[QUOTE=Johnny Stew]I never want to be the one to dash someone's dreams, but I doubt that will ever happen.
She didn't do it in her younger days, she's certainly not going to do it now.
Besides, and I've said this before, it's only the absolute diehard fans who are impressed by ever changing setlists. The majority of the people who buy the tickets, only want to hear the songs they're familiar with via radio play, and they grumble if they don't get to hear them.
Look how many reviews of this current tour have mentioned the folks who take a bathroom break during "Circle Dance" and "Fall From Grace," or just sit there in the audience, acting disinterested.
Personally, I'd still rather she retire from the road completely, and focus solely on recording. Maybe have a new album out once a year, like Petty's talking about doing.[/QUOTE]
Im sorry but I must say that idea SUCKS to me of course. I love going to a live show. Theres os much build up on the boards and then when you get there and see the mic you get so thrilled. All the people and then she walks out and its unreal. I love to see how Stevie takes a song then converts it to stage. I started to love alice because I heard it live and if I never heard that then I don't think it would be my favorite song. Do I like to see her out out new albums yes, do I want her to stop touring no. She won't record another solo album then tour, shes too old. A MAc farewell tour then thats it IMO.
