Hats off to Loretta but I doubt Stevie could as she barely could when she was young.
When I went to see Aerosmith last year it was a great show, Steven Tyler sounded good and screamed at the top of his lungs then they had to cut short five songs before the end because he started to feel the after effects.

if she can't perform but is willing to charge top dollar for 10 songs and a mediocre performance maybe it's time to quit , or do an oldies package tour opening with what's left of STYX and Peter Frampton

I agree that concert tickets' prices are too high but there are a lot of aging singers that still can perform reducing the load and both they and their audiences enjoy it. Aging and not being able to do things as like before are normal and natural facts, I don't share the point of view for which elder artist must be cast aside just because they're too old to perform like during their youth. I'd be happy to ever see a Stevie concert at all in my life.

a tour, if true. A small venue, but I'd say it's enchanted.

The question is, which character Stevie would play. She was once Alice, but no longer.

If you are too old to sing on stage and tour then hang it up. I don't think Stevie would ever say that. She is actually pretty young compared to the other aging super groups touring. Stevie has always expressed interest in touring. I think she will be doing it for many more years. Maybe not long tours but I bet she has at least 2 solo tours to do.

*****Christine talking*****
Stevie I am 71 and touring and playing every night. I will call you up since no one knows your cell number and tell you to get a trainer and work out every day. You will be in shape to tour then.


give her a taste of her own medicine

Imagine if Stevie went onstage and performed one giant, long medley which covered every single song from her released albums in the exact order they appear on their perspective records.

During a Q&A after an IYD screening, she mentioned a desire to sing a medley of each of her albums' title tracks. And then she sang very short, stripped down versions of BD, WH, and RAL. Quite lovely.

I remember that. The only negative side to my idea would be the thought of her NOT singing my favorite lyrics from each song.

I think medlies are horrible. I think I'd rather not have a song covered at all, than to just get a snippet of it. Now, if one segues into another like OTR and Dreams, that's great.

I tend to agree. It's inevitably a favorite (or worse, several favorites) that get the medley treatment, and you're left feeling like you were cheated out of something.

She'd have made an interesting Snow Queen.
Sounds like a pun but it's not this time. Not
that I had a problem with Elizabeth Mitchell.
Or come to think of it, with any of the healthy
ladies from Storybrooke.

If Lana would just get rid of Ginnifer I'd be happy.
And with the author being found, Stevie could
easily find her way out of Wonderland.

Of course I'd never watch such a show. Really.

As far as a medley of songs... Stevie don't do it!

Medleys .I remember this was mentioned before on the Ledge .Thats one thing Stevie and FM does not do in their shows.I rather hear a medley of tunes then left out tunes in a setlist. I see they are popular with some country artists and pop artists and would love to see Stevie and FM to bring them in.

They did once do a medley of Rhiannon-Go your own way-Don't stop at the Grammys but it left me wanting for more.
