Open Letter to Stevie

I agree Enchanted was a fantastic tour, and the set list was wonderful, as it included Rose Garden, Glitter, Sleeping Angel, garbo, Twisted and Gold & Braid. But you also have to make note that it was a longer set list than her usual 14 or 15 songs and she didnt really drop any of her standards to make room for those new songs. I would be all for a longer show that included the standards but also brought out some rare or new material.

Agreed that the setlist was divine, but it's a shame that her vocals were fer ****e on that tour. It's almost a tragedy that she didn't do a setlist like this with her Street Angel-era voice.

I bet alot of people go to see a man or a woman about a horse."go to the bathroom"Or get a beer,when Mick is working his nuts off on his drums on "World Turning"On the set list,I have to agree It gets stale after 3 or more shows.I alway say dont go to who ever is getting tired of the same show.

Dear Stevie,

Even though I was pissed off that you did not perform "Rhiannon" in 1987 (in Texas) and 1989, I've now decided to be selfish and declare that I want you to just drop ALL of your classic hits, the ones played on the commercials for your concerts, and just do a set of fan favourites. Just for me and some other Internet friends. Forget those losers who want to hear "Gold Dust Woman" or "Stand Back" ~ haven't they heard those songs enough already?!?! Who cares if they paid to hear those songs???

Feel free to use this set list I have prepared for you, Stevie, the only one that will satisfy your true fans. Trust me on this, Stevie. The second "Landslide" starts, the Internet bitching will commence with NO end in sight.

Stevie Set List That Will Please The Internet Posters (Nothing Less Will Do!)
1. Wild Heart
2. Angel
3. Smile At You (done circa 1981!)
4. She Still Loves Him
5. Long Way To Go
6. Sable on Blond
7. Long Distance Winner
8. Bella Donna
9. Violet and Blue
10. That's Alright
11. One More Big Time Rock and Roll Star
12. Julia
13. Thrown Down
14. Blue Lamp
Encore:
15. Sisters of The Moon
16. Crystal

Heed my advice, Stevie! NOTHING LESS will satisfy your true fans!!!

[Jondalar]

I'm not going to concerts. I know she is just going to do the same thing over and over again.

[SapphireSister]

Dear Stevie-
Please perform a brand new song you've written recently which you will release on your upcoming solo album to be released this fall and debut it at your Atlantic City show in August.
Thank you.
Lindsay, you're biggest fan.

But can we keep Julia though?

What's funny bout this thread, which also just borders on being RIDONK, is that when you see her...and you're at the show...and Landslide really DOES start...it's just all so good. Who cares how many times you've heard it. It IS magic.

thru dat, bro! I was gonna say the same thing. For me, this summer will be my first Stevie concert. I can't even imagine what it would be like to not experience Edge of Seventeen Live, and all i want to do in my lifetime is hear those opening notes of "Rhiannon" live...chills!

That's exactly how I feel. Who cares if I've heard it a dozen times before--you're in the actual prescence of Stevie Freaking Nicks! For all I care, she could come out and just talk to us for a couple of hours and I'd be happy. Wait....that might be a good idea now that I think about it....

[skuncles]

My point with my original post was that Stevie herself says she loves being able to switch things up but is afraid to actually do so. I'm saying she shouldn't worry about that, just do what she wants to do and we, the fans, will be happy with it regardless. If she really wants to change things up, then she should do so without worrying about it.

[APerfectLie]

For all the people who say she has to perform her hits, tell me, how many of these songs are her staple songs? Enchanted, Crash, Sorcerer, I Need To Know, Circle Dance, Fall From Grace, Rock and Roll. These were all performed on the last tour and my money says the "majority" of the casual concert goers aren't looking for those songs. Nobody is going to walk out pissed because Stevie sang Sisters of the Moon instead of Rock and Roll or I Need To Know, or hell even Fall From Grace or If Anyone Falls. Now, I loved Crash, Enchanted, and Fall From Grace and she hasn't beat those to death like Landslide, but I don't think she has as many "staple songs" as we like to believe. Rhiannon, Dreams, Landslide, Edge, and Stand Back are her main songs that everyone wants to hear. That's five songs that she may feel uneasy about taking out of her setlist, but if you tell Waddy to knock off the long guitar intro to Edge and the long percussion intro to Stand Back, that buys some more time. Keep those five and build a completely new setlist around them and change it up every tour. We love If Anyone Falls, How Still My Love, and Gold Dust Woman, but if you dropped them, us die hard fans would be okay and so would the casual ones. She usually does about 15 songs in each setlist, so hey, those five staple songs and 10 new/rare songs and everyone leaves happy. And hell, interchange Landslide and Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You every few shows.
