I really have mixed emotions about the awards show FFG rendition. While Stevie appeared a little nervous, and later admitted that she was totally nervous after seeing Warren Beatty (I think) in the audience, I still think a lot of the trouble was the microphone. There was definitely too much bass pouring out of that microphone, because if you listen to her thank the audience after the song, it's really low and REALLY muffled sounding. Then she goes to Sheryl's mic to talk about her award and it sounds much clearer. So while I think she had some butterflies, I blame a lot of it on the mic or the mixing of that mic or whatever it would be. Still a good performance, imo.

I also think it's important to note that many of us would NOT have complained if she had pulled out all the stops as she claimed she would...we were anxiously awaiting the rarities as the set list was being text messages in....
Also to add that all we know is the setlist, not too much about her PERFORMANCE...Which I'd love to hear some details about...and see some pics... To be honest with you I was just so glad to have Stevie solo back, I've missed those songs so much, I was thrilled to have EDGE OF 17...ahha...so I guess I'm not as picky as some...but it is definetely noteworthy that she didnt do what she claimed she would do in Vegas....and had she never claimed it to be a "show like nothing I've ever done" I don't think the expectations would have been as high... With that being said I'm glad she was doing well, reportedly looking great also, and wow to Beauty and The Beast...I've been hoping for that one to come back for years..along with If Anyone Falls...so.. Chris

For all who are complaining even a little about the setlist without having gone to the show(s), it might just be a bit of a case of sour grapes. Isn't it better to assume the trip to Vegas wasn't worth it when one couldn't or didn't take a chance on the experience which, although may have been a little routine, was still a unique and somewhat intimate performance? I still wish I had gone.

I agree with David. If I heard that Frontline had Stevie in shackles and was making her do the entire Rock A Little album cover to cover again under slave wages against her will, I'm afraid I'd have to go and see it. Sometimes, an artist just has to buck up and either give a few up to the managment or to the fans.
Did someone mention pre-tour interviews? I have news for some of you...Stevie exaggerates and sometimes outright LIES in interviews. I didn't believe for a minute that she'd be dragging anything substantial out of her vaults for 'the fans'.

From what I'm hearing her voice was rather a mess. How do you think she would sound on songs new to her as opposed to all the ones she's done a thousand times...
You all were probably better off with the same old, same old.

I think that to criticize her for the setlist is like trying to dry the sea. In my opinion she likes to put in some new songs but at the same time wants to feel safe and doesn't want to disappoint the large majority of the fans who probably love to listen to Dreams and Landslide for the eightieth time. I understand that this could make grumpy the most educated music conoisseurs elite among FM & Stevie fans but I'm sure they can survive.
 I'm glad the people who were there had a great time. Romy

quote from petep9000 " I have news for some of you...Stevie exaggerates and sometimes outright LIES in interviews. I didn't believe for a minute that she'd be dragging anything substantial out of her vaults for 'the fans". This has been the case for years but at least in the past she had the excuse of being under the influence of mind altering substances.What is her alibi now? I'm afraid I 'll have to go by the old saying "Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me" when deciding if I'll attend any future shows.If by a very slight chance she ever does do something spontaneous or adventerous again then i'll think about revising my opinion.

hiya, I've been lurking around (go on, hate me for it...*grin) and reading all this posts, and I'm not even sure this is the right thread to post it in but....
Everyone is totally entitled to their opinion. Here's mine..I'm 20 years old and have been loving Stevie and FM for about three years. I've never been able to see either perform live. I could never go to Vegas, I could never afford to travel so far for a concert. Hell, its costing as much as I have to go to Wolverhampton to see a tribute band. I think there are a lot of fans out there like me, too young to have seen Stevie much before, and if I did get to go and she didnt perform the classics, I'd die a million tiny deaths. Not because I'm a casual fan (whatever that means) but because there's a reason that they are the most famous, they're mostly the best. (Again, everyone is entitled to their opinion.) I know its easy to get sick of seeing the same things, especially since she hyped it up sooo much in the interviews, but there might not be many oppurtunities to see Stevie perform live anymore for a lot of people. I think theres an element of 'for the fans' in doing the best possible performances she is able to do, and I'm sure they were, of the songs the majority of people know and love. I'm not trying to say people shouldnt express dissatisfaction with the setlist, of course not. But I'd still see a kidney if I thought it'd get me to Vegas by saturday. Love, Nicki (ledgie lurker coming in out of the darkness)

i think you should all count yourselves lucky that you got the opportunity to see her, no one forced you to pay all that money. Just think how gutted you would feel if she announced she was no longer gonna tour beacause all the fans were bitching her songs!!!!! i can see how you would be disapointed, but give her a break.
