Possible 24KG tour

[PenguinHead]

Why bother embarking on a tour to promote 24 Karat Gold, yet performing 3 songs from the album and the same old songs she's been performing for 3o something years?

If she really serious about her new songs, she should perform and film a few intimate gigs as "The Songs from the Vault show - 80% album songs 20% old songs. Feature it like The Dance. Debut it on TV, promote it on the internet. Make appearances on high profile shows like The View, Ellen (everyone gets a copy of the album!) and Jimmy Fallon. There are so many untapped, creative ways of marketing besides a stale oldies tour.

She should have toured here with In Your Dreams. I think she underestimates her UK/European following massively.

Exactly. We should all tweet or Facebook Dave and tell him to get Stevie to tour Europe and especially the UK. She needs to know that there's a call for a solo tour here. It would've only have been 27 years!

I would absolutely love her to play in Europe, even if it was just one date! I guess it's unlikely it will happen, but you never know..........

I agree with this.

I don't blame her touring it but it can be a little embarrassing when a high profile person like Stevie goes on a show and says "No. This album isn't quite new, it's a year old but it didn't sell so I'm only here so people at home can go and buy it."

Just tour Stevie because you want to and not because you want to sell more copies of 24KG. Just promote the tour on the big TV programmes and slip in the fact that it's a great album and it's out there.

I don't think Stevie is touring because of sales.

I think Stevie is going to tour because she's got a newly discovered love for these songs - otherwise they wouldn't have been selected for 24 Karat Gold. Other than laying down vocals, she hasn't had her time to explore these new songs on the stage.

Stevie *always* plays a few new tracks, and I' sure this upcoming tour will be no exception. It doesn't matter if the album is a year old, or 18 months - it's still new to her, because she recorded it and then went right to work with Fleetwood Mac, leaving her album to collect dust.

My 2 cents.

Stevie played 6 songs from IYD consistently, 8 at the first show and 9 were played total if you count her one off New Orleans performance in New Orleans. I dont know where you're getting this 3 songs from

That's exactly what happened to me when I said the same thing. But I think that situation makes the most sense.

I tend to doubt Leather and Lace unless Stevie does another "Two Voices" tour with Don Henley.

only thing is, TV doesn't "goose" sales like it used to. The Dance was almost 20 years ago, MTV doesn't have that viewership anymore. Media is so splintered now. People basically consume the media they already want to view/hear. The bottom line is, unless she swings over to country and does a co-headlining tour with Lady Antebellum, her sales are done.
I'm baffled by her aversion to the country market. That's how she started singing. Blue Water, prominently featuring LA should have been a high profile first single, with a big budget video, released to country.... Lady was just more of her twirling around in 19th century drag.
She should have resurrected the GOURGEOUS look from the Little Lies video, dump the black clothes, stick-straight hair from The Dance revival, and work that country-girl look and sound.... IF she wanted to make a splash in the current market-place.
I ADORE Stevie and always will. It seems she truly cares about being on top. If that's the case, she needs new management and promotion and image... Liz Rosenberg can book her on all the talk shows on earth.. but she's still cultivating that look/sound from the Dance era.. it's OVER.

A lot of people in country think she is a slutty witch and don't want to embrace her.

I'd love Stevie to do a full UK tour, I was really disappointed when the extent of the IYD UK leg was one support slot for Rod Stewart at Hyde Park. A show somewhere like the Royal Albert Hall would be incredible
