Worst Stevie Tour

[nightbird89]

What do you think is the worst tour stevie ever did?
For me, it's Whole Lotta Trouble (Timespace.) She's just so klonopined out and so unemotional. Not to mention her horrendous wardrobe change. The bustlers and sholder pads, what was up with that? so un stevie. post your opinions here, and give an answer, not just a vote.

I don't really know what tour to vote for - they are all really good. I loved Stevie's voice on the Timespace tour, and the same with Street Angel - I will have a listen to my boots and think about it

I was disappointed in TISL, but poor Stevie had just come back from several cancelled shows due to illness. So I'll cut her some slack.

I hate to see a thread about the worst anything...

I voted for TISL, even though I thought she was crappier in many ways on the Timespace tour. I agree with what you say about it. But I think in retrospect it had at least some things that appealed to me that the TISL tour didn't even have: legendary platform boots & "If Anyone Falls," whereas the TISL shows I saw (& walked out of--Irvine Meadows, Santa Barbara, Universal Amphitheatre) just held no appeal for me at all. In fact, that is the last year I saw Stevie solo. Just no appeal for me at all--that's just not the way I like my music.

But certainly I'd vote for Timespace 2nd in this poll.

i c what u mean. Not as much boots, and some of the shows lacked just the whole stevie feeling, the dreamy enchatedness. But a few of the shows i saw on that tour were fantastic. i 2 miss the boots, and not enough rhiannon sleeves either!

I've been able to see all of Stevie's tours except the first, and I have to say the OSOTM tour was the worst. By the time I saw her at Shoreline near San Francisco, the set was cut, but she managed to keep the horrible Two Kinds of Love in it. It was just awful-I suppose I blame the klonopin. I read somewhere she didnt remember a whole solo tour. OSOTM was obviously it.

Honestly, I don't know how anyone could say TISL was her worst tour... I mean, yea... she had problems with bronchitis or whatever, but my gawd... she took the stage like, what, four days after we were attacked?! And she was in NYC when it happened, she SAW the smoke and rubble... most of us didn't! It was just too surreal... I saw her here one month to the day of the attacks. Whew... I dunno, man. I can't imagine how hard it was for her, really. Dang man. Do ya feel me or wha? She was already nervous with the new album and tour after 10 years... Oh well.

I was just saying as far as performances went- I was most disappointed in her on this tour. My own excitement and expectations may have played a big part, but like I said- she was just coming off a major illness. She seemed extremely lethargic and uninterested. At the time I said that I felt she was NOT emotionally present, at all. Didn't change my love, respect, and obssession for her any, though!!!

Oh I hear ya... the first time I saw her solo was Enchanted tour and I was waaay excited and had lots of expectations. All I had seen and heard of her solo work up until then was old footage from her wildest years. I had the same feeling coming away from that show, that she seemed lethargic, uninterested, not emotionally present, etc. In fact, I figured she would never come back to Portland again. I was thinking at the time she hated Portland. But, I came to realize over time, Stevie just doesn't rock it like she used to. And I agree, it doesn't change my love, respect, etc for her either.

HEY! who the hell is voting for OSOTM tour as the worst!!!

[DashingDan]

I saw a terrific, wide-awake, frisky, special-guest-sheryl-Crow, Bombay Saphires-in-the-set-list, excellent band, TISL show, so I can't imagine that being the worst tour.

I saw a pathetic, glassy-eyed, can't-step-over-a-mic-cable-without-a-roadie's-assistance, zonked-out, Michael Anthony-as-musical-director, Timespace show, so, of course, I think that one has to be the worst tour.

Definitely OSOTM/STREET ANGEL....
