Honey I heard her sing that "Well babe you've taken all my dreams, isn't that enough" at Red Rocks on The Timespace Tour live into the mic, no ear monitor and no help from the girls. I got chills. It sounded just like the RAL recording. She also did a blazing version of Rhiannon with the "all the same" part sung in the higher register. It's the last time I remember really hearing her sing the sh*t out of it.
If she hadn't smoked, she might still be able to do that but I digress. I think Talk To Me now would lack punch.

I hear you on this one!!! Why, when the set list is this short, would she include these covers??? She should be singing her own things!!! And to reply to the other posts, I also agree that we will probably not hear BC again, at least solo. That seemed like something special that she did with FM and will more than likely save it to sing with them. The SYW tour was the first time in 25 years that she ever sang it live and even stated that she never thought and always wanted to sing it!!! So that, IMO, is her special FM song to sing! Likewise with Sara. Hasn't sung it live since Robin died. IMO, it was Lindsey that convinced her to sing it again...so if we ever hear it after SYW, it'll be with FM!!!
As far as other things that she could be singing solo, I too am disappointed that she added landslide. That song is so dull and burnt out, but like you all said, she HAS to play the hits for the majority- Dreams, Rhiannon, GDW, Landslide. But really, what would a stevie show be without rhiannon or gdw??? IMO, instead of adding landslide, she could have added another slower song, such as Bella Donna or Kind of Woman. She said that she wanted to do songs that she hasn't done in a long time...well there you go sister...it's slow, the key is still within her range, and people would go crazy over it...I know I would!!! Everyone has been saying for years, "when will she sing SOTM again???" Well, the key changes a bit much, the notes go to high and I just don't think she has the energy for it anymore. So, a friend and I were talking about it one day and said, hey, why not do the piano version of it??? It wouuld still be the song, but it would be slower so she can handle it, the key is a bit lower, and she wont have to put alot of energy into it!!!! I would DIE to hear a piano/acustic version of that!!!
Wow...I wrote alot....these are just my thoughts, so I'll stop now so you can give your eyes a break...LOL!!!

Sara was sung for the entire Wild Heart Tour and part of the Rock A Little Tour.
As for performing Sara on the SYW tour, didn't Mick say he brought up the idea of her doing that?

Hi I like hearing Dreams,GDW,Landslide,edge of 17 and Rhiannon a milion times.
I would like to hear After the glitter fades. talk to me .rooms on fire.Nightbird
and alot more to list. I don't mind when she does covers like Circle Dance and the Led zep tune which I rather hear her sing Stairway to Heaven instead.

We must have different definitions of lucid. I saw her at the beginning and end of the tour. Slug and slug. And the video ? Zombiethon.

You caught good nights, I am thinking.

Oh I forgot about the RAL tour...my bad....I can't recall who brought it up to her...I am just guessing that MAYBE lb was the one who convinced her to do it...

Plus, La Nicks graduated into the Klonopin addiction and later added lots of valium, etc. - at least according to her. So, I tend to think she is correct when she says most of TOSOTM was written by the time it really started to get to her. I personally think her really bad years were 1989 to 93 as that was when she looked like a total mess on stage, though she did not look that messy for the BTM show I saw in Dallas.

She actually looked great on the BTM Tour. Perhaps she lessened her dosage and was trying to wean herself off?

I believe Mick said he brought it up. Of course, Mick has said lots of things.

Ok I have to chime in on this thread because as most people know this is my favorite era. First off I want to say that I got this recording of some guy talking to her on the phone from 96 after one of those benefit shows she did. The guy said something about ghosts and how it affected him and she said that was truly her favorite album. Now I don't know if she was saying this to comforthim or really telling the truth.

I don't think that her voice could really handle talk to me these days even though I would love to hear it. I don't understand why she doesn't do anything from OSOTM or SA anymore. I'd rather hear something from OSOTM but I like a lot off SA too.

Another thing, a lot of the OSOTM masters were dated in late 88 if that means anything and the songs sounded very finished to me at that point.

One more thing, when OSOTM and SA came out she did a good amount of songs from that album. I was surprised she included Docklands and Destiny. iwas also surprised that Alice and Juliet made the OSOTM set. Same with the TISL set. She did a ton of songs from that album (even if they didn't play that well). Another idea I thought of was maybe her management only allows her to do a certain amount of songs. Maybe the band members have an opinion?

My 2 cents

Jimmy

Hahaha.

Actually a lot of the weight gain came at the end of the BTM tour. If you pull out your vegas 90 dvd you can see she was actually pretty skinny near the beginning of the tour. I thought she looked great in the skirt and it was a nice change of pace for her.

I think so too. In fact, I think Stevie tends to start off touring thinner then she ends up at the end of the tour - present tour accepted as of now. I mean she was very thin the beginning of SYW when the DR doc was filmed - but she was noticeably heavier - though still lovely - a year and a half later. Same for TISL.

I think she was actually at her skinniest since the 80's at the begining of the SYW tour. Look at how tiny she is on opening night in the Destiny Rules doc. She must have gained 30 pounds on the SYW. Now, I think she has lost about half of it. She is still no where near how thin she was in the Spring of 2003 though.
