I don't believe she did. OTR didn't come back til the 2008 dates.

Anything else is fair game.........[/QUOTE] wrote the thread-starter!

I agree with all of those, and even about OTR, though I have to admit that over the years, Outside The Rain seems to get her game - or her voice- or attitude, a little on fire, so I could stand it, but please just not the awful segue into 'Dreams'. 'Enchanted' drags now and needs to go, it's very 'old lady sounding' to me, and just clunks along, but it didn't back in 1983, when it rocked a little!
Please, just once in her entire career, save 'Dreams' as a pen-ultimate next to closer, or for an encore. It dreadful for me knowing it always has to be gotten out of the way so soon, and I think it's deadened any impact "Dreams" has when performed live, it's like she's sleepwalking through it. "Well here I go again, for 30 wah-hun years in ay row- 'Dreams' is 2 or 3 at ev-ery show".

I'd also love 'Rhiannon' to be left as a "signature Fleetwood Mac song" since I haven't heard a Rhiannon of any 'oh yes' quality since the 'Street Angel' tour, when she sang it really well. I don't believe it will get cut, and there's always a chance she'll work out a way to improve upon it.

Not that I'll be going to see Stevie in Auguest, but Rhiannon needed to be retired about 30 years ago now.

Oh, the ending of Rhiannon was great on Street Angel's 1994 tour, so better than what it has been for 13 years now, since The Dance.
'she rings like a bell through the night, and wouldn't you love, wouldn't you love, wouldn't you luh-huve to-who lovvve-her. (Crouching down to the stage with her arm and hand out-stretched as the stage went dark) It was so torchy, and the best ending to Rhiannon' she'd done since when she could really sing the f*ck out of it, up until about 1980 or 82.
It seems musically fitting to return to an early lyric in the song, draw it out for effect, which was wonderful, than to use the cloying 'don't leave me now' ending she favors now.
But I definitely could live without it, and the classical piano intro has worn out its welcome, for me.

[Hawkeye]

Enchanted!!!!!!!!!!
Crash
If Anyone Falls
Beauty and the Beast
Rock and Roll
Landslide

Also of course it'd be cool she ever decided to sit Dreams and Rhiannon on the bench but its just not realistic. Landslide is on my main list because it was never a solo standard never done on the TISL tour and not done on the first dozen Gold Dust Show. But who knows maybe its now a sacred song due to her father's death. Really the number one song I better not see on that set is Enchanted. Unlike Dreams and Rhiannon there's no excuse for its presence. Stick with the 2008 mentality Stevie and do OTR and not Enchanted. And I want my encores both Rock and Roll and BATB free.

I totally agree. The SA Rhiannons were awesome. I also remember some "Once in a million years a lady like her rises" endings during the Street Angel tours. They were pretty amazing as well. And yes, the piano intro has gotten very tired.

I think the following should not be a part of her shows this time around:
( song in parenthisis is what I would Replace it with)
- Enchanted (angel)
- Sorcerer (Rooms on Fire)
- Fall From Grace (talk to me)
- Beauty & The Beast (Somebody Stand By Me)
- I Need To Know (Free Fallin..if there must be a Petty Cover)
- face the Promise (No Spoken Word)
- Circle Dance ( Rose Garden)
- Rock & Roll (I Cant Wait...yeah i know theres no shot in hell here)
- If Anyone Falls (seven wonders)
- Landslide (Everyday)
- Gold Dust Woman (Sisters of the Moon)
- Dreams (Sable on Blonde)

Songs to keep:
Stand Back ( but not as the opener...kick of the encore with it)
Edge of 17 ( final closer of the encore not the show proper)
Rhiannon (go back to at leas the street angel tour version)
Outside the Rain (as the show opener where it belongs)

I would seriously start balling my eyes out and totally lose my **** if I ever saw her perform Rooms on Fire!

What i MEANT was i WISHED she HAD done Outside The Rain for Soundstage, cause live it ROCKS! And it b nice to have a "newer-sounding" one in a nice clear professionally recorded way.

[cactusjack]

Definite NO to Dreams, but I would love to have a full Outside The Rain (NO SEGUE INTO DREAMS, NO, NO, NO!)

If that happened, I think 90% of us would be the happiest Stevie fans EVER!!!

Gotta disagree with a couple of the songs on that list--Angel is largely associated with Lindsey in Fleetwood Mac in terms of it's performance and harmony; I don't see ANYONE in Stevie's band filling in for Lindsey. And I definitely don't see anyone being happy about someone else singing that song with Stevie. Seven Wonders, in my mind, is solidly stamped "Fleetwood Mac Only," as is Sisters Of The Moon. John McVie should definitely be on those cases.

I'd like to see Stevie open with something that will totally change the rhythm of her solo outtings but don't know if it will happen for these four shows. This might just be more promo for Soundstage or Crystal Visions--from a set list that she has 'sitting on a shelf' in the place she is storing the "Two Voices" set list with Don Henley .

Cactus, I totally agree with you.
