I miss Sisters, y'all

of course she could! Angel doesn't require much vocal energy, and that's where Stevie's at now.

Stevie should just do a 'Tusk' medley, 'Sara', SOTM, 'Angel', BC and 'Storms'; string them all together but as a medley (like Diana Ross used to do with her old Supremes stuff) and only sing the important parts like the first verse and chorus and whatever 'hook' the song is famous for.

Medlies just whet my appetite for more. Whenever someone does them, I feel cheated.

I would love to have Angel back in the FM lineup though. Michele

Maybe it's that SN knows she took 'Sisters' to a rather supernatural level of excellence on the 'Mirage' tour, and never can top it, so that's why she 'hit delete' on the song. She also may have had a very sore throat the next day with some vocal chord damage on the 'tongue speaking' ending that hurts her to even think about, now.
It may be that she decided with the exorcism of the song complete, why revisit it. She has to know it was one of her very best performances, and I think she did all she can with the song. Not that I wouldn't love to hear her do it again, but I think it's just a completed piece, for her.
I like the link you posted, had never seen that version, ever. Sure, she could perform it in similar fashion to that clip now.
But like someone else wrote, the song needed the fireworks she gave it in '82, she really blew the roof off the Forum with it.

Are you guys all sure it was Stevie Nicks at the top of her game? Also, what about the rest of the band? I thought it was weak because it was disspirited & sloppy.

I don't remember that happening at the Forum. I remember hundreds of people leaving.

Not the night I was there, I think I went on the second night but don't recall, exactly. The arena shook the ovation for SOTM was so huge. I remember (at 18 and new to LA) thinking it was an earthquake; the rattle was so intense, up in the bad seats. Pretty sure that everyone stayed that night! Apart from SOTM, there was 'Songbird' to stick around for. It was the greatest concert I ever saw FM perform, if it wasn't the same for you, that happens. I was totally blown away.
This reminds me of one of my first threads I wrote in, many years ago. I wrote about the 'Peace Sunday' concert, and I got the city it was held in wrong. I did write how thrilling it was (to me!) that she opened her set with 'Edge of 17'-- to be told it never happened; that she opened with 'Sara' by a 'David' of thousands of informed posts- maybe not the same David as this time, it doesn't matter. Both or one and the same should write as they wish. The original D told me I was having an incorrect memory and wrote 'am I being trolled?' for questioning his assurance that she opened with 'Sara'.
That was my welcome to The Ledge, baby! I had admired his writing and thought 'well, he has to be right'....
I gave in and wrote 'well I must be wrong, then' and mourned I had such an incorrect memory of my young LA life some years later while in my 30's.
Turns out he was incorrect, and I was right with my meager 4 postings to his zillions. This year, I found and shared in the Nicks forum a complete set list of everyone's performances at 'PS'-- and she sure as hell did open with 'Edge' and not with 'Sara'.
Had hundreds of people walked out on SOTM at The Forum, I would've noticed, though it could have happened on the other night I didn't attend. 'Oakland '82' is a somewhat close 2nd best SOTM for me. At the Forum show I saw, the playing and vocals made for the best version of 'The Chain' in the history of the world! I thought the musicianship and vocals that night were beyond amazing.
But that doesn't mean someone else can't think otherwise!

Sisters live have always been a favourite for me ^^ it's like all magical and amazing. Stevie's voice and everything. As in the Mirage tour version, love it! And not to mention the tusk tour version. When the audience goes wild...omg, so awesome! <3 I would love to see them do Sisters now, think it would be totally amazing..

[nailatixela]

I'm glad it was dropped. I'm guessing Stevie didn't want to do it solo - or couldn't find a good fit for it in the solo set since she didn't do it in 81 or 83. If she didn't do it in 83, she sure wasn't going to do it in 86.

Once Fleetwood Mac came back in 87 - I suspect that's the best chance we would have gotten to hear it again. But it would have kinda sucked at this point and would have never sounded better than it had during the Tusk and Mirage eras.

I hate to say this and I know it's totally far-fetched but maybe she's saving it for her farewell song or last performance with The Mac or maybe there's simply no good reason at all - she just hasn't felt like performing it for the last 20 years and when she wants (if she ever does) she'll perform it again. Or maybe she's saving it for the next FM tour as you know how she's been pulling em' out of the archives for the last couple of tours (Sara, Storms).
We can hypothesize that there is some deep seeded issue she has going on with the song or that she doesn't think she can handle it vocally but maybe it's something much simpler than that as I mentioned above.

[SuperFleetwood]

sure!, ohhh and maybe a low key sisters!!
