Heart and Soul Tour

[Macfan4life]

Am I the only one that thought Stevie was majorly disrespected during the Heart and Soul tour with Rod Stewart? When the tour was announced they both stated besides their own material they would join eachother on stage to both sing songs in their sets. Stevie surely had a bunch of duets to choose from. But when the tour started, people scratched their heads since there was none of the "joining each other" on stage to sing. After a few more tour stops, Stevie did join Rod Stewart on his stage to sing along with some of his songs. At a few stops they sung Leather and Lace on his stage and he had to read the lyrics and he did a horrible job. That lasted only a few times and then there were no more "joint" operations.
I get that Rod as a solo artist probably sold more records and is bigger than Stevie as a solo artist (although I may not agree with that). So I get that Stevie sort of "opened' the show. But Rod must have had a HUGE ego to NEVER join Stevie on her stage to sing any songs. When Stevie and Don Henley toured together, Stevie came out to sing Hotel California and other songs with Don. She made it clear it was a duo tour and Don was not an opening act. But it appears Rod made it clear that Stevie was an opening act for him even though that is not how the show was promoted. I would love to ask Stevie about this. She has never been an opening act for anyone since Jimi Hendrix. I just felt she was disrespected.
