Songs Stevie Has Sung That We Never Have Heard

Black Velvet,
Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart

The 2 titles above are songs she seems to have only performed live, each only once, and there seems to be no audience recordings of them to be found anywhere. Are there others? Was there ever a live duet of 'Whenever I Call You Friend' with Kenny Loggins?
I was so hoping "Itching" would surface, it was in '08 or '09, certainly someone must have had a cellphone at that Motown event or when she rehearsed it! Dang!
So, anyway, is there a list of songs that we know she has sung live or recorded that nobody has leaked, as of yet?

She definitely sung "Whenever I Call You Friend" together with Kenny Loggins at least a couple of times, there are several pictures of her on stage with him.
She did "It Takes Two" with Don Henley the same night she did Black Velvet.
There are probably lots more that I can't think of right now.

Midnight Rider sung live with Sheryl Crow is a track I would LOVE to have.

Yeah I think in 78 or 79 she performed with Kenny Loggins.... there has to be something out there live with the 2 of them.

Great idea for a thread. Jane is the only one I can think of at the moment.

Thanks for the quick answers... an intriguing list has begun, already. Maybe getting a bunch of titles together in one place will make some of them magically surface! It's funny how there are just some things no-one has ever come across, but then we get a surprise like 'Call On Me For Magic'. It seems like so much does surface, that it makes me want to hear the rarities no-one seems to have, even more.

I bet she rocked on Black Velvet that sounds awesome by the original artist (I hate to say but I have no clue who it is, maybe Pat Benatar?) and it sounds like a good song for Stevie.

Alannah Myles.
There's also the stuff she did with Tom Petty and Bob Dylan in Australia in '86, I believe there's only one crappy recording.
There are pictures of her onstage with Walter Egan in 1978, but no recordings.

It was recorded by Alannah Myles. I always thought she looked like Julianna Margulies.

I'm not much for posting, but I just had to answer this one. I actually saw Stevie Nicks perform Whenever I Call You Friend with Kenny Loggins back in '78 or '79 (not sure what year anymore.) They also did Celebrate Me Home. It was it the old Anaheim Convention Center, I think, and there was a picture of it in People magazine. I also saw her perform with Walter Egan during the same time period at a tiny, outside amphitheater called the John Anson Ford Theater (near the Hollywood Bowl.) I'm sure they did Magnet and Steel and When I Get My Wheels, but I don't remember what else they did. She did stay on stage for about half the show, though, and was having a blast. If I remember correctly, she was actually wearing a long leather skirt. (Other details evade me now. It's been a long time.)

Of course, hundreds! Live shows, demos, etc. I'm not sure the nature of the question. The stuff that is "leaked" is just the tip of the iceburg. Trust me.
As for duets, it all depends on who has kept a copy. Most artists do tape their shows, whether it's live or studio sessions. But for example, if it's a duet, only one of the artists may have a (legit) copy. Back in the 70s and early 80s, making copies wasn't as big a deal as it is now (and not always as convenient).
There are countless demos and bits of demos, etc. that will never see the light of day because they've been entrusted to people who have the best interests of her at heart and aren't out to make a quick buck or gain notoriety by betraying her and "leaking" them to the public against her wishes.

For real. Oh wow. Do you know when?

With Sheryl Crow at the National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund's Annual New York Dinner , March 6th, 2002.

I didn't have it committed to memory, I swear.

I checked the nicksfix. Google says there is a bootleg circulating, but it looks like you'll have to ask someone in the Sheryl Crow community.

I can't tell if you're serious or not, I assume you might be. Many of us have heard 50 or even more than 50 demos, that have been 'leaked' (seems like an undignified word, I shouldn't have used it!) and they have been consistently leaked, seemingly, for 30 years or more, because they keep on coming. I'm not talking about those songs.
I meant more like things we KNOW she sung, be it 'Black Velvet' or whatever, that just never have surfaced anywhere so far.
Songs I were not thinking of include the unreleased 'Forest of The Black Roses;' 'Jimmy Come Back',' Julia', 'China Doll', and 'Space Needle' ' are from four different decades, after all. So, indeed, unauthorized music does get to the public, and it's not right, but it always has happened and still happens and that isn't what this thread was about. I don't think anyone's gained notoriety by it, I agree with you that it's a betrayal (one that has happened over and over) and I don't even think it was done for money. But that's all another, already much-discussed topic, I certainly didn't mean to stir that, again. Really, I just started thinking about 'Itching In My Heart' and that it's one thing that just hasn't surfaced, and it was recent enough that someone must have been able to have the technology to share it, and hasn't.
I think it's great (thank you!) that someone who never had even posted before on The Ledge wrote that he (or she) attended '70s one-off concerts that Stevie sang with Egan and Loggins. 'His' memory was pretty good, all things considered! 'Midnight Rider' that viv mentioned was another good call, because I'd forgotten about it, so I guess if it's less objectionable, we can limit this to live songs, if that's better.
