Angel live in Portland?

[sleepless child]

I don't see this tour amounting to much. It's the same tired look, same band, same songs. I wish she would drop Free Falling. Why are you still doing this song!? Angel was a great surprise and she only did it once before dropping it. She seems a bit old and fragile on stage. Being 77 is part of the reason and of course what happened to her arm. I thought about going to North Carolina to see her since she isn't coming to Pittsburgh, but I think I'll pass.

Merchandise has been expensive for years. As a fan I bought a couple of t-shirts and a mug in 2009, but prices were already ridiculously expensive. And in 2014, it goes without saying.

I bought the fake FM 2018 tour shirt(the real one- NEW) on ebay, for like $10.

Firing Lindsey is her legacy to FM.

Oh yeah, I've still never worn it.

About $300.00 for average seats and you don't even get a new production. It's the same screens and visuals she's had for nearly a decade. Plus...Angel is already out of the set? I honestly don't know why she bothers to rehearse anything new. 9/10 times it gets the axe within 3 shows.

It’s a stroke of brilliance to open the show with a Buddy Holly classic. Not only is it a good song that Stevie and the band do well, it also carries a nice message for Stevie’s new show.

Wow, Angel is a big surprise. Has Stevie ever removed a song from her solo set on the second night of a tour?

[Andyleo]

What a shame to see Angel disappear from the set so soon. I think she started singing the second verse again when it should have been the outro. Be nice if it came back, but looks like the same tired old set is back again.

Reading the last night setlist in setlist.fm, she didn't sing Angel either.

Angel got the old Running Through the Garden treatment

Which means her "fans" gave her the deer lost in the headlight treatment.

It felt good
She said it was funny that they understood
Which she knew they would
They were all so very, very good but they just did not know the song

Then I guess they don't know Storms either. I loved when she sang it in 2009.

I knew they would(n’t)

Her “fans” have become so painfully accepting of whatever dreck she’s putting out. It’s embarrassing.

A real artist who thinks of her songs as her children would challenge her fans a bit more with the setlist. She’s touching two, TWO, of her solo albums. Nothing post 1983 from one of her albums. That’s just pathetic.

younger generations don't know anything beyond the hits and she'll cater to them as long as they're buying tickets. She's not an artist and hasn't been for a long time now. She's just selling product. It's why she can't write anything worth crap anymore either. She's not out having raging love affairs and that's all she can write about so....no new material. And she's been resting on her laurels for a long time now too.

I watched the BBC documentary about Ozzy Osbourne (there's a second one streaming as well which I haven't watched yet) and he and his family were talking about how bad it got for him (real, serious depression) when his medical stuff made it impossible for him to finish what was supposed to be his big farewell tour. At one point he talked about how you get into that groove of being in the studio, making an album, putting it out, rehearsing for a tour, then touring for months...and when you aren't doing that it's totally disorienting and depressing and all. It deffo made me think of Stevie and how she too is so used to that routine....she complained all during COVID about how bored she was not able to go out and do stuff (neither could real people, stevie) and it made me think how when she WAS so crazy busy for years with solo and FM stuff non stop all she could do was whine about time off and moving to a remote castle on a cliff by the ocean or a mobile home in Malibu by the ocean and just being with her art and her music and her dogs... and she couldn't hack it at all when she was forced to do it. She really did make the music biz her whole life and it's going to be disastrous when she stops. So my bet is she really won't ever stop til she physically can't. And even then she'll do what Ozzy ended up doing, and Joni Mitchell has done-- sit onstage in a big chair and sing.

Yes. However even she could add a couple of songs. I like Pink Floyd so I went to a Roger Waters concert in 2007, because it was announced he'd play the whole Dark Side of the Moon album. But he included 2 or 3 songs not so known, or even from his latest solo material. Artists do that. And she could do that and a couple of those songs will not make her lose audience, and will please her old fans. But, she won't do that.
