1. Thousand Days

4. Wild Heart
5. Bella Donna
6. Rooms On Fire
7. I Sing For the Things
8. Gate and Garden
9. After the Glitter Fades
10. Stand Back
11. Outside the Rain
12. Blue Lamp
13. Leather and Lace
14. My Heart
15. One More Big Time Rock and Roll Star
16. Edge of Seventeen
17. The Nightmare
18. Has Anyone Ever Written

I guess never

2,11 & 18 have already been played to death and I never want to hear any of those on a concert stage ever again!! You know it's funny how Stevie will tell a reporter that she can't do non hits on stage. Has Anyone was a single and it bombed yet she has performed that to death for a thousand years. Outside the Rain was never a hit song and it sounded good on the Bella Donna tour, but now enough is enough!! If Anyone Falls is a good album track but it's boring to me onstage. Bring back Nightbird and have Marilyn & Sharon share the vocals center stage. Wild Heart & Bella Donna could be swiped out with Trouble in Shangri La & Talk To Me.

I forgot Free Fallin and For What It’s Worth are on the box set too so they could replace Wild Heart and Bella Donna. Just goes to show you how she feels about Show Them the Way. Three years since it’s release it hasn’t been played live and it’s not on a vinyl or cd pressing.
I don’t think she’ll sing Talk To Me again because she’s probably upset that her biggest hit from Rock a Little was a song given to her by someone who nobody has heard of in a sports arena. Stop Draggin’ was given to her by a legend.

The most obvious to me is After The Glitter Fades. It was the 4th single off her best solo album. It worked really well in her acoustic 1998 Enchanted set. Its also nearing the end of her career which fits the song even more.

We need to remember that she is older and she is not going to do anything daring. Not that when she was younger she did anything daring either.

I was thinking what could Outside the Rain lead into and Blue Lamp was my thought but Sable could also!

Ann Wilson and Bonnie Raitt go out and do setlists that challenge their audience. But Stevie is there to give the people what they want. Wild Heart is a standard now because people saw the YouTube video of her singing to Can’t Go Back. Bella Donna was the title track of her #1 album.

Stevie stopped being an Artist a long, long time ago. She's a Performer, an Entertainer. There has been zero creativity in her or her shows for almost 20 years.

After the TISL Tour, I remember being so let down with her setlists which were almost the same each year and full of cover songs. When In Your Dreams came around everything changed, though I think she could have been more creative with her set on the 2012 leg. To me, the oldies act started with the 24 Karat Gold Tour where she only played 3 songs from the album and honestly, she should’ve had another Songs From the Vault before that tour started considering she finished the FM Tour in November 2015 and didn’t start the tour until October 2016.

What happened to Stevie who said “I don’t care if anybody buys my album, I’m doing it for me”? “I don’t listen to what anyone tells me to do especially if it’s a girl”

Much like many of her fans, she's a numbers gal...

I think Irving got in her hear. And I am devastated that Cher just signed a contract with him which probably means Cher will never do another solo album, but instead an ABBA covers album. I've been waiting 10 years for an album of original album of songs from Cher. Irving is not supportive of artists releasing music.

Look at Billy Joel. Last time he did anything original was 1994. 30 years ago!! He did record 1 cover song for his 1998 Greatest Hits package. Then that was it. He's been Greatest Hits Karaoke performer ever since. Maybe because he got dumped by Christie Brinkley. As he stopped being Creative Stevie started to come back out of obesity/Obscurity.

From 1997 till now she's don't more releases on average than the 17 years before that. Three of those were original albums, most were live concerts and box sets. But there were also one-off soundtrack recording and guest appearances galore!

It is all predictable though. She missed a lot of years 86-97 she could have been productive. Then she squandered the return of her good voice in the 96-2003 era not recording more original material.

Then she transitioned from Fairy Godmother Gypsy into Bitter Miss Havashim Crone over the 2013-2023 time frame. It's kind of pathetic.

Her "I don’t care if anybody buys my album, I’m doing it for me” was basically said ONCE (maybe a few times during the press for the album) after a decade of saying she didn't have any interest in making a record. I remember reading that line and thinking "well somebody must have gotten her ear on a really good day" and I never assumed for a minute it would mean a new burst of creativity. She's always wanted some sort of Cher-like comeback, but doesn't have the material, producers, and ability to put her ego aside to ever make it happen. Then she gets mad when her album performs about as well as a new album from her demographic does and goes back to her "nobody buys albums" slump.

Anyone who can remember the hype about the Las Vegas shows being unlike ANYTHING she's ever done before, both in terms of set list and stage production...we all learned that she lives in a different version of reality than the rest of us.

IMO, the stale sets go all the way back to 2005-2008. Yes, new songs came back into the set after a long time (If Anyone Falls etc) but then they never left, then came the Dave Matthews, Bonnie Raitt, and Led Zep covers.

She also squandered her pandemic time off! After years and years of bellyaching to the press and falling on the sword about postponing her "year off" because of the back-to-back nature of the 2013/2014 Fleetwood Mac tours and making it all about her loyalty to Fleetwood Mac blah blah blah blah

If we want to compare other artists, Bruce, McCartney, and Elton have put out more albums than Stevie from 1997 on.

Bruce’s last album was 2022. McCartney’s was 2021. Elton’s was 2021. Stevie’s was 2014.

Her pandemic release of Show Them the Way bombed so I think that made her sad. She could have had an album ready to tour this year.

And just to please the Lindseyhaters, I don’t know what’s taking him so long to announce an album.
