Sing along Karaoke with Stevie Nicks. All she needs is the bouncing ball.

I think she probably gets nervous and by having the lyrics in front of her she feels better.

She had teleprompters at all her SYW shows and solo shows. I thought that was sort of a widely known fact. They are word for word - I mean every single ahhhhh, and ohhhhh, is on it. (I've been off to the side of her at the stage and been able to see it during the show). During Tusk at one of the SYW shows, I saw it... and even all the TUSKS! are on it (like, duh, who's going to forget to yell Tusk?) It even says "Welcome _____ (insert city name here)" depending where they are. I think it's a nerves thing, too. She hardly looks at it. I think she's nervous because she did forget so many words back in her hazy, druggy days. I think it's a security thing more than anything.

I think it's actually pretty standard these days - they ALL have them.
But I'm suddenly having visions of Stevie back in 1981 or so,
if they had used the monitors back then:

"WEL-come! In-sert . . . city name . . . . HERE!

"

Seriously, though, I think there may be a more practical, reasonable purpose for them -
suppose Stevie got distracted by something? (for example, a drunk nutbar running up on
stage, a loud noise, Lindsey getting uppity, or the be-all-end-all of Stevie Nicks distractions - CUTE PUPPIES!!!)
She'd want to have a way to quickly figure out where she is and what to sing next.
Obviously she could do that from listening to the other musicians but if she's upset,
nervous, distracted, etc., a quick glance at the monitor might be much more helpful.

Maybe she just wanted to go to a party? Maybe she went beause Don wanted her to? Maybe she just went because hse had nothing better to do that night? Maybe she did give a hertfelt performance herself?

Amen. And I thought it was interesting that she sang Gold Dust Woman
for uhhmmm how do I phrase this without being politically incorrect?
Ah, screw it - for That Crowd. Suppose there's even a SLIGHT chance
she saved some rich kid's life by doing that?
More power and money to 'er, as far as I'm concerned.
She prob'ly just blew off her bills and sent it to Katrina relief ANY-way!
(or maybe she just selfishly spent it on herself - again, more power to 'er)

( psssst . . . It's called "generational wealth." Think "Carnegie Foundation" - and all the good that flows from it. )

I agree. WHHOOOO-EEEEE, PARTY AT MY house!!!!

Kelly · #54 12-05-2005, 07:55 AM

I agree Cat, she has used telepromotors at every gig I have attended since 1996..in the park in Boston. All SYW shows, all solo shows. I only saw her glance at it once or twice, only to see the city name or something. She always uses them so this is nothing shocking or something. Security blanket, just like the ribbons, black dress and Mr. B.

SteveMacD · #55 12-05-2005, 02:40 PM

Jerry Berry Garcia was using them towards the end. If the Dead can get away with it, why not Stevie?

Not for nothing, but if she is using a teleprompter, then there is absolutely no reason whatsoever that she can't do new and different songs at her shows. I used to think she didn't do different songs because she was afraid of screwing up (like I remember her doing on the SA tour). No more! They rehearse for the tours, and she knows the propters are there! Give us something different!

That is true but it is her choice. I think she would rather sing it from her heart because I wouldn't really like it if she looked at the teleprompter for a special song, IMO.

you people need to get a grip - stop whining over everything. so she has teleprompters...woo hoo, big deal.

Let me ask you a question, do you think that these people need advice from you?

Seriously, what the fug?

I'm not offering advice, oh wise one. I was simply saying everything of late becomes a bitchfest and nitpicking everything from her makeup to her hair to her choice of songs to this to that and now it's over the freaking teleprompter. It's getting old.
