Default Favorite Cover Song

Its pretty amazing, but not too hard to believe that it was so easy to fill this poll up. I tried to stick with just the covers that have been released on either CD or DVD. Thats why I made an other. That would include your At Lasts and Red River Valleys etc.

One of the best performances I feel Stevie has given in recent memory cover or not is Face the Promise. And this might be the fifth time Im saying this, but really it was more like Stevie was playing a new rocking song of hers as opposed to a cover since it was such an obscure Bob Segar song. For any big Segar fans out there its another cover, but to me its no different then if she had played Docklands, Its Only Love, Cry Wolf or Sometimes its a Bitch in concert.

If not for Face the Promise I would've picked I Need To Know, or Woodstock, which I didn't include but I really wish she would do that one again.

I think I might be in the minority, but Stevie's insistance to include at least one cover (sometimes way more) in all her sets doesnt bother me. People complain that she doesnt try new things in her set, but when she pulls something liek Face the Promise out of no where we hear "Oh you have so many of your own songs you could be playing" Rock and Roll was also really exciting initially although I wish she would retire it now.

My first choice for Stevie's new tour would be for her to playt never before or rarely played songs of her own, but if not I'd support her decision to include a new cover. BUT if I see ****ing Crash is wasting a spot in the set I might protest going to Verona!

Didn't like it live, but Crash sounded really hot on Soundstage. It's not my favorite though.

Although I truly love most of them, it was really a toss up between 'I Need To Know' and 'Circle Dance' to me...I went with INTK for sentimental reasons - she's been doing it so long in concert, it's practically no longer a TP song...BUT I absolutely love CD too...

OH! and what CD or DVD is 'Face The Promise' on? I didn't think that was officially released on anything??? Am I behind the times on something?

I absolutely love Circle Dance. I hadn't heard it until the Soundstage aired- and it was my favorite song!

I voted for Circle Dance but I need to make this very clear - I'm not voting for the Sound Stage version w/ Vanessa Carlson. It was 100x better when she did it solo on the Gold Dust tour. She changed it a lot for Sound Stage and it lost so much IMO. Anyway Circle Dance solo is nothing short of perfection. She made that song her's while still honoring Bonnie as I mentioned before. Just an all out fabulous cover full of emotion and beautiful music. And the lyrics ring so true to me.

The list should have included ' Needles and Pins,' a great live duet with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. It was released as a single - I have it! I would have voted for that one. That should have also been on her box set (along with many others). And...when did she sing Woodstock?

I picked "I need to know" it was my fave since the HBO special.
The others listed ,like recent tour could be not on this next tours set list ,probably wont put up a fuss about if they were not played.

The underrated "I still Miss Someone" is my vote. My second fav track from that album.

Free Falling is the best. Wish she'd do it live.

That's so funny. I can't stand her version! I mean I don't really like the original so it's kind of not fair but I think her's is awful and off key. I can't believe I'm saying that about my woman but it's how I feel!

Agreed... very sensuous on Soundstage, but all other versions I've heard totally suck (including when I've heard it live in person). Thus, I can't really vote in this poll
