SO with Kansas City added on April 12th, which city do you think it the most likely to be added in addition to that one? I'm thinking Denver and St Louis are the most likely possibilities.

Rod's team has been promoting the crap out of the show. This week he going on Larry King. Those shows are going to sale out. He's happy. He wanted rock n roll and he thinks that Stevie is a guarantee that it's going to be rock n roll. They are going to make oodles of money from this. I bet they keep adding shows and she pushes back her own tour.

I wonder it they should up the release date of her album to take advantage of this.

^ Excellent, thought, j.
I don't want to misspell your name, jondalar- I'm sorry- that's why the 'j' above- I was close!
Any reason to move up the release is great with me, but if this turns into a really hot-ticket sellout tour, I think it would be very smart to get the cd out earlier, sell it at the concerts, happy audiences buy stuff on the way out.

I would love if they added a Texas date if the tickets are reasonable.

Not St. Louis, no chance. Not with KC already being on the 12th. Denver fits, assuming (as they should be able to) they can clear the 13th from Nuggets/Avalanche playoff holds (which shouldn't be a problem)

My opinion, though? There won't be a show added in that window.

Well, I certainly don't have any reason to doubt your opinion, but wouldnt Denver have been the better choice to add instead of KC if thats the way they're going to go? That's why I'm thinking Denver might be on the 13th or 14th.

All gimmick double-bill tours have at least one collaboration... and the fact that Rod talked about it on Ellen? (where he was on the same stage as Stevie promoting their tour?)

??!??!??

I think they should perform this song together, with Rod on lead vocals of course:

Nothing will be on the 14th- they won't do three in a row. Denver is certainly larger than KC, and a far better concert market (generally speaking)... its definitely the "favorite" out of anything that could be added in that spot.

Things seem to be going well for the tour so far.

PS. I would love to hear them do Stay With Me as a duet.

It seems that dates are being added to the Rod+Stevie tour, which makes me wonder about the fate of her solo tour. I just can't imagine her going out alone a few months later to sing all the same songs again. Outside of her devoted fan base that follows her every move, the general public is not going to be saying "I'll wait until she's performing solo." They have no idea she's going to be going out again this summer, which is why the majority of people that like her, will most likely think this Rod+Stevie show is the one to see.

As a promoter, how can they re-package her for a later solo tour? She either will be playing only select cities at smaller venues, or the solo tour is going to offer something much different in songs sung. If I was organizing her solo tour, I'd have her perform 4 songs from the new album, then have an online contest in every city booked, posting 5 catalog songs rarely if ever performed, and have people who purchase tickets then have the opportunity to choose which 2 songs they want to her her sing in their city. The top 2 vote-getting songs would be performed, and the remainder of the show would be chestnuts of her choosing.

The only other possible plan that may be in the motion is hoping the Rod+Stevie tour catches fire, they add on another late summer leg, and she then performs whatever 1-2 songs from the new CD that have become fan favorites by summer.

Thoughts???

All fair questions.

Of course, we are making, in my opinion, the rather bold assumption that Stevie actually wants to tour her solo album, and isn't just content with this month out with Rod and her usual mishmash of casinos & zoo amphitheaters (following the Don Henley template)

You'd soon find yourself out of a job.Are sure this wasn't meant for a Tori Amos fan forum?

If this tour with Rod is a smash success, I predict they (LiveNation, Stevie & Rod's management) will push to ride it out as long as they can, while cross promoting both Rod & Stevie's latest releases. So if that the case I can totally see the possibility of a 2nd leg added for the summer. As of now the tour dates end April 16th, just in time for Stevie to concentrate on promoting In Your Dreams in press/radio & TV. while possibly do a few smaller things with Dave Stewart. So if this Heart & Soul mini tour hints to be as successful as the Taylor/King outing, Stevie stands to bank major$$, and she is the practical one, has a huge entourage to support and loves being part of the big rock n' roll pomp and circumstance.

doing a full on Stevie Nicks solo tour (without any hangers on) to support her first new album in ten years would be an excellent vehicle to "reinvent" her live show and add some much needed newness into the Stevie Nicks brand. Instead, we will be seeing a shortened version of the same live show we've she's done for the past ten or so years which has become nothing more than an oldies act. Another missed opportunity...Maybe it's time Stevie retires to Vegas so she can sing Rhiannon and Stand Back 5 times a week.
