I am a very ritualistic person sometimes but Stevie tops me in that category. Paul McCartney is much older than Stevie and performs
over an hour longer than Stevie. I would love a solo tour that covered her entire solo career. 3 songs from Bella Donna, a few from Wild Heart, RAL, TOSOTM, Street Angel , TISRL , 24k Gold, and even some surprises.
She needs to open with a rocking I cant Wait and surprise us a few times here and there. Stevie has a HUGE solo catalog. With all the Mac shows over the years I think she can do her first solo tour with no Mac songs. I want to hear Bella Donna live (in person) before I die. I think that song would be the best encore ever... even if it was the piano version. I would love to see an only solo work show to save room for the songs she needs to do live. Dropping Dreams, Rhiannon, Gold Dust Woman and Landslide would upset many but if she did Bella Donna, Sable on Blonde, Never Ever Changes, Oooh My Love, and All the Beautiful Worlds in their place..... I would die a happy person

At 67 we should be grateful she is even considering touring at all, I doubt her voice can sustain singing continuously for long periods of time.
She's always had problem with her voice even in her youth, she did short sets and still her voice sounded sore after a while, I think had she played longer sets her voice woud have been even more damaged than what it already is.
