Stevie's next opening song should be ...

[Travis]

If not "Whole Lotta Trouble" then my vote goes to ...

Ooh My Love

I'm listening to it now - go give is a listen. I can absolutely see / hear it. Lights dim ... they stay dim as the opening beats play ... then when those 4 drum beats hit - BOOM (at the 20 second mark - if you are listening to the song) that is when the lights come up and out comes Stevie. It totally has an opening song vibe.

[OutsideTheRain]

absolutely...have always felt this song would be an awesome opener

[GypsySorcerer]

"Ooh My Love" is my favorite song from TOSOTM. I agree; it would be a solid opener.

I still want her to open with "Nothing Ever Changes."

[BellaDonna93]

LOOOVE Ooh My Love!! <333

[LiquidDiamonds]

Nightbird

You advocate for "Rooms on Fire" every time you possibly can

[Travis]

I once thought the way the extended version of ROF starts could be a possible opener too, but I'm all for Ooh My Love right now. Will it ever happen? HELL NO but, I can dream.

Your point?

In my own defense:
1. It was a hit that the whole audience will be familiar with.
2. She hasn't done it in a while.
3. Done live it has an awesome intro to get the crowd riled up.
4. It's an outstanding song.
5. She looks hot in red.
6. Lindsay (me) loves it!

I say Stevie just goes balls to the wall next summer and busts out with "ALL RIGHT BABY!!". Sister Honey gets my vote! However, Ooh My Love and ROF would be good choices too. Also, Love Is Like A River and Nothing Ever Changes top my list too!

I can't help it, I know it's as tired and worn out as Stevie's cooze itself , but opening with:

Outside the Rain

Then bleeding into:

Dreams

Just works.

The only other opener I've really ever liked was when she did the acapella Trouble In Shangri La. Too bad it wasn't live singing, though. Still, it was downright edgy for modern Stevie, though.

Perhaps Stevie will shock the socks right off of all of us and surprise us by opening her next tour with a song from her new album?

Sisters Of The Moon could be reworked to be a KILLER opener. I'm guessing that'd be another one Stevie wouldn't perform outside of the Mac, though.

It sounds like from Dave Stewart's latest Tweets that he and Stevie will in fact be touring together whenever Stevie drops her album. Perhaps he'll even sway her to mix up her setlist a bit. I doubt it, but we'll see!

Completely agreed.

I only VAGUELY remember this from my TISL show, seeing that I was nine years old. Anyone have a recording of it?

We need to be excited. Not sleepy. You should be shot for just suggesting this(in this thread).

Here's an intro that I have labeled as Portland:
