Predictions: Stevie's Tusk/Mirage/Tango songs

[MacShadowsBall]

Moving on to the second half of Stevie's Rumours era songs.

Predict what songs FM will perform in 2013. Mutliple choice.

[MacShadowsBall]

Sara and Gypsy were fairly easy to pick. Although Gypsy doesn't really work well live, its my favorite Mac song and has been played on the most recent tours. I'd love to hear an acoustic version of it, like Stevie and Lindsey did back in '99 on a charity event, I think?

Sisters of the Moon has been done before live, so I think it stand a chance. Storms was just done last year. I don't see her Tango songs being done, at all. Straight Back/That's Alright probably not.

SOTM has not been performed in 30 years.I consider myself very lucky to have been at the Forum for the taping of those final Mirage tour shows and that Iconic performance of the song.I pray that is the final performance of it for all time.

Those if you that are on FB could start a FB campaign "Stevie please sing SOTM on the live 2013 tour".

Anyway I'll say she might do Sara or Gypsy or both.Plus Storms.

[Blueletter18]

Oh man, I WISH she would do Straight Back...

[PolishStevieFan]

I wish Stevie would perform "Sister of The Moon". It's just the best song of her from "Tusk" album.

I can understand your thinking - to a point. On the other hand, you might as well say they need to stop performing at all (because nothing they do now will ever match them in their heyday) or only do new songs where you have no past glories to compare it to.

Anyway, I bet they are going to give SOTM a shot since both Stevie and Mick have mentioned it.

Fans put it on Mick's radar 8 years ago and I'm not surprised about him, but for Stevie to mention it as she has really gets my hopes up.

I know Stevie doesn't feel this way, but for a rocker, I really don't think there is much of a risk in performing it. I think it's easier to get Beautiful Child or Storms wrong than this one, because all you have to bring is the atmosphere and attitude. Vocals are secondary and I'm not concerned about the band holding up its end.

Fingers crossed.

I thought both "Beautiful Child" and "Storms" were big gambles, since they are not hits and have a slow tempo which, if not done well, can really bring the pacing of a concert to a screeching halt. She pulled them off beautifully, but she really needs another rocker in the set anyway. That's why I always argue that "Stand Back" needs to be in the set....it's often her only moment to really let loose. Even SOTM isn't a particularly fast song, but it is a rocker, and adding another one can only be a good thing.

[MacShadowsBall]

Sara, Sisters of the Moon, and Gypsy move to the Ledge Prediction Setlist.

Congratulations to those 19 Ledgies who voted for Sisters of the Moon as it looks to be confirmed that the Mac will be doing the song!

why thank you dear!

hope i'm just as right about some of my other predictions and top wishes. (yeah right, in my dreams )

and just to point out - this thread was supposed to be a realistic predictions thread and SOTM came at only 3rd place, way after 2 other songs.

while SOTM steadily holds the first place in my unrealistic fan-wished deep cuts list!
