I also remember that she didn't get the gig.
I honestly feel that Stevie doesn't really have a clear understanding of what's possible (and expected...) these days when it comes to those types of things. It's almost as if she's sayinig to herself, "WOW - this is 2010, it's AMAZING what's possible!!!" and yet what she has in mind is around 1985-level, technology-wise. That's my impression, anyway.

yeah, GT, I agree with the Vegas stuff... I remember her saying that they "created a new world for each song" or something like that because it was such a large stage, and all it was was the regular show on a big stage! She is really clueless sometimes it seems.

NOT AT ALL!!

Oh gawd - Chris Nicks’ web site is a laff! Old Stevie tour t-shirts go for like $200+, along with his ‘beautiful’ (using the word VERY loosely) snapshots of the Arizona desert.

Ok but that wasn't said by me at all. Yes, I have mentioned that in many threads only because I feel that Stevie & Mac could do more but it is there choice to not so theres not much that can be done about it. Also.....I do like her 80's tourbooks (but my favorite is WH) ....SA isn't bad either but the rest could've been better. Plus I don't think or believe I post that 'in' every thread only the one's asking for opinions. I didn't know I was always suppose to agree with everyone.

This is one of the things that sucks about being a Stevie fan, there is SO much that could be done with marketing her (re-issued CD's, DVD's, tour merchandise etc) that other bands do. It's too bad that Stevie and the fans are getting shafted.

But with that said I do agree with you ...plus I'm also not online everyday or all the time here. Sometimes I don't post anything......people can be so cruel just because you don't agree with them. Sad but true.....

What's scary is that there's a bill in Washington right now that's within a few votes
of being passed. Bill 1313 will force everyone who attends a concert to buy a tour
book.

Oh, and I do agree that Stevie's tour books pretty much stink.
Though I do like "The Wild Heart" program.

I was really disappointed that we didn't get a nice new band photoshoot for the Unleashed tour instead of the old SYW pictures. Which looked very nice, to be fair, but still, some new pics for the posters would have been nice.

I agree especially on the unleashed tour i found the tour merchandising not too great only did pick up was the lithograph posters with venue,city and date on them which i though was a great idea even though they use the same photo from the promo of SYW from 2003. probably stevie's last good tour book was Rock A Little i want to say the past few tour books have not been great was dissappointed with the books Rock A Little was awesome tour book i though. We know she has tons of pics we have not seen that i am sure are fabulous even recent ones too. I did not buy a T-Shirt on this last tour just lithograph posters and book bag and baseball cap red that is it. I think if she releases a new cd and tours hope they will put together a great tour book and new photos to put on tour shirts too.

you know what they should have done was have people send in there concert pics you go on the web and even on this board and alot of people have taken awesome pics from the shows and pic out a few put them in a tour book would be nice i think and on tour merchandise too and maybe the photographer of the pic should get some nice cash thrown at them too.

I'm so angry at myself for not getting one of these
