I've said this a million times, but she *could* be doing interesting work outside of performing in arenas. It's a shame that she's not surrounded by or chooses not to be surrounded by people encouraging her to do things beyond a greatest hits arena show. She needs to retire from arena performances, but that doesn't mean there isn't other meaningful performances she could be doing instead.

I miss Stevie the artist from 2011. Not scoring a #1 album really upset her, but for two years she played a lot of new songs in her setlist and didn't care. That was the In Your Dreams Tour. 24 Karat Tour was named after the album but she only did 3 songs from it.

That Wiltern 2011 show is the stuff of legends!

She will be 75 soon. I can't imagine going on stage much more. My husband says she will tour till she drops and I think he's right, but I don't think I want to see it. I'm going to this show and I really think it might be the last time I see her live.

She put on a good show in the 'Burgh in 2017. Its a better show to see her in an arena solo than a stadium IMHO.

We were both at that wildy Wild Heart show in the Burgh in 1983

****as she drags her floor monitor across the stage***

OMG! yes, That was a drugged out performance if there ever was one. I think she was supposed to go on DVE for an interview and later they said she wasn't "feeling well" LOL. What a great night. I was way in the back on the side and could hardly tell what she was talking about but she kept saying the sound was off and women had a right to change their minds or something to that effect. My first Stevie show!! Rock a Little was crazy too.
