no deal, sorry.

but i'm glad you are with me on the other 3, especially WMYTYTO!

Yes and I also want Sara removed. And same with NGBA. SMAP or I guess I'd even settle for WATL would be perfect replacements

I think Stevie's vocal for the 2004-2009 Sara's were better but lindsey totally blew the guitar portions....I say this with love. His guitar parts on the 79' versions were beautiful...

i would go for that, easily - it would make not just my day but my season:

no to Sara and NGBA
yes to SOTM, Angel, WMYTYTO and WATL

This is a dumb question but what is WATL

Walk A Thin Line. You're not alone in wishing people would stop with all of the endless acronyms around here.

LOL... I stare at some of them for what feels like decades.

Thanks for clearing that up. I don't mind the acronyms but sometimes I'm wrecking my brain trying to figure out what song it is.
I've been a fan for 36 years, you'd think I should know by now, but no....

I wish I could add Storms to that list, but Stevie just couldn't make it work live, IMO. Stevie's voice just wasn't up for the task.

No Louie you are NOT alone in this... don't like Angel.. never have.

To me, the modern Sara fixes what made the original translate to stage so poorly. They fixed the pacing/progression of the song. To me, the older versions were just so slow & wandering. Utterly boring. But I think the modern versions are pretty fantastic. Plus, oddly enough, Stevie's current voice seems to work better for the song onstage, too.

Agree completely. I can remember before the 2004 tour started how any time setlist discussions could come up, inevitably, people would be begging for Sara to be unearthed. Now suddenly, it seems to have fallen out of favor for whatever reason. I actually enjoy the 04-09 Sara quite a bit and am surprised at the hostility Sara generates these days.

I like "Angel", but as a concert song, it does not have a climax musically, only vocally, and I don't think Stevie can muster the throaty screaming peak of "Go track a ghost through the fog, BABY!!!" Like she did in 1980 through 83'.
Whereas "Sisters Of The Moon" has that musical climax even if Stevie does not speak in tongues. I see SOTM evolving to stage in the 21st century much like GDW has. Undoubtably it will be more subdued but meanincing and atmospheric.

I agree with Sara being cut from the setlisy. I'm not a fan of it.
