I hope she tries to sustain those long notes after the first two verses (i.e. "to me..." "of the moon..."), instead of "to me, yeah!" and "of the moon, yeah!"

Me will become may, and she ain't holding the moon.

I suspect it will be different from night to night. Sharon and Lori will probably do the high harmonies and Stevie will go for the note only when she feels up to it. She already does this now with "Gold Dust Woman." But I do suspect there will be some "yeahs" or some descending melisma worked in there.

She could add a couple of long modern-day "Edge of 17-esque" growls to the end of Sisters to make it cool, since we know she won't be screaming gibberish like in 82.

I'm assuming it will sound more like Mirage version. I don't mind the yeahs and oohs as long as she's hitting those notes that make me squeal

I'm trying not to get my hopes up. The Mirage version was amazing, but given how long ago that was and the energy needed every show I don't think Stevie will be able to produce something similar. My hope is that she has reworked it to take account of her voice now and to allow her to perform it frequently, so that it isn't dropped before I see them in London!

I, too, am very excited to hear "Sisters," but I don't have high expectations. I expect it to be much like the modern-day "Rhiannon"—a satisfying performance but nothing spectacular.

Wouldn't it shock everyone if she took "Sisters" back to its original dark piano demo? That could be interesting......

I haven't seen FM live yet so I won't complain about their setlist, I feel I'm lucky enough to have a chance to see them live at all

BUT... I LOVE Sisters Of The Moon

So I'm lucky they will perform it...

I'd be satisfied with a piano version (THEY'D HAVE TO RELEASE A LIVE RECORDING OF THAT IF THEY EVER DID THAT) as well as a version that focuses on Lindsey's guitar playing skills

Yes, Stevie's voice isn't as capable as it once was, but just hearing them do that song once more should be suffice! I mean, what do some people expect.. they're not trying to make another live record, they're just providing us the chance to hear them live and have a good time... So I don't think we should complain!
