Your dream opening song

[ryan8472]

I was just wondering about using Stand Back as an opener. It has potential, I think, with a video/audio intro a la what she does now, morphing into Stand Back (like the way the studio version starts.) And NO drum solo. Just a weird idea...

I haven't seen this tour yet, but in the past the first songs have been pretty stoic. I'd rather see SB later in the set where she's at least going to be into it.
But if she did open with SB, I think the drum solo would be great for building suspense.

"Stand Back" is her premiere uptempo song she does live... to open with it, would kind of suck alot of the anticipation from the rest of the show... she needs a more balanced set....

However, i always thought "Stand Back" would be a great encore right after "Edge"... she did it like that once on TOSOTM tour and never again.... she should try doing it again...

Nothing Ever Changes appeared in my dream last night but I woke up with Long Way to Go in my head (they don't sound too much alike but are both upbeat, rocker songs I guess?). I thought everyone would really like to know this. In the dream I was back in TX (where I grew up) in High School (tragic thought) and I saw NEC posted on the wall of the cafeteria. I freaked out and was so excited and said "Who here loves Stevie Nicks because I LOVE Stevie Nicks".

And then the lunch lady pulled off her hairnet & she was Sharon.

Has anyone ever heard the extended remix of this song? It has a long teaser intro before Stevie chimes in. I imagine an audience eager with anticipation as the song builds up to her entrance to the stage.

That would rock!

Sharon wearing a hairnet?? i'm guessing it would have to be a black hairnet, otherwise it just wouldn't look right on her

I've talked about this before but I was never a huge fan of LWTG until I heard the extended remix and now I LOVE it and have it in my cd player on repeat right now. If anyone does not have this find it NOW. I love when she says "Can I be of any help to you you you" towards the end and "you" echos. Great 80's affects! And love that teaser intro. Sometimes I go around my office saying "Have fun tell the world!!"

I remember listening to these shows where she did this and saying wow this is awesome. The crowd was so into it by the point, all the build up from edge. I really thought it sounded great. Juliet and Talk to Me replacing it in the middle, even better!

Werd!

she could finish up "Edge", take a little break during the encore... and totally rock out "Stand Back", without having to worry about conserving energy for the rest of the show

the TTM thing made me cry after the show, it really did, i mean she shouldnt say things like that! us fans r too fragile! i think either TTM or I Cant Wait should open the show,perferably I CANT WAIT, because it has such a long into where she could do "How Do I love YOU.." back stage, and then make a big apperance ( on the top of a big starcase prehaps?) with the "I Cant Wait I Cant WAIT!" with the back up girls on either side and they kinda reinact the music video on the steps as they go down...ive kinda planed out stevies farewell tour in my head ( i hate to say "farewell" but i mean the biggest concert she ever puts on)
if she did that with I cant wait, and had TTM in the set, it would make up for not having TTM in the set in vegas ( what am i saying i love stevie no matter what she says and dosent go through with!!)

dude.. you and i are on the same exact wavelength

i have "I Can't Wait" intro fantasies myself

... would be the best opener for any tour

I know she had done this song in concert early in her solo career, but she didn't start with it. "Gold and Braid" would rock as an opening song, IMO.
