Holy. ****. Thanks for the info!


Of course, I can't get to ANY of the first 8 shows (stupid Darien Lake is way at the end, stupid Buffalo, stupid stupid stupid, grrrrr......) but I will once again patiently await for bootlegs to show up.

This is incredible news. Insider, Strand? I honestly don't know if I dare to hope. I don't know if I could handle the letdown if it doesn't happen. Same for Needles & Pins, oh my lord. So I'm going to assume they'll do SDMHA and maybe The Apartment Song or perhaps Free Fallin and be happy when that actually happens, rather than dream the impossible dream & never recover when it's shattered.

Yay!! I'm excited. I was already going to see Petty in Mansfield anyway.

Pattie, are you going to come up??

Who knows what they will do. If the Two Voices tour was any indication, then she will sing on a few of his songs and they will duet and then cover a song. Who knows though. I can't make it to any of the shows, but I look forward to the boots. AND - thank goodness it is in the Northeast as our fav. bootlegger lives there!!!!!!!!!

As an aside - this is a Petty tour and she is doing a guest spot. So, I think she will do maybe three songs. But and again, this is all speculation and I am frenzied with anticipation!

Dear God,
Please let me win the lottery so I can follow Stevie and Tom around on tour this summer.
That is all.
Amen.

[Liza]

Wow, what fantastic news, just when I read this morning that some people were talking about Stevie not doing any more!!!! You lucky things who live in the States and can go.

The thought of Stevie retireing before coming back to the UK - oh no!!!!

And they said "Amen". I would so do that.

Hey, is there any way we could flood Tom's...people? with oodles of begging, pleading requests for Insider? Tom is cool, he'll listen!
Everyone who goes to one of these shows should scream it out mightily.

Unfortunately, I don't think Tom is the one we would need to convince. Ahem.

I'm really surprised she is doing these early dates. Awesome. I don't think I can resist going to Charlotte since it is close to me and the opening night. Insider would indeed be incredible, but at least we know they'll do SDMHA, and I've never seen Petty do it, so...cool enough for me.

Well, I wasn't planning on it. I am pretty sure that I am off that night but I am not sure if I am a back-up. Of course now I need a ticket. Any suggestions?

[skcin]

OK, so even though I'm not going to any of these shows, I must talk about it constantly. What songs have they done together, or what has Stevie covered of Tom's, or what songs have they both covered? Tell me if I've missed any.

Insider
SDMHA
I Will Run To You
Apartment Song
Free Fallin'
I Need to Know
Needles & Pins
So You Wanna Be a R&R Star
The girls did background vocals on Don't Come Around Here No More, and rumour has it that it was offfered to Stevie, or Stevie was supposed to sing it with Tom, or something like that.


I'd really love it if they did ANY of the above, to be honest. I will DIE if they do Insider (like I said before, they won't, so I will NOT get my hopes up just to have them crushed.) Realistically, I'd say we have a good shot for SDMHA, I Need To Know & Don't Come Around Here No More. I think DCAHNM would absolutely ROCK with Stevie.

Not Fade Away
Make It Better (Forget About Me)
Don't Bring Me Down
You Can Still Change Your Mind

Plus the stuff that the Heartbreakers played on, like Outside the Rain

I just find it mind boggling that THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND would stoop to being an opening act for TP&tH. Who's managing the ABB these days and have they stopped taking their medication?

Ooh, I like the sound of that. I wonder what a standard TP setlist is like and if that song is usually part of it. (Of course, he probably changes his up every tour.)

As for other TP songs, I'd love to hear Stevie on Running Down a Dream and/or You Wreck Me.

I just keep thinking about how great she was singing with Henley on his songs during the Two Voices tour. She really seems to push herself when she's doing someone else's songs, so whatever she sings, it should be a treat.
