Is it legit touring behind a greatest hits cd????

Someone said that it's ripping off the fans when you tour behind a greatest hits cd. Agree or disagree??????

Disagree...it's a tour that's the bottom line...

oh please! bands tour all the time without supporting a new album.

I don't get the logic behind the "ripping off fans" notion. Unless I missed a memo, we still have free-will to choose whether or not we spend our money, and on what.

Many artists tour in support of a greatest hits cd. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Well, the last GH tour she did was for Enchanted and that your was likely the best tour she ever did given the set list alone:

Outside The Rain
Dreams
Enchanted
Gold Dust Woman
Gold and Braid
Stop Draggin' My Heart Around
After The Glitter Fades
Garbo
Rose Garden
Sleeping Angel
Stand Back
Rhiannon
(Band Intros)
Whole Lotta Trouble
Landslide
Twisted
Edge of Seventeen
I Need to Know (encore)
Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You (encore)

I dont have no problem with a tour behind a "greatest hits" package.

Hell, when you think about it ALL artists 'technically speaking' tour in support of the a "greatest hits package", the hits from the past that the average (In Stevie Nicks fandom venacular the "non-chiffonhead") want but the diehards will become tired of.

Most artists do. I dont see what the problem with it would be>
Id rather an artist DID tour to promote a GH

( as upposed to not),
Im excited to see and hear her again.

If you think about it, the vast majority of people who attend concerts are going for the hits. So it's kind of a strange point to debate.

Were you alive back then?

I absolutely can't believe Stevie did songs like "Twisted" and "Garbo" and kept them in the setlist the entire tour. What an incredible tour that was.

I was only 8 at the time, but I can remember a hell of a lot of it. It seriously was such a fun show!

That tour was my very first stevie show I remember being in the 5th row and blown away. I really wish she would do another tour like that one. It really was magical not to knock TISL or GD but Enchanted was just special. I'd personally wish she would do more soundtrack songs live you have sleeping angel and twisted on that tour. I'd die if she ever got sheryl to tour with her and do If I Ever Did Believe, which I am perplexed at why it isn't on the greatest hits and was never done live.

JazmenFlowers · #15 03-14-2007, 10:10 PM

of course it's legit...why wouldn't it be? I mean, what's the argument here?
