Why can't she just release a damn album and tour with that!? We don't need another Gold Dust Tour!

Well unless she decides to do the ole creatively spent standby of a standards album ,you actually have to write and record songs to produce a new album and although she says she has alot of raw material ,mostly written on the SYW tour, there is no indication that she has done anyhing (save for a song about Hurricane Katrina which no one seems to be able to obtain any further info on ) in neary 4 years .This is a worse drought than during the Klonopin years ..What happened to the mad songwriter of those glory years of 1975-1983 or even the semi -prolific songwriter of the post Klonopin years through SYW? It is kind of depressing that she would just stop cold but still has the energy to tour in some form every year.

Maybe that greatest hits compilation is coming out next year and she's touring behind that. Which won't result in any different set list or anything.

I would rather have new music also, but quite happy Stevie is performing every year.

I'm not complaining that she tours every year.I'm glad that she is healthy and energenic enough to do it.What bewilders me is that for someone who has said that songwriting is her first love and lamented the years that Klonopin took her creativity is now doing nothing in that area when she appears to have all her wits about her.Maybe it could be that she is too stable and grounded to look off into space and have those wonderful words and melodies come back to her like they did so often once?

It is certainly perplexing.

I think what Stevie is going to do is kick off with a release of a Best Of with some live track or new tracks and debut it with a DREAMS show in Vegas in March, then start with a tour from maybe late May to late August doing the arena and amphitheatres thing she's been doing. Gold Dust Tour III...

Or LONG WAY TO GO TOUR

Maybe she will release something...i mean, it's not impossible. Of course, we probably won't find out the full details for a long time, unless something leaks. I just can't see her having another tour having nothing to support. She's seemed to have gained alot of fans and excitment from both The Gold Dust Tour and TP's tour. She has a huge backlog of unreleased songs (as we all know) and she could have been working on something since late 2005.

^^True...True...All I know is that she's really going to surprise us on this next tour...it's going to be good!!!

I think alot of this talk about Stevie doing the exact same setlist for a 2007 tour as she did in '05 is a little silly. Stevie has never done the same setlist for back to back tours. The Gold Dust Tour was different from the TISL tour, the TISL tour was different from the Enchanted tour, etc etc. Of course she'll always do the standards (as she should), but there will be changes in the setlist (whether it be with new material or with older more obscure material).

I think the Gold Dust Tour in general was just something she threw together at the last minute. It was really just supposed to be the Two Voices Tour, but then when Don walked away, she renamed it the The Gold Dust Tour and carried on. I can't see her planning a full 2007 tour and not putting out a new release to accompany it..

... just my opinion

I have been following this woman's career for close to 3 decades .Even long before there was an internet some news of her working in a studio or names of songs or album titles would leak out sometimes years before the actual release or in many cases the songs themselves in demo form .This time there has been nothing .zilch .nada ..Not even a single new copyrighted song since SYW.I don't believe she is working on anything new nor for the most part has at all since the SYW sessions.

Hey all
does anyone know at this point where she will be touring? just USA i suppose

SandyMac · #27 11-05-2006, 11:19 PM

Stevie just loves to keep us all guessing. In a way it is really frustrating, but on the other hand, that is the mystery that surrounds her. I really do hope she has something up her sleeve on this one though.

I really would like to hear the song about Hurricane Katrina since she said it is more upbeat. (I am speculating that is is a song about overcoming life's bumps in the road).

Ding ding ding. If you aren't having tempestuous romances, crazy drug binges, and high drama - what's to write about ? Stevie readily admits she only writes about her own life, or the lives of those very close to her, so what's to write about, really? I know someone is going to holler about her dad, but that is not the kind of thing that one always has the distance to write about so soon. I mean, for Frank's sake, why the hell do ya think she is still writing about Lindsey 30 years later? No better material, one can only assume. I sometimes wish she really had become best friends with Courtney Love. Talk about some drama to inspire you.
Or a least stayed tight with Sheryl. Shattered romance with an athlete, breast cancer, a flop album...Sheryl ought to put ought a great record soon. She's full to the gills with drama and strife.

I really think Stevie loves touring a lot more then working in the recording studio, where Lindsey is just the opposite, although he really enjoyed himself on the SYW tour and on his current tour, although look how short his tour is, so he can go back into the studio in 07. Stevie has had plenty of time since the SYW tour ended to start an album but has opted to play shows in vegas tour with Don Henley continue 2005 touring solo and what does she do in 2006? Tag along on the Tom Petty tour, just there for the ride rocking out giving really probably the best performances she's given in the 21st century. If being on stage performing is what she's into right now, then I say go for it Stevie. Nows the time anyway. She can always decide as late as her freaking 70's that she wants to record again and it would be totally possible, but she probably couldn't tour then.
