Tom Vs Don
 

Hello Everyone,

Hope This Finds You All Well

I Was Wanting To Get Your Thoughts On Stevie And Tom Performances Against Stevie And Don Performances

Stevie's songs with Tom are way more 'rockin'. I like her duets with Tom more too.

And since I've never talked to you before, welcome to the boards! :D :wavey:

For me there's absolutely no comparison what so ever. Tom is a hundred times more awesome than Don. Period. Don is so boring. Most of his songs are pleasant enough but rather dull whereas Tom's songs rock and kick ass plus Tom seems to have more of a sense of humor.

I think Stevie just has more musical chemistry with Petty although I did love her duets with Henley on New York Minute and Hotel California.Remember the different ways that she became involved with both men too.Henley pursued her romantically and she pursued Petty musically.

I think she was way more alive with tom, and that there was a better atmosphere with him.

No question Tom is a better showman. He plays to the crowd and really seems to enjoy himself, which helps the energy level of the crowd. Stevie, as a result, seems to have much more fun. I personally had more fun and enjoyed the entire show much more with Tom. JMO

Def..Tom Petty!

I'm afraid I have no real opinion on either of them and therefore have nothing to add to this conversation.
Apart from saying that I love the fairy pic!! :nod: Is it your own?

Welcome to you.:cool:

They're both great songwriters in different ways, though Tom is more prolific and has a style that is more fun. Stevie is better to see with Tom, for my money. Don is dull live, in terms of activity. No arguing with his pitch perfect singing and well preserved voice, but he is a lug onstage. Tom is a big old party, and I would prefer him as a drinking buddy.

same as sparky.

Tom brings out the rockin woodstockin bitch in us all.

Being a fan of the Eagles , it was a dream come true for me...to see both of my favorite singers in the same concert. I think that the Henley Nicks Tour, is more dear to me because it was like two concerts in one...and you couldnt beat the price for a three hour concert....

As for the Nicks/Petty Concerts, Would have love to have gone...as I really just discovered Petty...Stevie Was much more at ease. Don is a perfectionist, and I think that Stevie was too much on edge and was being more professional, but with Petty it was much more of a easy going kind of a concert...so i guess its more or less a tie...

IMO

I'm not a Tom fan
 

And seeing him on Tuesday didn't really change my mind.
I think he puts on a great show for his fans but his music doesn't do much for me.
Having said that--and probably because of that--I absolutely am more of a Stevie-Don person. Stevie was singing mostly her songs with Don (with a few notable exceptions--and those exceptions were pretty darned good choices). So, if the "wow" factor is not there with Don as a performer, the beauty of the words and music is just more powerful in this combo, in my opinion.
But, I'm not a big time rock lover. I love more of the slower, prettier stuff and that could explain it all.
Of course, I will play totally dirty now and say I don't much care about the fun factor of performing for the performer...there is nothing like Stevie with the Mac;-)

Well, there ya go. It doesn't appear to me that Stevie is having much fun at all when she is with FM onstage. Other than during SB, that is. And knowing that the Lindsey drama is 80% theatre anyway, I prefer her on her own or with other people.

I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!
