This is THE reason why I don't take her serious anymore. That she did this last year was something I couldn't digest, but going again for this cheap, sad sellout, makes me mad. You're never to old to Fall From Grace, I guess. Blerghhh .

Don't you know? It's expensive being Stevie Nicks.

I can't be that hard on her. I know it costs her more than she makes to tour the way she does. Her payroll is huge. She's barely breaking even on the solo shows everyone wants to see, because she's paying for it with the Rod dates.

With all this talk about the Rod tour being a cash grab, I'm wondering how anyone knows exactly how much she is making by doing it. She is the support act and is probably paid a fixed amount for each show, and who knows if it's any different than her usual guarantee? Is the double bill so appealing that the crowd is even bigger than the sum of each of their audiences alone? It would have to be (and substantially so) in order for it to make sense to pay her more than her standard fee.

I don't want to be hard on her, don't get me wrong. I can see how one can do commercial things too. But this... Is humiliating, also for a fan.

Well, I refuse to see Lindsey's band in a can.

That's sure to get the EMI merger approved.

just back from tonights show in cinci....set list changed a little...enchanted was back in and moonlight was out and she didn't come out during rod's set. she mentioned something during the very beginning of her set about how she always spent an extra day in cinci everytime she played there , but was not going to be able to this time through ...."because of something i can't tell you about"......hmmmm wonder what that's all about seeing as the next show isn't for 3 days in nashville? i will have to say she sounded great tonight!! almost as good as she did a couple off weeks ago in detroit - now that was an amzing show!!

i cant believe she didnt do songs with rod

as much as i dislike rod i really like Young Turks ... and it is starting to sound more like greatest hits now with moonlight out

...wonder what the "something she cant tell us about" is?

I can't believe he called her a support act.

drag00n · #42 07-22-2012, 12:23 AM

Rod Stewart is a douche bag.. He disrespected Stevie and I am glad she did her set and did not return. Dying to know what she is up to.....
Hopefully going back out on her own...
As for what she sings,,,,,, who cares!!!!
Just appreciate she is out there!!!!!
I would kill to sit and watch her sing the phone book... as long as she threw in the occassional twirl

I am shocked that she dropped Moonlight for Enchanted and even more shocked she didn't perform with Rod.

I bet she isn't paid a set amount. He can call her a support act. But that is SOME support act. Like he said the seats are filled. Rod can't sell out alone.

why even mention it unless you wanted to get people buzzing about what it might be? She knows what's she's doing
