this is possibly a real option since she "had to learn it " since she is only doing a few shows and then a greatest hit tour with rod .

i would imagine she will do a condensed version of last year the same old songs and a few from in your dreams ,16 songs were way too much and I'm sure 14 songs are just as taxing on her ,

Diana Ross does this with her Supremes tunes in her set and it works out wonderfully. Old timers get a taste of the hits and there is more time for other stuff.
old timers are tired of these songs it's first timers , the overly obsessed with her fan and casual fans want to hear them

I understand why people want to hear the hits - a lot of the times, I do too. Especially when it's your first time seeing someone, etc.

But I'd much rather hear Fleetwood Mac hits at a Fleetwood Mac show, personally. Stevie's band is great and all, but the songs don't sound the same at her solo shows obviously. So I'd be fine with her condensing those to just a little taster of them if she has to have them in there, and then adding more of her SOLO hits into the solo set. Additionally, switch out all the songs that aren't hits for other songs that aren't hits (although, this wasn't as much of a problem on the IYD tour, as she did toss out a bunch of songs and replace them with IYD tracks).

So yeah, do a Fleetwood Mac medley, and then add in I Can't Wait, Enchanted, Talk to Me, Rooms on Fire, After The Glitter Fades, Sable on Blond (<3), I Sing For The Things, Sleeping Angel, etc, etc. Stuff like that.

Replace Love Is with The Highwayman (I know, I know... but I love this song and it'd be a change!) or something.

Just my opinion obviously. That said, I'd see Stevie live even if she just sat up there playing F/G on the piano and sang Dreams, Outside The Rain, How Still My Love, and Sable on Blond over and over on a constant loop.

I am alright with whatever she sings in her set I am like everyone else ditch the cover songs and just sing her catalog of amazing songs and she has many many gems that have not even touched the live set that we would love to hear.

I do to I want to hear the entire song not a big fan of medley of several songs its a tease and feel like your ripped off not getting the whole song. I say extend the set time to 6 hours I am in heaven.Stevie would be tired but it would be worth it.

Amen to all of this. And--please add "If You Were My Love," (I know it's technically a FM song), "Italian Summer," (Went to Positano last year because of this song!), and I'd love to hear anything really from Bella Donna and The Wild Heart.

With a medley, the snippet would be over right before she got to the good part. That would be very frustrating to hear. Michele

I agree with you Michele on this medleys of certain hits I wouldn't like, I need to hear the entire song no medley's. Especially Stevie's and Fleetwood Mac songs they deserve to be heard in there entirety.

someone should take her to see MADONNA * then she can see and hear that it's is possible to do hits , alternative/remixed versions . b-side/unreleased songs an no one s gong to walk out .. then fire her brother/ advisers and put together the best show of her career ..

* or Loretta Lynn who takes request from the audience or Trisha Yearwood who take online request of songs to add to individual shows

2012 Set List...

Bella Donna & The Wild Heart Complete

That would do fine for a set list. About a
1 and 1/2 hour show. Who would go to see
that?

Rooms On Fire charted only@ no. 16 (?) on the pop chart but I believe it went to no. 1 on the rock chart (or maybe its called album rock chart). And although that chart is not as substantial and won't get you as much exposure as the pop chart does, I think it gets you far more exposure than the AC or AAC charts that her singles have (briefly) appeared on in the last 15 years or so. I remember Long Way to Go getting considerable airplay on rock stations and making top 10 on the rock chart so it I was sure it would be the next single after Rooms On Fire. I was very surprised when 2 Kinds of Love was released as the 2nd single. It seemed like that just stopped OSOTM and any kind of momentum it had right in its tracks. Rooms wasnt top 10 pop, but it got played and was in heavy rotation on MTV for at least a short while. Long Way to Go could surely have made top 20 as well and helped make OSOTM seem more like a hit or helped more people remember it. After 2 kinds of love tanked ( I dont think that charted or got played anywhere) , Long Way to Go maybe couldve came back as a single but then along came Whole Lotta Trouble. I liked it, thought it was funky and different (so maybe it would stand out) for Stevie but by that point the whole album and any impact it might make was hopelessly lost. I dont think that song charted or got played anywhere either.
Whether you love or hate OSOTM, Im sure we all agree it could have made at least a little bigger splash than it did with better marketing/singles choices.

I wonder if Stevie's going to keep L&L in the setlist with help from Steve Real this time around.He did a wonderful job with it last year.
