Is Anyone Missing Stand Back? I'm Not.

I know most will disagree, but I find that song totally overplayed and boring. Yeah yeah he gets all amped up and does his finest guitar god impression and all that.... but... it made sense earlier on when that was indeed his one, big solo guitar moment in the spotlight. When shows were built on "the drum solo" and the "lead guitar solo" and all that. But the show, and his songs/plAying has evolved so much since those days. He gets several great guitar-focused spots in the show-- Big Love, GYOW, Not That Funny, Come.. whatever songs are in the set on a given tour. This one to me is the big, lumbering dinosaur and needs to have a happy retirement on the retired dinosaur farm. Just like certain Stevie songs.

...and Tango In The Night would be the ultimate variation. He'd still get to play the same long, intense, manic guitar solo but there'd be a renewed interest in it. It would be fresh!

I really wish they would do TITN!

I miss Stand Back for sure !!
It would be much better than Seven Wonders... they put it back just because of the series American Horor Story... I know Stevie prefer performing songs she wrote herself... but she did not write this...

but it doesn´t make this tour bad... because Christine is back, that´s the point ! yeah

I will be in Cologne !!


mmm, maybe they will add Stand Back to the European leg of the tour...

I have always been puzzled by the love for the live SB. To me it is always, FM or solo, a wall of thudding roaring cacophonous noise with bellowed, off-key vocals. Not so much a song as a period of auditory chaos.

They really should. Lindsey should at least do an acoustic version that plays before the start of the show, if nothing else. I always thought he could do a killer arrangement of the song, especially since some people say it's identical to 5 other songs of his.

Seven Wonders is also so much easier for Stevie in the setlist. Stand Back has the twirls and so upbeat. Seven Wonders has a catchy tune but kind of a boring song. I agree, "I'm So Afraid", as much as I was blown away first time I saw it live and several more times after that, it has become old. The young people that have never seen it before or casual fans coming to hear the hits probably have the same reaction I once did WOW but now ready for TITN or something else that could be a shining song. Diehard fans know this song, not the casual so easy to change it up for another "moment". Saying that, if it's kept in, I'm not complaining, just looking for something to change in the set list. It's always the same night after night which I understand many artist's do this on tour but a song or two from time to time, since they know them all so well would be a nice change.

If they weren't so stuck in the mud with their set lists, Tango in the Night could replace I'm So Afraid.
