I agree.

I also think that if the woman can belt out Rock and Roll with high kicks and all, she can handle her own song in such a fashion.

I'm sorry, but we've already established that 'new' and 'intriguing' are not in Stevie Nicks' dictionary anymore.

No, that's not a universal concept for all of us.

Beauty and the Beast

BC

The duets with DH and TP

R&R

Circle Dance

All of that was very interesting to the vast majority, including the hard core fans

This reminds me of the bitching about Tusk. At first everyone thought it was a great album but when it didn't sell like Rumours, everybody blamed Lindsey. Now that SYW didn't sell well, it's because Christine wasn't there.... I agree with Stevie though, SYW did not work. There are a couple of songs that I like but overall I couldn't care less. I never play it. I probably said when it first came out that I loved it but I think that was said in the excitement of having something new from the band.
As for Christine recording with Fleetwood Mac, I don't think that's ever gonna happen. Maybe, just maybe, she'll say 'yes' if the band would be willing to record in England and that's never gonna happen. They all have kids (except for Stevie), they need to go to school, have their own friends etc. They don't want to move their families overseas for a year or longer.
I'll go see them if they'd tour, only because I saw them every chance I had and to say goodbye.

I'm with Strand on SOTM. The Mirage version isn't even my favorite of the song. I like her Tusk Tour versions. The song is just as much about the long guitar solos as her vocals. In fact there are very little vocals involved. I think she could easily handle this song now. There won't be tounges, but she could do a stong vocal. I think she'd have a hard time with Angel, but she could do a mean SOTM. And Danax, you brought up Rhiannon, I don't think she feels the need to even try with that song. The second that guitar intro starts the morons in the audience are hooked, she could gargle water the reast of the song, no onw would notice. She tries harder on songs she needs to push on her fans (FFG, RNR, BC)

Not her idea.

Though new, I personally didn't find the duets with DH all that intriguing. As for TP... well, it's TP. That alone is enough.

R&R

Circle Dance

I'll give you those two, but she's admitted it took a long time for her to get R&R on stage, since she wasn't sure she could pull it off.

Either way, we're talking about the here and now and there's nothing new and intriguing about this last tour of hers. What makes you think she'll breathe life into a 27 year old song for a FM tour voluntarily?

Which is basically what I was saying. Nobody expects it anymore when it comes to Rhiannon, but people would expect it if she did SOTM. Too much pressure.

Hawkeye · #84 05-29-2007, 04:18 PM

I'm sure BC was at least partly her idea.

BlackWidow · #85 05-29-2007, 04:50 PM

I don't think Stevie liked all the focus on Tour - staying onstage for most of the show...etc. The grind really took it's toll on her voice too.

Hawkeye · #86 05-29-2007, 04:57 PM

Going back to the original topic of Stevie not wanting to record without Christine. She's said this before and I don't think she is refering to sales at all when she complains. She's said many times she just wants another girl in the band, she likes the dynamic of her Chris and Lindsey, like many of us here do. Lindsey on the other hand is in love with his 33 and half percent of more space, which makes no sense to me.

I think Christine takes some of the pressure off her - especially vocally.
They really need that third voice now that they are older and voices are thinner and lower.

Because she did with BC - I know you keep saying it was LB's idea, but La Nicks never said she did not want to do it - rather, she has consistently said since like TITN or maybe even before, that with the new songs from the new record and the old standards, there usually is no room for an obscure song. She never said she did not want to do BC.

In the end, only time will tell and all we have to look at is history, which demonstrates that other than this tour, she usually adds a few things when she can.

They had at least four back ups on the SYW tour (the girls and Brett) and I think the some of the other guys may have added as well.

But, I agree, CM is missed.

I didn't say she didn't want to do it. She was obviously thrilled, especially when it turned out she could pull it off so well. I said that it wasn't her idea initially, so it can't be used as an argument in the 'Stevie Nicks is innovative' debate.

Having said all this, I'll gladly eat my own two feet if the next FM tour comes with a roaring rendition of Sisters of the Moon.

I'm just not holding my breath. Certainly not on the song but at this point, not even on a tour.
