Not today, but there were big tours in the distant past I'd have definitely followed if I had had the opportunity--the 1983 Wild Heart Tour, for one.

If anybody has done this, I'd love to hear your experience.

Torri followed a couple of tours awhile back, didn't she? And Bill Gamelson always bragged that he followed the 1991 Timespace Tour. I used to tell him, "Only an unhinged idiot like you would camp-follow the 1991 tour."

Absolutely!
Though she may not change the set list, I would appreciate the very change of a note, or one lyric each night. I am a huge obsessive music listener, and would notice the tiniest change in a phrase, or tempo. So, in a way, the songs would be different each night.
I love Stevie, and would follow her in a New York minute!!

If money totally was not an issue, and it would have not to be to do it the way I'd want to...
Yes, I'd see every show.

[Meowi]

I would rather see Stevie each tour, just one show. That's where the magic is, as she says - that concert is your time from me.

[DavidMn]

I'm sure I'll go to several. Not sure exactly how many, probably somewhere between 5-10.

If I had all the money in thte world I"d have her perfrom for just me and a few close friends and she can donate the money we pay her to the charity of her choice.

Stevie solo, maybe not, though I'd see a few shows. Fleetwood Mac or Lindsey, I'd see as many as I possibly could. I'd want to make a connection with the band, see if they'd recognise me from one night to the next, see if they'd care or appreciate that I kept showing up. I get the impression that it wouldn't make any difference to Stevie, but Lindsey and the others, more so.

[paleshadow]

No, I wouldn't. It would be like watching the same movie three nights a week for several months.

[GypsySorcerer]

Absolutely.

If/when she tours next year, I'll try to hit as many shows as I feasibly can. Who knows..... if it's summer, I won't be teaching most of the time, so.....

My interest in seeing Stevie Nicks in concert would take a backseat to just meeting fellow Ledgies at pre-concert get togethers. So, if I had Bill Gates-type finances, then sure, I'd follow the tour just to see how many of y'all I'd meet over the course of the tour...the concert itself would most likely bore me to tears. Now, a Fleetwood Mac tour, I'd probably get into seeing them for a while before the boredom would set in.

If I was going to the concerts "just for the music", I'd follow the Allman Bros Band instead....no two shows are alike...even if they played the same songs, they never play them the same way twice.

Yes absolutely IF she tours Australia next yr, It kills me that i have never seen Stevie solo. I have only had the pleasure seeing F/M live 2 times the first back in 1977 & their 09 Unleashed tour. Everyday I regret this huge gap , & i really dont know why they fell off my radar for so long. But if it wasn't for hooking up to the internet for the first time in 08, that night for old times sake i googled F/Mac, & thank goodness for youtube!! though nobody told me how addictive it can be watching & listening to Stevie's awesome songs & interviews. So yes if money was no object, i would travel around my country or better still go to every state in the USA.. Now i just need to win lotto

id do the same

If money were no object I would totally go to all of Stevie's shows, just because I could. I won't give a ding dong about seeing the same thing every night.

Seeing that money is an object for me I have been giving next years tour some serious thought. I've decided that I will go to 3 shows, 2 that are within reasonable driving distance and either the opening or closing show.

For the SYW tour I only saw FM in Atlanta. For Unleashed I went to Atlanta and New Orleans. I expected the New Orleans show to be super special because it was the last show... but turned out it wasn't the last show. Stevie gave us a special treat with the New Orleans song but other than that I thought she appeared totally exhausted. I'm still glad I went. I had never been to New Orleans before and it was very humbling to see the effects Katrina had on the city and the ongoing recovery efforts. Another humbling or should I say humiliating thing was throwing up red drink on the trolly. Note: Big cups full of icy red stuff that is super sugary with a splash of alcohol is not a good idea in the middle of the hot ass day.

LouieLouie said the venue would make the difference, and I have to agree. It would be a dream to see her perform at a place like Red Rocks! And if money was no concern, I'd fly there in a heartbeat.

On her next tour, I plan to see her at least twice, but I may shoot for three times if she plays three shows in my state. If for some wild reason her tour didn't hit Florida, I'd absolutely travel anywhere in the country to see her tour Can anybody tell I'm excited? And the album is still being recorded. Ha.

But I have to admit that my fondest memories were around the romance of travel- just darting around from city to city like a wayward gypsy and seeing/experiencing new things. As such, if she did a three-month tour of Kansas, I would probably pass... but if the travel itinerary is interesting and fits in with my schedule, I would totally do it. I would love it if she would tour Australia again- it would give me an excuse to do some more exploration down under!

I like this answer. The subtleties would be enormous in memory. I think it's awesome you've done it

I notice that listening to live recordings, too! Never gets old to hear a new oohh or as you said, the tiniest change in lyric or so forth.

I'd just be happy to see her solo just once, but I doubt that will happen now here in the UK
