stevie's set be?
one hour and ten minutes

what song will end the show?
The Highwayman

will "If Anyone Falls" be cut from the set?
no

what about "Beauty And The Beast"?
I see it staying in

Will Stevie wear the boots at all? and if so, during which songs?
only on the duets, if that

Will she do anything different from the Vegas shows?
aside from the duets, I doubt it.

Will she spin during Stand Back?
yes

Will she hit the high note at the end of "Fall From Grace"?
Out of all the songs being dropped, this would be my first choice.

I doubt it.. FFG has become a new staple in her set, much like INTK.. i think there's much more of a chance of HSML being dropped more so than FFG...

how many duets will Stevie and Don do?
2 - L&L and Highwayman

how long will Stevie's set be?
1 hour 25 minutes

what song will end the show?
Highwayman

will "If Anyone Falls" be cut from the set?
Nope

what about "Beauty And The Beast"?
Yup

Will Stevie wear the boots at all? and if so, during which songs?
Not at all

Will she do anything different from the Vegas shows?
If there is a God, she won't have a giant screen behind her showing film of those stupid f*cking frolicking unicorns on it

Will she spin during Stand Back?
Yes, but only 2 or 3 times

Will she hit the high note at the end of "Fall From Grace"?
I don't think she'll go for it.

It's only been on one tour. :shrug:....and a set of Vegas dates. She may start out with it, but drop it down the line.

As long as there...
 

will be recordings circulating of the Stevie/Henley shows is all that matters to me :nod:

Amen, brother! :thumbsup:

Since the first time she did it 4 years ago, not a solo show has gone by where FFG wasn't played.. even during her benefit shows in late 2001 and early 2002, it was performed... she loves that song... it's here to stay, imo :nod:

You're right with HSML being dropped first, prolly. I think it's a bore, live. http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoti...ep/schla07.gif

I'd rather see FFG dropped than HSML. After she BSed her way out of that high note on FFG, I was so upset. She built it up then farted through the end.

She doesn't have many BD songs in her set to begin with, which i sstupid because most of the casual fans own BD and would recognize most of the songs on there if she did them live.

how many duets will Stevie and Don do?
I think they will do 2-3
how long will Stevie's set be?
i would say 1 hr 10 mins
what song will end the show?
HAEWAFY
will "If Anyone Falls" be cut from the set?
I dont think so
what about "Beauty And The Beast"?
Probably, altho I hope not
Will Stevie wear the boots at all? and if so, during which songs?
Maybe last couple of songs
Will she do anything different from the Vegas shows?
I think she will do HIGHWAYMAN and L& L
Will she spin during Stand Back?
I doubt it...maybe a kick tho
Will she hit the high note at the end of "Fall From Grace"?
Not if Vegas is any indication

Chris

how many duets will Stevie and Don do? Two.
how long will Stevie's set be? An hour.
what song will end the show? Leather and Lace.
will "If Anyone Falls" be cut from the set? Most definitely.
what about "Beauty And The Beast"? Yup.
Will Stevie wear the boots at all? and if so, during which songs? Beats me. She seems to like being weighted down to the ground, so I expect the Reeblechs to return in full force.
Will she do anything different from the Vegas shows? Nope.
Will she spin during Stand Back? Probably.
Will she hit the high note at the end of "Fall From Grace"? Nope. And I doubt it will be played.

I predict:

Enchanted/OTR/Dreams/Stop Draggin/Rhiannon/Stand Back/GDW/FFG/Edge/I need to know

yeah?? Well i counterpredict:

Gold Dust Woman
Dreams
Fall From Grace
Rhiannon
Stand Back
Leather And Lace (with Don)
Edge Of Seventeen
I Need To Know
The Highwayman

:wavey:

Uh, what he said.

Except my choice to be dropped: Dreams.

how many duets will Stevie and Don do? 2, Leather and Lace and either an Eagles song or a cover. I don't know why everyone thinks Highwayman will be in the set. Over half the audience will have no idea what they are singing.

how long will Stevie's set be? 1 hour.

what song will end the show? HAEWAFY

will "If Anyone Falls" be cut from the set? Yes, but will come back during the Gold Dust Tour

what about "Beauty And The Beast"? Yes and will not come back during Gold Dust Tour

Will Stevie wear the boots at all? No

Will she do anything different from the Vegas shows? Absolutely. She will cut a bunch of songs and will not have the massive smile.

Will she spin during Stand Back? Yes

Will she hit the high note at the end of "Fall From Grace"? No, but she will sing the song.

The only way I will get on a plane is if they do Reconsider Me. :laugh:

That is even less likely than Highwayman. :lol:

Hey, maybe Stevie will sing Sisters of the Moon because she said in that interview a couple months ago that she "might" this summer. :shrug: :lol:

How many duets will Stevie and Don do? 3 Leather and Lace, Highwayman and Stevie will sing on a Don song

how long will Stevie's set be? one hour and fifteen minutes

what song will end the show? Leather and Lace

will "If Anyone Falls" be cut from the set? I hope not.

what about "Beauty And The Beast"? I hope it stays in.

Will Stevie wear the boots at all? and if so, during which songs? I don't see her wearing boots :distress:

Will she do anything different from the Vegas shows? Highwayman and Leather and Lace

Will she spin during Stand Back? Yes

Will she hit the high note at the end of "Fall From Grace"? I doubt it.

Stevie was interviewed by a local radio staion when she was in Las Vegas and one of the djs was raving about HAEWAFY. Anyway, La Nicks said it would be back in the set this summer. So if she plays BatB, it probably won't be the closer, IMO.

Ugh!! I really do like HAEWAFY better than BATB--but I'm so tired of hearing it as the closer--I hope she does something different!!

Amy

Sure she did.. now, what else did she say during the interview?? :lol:

****, I didn't realize the first show is tommorrow...

My predictions? The same set as Vegas, minus "How Still My Love", "Beauty And The Beast", "If Anyone Falls", and "Sorcerer" plus "Leather and Lace" and HAEWAFY and frankenboks all night long! Yeah, I'm cynical. :lol:

How many duets will Stevie and Don do? 2. L&L and The Highwayman. I also predict Stevie will sing backup on Hotel California and Witch Woman.

how long will Stevie's set be? 1 hour, or less

what song will end the show? Reconsider Me would be nice, but I predict The Highwayman

will "If Anyone Falls" be cut from the set? Yes.

what about "Beauty And The Beast"? Likely

Will Stevie wear the boots at all? and if so, during which songs? No boots...though she may want to remind Don that she still has some flair left in her.

Will she do anything different from the Vegas shows? The Highwayman, Leather & Lace, Has Anyone Written....

Will she spin during Stand Back? Doesn't she almost always? I personally hope, even though I'm not going to the Nicks/Henley shows, that she finally cuts Stand Back. Give it a break.

Will she hit the high note at the end of "Fall From Grace"? :laugh:

I agree that we probably won't see boots :distress: But she has to leave Sorecerer in--it goes perfectly with Rhiannon--outfit and all :nod: And I just love that song darn it!!!

Amy

It's only a bore because she doesn't yell out STAAAANDIN, IN THE DOOOORWAAAAY

without that, the song is nothing...imho :nod:

I don't give a flying fig about her shoes! Who the hell is looking at her feet all night long anyways? If she is more comfortable doing her Standback twirls, etc. in sneakers, more power to her!

Need I remind everyone that she is pushing sixty!

I think she'll keep "If Anyone Falls" because the way she sings it now, it's not much of a challenge (i.e., she doesn't go for the high notes) and it's a familiar song that gets the crowd excited. :woohoo:

I fear "Beauty and the Beast" will be axed, because I don't think she'll feel comfortable exerting herself like that over the course of a whole tour. But I hope against hope it stays.

No way she'll hit the high note in "Fall from Grace" -- I don't think she did even once in Vegas, so no reason to think she will this summer either. :distress:

She'll spin during "Stand Back" most of the time, but may skip it on a couple dates when her hip is bothering her or she's in a bad mood.

"Leather & Lace" (definitely) and "Highwayman" (possibly) are in.

:nod:
AMEN

No way she'll hit the high note in "Fall from Grace" -- I don't think she did even once in Vegas, so no reason to think she will this summer either.



I was there and she hit it.

Which night? I guess I've only heard the Tuesday and Saturday shows.

No she didn't.. i heard all 4 nights.. nope!

I agree to a point, but the "go on, get OUT!!!" was really good. :nod:

RE: FFG

i would have sworn on my copies of the BN album that she took it high tuesday, then i got the boot... i haven't heard friday's show, but the other three nights homegirl went low. tuesday night it was very well disguised, but she went low.

RE: brian's questions

they'll do three duets; L&L, one of his songs, and a cover

she's cutting BATB - homegirl can't do that every night

she hasn't hit the high note on FFG any time recently, not going to in some ****ty shed

she's not wearing boots all summer long... :laugh:

how many duets will Stevie and Don do? 2

how long will Stevie's set be? 70 minutes

what song will end the show? HAEWAFY

will "If Anyone Falls" be cut from the set? No

what about "Beauty And The Beast? Yes

Will Stevie wear the boots at all? and if so, during which songs?Sometimes during the last couple of songs

Will she do anything different from the Vegas shows?I think BATB and How Still My Love Will be dropped

Will she spin during Stand Back? Of course

Will she hit the high note at the end of "Fall From Grace"? No. She'll get a little help from the girls on that one.

My set predictions..

Intro (Jesus PLZ not that ****ed up destinys child mix :sorry: )
Enchanted
Stop draggin' My Heart Around
Outside The Rain
Dreams
Rhiannon
Stand Back
Leather And Lace
If Anyone Falls
Gold Dust Woman
Edge Of 17
I Need To Know
The Highwayman

My prediction is close to yours, but I swear I will run through Golden Gate Park naked tomorrow if they do Highwayman.

Intro (it will be that destinys child mix, for a creative woman, Stevie is remarkably uncreative sometimes)
Enchanted--enter Stevie carrying a tamborine
"Welcome Everybody", (or maybe Welcome, Philadelphia), arms outstretched
Dreams
Stop draggin' My Heart Around
Rhiannon
Stand Back
Brings Henley on
Leather And Lace
Another duet, but not Highwayman or Reconsider Me
Don leaves
Gold Dust Woman
Band intros
Fall From Grace
Edge Of 17
------------
HAEWFY

**I think INTK will finally get dropped, but only for the shortened "Two Voices" set; will come back for "Gold Dust Tour", unfortunately. If Beauty and the Beast does come back this summer, it will be during Gold Dust, not the Henley shows.

I totally agree. Maybe we all need to get some therapy about it, but the boots are OVER.

Although I don't know why she doesn't wear some flats or something.

wow... i kinda agree with everything you said as a possibility, except for IKTK being dropped... remember, Stevie is performing in front of Don fans also.. she knows this, so she's gonna bring out all the rockin' songs she can... i'm expecting a top notch performance from her tonight :nod:

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!! :woohoo:

My opening night prediction :

Enchanted
Dreams (I think OTR will be dropped, because its an easy one to drop to shorten the set)
Stop Draggin My Heart Around
Rhiannon
Gold Dust Woman
---
Leather and Lace
Landslide
---
Stand Back
If Anyone Falls
FFG
Edge of 17
---
Highwayman
HAEWAFY


I also think she will duet in a couple of songs with him in his set, maybe one of his (Desperado???) and an odd duet like "it takes two baby" or something
