Stevie should sing Everywhere on her upcoming tour.
 

Stevie just announced 2023 tour dates. I think it would be very fitting if she sings Everywhere on this tour and dedicates it to Christine. Stevie added Free Fallin’ to her set list to honor Tom Petty when he died. Everywhere would be a great song for Stevie to sing because it’s one of Christine’s signature songs and it recently had a big spike in popularity because of that Chevy Commercial.

I really hope Stevie adds one of Christine’s songs to the set list and gives a dedication speech to Christine on this tour.

Since it is a solo tour I think that performing one of Christine's solo hits would be appropriate . She could sing Love Will Show Us How and as an homage to Christine she could act out the video for that song which culminates with a large alien spaceship hovering overhead and then crashing to the stage.

god, even I'd buy a ticket to see THAT.

In all seriousness though, she could just do Think About It since it's one of her solo songs and was written for Chris. Her current voice is mostly grating on her own songs, let's not tarnish one of Christine's

She couldn't even come close to singing that song.

Dear God, no.

I'd be fine with "Don't Stop." Everyone knows the words and I'm already used to her singing it.

Maybe she can do it in her fake Christine voice with her brilliant British accent.

Think About It would be nice, and it’s actually one of my favorite songs, but it makes sense for Stevie to sing Don’t Stop as a tribute for so many reasons- it’s well known; Christine wrote it; it’s upbeat so as a tribute it’s actually joyous; and it’s a perfect showcase for Billy Joel to join her on it.

There’s a video of Stevie and her solo band performing Don’t Stop on YouTube, and she does a surprisingly great job, so her voice won’t tarnish it.

I say yes if Stevie lets her back up singers take all the high notes and Stevie does her Tango-esque "I wannnnaaa beeee with Yooooou" over and over and ruins the song again.

Game on.

I vote Think About It. She wrote it for her around Rumours' era... Dedicated it to her on her solo album. Who doesn't love the velvet of the morning.

Paul sang Something in his 2011 tour as a homage to George, so it is not uncommon for someone to sing a song of his late friend. But considering how differente their voices are, and how is Stevie's voice nowadays, I don't see a Christine song that fits well on Stevie. Though that doesn't really matter if the point is a true tribute.

That's why it would be perfect for her to break out of her routine and do "Think About It".

Lol I liked when Stevie sang that “I wanna be with youuuu” on the chorus on the Tango tour and the 1990 tour.

But if Stevie were to sing Everyone on her upcoming tour I think she should just sing the “Iiiiiiiiii….Iiiiiii… Iiiiii wanna be with you everywhere” along with the backup singers like they did on The Dance.

And yes Think About it would be good also because it’s about Christine, but I think Everywhere would be more fitting because it’s a more well known song. Don’t Stop would be good too. But I think Everywhere would be better.

Or — and here’s an idea — she could write a new song about the death of her best friend in the world …

Just sayin’…

Prince? Joe Walsh? Karen? Christine? Sara? Robin?

John Lewis and MLK and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

She didn't respect MLK Jr enough to call him Reverend Doctor MLK

President Nicks

Better about the life of her dearest friend.

Don’t forget Queen Elizabeth!

:lol: Queen Elizabeth helped write Stand Back.

She could always revive the terrible version of Say You Love Me which she and LB did on the 2009 tour.

Actually no.

Don’t.

Ever. ;)

"Landslide" is about Queen Elizabeth. She realizes that now.

That's the thing about the three Rumours-era writers: their songs sound good only when the original writer(s) is singing them. Stevie couldn't sing "Everywhere" and more than Christine could sing "Gypsy," etc. The only songs that sounded good by other members were: Lindsey-Stevie-Christine's "Station Man"; Lindsey's "Oh Well"; Bob-Christine's "Loved Another Woman"; Christine's "Jumping at Shadows"...

Thinking back to the live performances of LOVE IS and LANDSLIDE, I think Stevie would sing a beautiful rendition of THE WAY I FEEL. It would have Steviefied phrasing and dynamics, yes, but it would work for me. And the idea of pulling out a song that is less commercialized is nice.

She could do “Get Like You Used To Be” since it’s a blues song and open to interpretation.

It was written by Santana.

You win the comment game with this one.

How dare you forget Christine’s Rhiannon? “Dreams unwind a lalala etcetera etcetera”

I’d be shocked if she didn’t do Don’t Stop in her encore nightly on this tour. And it’s a perfect fit for Billy Joel to join in on for those dates.

She should stay far the hell away from a song like Everywhere. I can’t imagine her voice singing the entire song. That said, it would be right in her wheelhouse to try and tap into the Everywhere fame going on recently with the Chevy commercial and use it as a tribute to Chris.

Stevie should not cover any of Christine’s songs IMO. She can dedicate Landslide to her.

I totally agree. Dedicate the whole show/tour to Christine, but she shouldn't touch her songs. She doesn't have the voice for them.

I agree. I think we are in the silent minority.
I am not sure why so many expect artists to constantly wear their emotions and feelings on their sleeves. Stevie dedicates Landslide to someone every night. That is heartfelt. Stopping concerts and big presentations lose their sincerity IMHO. Do we really need Stevie to prove her love and her loss for Chris every night over and over?
But I realize I am in the minority.

I don’t know that you’re in the minority, it seems like a number of folks agree with you.

As I read your comment, I imagined being at one of Stevie’s upcoming shows, and imagined her band performing Don’t Stop, and could see the audience singing along in a joyous manner, and then maybe as they’re leaving the venue saying something about how great Christine was. I figure being a Stevie solo show, there may be some folks who didn’t know Christine wrote Don’t Stop, and seeing pictures of Christine during the song will expose her to them.

I guess I would say no, we don’t need Stevie to prove her love for Christine every night over and over, but I see it as she’s reminding the audience of how great Christine was, over and over.

Well she may have boxed herself in with these show stopping tributes because if she does not do one, people will flame her and accuse her of not caring about Christine which is ridiculous. And if you do perform one of her songs, do a song that introduces her audience to Chris's work. Performing one of Chris's greatest hits is chasing the shiny object and so predictable. However be careful what you wish for. Chris's voice is the complete opposite of Stevie's. Any song Stevie will do would really alter the sound which is going to attract criticism. I say dedicate Landside or HAWAFY to Chris, with some photos and move on.

Again, all she has to do is step into the velvet of the morning, and let herself lay back in her dreams. :nod:

Oh she has to prove it. Just like she had to lecture entire arenas post-encore about her return via the dreamcatcher speech. But sure, it's all about Chris right? hahaha

Not to go off topic here...I'm still trying to comprehend the situation. You've got Chris and John sitting on an amp together, having full on conversations with each other because somebody in the band insists on telling a 10+ minute story before a song starts. Lindsey is standing in the dark waiting or interacting with fans in the front. Literally the entire band is so over it, almost none of them have any interest in attempting to be polite. As the band member holding court for ten minutes you would think that they would be able to read the room and figure out nobody is enjoying this. Then you have the gaul to get irritated (at times) if everyone on stage isn't intently listening to your story time when it's show #53 of a tour. It's mind boggling.

In Miami 2015 during Stevie's Gypsy story she was telling how she was on the road with CCR and the car broke down and Lindsey made his guitar or something sound like a car horn honking during her speech. She stopped mid sentence, turned to Lindsey and asked "Did you do that? Why did you do that? Then she turned to the audience and asked "Am I going on too long? She stopped telling the story. She was furious and they started the song. At the end of the concert, Stevie was still pissed off. She did not come out for her usual banter about Chris.
Long story short, absolutely to your suspicion. Clearly Lindsey had enough of the long rambling story.

1968! San francissssscoooo! The velvet underground! Janis joplin! Jimi hendrix!!!! San francissssco!
