Contest: Guess Stevie's "Friends" & Setlist for Soundstage
 

Hey everybody, so I am so very excited to see Stevie next Thursday night at her PBS Soundstage taping!!

I am holding a contest - I don't have many disposable Stevie souveniers that you guys don't already have when it comes to prizes (Vintage Rolling Stones magazines, live cds, bootleg dvds, etc.) so I think I'll offer a phone call to the winner following the show (would be the next day as I'm traveling to make the show) if they'd like. I can also share some pictures/videos that I have taken in my other two experiences in 1st row for Stevie this past summer (Detroit & London), if they'd like. I will be posting a review on here for everybody, though.

The contest is simple (yet challenging):

Post what Stevie's setlist will be for her Soundstage taping as well as who her "friends" will be onstage. If there is a tie, I'll go by the order of the setlist.

This should be fun to read :-) I do encourage comments about other's postings, too :-)

Wow
 

This will be so much fun to guess the same old songs, and same old friends she drags out....can't wait to read everyone's comments!!!

We all know about Stevie's famous "Stevie Nicks & Friends" shows (AHI shows for gosh sakes!)....I'm not guessing a setlist/friends list as I can't call myself ;-) however I will provide my personal analysis on what may go down....

I'm guessing she'll at least bring out Mick considering they are hooking up soon for their show at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. I would not be surprised if Mick came out for Sara, considering she played that at Rosemont Theatre.

Perhaps Lindsey will be there considering Stevie was there for his Soundstage performance a few years ago? The thing is this is a Stevie solo performance celebrating her solo career - so I'm having a tough time believing she will roll out multiple Fleetwood Mac guests....although Christine would be amazing! But there is absolutely no way she'll be there, too many other guests that make sense for this "solo career" celebration (Crystal Visions).

I would guess either Vanessa Carlton (who has a new song with Stevie) or Sheryl Crow (Sorcerer) will be there. I think it would be really cool if Lindsey came out to play Sorcerer with Stevie considering they performed it in the Buckingham Nicks days :-)

Then I would guess that Mr. Tom Petty may very well be there despite the whirlwind around him with the new DVD. Considering she played with him for free at several of his shows last year, I would expect he'd return the favor by doing either Stop Dragging My Heart Around and I Need to Know with her.

I'm pretty sure Henley will not be there as The Eagles & Dixie Chicks are tied up out in Los Angeles right now for a few shows....although the night she has Soundstage they are not playing....

I just can't see Chris Issak being at Soundstage. Many people have guessed him but I say "no way." She didn't incorporate him into any songs this past tour besides a once or twice performance of Rock & Roll. But even Vanessa Carlton helped out in London on Rock & Roll....as did Kid Rock in Detroit. But I don't think she'll be doing Rock & Roll at Soundstage (although she played it at the "test show" in Rosemont). If she does play it, she'll definitely bring out somebody to help her.

Well, Stevie's set will probably be the one from Friday night. Maybe we should guess what her friends will be playing. :shrug:

My prediction is as follows:

-The setlist will be the same as Rosemont, minus one song. My hunch is that "How Still My Love" will be dropped.

-Vanessa Carlton's "The One" will be added.

-Guests will be: Mick Fleetwood, Dave Matthews, Vanessa Carlton and one more. I am tempted to say Tom Petty, but he's a bit of a jerk when it comes to helping Stevie out. :sorry: I mean, she's there for him at the drop of a hat, but he doesn't seem too keen on returning the favor for her projects. It's most definitely not Lindsey! Sheryl Crow seems to be out of the picture as well. It's none of the Eagles. Billy Corgan is on tour. Courtney Love is too much of a car wreck. I was thinking maybe Robert Plant... but he's probably rehearsing with Led Zeppelin. Therefore, my guess is Chris Isaak.

I would guess Dave Matthews.... Maybe thats why she sang Crash Into Me last night! OMG I would die..... 2 of my idols on stage... O Jesus

This is exciting!! I will predict that she is going to do the same set list as the Rosemont show, and the Guest's will be: Mick, Vanessa Carlton, Tom Petty, Dave Matthews, and Lindsey. I'm not sold 100% on the Lindsey idea, as from what I gather, they haven't been the closest lately, but I'm going with my gut feelings. I think she may change up the order of the songs a bit, but I do feel they will be the same songs, basically! That is going to ROCK! I'll send you my phone number for the call! LOLOLOLOL :p:p

I don't think there will be any 'special guests' at all; I think she considers the people on the stage her 'friends,' as she has been speaking of them as friends who have been with her through much of her professional life (Waddy, Carlos, Sharon, Lori, etc). Maybe there's a slim chance Vanessa will do one solo with her since the PR campaign is on for that new album. People at the show last night have said she wanted to test the songs on them. I think we will see those songs on the DVD, minus CRASH, as some people said she was shaky on it. I think maybe she'll DO IT for the show, but cut it out on the released tape.

Alright y'all, tomorrow I'm off for Chicago to see Stevie's Soundstage performance on Thursday :-)

I can't wait, I can't wait - I CAN'T WAIT!

I'll be sure to let you guys know how it goes :-)

^^really? hey, what will you be wearing? I'm going to be there and maybe we can meet up. PM me for details.

It was my understanding that last Friday's show will be replicated for Soundstage. There were no guests on Friday. But, who knows, after all this is billed ".... & Friends". I'll have to wait and see. Only 2 more days!!!:thumbsup:

I have a hunch that Stevie's Friends will consist of Dave Matthews, Vanessa Carlton, The Fray, Keyshia Cole, & Gervase de Peyer.

My guess is friends will include Smilin' Joe Dirt, Wayne Newton & whatever is left of Right Said Fred.
Soundstage will mark a crucial point for Stevie's career when she unveils the theme song for the new Geico Caveman sitcom.










:wavey:





All joking aside, I don't think any people will show...I think Stevie really wants this to be about Stevie, and that's not a negative, just my thought on where she is at right now. She's had enough of other people's spotlight for a time, and I think she'll want this to be her catalog. ALTHOUGH, I do think she'll add this Crash song, that imo is just absurd.

Meant to add as well congrats on being able to go, and I do sincerley hope we don't have to win to know what went down. :xoxo:

I'll go way out on a limb and predict guest star Bette Midler, as Bette would probably love for MizStevie to appear at her Hoolaween thing again this year; and even if Stevie doesn't appear for Bette, she has donated her Rhiannon print so maybe Bette will be ever so grateful and fly to Chicago.
I think Bette and Stevie are privately supporting each others attempts to get nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Fall of Fame and have gotten friendly. As Stevie has her band together and rehearsed right now, it might make the Hoolaween gig even a bit more likely, and Bette has been in rehearsals already for her Vegas shows early next year so she'd probably enjoy the exposure on Soundstage which would be airing on tv early next year.
The song? Oh, the encore of 'Rock and Roll' followed by a duet of 'The Rose' to close the show rather than 'Beauty and The Beast' which after all, can be seen on the RedRocks dvd.
Vanessa Carlton could likely show up, and have 'The One' be a part of the dvd, bringing the grand total of songs to 18 or 19, which would help sell the thing.
Mick Fleetwood seems a good bet(te) for showing up, but i'm not at ALL feeling Henley, Bucky or Petty...

My guess: Vanessa Carlton and Mick Fleetwood and that's it.
