I'd go to NOTS any day over seeing Stevie live. NOTS happens only once a year... Stevie often plays nearly 100 live dates a year. Not to mention NOTS is different every year... Stevie's shows really haven't had a mix up in over a decade now.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you. I know the performers, especially the ones at a premier event like NOTS have a lot of talent, I would never choose to see an impersonator over the real thing. There are many impersonators, but only one Stevie.

Oh, I'm just less cynical than you!

we'el just have to agree to disagree.

I realize that these days I'm probably in the minority with my above opinion, but I feel really strongly about it. Stevie's going to have to slip quite a bit more for me to change that opinion.

hope i can go to this show. if not maybe another one.

Trust me, you are hardly in the minority on this one. I'm not a fair weather Stevie fan, and I do honestly think she still has amazing presence and gravitas as a live performer. She's just not the coke-fueled barn burner of old, and I can deal with that just fine.

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby.

Good way to put it! If ya all are expecting that "coke-fueled" performance its just not going to happen anymore! Thoses days are no doubt gone. I myself still enjoy her amazing presence and think she can still put on a good performence.

For me, I still get goose bumps when she hits the stage......K I hafe to go there.....

Go ahead Lilly, hit it, hit the stage!!

Yea I think it's a 100 percent no brainer, you go see Stevie in a choice between those 2 no matter what InsaneInsane2000 says!

We can always count on you for veiled cattiness!

I'd be able to reconcile Stevie's lack of passion and increasing indifference these days if she were to at least thoroughly mix up her setlist. Not to mention that Stevie's voice just gets pitchier every single year. I adore Stevie in my way, you adore her in yours. I prefer to remember her for what she was, not what she's deteriorated into.

Besides my displeasure with her performances the past 10 odd years, the biggest reason to go to NOTS if that's your thing is because Stevie always does a TON of Northeast dates. If you want to go to NOTS and see a Stevie show too, you can do just that. You can truly have your cake and eat it too if you live in that region.
