And so is the usual Stevie Defense Brigade routine. I'm glad we can all fill our little niches.

What is truly ironic is that after the Tusk tour, in some interview, Stevie mention that she was so Rhiannoned and Landslided out that she didn't want to ever sing them again. Or something to that effect.

I know - in fact, I actually feel sorry for her in this regard. But, she has cut those from her sets before. I think she did not do either at the zombied out TOSOTM show I saw and she did not do landslide for TISL. I remember many people in my section of a few of the TISL shows I saw were all pissed off that she did not do Landslide - so go figure. In the end, I think she is correct regarding the hits and the vast majority of people wanting to hear them live - but I do wish she would mix it up more.

There's still time. Maybe she'll do a "F*ck The Casual Fans" tour where she plays nothing but rarities and deep album cuts. The tour t-shirts will have that picture of her flipping us all off on it.

Edit: okay, I just realized that this should go on in the "Fan Concert Fantasy" thread.

If I'm not mistaken, Stevie didn't do Landslide in several solo tours in the 80's. She definitely didn't do Rhiannon in TOSOTM. She came out for the encore, sang one line and said "you sing the rest", then did HAEWFY and left. I turned to the person next to me and said "what, no Rhiannon"? These days, it would be more like "Hooray, no Rhiannon!"

I've been reading the threads on this non-event. I've worked in special events, and have dealt with noteworthy bands that have been hired to do such events (I swear - I'm not bragging...Kool and the Gang, The Bee Gees...please)...

Although the events I've helped set up were corporate and private, the one thing I learned from the folks at the William Morris agency (the group we worked with) is you NEVER....EVER...advertise and solicit money for an event proclaiming to have a major artist performing unless you have a signed contract with them. I'm sure Brian (or whomever it was who was trying to arrange this) meant well...this is supposed to be a Seven Wonders/Fan gathering...but he should have NEVER said that Stevie would appear unless it was sign, sealed and delivered. Not only does it dupe the fans, and dash their hopes, it also sends a negative message to Stevie and her people that certain fans (well intentioned or not) are making promises on behalf of Stevie that she cannot keep. This will make her less likely to ever want to do a private event for fans in future.

I also highly doubt that NicksFix put out this statement because they couldn't work out a deal. If so, they would have said so. It's a rumor - as they state. All artists get requests like this through their agent or manager; but it usually goes through their assistant. They in turn will tell the requestor they will consider it, and basically put it in the back of the pile. The organizer probably thought he got thru, felt confident it could happen, and then took it too far by announcing something that probably didn't even get past Stevie's agent.

s'all I'm sayin.....

I guess I'm in the minority that actually is ok with the evolution of Rhiannon. nothing will ever beat the Rhiannon's of the 70s/early 80s, but I like the way she does it now too. it seems to be much more sensual and intense in some ways.

I think I'll have a ciggy now.

of course, just my opinion.

Well said! If you're tired of Stevie's "sad old performances" then here is a novel idea - don't pay to go see them. I have never been anything but blown away and touched at every once of her performances....nothing tired or sad about her or her performances IMO.

Johnny Cash style! All scrunching her up her nose and mouth, with fire in her eyes!

Or she could just go back to the happy middle ground, like she did in '98...

But that isn't a novel idea. People like me and Dissention don't pay to go see them.
