Tonight's New Orleans Show Set List Surprise
 

According to NicksLive on twitter, Stevie added 'New Orleans' to the set list for
tonight's show!

Is that in addition to the 16 songs performed in Oklahoma? Was anything dropped? Interesting choice...can't wait for the Estero show.

I'm shocked to hear this. It must have been thrilling. When someone suggested it I thought, "No way. She doesn't add Illume for NY. She won't add New Orleans tonight," but she's full of surprises. A friend told me that Stevie was amazing.

He said two women tried to rush the stage during Gladys' set and they had to be taken out, but the rest of the night went smoothly.

It was incredible! New Orleans song was so moving! Details later when we get home!

Whoot! I am going to cry if nobody got this on video.

I didn't get video, but I got audio. I'll post it if nobody got anything better.

New Orleans was wonderful.
She missed a couple of lyrics, though, so at the end she said, "It wasn't perfect! It will get better!" So I think there's a good chance she'll play it at the Florida shows.
Very emotional performance. She had to collect herself for a while.

It could lose a couple of lyrics. lol

That sounded so good that it almost brought me to tears. This song has always been my favorite track from IYD.
Thank you to Nickslive for the heads up on where to locate this video.

I think it sounded amazing, especially considering it was the first time she performed it live! Actually I would say it's her best live performance of the new songs so far! Now, I may be biased because New Orleans is actually my favorite song off of the album. I'm so happy she finally performed it, especially IN New Orleans! I love when the crowd erupts the first time she says "and go down Bourbon Street"

thanks so much for posting

Nancy, could you please post the audio. My youtube to MP3 downloader doesn't seem to be working for me anymore.

So excited to hear this! New Orleans is one of my favorites from IYD.

very nice! :thumbsup:

good for Stevie, good for Neale, and happy for all of you who were there to hear it! hope she keeps it in the set.

Corny as it is, I got chills watching/listening to this!

Wow- THAT was special. It came off great live. As far as Stevie messing up a couple lyrics, I think it's because whe writes SO much, so many poems, that they kind of all blend in together for her sometimes - especially since she tends to use a lot of the same words in her poetry.

Stevie - COME TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR SOMETHING - PLEASE!!

Absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks for posting!
I needed that today.

She says she was waiting to perform it for them. Awww.

Michele

Finally! Yay! :blob2:

I agree. She's relaxed, confident and her voice sounds great. She clearly loves this song. Good job Stevie!

I second this entire post, except it did bring me to tears. :nod:

Nice, Elle! :)

New Orleans struck me as such a mature song and it's sorta classic Stevie Nicks. Has a great ending and I love that she mentions Anne Rice. She really captures the sentiment people feel when they think of New Orleans.

One word - amazing!

That sounded AMAZING!!!! Sure she may have flubbed one or two lines but otherwise the song went off without a hitch. Stevie sounded strong and exultant! Chills.:thumbsup:
Stevie needs to keep this in her set from here on, "New Orleans" is such a winsome and uplifting song, I really think this could have/should have been the 1st single off IYD too.

Now, if Stevie could find it in her heart to perform WSS ,"Italian Summer" & "You May Be The One" live then I can die a happy man.;)

you are absolutely right, she needs to switch it up with those songs, these could be her last solo concerts

I love this song so much, so thrilled to see this live video clip, thanks for posting:thumbsup:
I was hoping & had a feeling Stevie would sing it live for the New Orleans audience.. I hope it stays in her setlist from here on,
Awesome:angel::thumbsup:, going back for another listen:D

That was so awesome. What a surprise for those folks. I hope it helps sell records down there too!

An astute choice to include "New Orleans" and a superb, heart-felt performance from Stevie. Now all she needs to do is drop that bloody awful, cringe-worthy "Soldier's Angel"!
Since half the album was performed in concert last year, I'd really like to see Stevie now perform the other half. It seems the logical thing to do if she truly believes in the album as a whole.
PS Let's hope she does "New Orleans" on a tv show or two...

Sure - here's the audio I recorded:

Where was this in the set list?

Beautiful. Thanks for posting!

I couldn't agree more, I think New Orleans has promising hit potential with the effortless sounding falsettos it recalls our Stevie of yesteryear. Probably too late to release another single, but someone at the record co, really missed the boat on this tune. Great song that translates amazingly well to the stage.

Wow.Thank you.I wish she would of done this tune then a covers at last july's tour.

I'd love to see her do this more - and she did seem to imply that she'd be doing it again, so...


Hmm - I don't know why the MP3 I posted is so low volume. It doesn't sound that way on the original. I'll try and re-transfer it tonight.

Stevie is so amazing and so confounding. She adds "New Orleans" to the set list at the tail end of her tour! It was such a great performance. Within the limits of her vocal range, she is so clear, strong and confident. She's a pro when it comes to delivery.

Though appreciative that we got another live song from In Your Dreams, I would have loved if she performed the entire album. In particular, Wide Sargasso Sea, You May Be The One, and Italian Summer. I'm sure those songs could have the same stunning impact New Orleans had. I'm glad the audience gave her such an enthusiastic response. Also, I wish she never dropped the title track. How many times was In Your Dreams performed before it was dropped?

Thanks for your efforts!

New Orleans is one of my least favorite songs on IYD but gotta say it sounded great live!
