Why does this not ring a bell with me? Is there a demo floating around I am unaware of or am I just having a brain fart? Fill me in!

Since Stevie mainly started adding all the covers about the time she stopped recording new material, I wonder if the covers (minus I Need To Know, naturally) will be absent from the setlist on her next tour? By Stevie's own formula, she can't add more than 3 new songs at a time... so I'm guessing that'll mean the covers will be out next tour. If there is a God...

[newyawka]

probably, but i'm not sure...depends on the money situation.

[TerraRhiannon]

I really hope she comes to Canada. Cause I would LOVE to see her. That is if I have money... but yeah, in regards to the set list, I couldn't give a rats ass if she got up there and did Comedy for 2 hours for crying out loud. I'm a stevie/fleetwood mac show virgin, so sing your heart out Stevie baby, I probably will be too excited/mesmerized to even notice what song you're singing

[CADreaming]

It's a must go for me.

[amberlemegan]

I will definatly be going since I've never seen Stevie in concert. It's something I just have to do.

ROTFL-priceless!!!

Half the time I'm just being a smartass anyway. I adore Fleetwood Mac and Stevie or I wouldn't be here. But that doesn't mean I have to worship at the fount of Stevie's every bowel movement, either. Don't take life so seriously my friend!

True life is too short so enjoy Edge have fun Louie is right gotta laugh and not take things so seriously if we did we all would be on Xanex and Valium.

I already told my husband I wanted to go see Stevie Nicks, seeing as how I just got into her and the Mac last year. I told him I wanted to do Front Row cause of the Edge Walk. It will be my second concert, my first was Crue Fest 2, I went cause my mom is a big Motley Crue fan she put me to sleep to it.

However I am starting college again in January and won't be done til May and i'm taking 6 courses, so it also depends on if i'm still in school. My husband already said he wouldn't mind going out of state. We are in podunk NC.

[belladonnadream]

Of course I will....if she's anywhere in the state of NY which I'm sure she will be..even if I have to drive to NYC from the upstate.

[BellaDonna93]

Wish I ever could see her again...:/

Its always funny to see these threads come up every time a new tour is about to begin.

What I don't understand is (and i'm not naming names and I do not mean to offend) how can fans who spend so much time on these boards not see her live? So much time and effort is spent talking about this woman and her music, how she has affected his or her life. Why not pay the $150 to go see her?

I'm only 21, but, ive seen every Fleetwood, Stevie, and Lindsey show in the northeast area since I was seven years old and it never gets old. The excitement and anxiety before a show never goes away. I still get so nervous before she hits the stage because I still love her so much. I listen to her music every day, I read these boards every day, and I get overly excited about the tiniest pieces of information about her. She is a part of my life and getting to spend 2 hours with her once a year is always an incredible experience.

Sure, I've probably heard Landslide and Dreams over twenty times live. Of course I would give one of my limbs to hear Gold and Braid, Rooms on Fire, or Talk to Me, but I would never stop going to her shows. Just to get out for a night and dance to rock and roll music with friends and family is worth the $150 dollars.

Obviously, we are going through a tough economic time. Not everyone can drop $150 or travel hundreds of miles to see her. Thats totally understandable. I'm lucky enough to have a part time job as a college student to save money to see them. I would rather drop $150 for front row seats at a Mac concert over spending that much on an average weekend night in Boston (yes, that does happen). Hell, when they came around for the Unleashed Tour I blew all of my tax return money just to take my best friend to see them. He's an average music goer for a 20 year old in 2010: Dave Matthews, Gaga, OAR, Coldplay etc...But as his best friend and a huge Fleetwood Mac fan, just hearing him say "that was the best concert I've have ever seen" totally justified a 2 hour trip and $300 worth in tickets.

Lindsey, Stevie, Mick, and John aren't going to be around forever. Sometimes, I think the fans take advantage of the "oldies" factor when they tour. Sure, they are going to do greatest hits shows and play the classics at concerts supporting new material. I know I would be absolutely devastated if Stevie didn't play Stand Back or Lindsey dropped Tusk. It doesn't matter how many times I hear those songs or how much money I drop, its always an amazing experience when you are there (at least to me).

And then, of course, there are the lifers, who got to see Fleetwood Mac play the Rosebud concert in 1976 or saw Stevie on the Wild Heart Tour. Of course she's not going to live up to those experiences. Theres only so much cocaine a person can take. I would do anything to travel back to 1981 to see Stevie on the Bella Donna Tour or Fleetwood Mac on the Mirage Tour. And I can gauruntee if I was around then, I would still be seeing them today because I love their music.

When these guys do stop touring, I think there are going to be a lot of people who regretted not going to see that hits tour when Stevie played Storms, Beautiful Child, Beauty and the Beast, or Love Is. Maybe then, it would seem worth it to some.

Again, I'm not trying to offend anyone here. My point is that spending money to see my favorite band over and over (hah no pun), with the same set, is never a burden, its an absolute pleasure.

His shows are absolutely incredible.

For the first Under the Skin show (October 2006), I really wasn't a big fan of his solo stuff yet. I thought the new album was ok, but nothing spectacular. The show was amazing...Some guy gave my mom two front row tickets while we were waiting to go into the theater.

I was the *only* person to play Lindsey's guitar on Go Your Own Way. I only did it because he did it on the SYW tour, which I had seen. He absolutely ate it up (I think Pattie has a picture of this somewhere). I yelled out Down on Rodeo (my favorite song from UTS at the time) and he played it at the end of the show. Unreal. He also did Holiday Road and Save Me a Place.

After the show, I immediately started listening to OOTC. After the first listen, I was absolutely hooked. 'Turn it On" became my immediate favorite. A few months later (March 2007) he added "Turn it On" to his set list. I almost had a heart attack when someone here posted an audio clip of it from the Houston show. I'm still so bitter that he axed it from the Bass Hall release. I think he decided to cut it because it was the first night they played the song and it sounded a bit rough. Anyway, I remember I saw him 3 more times in 2007 (Northhampton, Hampton, and Burlington). Could not believe he added my favorite song to his set list.

The Gift of Screws tour was just as exciting, if not more that UTS tour. I was a sophmore in College when he toured. I remember my mother and I drove miles to see him 3 more times (Northhampton, Lebanon, and Boston). I know I missed a lot of class that week.

The thing that kinda blows about Lindsey's shows are the audiences. NO ONE stands until Go Your Own Way. However, on the GOS tour in Lebanon, NH a crowd of people ran down to the stage during Tusk which was like the fifth or sixth song he did. I ran down with them and spent the night at the stage.

I hope he does 'Love Runs Deeper' when he comes back around, loved that live. Anyway, end rant. He puts on an incredible live show. Nearly every time I've seen him, he has taken an audience request at the end of the show (usually Bleed to Love Her, but he did do Save Me a Place and Down on Rodeo a few times). In Northhampton 2008 he was taking more requests. I was at his feet and requested "underground." He said " we didn't rehearse that one." I think he played BTLH instead.

Ok seriously, done ranting.
