You guys see how silly the drug talk has grown? It's gotten to the point now where the newer fans don't even know which tour Stevie was stoned on.

We're doing a grave disservice to Stevie Nicks history.

Why? I thought this was a really great tour. She didn't move a lot but her vocals were great and the song selection is awesome. When I was there in 98 I was so exicted when Gold and Braid started and I Was expecting her to do those kicks again like on the In concert video. That upset me.

The other tours were better. White winged dove tour her voice was very pure and beautiful. WH she did tons of ad libs and looked amazing. Enchanted she added Sleeping Angel, Rose Garden etc. which I really enjoyed.

I did love her voice on Street Angel though. She totally rocked.

The set list was AMAZING! It is people like you who force us to hear the same freekin' preformance of Gold dust woman every bloddy tour! Mixing it up was like air. Shure, no kicks and slow spins, but hey, Sleeping angel In the original key!!!

First of all, let me assure you that it isn't people like me who force us to hear the same freekin' preformance of Gold Dust Woman every bloddy tour. I was ready & eager for Stevie to retire GDW & all her other warhorses by the 1989 tour.

Secondly, I don't think the set list was considerably more "amazing" in 1998 than it was for most of her other tours. It had exactly a handful of fresh songs (Gold & Braid, After the Glitter Fades, Rose Garden, Garbo, Sleeping Angel) -- great choices although one could argue too many ballads. The rest of the set was old hat -- Outside the Rain, Dreams, Gold Dust Woman, Stop Dragging My Heart Around, Stand Back, Rhiannon, Whole Lotta Trouble, Landslide, Edge of Seventeen, I Need to Know, Has Anyone Ever Written.

She did four or five new songs on several other tours, too (at least at the beginning): 1989 had Juliet, Rooms on Fire, Alice, Two Kinds of Love; 2001 had Planets, Sorcerer, Fall from Grace, Every Day & Too Far From Texas; & the 1981 tour was the clear winner in terms of new material because it had Blue Lamp, Gold & Braid, I Need to Know, Bella Donna, Stop Dragging My Heart Around, Think About It, After the Glitter Fades, Edge of Seventeen, How Still My Love, Leather & Lace & Outside the Rain.

But for some inexplicable reason, the 1998 tour strikes many fans as being the best, most daring, freshest set list. I think the addition of those five songs was great, but the tour is unjustifiably singled out.

What was the original key of "Sleeping Angel"? And why is original key so important? Did Fleetwood Mac's "Angel" not work on the 1979/1980 tour because it wasn't in the original key? In fact, it was moved up a whole step & not actually lowered. The only time a change in key actually bugged me in terms of audio effect was dropping "Stop Dragging" in 2001. It turned sluggish & dirgelike, which is precisely what that song ISN'T when you hear old recordings of the Heartbreakers play it.

I thought it was okay. My conception of "great vocals" isn't someone singing full-chest through every single song, which is essentially what Stevie's been doing since those days. Her vocals have lost a lot of their old pliability: their inclination to swoop & swirl & soar & dive in terms of both tonality & dynamics. (How often do you hear her whisper during the live performance of a song these days?)

So it's just a question of personal preference: I happen not to really prefer her middle-age voice, so I left the shows after I had had enough for the evening. I think I've been leaving early ever since (except for this year & the final year of Fleetwood's tour, when I didn't go at all).

I'm really pushing for the WWD tour to win. Her voice was flawless, all singing, full of emotion, full of sexy moves, and how hot was she in that mini skirt/boots combo in the In Concert video? Bouncing along to EO17, the Gold and Braid kicks, this tour has it all...except Stand Back. I'm willing to give up Stand Back for Bella Donna, Blue Lamp, and the rest of the songs that have already been mentioned.

I'm voting for The Wild Heart tour.
