Is it time to retire the "Edge walk"?

She better not retire the Edge walk... because if I ever get to see her in concert....it just better happen!

I feel fairly confident that it's just a logistical thing with this particular tour. She's not going to retire the Edge walk, it's not happening people so don't get your panties in a wod. Plus, I'm in the first row for the Indio show and if she was going to retire it she'd wait till after that show...

What seriously concerns me is the "Standback kick" she does. I've seen her kick REALLY high, and it makes me cringe thinking she may fall. Anyone else feel this way? I know she had years of extensive ballerina training...lol...but at her age, a fall could do some damage!

That's in the can at present too. At least, I didn't catch one.
She did a mild kick later on, but nothing like what we've seen
in recent years.
Hate to say it but I think that's wise - she does NOT need an injury right now!


Don't forget, she's wearing The Boots all the way through now -
Harder for her to keep her balance in those during a high-kick, of course.

I agree with what Cristochango is saying about things being different since this is a combined Stevie/Rod Stewart tour; and that half the audience is Rod S. fans.
(Frankly, at MSG it was more than half - there were several signs of that.)


One other thing I'd like to point out though - I can KINDA see the sore back
thing being an issue but don't forget this is someone who "by definition" says
"So WHAT!?" to something like that.

Can you imagine all the times she's gone on-stage with a splitting headache, for example?

Oh by the way though - I've also seen some speculation that there's a time issue as well -
Don't forget there's a curfew, if they don't finish by 10:30 or so the venue is hit with a big
fine - and guess who ends up paying that? Yeah. Then Stevie and Rod might have a big
spat over whose fault it is, the peace of the tour is disrupted, etc. etc. -
I have a general impression this is a "multiple reasons" kind of thing - Stevie got to a
certain point where she was like, "You know WHAT? SCREW it! Let's can the Edge Walk
and we'll just pick it up again this summer." (Or something along those lines.)
