a tour in support of the new record...
Stevie's fans have had this opportunity stolen from them...
Stevie's fans have waited as long time for
her to do something like this and now it (24 Karat Gold) is going to get
inadequate & limited promotion and NO TOUR!
This isn't about Stevie turning FM into a Stevie Nicks concert it's about compromise...
Stevie made a huge compromise when she told the band that she would tour with
FM instead of(compromise ) a solo tour in support of her new
record...
Stevie very easily could have told the band "You know what everyone
knows I have a contract and need to record an album for WB so I absolutely
have to get the album done and then I'm going to do a tour for it and once
I'm done with that we can do FM" but that's not what she did Stevie
compromised so FM could have their "Reunion Tour" sooner rather than later...
Since Stevie went way out of her way so this reunion tour could happen and
gave up (compromise) a promotional tour for 24K just so the
FM fans could have what they have been waiting for is it to much to ask
that she be able to sing 1 or 2 of her new songs?
Mick, Lindsey and Christine all get to showcase their talents with a "solo"
why can't Stevie's little solo portion of the show be a song or two from her
new album?

Excellent post BlueDenim,but I have mixed feelings about this whole FM vs.Stevie tour.I think Stevie was under alot of pressure from both sides,and throw in her business woman self.I mean,she is the first one to say that FM should wait about 3 years between tours because if they
just did a tour,no one would really miss them yet.However,she knows that she will capitalize much more on a FM tour due to the anticipation of Chris's return.I guess I feel this way because of her comments about how unhappy she was when "In Your Dreams" sold (in her eyes and mind) so little.In a nutshell I'm thinking that Stevie would much rather be touring to promote "24 Karat" but she
knows a FM tour will satisfy her more financially.I know we all love her and see her as a rock queen,but she really is a savvy business woman too.
