Favourite/Least fav Stevie tour...
 

I have only ever seen the mac live. I was wondering what is everyones fav/worst Stevie solo tour? I love my Bella Donns tour video and have heard stuff from OSOTM tour and Whole Lotta Trouble tour...they were not so great. I have also seen the Red Rocks video...very nasal but she was on drugs so we'll let her off.

I posted a similar thread, but it was only a least fav thread. I was born in '89, so my parents said they took me to itmespace, but i don't remember it. I remember SA on up, and ive seen many boots. I think her best tour was either Wild Heart, or Gold Dust. The worst was definitely Whole Lotta Trouble (Timespace.) She was so zonked out, and her wardrobe and hair were so horrendous and un-stevie-ish.

Oh rite. I was born in '90. I Saw the mac on the dance tour and SYW tour.

I missed the dance tour.

it was really good. Very different from what you see in the dance DVD

from what i can tell, the dance seems to be shot at a pretty small venue, cosidering the places that the mac usually plays.

What you see on the DVD and hear on the CD was completely set up for the purpose of releasing the DVD and CD. The tour was much more like what we saw on the SYW tour. Micks drums were heavier and Lindsey's guitars were more like the Lindsey we know.

Im so sick of people hating on my precious OSOTM tour - what about the cool use of keyboards people!!! :laugh:

I have to say..OSOTM was the worst for me..and I was there for all of them!
Street Angel was a close second......

I noe:wavey: i luv the eighties synth/keyboard sound, AND, WLT was KICK-ASS!

Disliked the most:
2001
1991
1989

Liked the most:
1983
1986
1981
1994

:shocked: but what about the keyboards!! :laugh:

I'm talking health/voice.
Key boards support - they cannot replace..:lol:

Im just kidding around - I just love taking the micky out of the OSOTM tour for its over-use of keyboards :laugh:

I do LOVE the OSOTM tour though - it has some of my favourite versions of GDW ever!

David, what did you dislike about the TISL tour? I wasn't a fan then, and I haven't heard any boots from it, so I'm curious.

It was a different time.
That sound was played by the time OSOTM was released so I think it backfired.

I know that - its so very 80s huh :laugh:

I love the set list though - probably my favourite because it included my precious "Alice"

I'll upload a few 4 you. ˆactually REALLY liked tisl. it was after her sickness and 9.11 where it was a bit less inspired. but otherwise else, most of it wass awesome!
EDIT- yousendit is not working. ill try later when it is.

I have heard some boots of OSOTM and Whole Lotta Trouble tour...I wasn't impressed.

Thanks so much!

Can I just ask why - I mean. I just don't get all the negativity towards this tour :shrug:

I have the show live at the summit in houston, and the vocals are great. I'll upload stand back for u, ull c wat i mean.

I have the Chicago show, and the vocals r very foggy and slightly sharp of key.. I ould upload one of those, ull c wat i mean.

I have most of the bootlegs of this show - and I have never seen a bad thing about them. GDW from the Rotterdam, Netherlands show is amazing - so mystical...

it just stunk..;)

Thanks! I really like it. I wish she had done POTU on the GD Tour.

Do u have Edge? The beggining to mid-end, is sharp of key. I'll upload.

I think the shows were logy & exhausting. I thought the band was thudding & literalminded & had no character. They sounded like a thousand other bands with that blandly professional sound, like the bands that play for Sheryl Crow & Billy Joel & Elton John & Sarah McWhatsit. It's a really phony sound & a turnoff for me. I thought Stevie was dressed like the Bar Mitzvah boy's mother at the synagogue, with those sleeves that go halfway down her lower arms, like something middleaged women would wear to worship---except for those shoes & enough has been written about them so no need to repeat it here. Stevie sang without much color or life, & the whole sound just took on a droning quality to me. No color, no personal stamp, & certainly nothing visionary. It was all just "professional" in the bad sense.

She did some stuff on TV that year, like Blockbuster & Rosie, which I really liked. I especially liked her hair & the sound of her speaking voice on Rosie. I was looking forward to seeing & hearing those elements at the concerts, but they weren't there.

I think that statement is a bit more accurate for the mirror tour. esp. how they danced the cha-cha at the beginning of the way 2 elctronified intro to edge. but i think they were good on the tisl tour, imo.

Awful human being ;) :laugh:

Interesting. Sometimes I'm shocked at what some people dislike around here, but then I remember that I'm learning my FM history from 2005-back whereas many around here have followed it for decades. LIB, for instance, takes a lot of heat around here, but it holds a special place in my mind because it was the first FM performance I ever saw. Now that I've become more versed in boots of past tours, I can understand how it would be a letdown (the exclusion of "Oh Well" is pretty disappointing in itself).

Did you go to any of the 2005 shows?

I saw her at Universal in L.A. - She was so tired and seemed so uptight..

I mean really stunk....:D

i saw her in cleveland. she was fantastic. it think towards the end of the tour, there were more problems. her dad's illness esp. it drained a lot of energy from her.

:laugh: Stop it! Cant you hear the great keyboards?

LMAO:laugh: :laugh: :lol: :lol: well, at least she gave rhiannon a rest on that tour.:)

We were at the same show!
