For all we know, maybe she's already changed her setlist for the casino tour... wait and see people

She should pull out her guitar and do Go Insane followed by a solo version of Frozen Love, guitar solo and all.

She did. This tour she is actually only playing Taylor Swift covers. In her words, "You know what? **** my fans! I am playing what I want, and what I want right now is to be Taylor Swift! Karen, WHERE ARE MY T-SHIRTS?!"

have you guys not seen this video? It's her hits....

ButterCookie · #80 05-19-2010, 04:36 PM

Argh, I'm getting annoyed now

She does the hits because they were hits. They were hits because the fans bought them. The majority of the audience are casual fans, no? So they want what they've heard on the radio.

There's a big big world out there that doesn't revolve around Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac and a lot of people in that world don't care for 'unknown' stuff. Are people really selfish enough to care more about themselves than Stevie and others?

(for the record, this debate has been had many-a-time between Blondie fans but if Blondie don't do The Tide Is High in each set, people would walk out.)

That right there is my definition of HELL

No no, SS, I'm not being sarcastic anymore. It's genuinely getting to me. It's not just the hardcore fans going to the shows, there's people who want to hear her FM stuff and her hits but I know you know that, please don't get me wrong. Like Miranda said yesterday, Stevie's songs are like her children and I'm tired of people bashing them. On a much more personal level, I've heard Blondie do Call Me in almost every set since 1980 but I'd hate to see them stop doing it because it's supposed to be there. The set is empty without it.

I'm totally was with you sister, I was joking. I'm one of those that would pay top dollar to listen to Stevie sing Rhiannon 15 times in a row in Frankenboks and act like a robot. What can I say, it's unconditional love. I haven't posted too much in here because there's really not much to say. She will NEVER stop including her big hits in her set list. It's the nature of the music business and human nature! As much as I think she's capable of performing new material and would not be opposed to it I'm at peace with hearing the same songs repeatedly because for me, nothing compares to the high of standing in front of Ms. Nicks, looking into her eyes, and falling in love over and over again.

That's the same promo video she's used for several years now. They aren't going to shoot a new promo every time she adds a song, or takes one out of the setlist. She hasn't performed "Every Day" or "Stop Draggin' my Heart Around" for the last several tours and they still showed clips of those videos. I'm not for a second suggesting there is a big chance she will change the setlist much, but you really can't use that promo as evidence to the contrary.

oh, wow! that's news to me! Sorry, guys - disregard the post!

Perhaps I'm mellowing with age,or I'm just plain old tired of bitching about her dreadful setlist. Do I want to hear Sable on Blond? Yes, in the worst way. Do I want to hear Talk To Me? Without a doubt. Do I want to hear After the Glitter Fades? Damn straight. But I've accepted the fact that I'm probably not going to. I'm grateful that Stevie is still inspired enough to continue to perform live. If I never heard Dreams or Rhiannon or Landslide ever again, it would be fine by me. But if these are the songs that Stevie wants to sing and if she finds happiness in singing them, so be it. Her boring old setlist is better than no setlist at all.

Stevie's still magic, no matter what she sings...

There's a new cover of Wild Heart on YouTube.

Seems like there's been several covers of that recently, all based on the backstage version.

Leads me to wonder if the attention being paid to it will make her want to sing it again, maybe not the record version, but the other one. The "I love you, I love you, I love you, I do" way.
