I just arranged the Boston-area release party for Friday, June 27 at Club Cafe. The following Friday is July 4, so that wouldn't work.

OOO release party!! I'll see if I can get up there

Oh fantastic! I will be in Colorado that week. I leave July 2nd and it would be nice to have Soundstage to take with me on the plane.

I'm afraid I have to agree here. This is much too little much too late for me.

I'm nowhere near the fan I used to be. I hated SYW and I can't say I'm much of a FM fan at all anymore. I'd prefer the band break up and never put out another record like that again and the respective members put out their own solo records. I'd much rather hear an entire new album from Lindsey and an entire new album from Stevie. And if Christine wants to put out more new music, well, all the better.

My Stevie fandom is seriously waning as well. I haven't cared for any of her solo shows since 2001. Everything from 2005 on is the same old, same old. Same old tired songs, different day. Throwing "Crash" into the setlist didn't help. That song was bad enough the first time around. I don't know why Stevie thought she could make it any better and make a bad song good. The last truly great tour she did was the Enchanted tour in 1998. It had old favorites, new favorites and songs that had never been done live before. She took chances then. She could take chances now if she wanted to but it doesn't seem that she wants to.

I used to expect a lot from Stevie and FM and they used to deliver. None of them seem to be inspired anymore. I have to give Lindsey credit for his work with UTS and the supporting tour. At least he wanted to do something new and accomplished what he wanted. He actually performed an interesting setlist with new and old favorites and a few surprises. Stevie can't or won't compete with that now.

I keep checking the boards and a few sites every day in hopes that there will be something new and exciting to renew my liking of the band and its members but every day it's the same old disappointments. I find myself moving on to other bands and artists that aren't afraid to take chances and create new and exciting music instead of staying with what they find "safe".

It used to bother me when I would tell someone that my favorite band was Fleetwood Mac and my favorite singer was Stevie Nicks and they'd say "you like who??" then laugh and make jokes about what "has been's" they all were. That doesn't bother me anymore because the joke isn't that far off now.

Agreed. Im gonna buy a couple, and hand em out.
Look out Friends and Family, cause Christmass is commin early this year!

I may go rinnging random doorbells, and leave a copy swaddeled in a blanket in a basket. Along with a sign reading
"WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?"

[gold-dusted]

Well, I also have to agree with saintbernard (Hi:-)....no Rick Vito anymore?). The Stevie and Mac thing is not the way anymore as it was years ago. After 11 months I took the time to take a look at the boards here again just to see what's going on. I actually didn't take alot of time for Stevie and Mac the past few monts. I bought here and then few articles at eBay for my collection. I've met so many people through 20 years of fan being and I've noticed that many of them aren't fan anymore. Many of the homepages I used to visit daily years ago are shut down. It's sad to see this, especially for the fact that some of the earlier Stevie fans were so nice and I really loved it to talk to them. This means not that the current Stevie fans are not nice. It's just that I "grew" up with the 80s Stevie fans who aren't fan anymore or are not that addicted anymore. Sure it's boring to listen to the same old tired songs and it's boring that nothing really new seems to come in but I never would regret the time I had with all the fans out there. I had good and bad times with them but it worthed it to met them anyway. Best wishes, Melanie

It wouldn't happen to be shipping out with my copy of Volume 1 and 2 of Titanic: The Ship Magnificent, would it?

I do understand what your saying here. Theres nothing wrong with express your opinion even if others don't like it. I've been a Fmac/Stevie fan for over 20 yrs and I'm feeling some of the same frustrations that you are. Maybe the 'new' younger fans can't really understand. I to feel that Stevie has put herself in a box so to speak. She only plays the same setlist of songs over and over again cause she doesn't want to break out anymore from her own comfort zone. I don't think its not that your not a 'fan' so to speak.....it's like some think its wrong to say how you may feel about your favorite artists. But they do disappoint at times. I feel that when Stevie started out with her solo stuff.....I think she was gonna try to get alot of music out but it seems after the 80's were over alot changed. She hasn't released much new music (solo wise really) other than SA and TISL....not counting the endless compilations : TS/Enchanted/CV.....I love Enchanted and the CV DVD but the rest well....its really nothing 'new'....I am also like you in expecting much but not getting anything ....I'm thinking solo wise...this will possibly be my last solo Stevie concert. Personally, I don't think Stevie likes her own music anymore since she only wants to sing the same songs over & over again. If she truly did she would in turn take MORE chances in that regard but she has chosen not to over the years. Heck even FMac would do like the same setlist over & over again too. How sad for both artists to not sing more of maybe the not so famous songs. I think any song off an LP/cd can be done if you want it to be done live....if only certian songs can be sung live than well thats a total
shame.....I think its only an excuse to not even 'try' to sing it live. I know Stevie has said that in interviews in the past (don't recall which ones right now though--sorry). I actually like songs that aren't so famous or popular really. I guess were to get this soundstage cd/dvd? In July but it's technically a rashing of the 'hits' all over again. Life goes on....A part of me will always love Stevie & FMac....that is true....but the other part of me is sad by how it all seems to be ending. They could both do much better and serve there fans much better. I'm sure my response is not popular like yours isn't....Maybe other 'older' long time fans don't feel this way? Maybe they do but no matter 'how' you do feel. Feelings change as do the music artists. I'd like them to end there careers on a much higher note. Heck you can record & not tour. It shouldn't be just about the $$ heck they should have tons of $$ but I guess they don't if they keep spending it. If they do keep touring solo or group they need to rethink what they are doing on stage and how they can keep justify the high ticket prices for the same boring setlist. Yes, its our fault for paying it too. I'll never say never.....but its getting pretty close to that right now. Disagree if you must.....Put out a better tour etc. Put some heart into your shows....not just go through the motions. Do it for the die-hard fans.....heck do it for yourself. I could keep going on and on..........

I understand what your saying as well...even though I kinda got started in the late 80's myself (like '88 ) I loved the fanzine's etc (before the Net)...those were the days and penpals...so cool. I couldn't wait for the snail mail....still love getting snail mail though it is much less these days. Yeah, theres alot of great penpals I had that I got from the old Rumours fanzine days...that totally got out of it...Cheryl/Rose....than something happend to them in the early to mid-90's and esp after 9/11....it kinda happend to me some as well.....sometimes I still question my love of Stevie & Fmac music. I guess apart of me will always love it but its not the same as it was some 20 yrs ago. I guess they've changed and so have I......it happens with age I guess. I don't regret the time either. It does have its place thats for sure......those are cherished times not ever forgotten. Best wishes to you as well.....
Part of me hopes that Fmac & Stevie will surprise us yet again. I still have dreams but I think thats all they are.....unreleased material or masters or re-issues.....etc...if you get the drift.....but I'm sure there only dreams.........

It's so ironic...when Stevie is finally coming out with something new, all of a sudden there are fans coming out of the woodwork saying that they're not going to buy it.

I am a far cry from a new fan. I never pre-order. I always buy the day of.
