StandbackStevie · #**136** 01-08-2011, 11:40 AM

well why not a duet with someone new and fresh it would be a move forward and not Stevie to dwell on the past all the time Rod Stewart is someone new to work with too and he recorded Standback back in the early 90's as well so he is a fan of Stevie's I am sure she might be too with him as well. I don't think its a bad collaboration of her and Rod Stewart working together sounds great to me definetly can see them doing a duet together and it would new and refreshing for Stevie I think its definelty a plus i do love collorborations with other great artists she should she is one or in my book she is the greatest artist of legendary status around.

A Stevie/Rod tour is a good thing...Stevie needs to have a major/successful tour to help promote her album...She has put all her cards on the table with this record...Her "People" have talked her out of a new record for years.If this does not do well what are Stevie's chances of getting to record again??? We don't know what kind of deal Stevie made to put this record out,this may be part of the deal...As for everyone wanting a Stevie/Dave tour it may sound all sweet and cute...Unless there are some KILLER Stevie/Dave duets on her album...Stevie needs a BLOCKBUSTER TOUR and a return to glory...

I was basing my information on Dave's tweets - not hoping. He was the one who led people to believe he was doing a tour with Stevie. Personally, it doesn't matter to me who she tours with. I would rather it be someone I like but I'll get over it if it isn't. Odds aren't great that she'll do more than a couple of new songs or even change her set list much to include songs from her own catalogue that she's never done live, because that's her comfort zone, but still we can hope...

A tour with another star of her generation is not going to return her to glory..it may give her a bit more exposure to more boomer/casual fans than she would have touring on her own and may sell a few more copies of her album.A return to glory would require overwhelming critical praise and a grammy sweep which would significantly boost sales IMO.If she does tour with Rod it is nothing new ..look at Elton John and Billy Joel etc.The album will be the real test and it does seem that it is throwing the hard core fans a bone.

C'mon, Dave, please say something!

I'm thrilled to just be getting new music, and most probably a new docu from her. The tour is secondary as she'll only be going to 20-30 cities regardless of who's touring with her. But from a marketing standpoint, Rod Stewart is a bigger draw than Dave. He brings in more $ than Stevie, and it is a highly-promotable bill having two legends together. It is also easier on the performers, as their stage time is cut by 30% from touring solo.

If Stevie stays to her word (and past practice), she'll only sing 2-3 new songs, meaning the songs that will be cut will be of the "sang-too-often" variety. Personable, I don't own any of Rod's CDs but on stage he could rock a bit harder – The Mac certainly does. But as long as she's having fun and the billing is attracting publicity and crowds, I'm all for it!

Well, I have no interest in seeing Rod Stewart, so any slim chance of my going to see her on this next tour that may have existed is gone.

Rod's first 3 albums were great, but pretty much everything he's released since 1972 is garbage. And he doesn't have the chops to pull off the "Great American Songbook" stuff.

I got into Stevie when Enchanted came out and did VH1 Storytellers, which put her across to me as a singer-songwriter, first & foremost; that's why I liked her. But for the past few years, she's been thinking of herself as this big-time arena rocker, and this tour w/ Rod Stewart just cements that. This is about the furthest thing from what I'm interested in that she could possibly do.

I'm anxious to hear her new album, but the rest of this baloney is for the birds.

So in a deliberate attempt to get Dave to say something.I tweeted him "Sorry to hear you won't be touring with Stevie...He replied in 10 minutes or so "Who said I wasn't"??? I replied with "The rumour's are Stevie and Rod Stewart will be touring together"...And they will be on the Ellen show 1/13/2011...Is this true??? Still waiting for a reply...I'm hoping Dave will put an end to the speculation...

True. She didn't sing with Chris Isaak.

For those who don't like Rod Stewart, Stevie will also be performing new material from a new album, something that's long awaited. So, maybe that's incentive enough to see the show, even if you really aren't into the Hot Legs duet.

That's funny. You used psychology on him.

Everyone else has been askin' "are you gonna tour with Stevie" or "Can't wait to see you and Stevie"...Thought I would try a different approach...
