I agree! Gawd, I hope there's no Soldier's Angel, but Stevie's probably already, "oh this will be so perfect, Lindsey and I can sing it together at every show!" (facepalm) But YMBTO would be cool!

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH


How could anyone not want to hear a Stevie/Lindsey duet on this!?!?

How is You May Be The One winning?
Not that it's bad, but definitely not a favorite.

I'd also pick Everybody Loves You. Soldier's Angel, maybe, but that's kind of predictable so I feel it's a given; I would say another besides that one being as I'm assumign it'll be included in the set.

I guess I'm not for FWIW because, from what I've gathered, it's not about Lindsey, so the context would be wrong, whereas YMBTW was admittedly about Lindsey (and on Dave's end, Annie Lennox). I'm sure FWIW would still sound great coming from the Mac, but I don't think the timing would be right.

That explains everything. Thank you!

This is what I'm afraid of. Don't get me wrong - I love that they connected over this. I love that Stevie cares so much about soldiers.

However, I can't stand the song itself. The melody sounds like a dirge and Lindsey's musical contribution is a surprisingly uninspired series of ker-plunks. Even worse, the lyrics are so (unintentionally) narcissistic they make me cringe.

Her heart was in the right place but I dread hearing that song live again. While the beautiful "Italian Summer" is my fave and I voted for it here, WSS would be exciting, uptempo, and high-energy. Wish I could change my vote to WSS, come to think of it!

Regarding SWS, I view it more as a continuation of Lindsey's previous work rather than a retread. I agree that's it's not a significant departure, though.

My true preference: no solo songs from either.

Personally I'd love to hear Lindsey sing "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" with Stevie but mostly for novelty's sake, don't really need it taking up space on the setlist. I'm not sure FM should do solo songs on the tour in the first place though, but if it's an IYD song then I'd love "You May Be the One. I like the groove and especially that it's definitely about Lindsey. I think it's weightier than "In Your Dreams" too, though that's a lot of fun. "FWIW" is beautiful but there are other slower songs I'd like to hear. "Annabel Lee" is a song I'd like to hear with a FM that included Christine.

I feel like it'd be so awkward for Lindsey stand on stage while Stevie sang You May Be The One. At least, if I were Lindsey, I'd feel awkward.

Then again, I guess if that kind of thing bothered them they would have quit doing it a long time ago....

^ If I had to go through years of "Go Your Own Way" I'd pretty much demand carte blanche for this kind of thing.

I would prefer that there not be any SN solo songs. Why? cause I don't really like her solo stuff. (Go ahead and kill me Stevie fanatics ) but give me 4 or more LB solo songs, preferably from OOTC or SWS.

Stevie puts BUTTS in seats! not to mention her last Album was top ten. Where did SWS chart?

we already have that song....it's called Stand back

I think the most we will hear (solo) SN on SB and SA...maybe switch that out for NO at Jazz Fest.

see I'msoAfraid95 you didn't have to wait long?!

to answer the question about charting (although most people don't know about IYD or SWS, regardless): "The album entered the Billboard 200 in the week of September 24, 2011.[8] By reaching number 45, Seeds We Sow ties with 1984's Go Insane as Buckingham's second successful album after his 1981 debut Law and Order. Additionally, it also reached number 6 on the Billboard Rock Album Chart and number 5 on the Billboard Independent Albums Chart."

a friend of mine once put it this way - Stevie is the worm that reels them in... once at the show there's someone else who actually always delivers (in spades!) for general audience (not just for ultrafans of one or the other band member). hopefully this time around Stevie will rise to the occasion too so everyone can be happy.

i was not there in 2003 or 2009 so just wondering for people who were - did general audience enjoy I Know I'm Not Wrong even though they didn't know it? what about Storms?

would general audience rock out to That's The Way Love Goes? oh yeah

well, in 2009, I was the worm that reeled my sister, and she was completely mesmerized with Bucks talent. (still not enough to buy his CDs) But she would go with me to a solo show, no doubt.

I didn't notice much about others reactions to IKINW and Storms, however we had to stand the entire show (I was on the floor this time) So, everyone in the first 20 rows or so were standing the entire time. The people behind us sat most of the time.

I think as long as LB pulls out some pop-rock driven tune, the crowd generally enjoys it weather they know it over not.
