New Game: Be Stevie's Tour Director: 1981, Bella Donna Tour

Musicman408 · #1 05-26-2010, 06:27 PM

So here's a new little game. It will be the same for every round/album. We're starting with the Bella Donna Tour.

Here's the premise. Stevie has released the Bella Donna album and is getting ready to start her tour, and she has hired you as the manager/musical director. Your job is to determine the set list for the tour. You can pick up to 17 songs, and obviously they have to be songs that are from that time period or before. Also, put them in the order they would appear in the show!

So, without further ado, here is MY Bella Donna Tour Set List:

1 Crying In The Night
2 Think About It
3 Outside the Rain
4 Dreams
5 Angel
6 Sisters of the Moon
7 Gold And Braid
8 After The Glitter Fades
9 Sara
10 Bella Donna
11 Blue Lamp
12 Kind of Woman
13 How Still My Love
14 Storms
15 Edge of Seventeen
16 Landslide

Play Away!!!

Why mess with perfection? That tour had the best setlist in history.

Really very good. I LOVE the segue into HSML, very clever. And closing with Highwayman.

I'll have to post one tomorrow.

Thank you. HSML had the same vibe as Dreams.

I might debate that...but coming off OTR, I think it probably works.

I always liked OTR/Dreams on the WH tour. OTR ends, and that beat starts and then Roy Bittan, I think it is, plays a couple of bars on the piano, but you can't tell what it is. It sounds like something new. But as soon as "Now there you go again" starts, the audience just goes nuts. That Outside the Rain and Dreams thing was definitely most effective on the Wild Heart tour.

Almost perfect, but I like to suggest to switch ATGF and Highway Man and replace ATGF with I Need To Know, go out with a bang! And because I love that version of I Need To Know.

Good change! After I posted my set list I realized I completely forgot 'I Need to Know.'
