I like this idea a lot. These would be my picks, if I had the honor of choosing:

Bella Donna: Edge of Seventeen, Kind Of Woman, After The Glitter Fades

The Wild Heart: Nothing Ever Changes, Stand Back, Sable On Blonde

Rock a Little: No Spoken Word, Imperial Hotel, Talk To Me

The Other Side of the Mirror: Rooms On Fire, Juliet, Ghosts

Street Angel: Kick It, Street Angel, Love Is Like A River

Trouble in Shangri-La: Fall From Grace, Love Changes, Love Is

[Christopher]

This is total FANTASY, but what the hell there should be one obligatory track in order for it to remain somewhat doable

Bella Donna: Edge, Kind Of Woman, Think About It

Wild Heart: Stand Back, NightBird, Garbo

Rock A Little: Talk To Me, No Spoken Word, I Sing For The Things

OSOTM: Rooms On Fire, Long Way To Go, Alice

Street Angel: Blue Denim, Greta, Love Is Like A River

TISL: Planets Of The Universe, Bombay Sapphires, Love Is

Bella Donna: Edge of Seventeen, Stop Draggin My Heart Around, then Bella Donna or Outside the Rain, or even Gold and Braid or Julia

The Wild Heart: Stand Back, If Anyone Falls, then Nightbird or Beauty and the Beast

Rock a Little: Talk to Me, Has Anyone Ever Written..., then Sister Honey

The Other Side of the Mirror: Rooms on Fire, then Juliet

Street Angel: Blue Denim, Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind, and I personally wouldn't mind hearing Jane live...

Trouble in Shangri-La: Fall From Grace, Sorcerer, then maybe I Miss You



I think she has enough solo stuff to cut out the FM tunes from her set. And despite not loving certain parts of her life, those parts shaped who she is today, and shouldn't just be dismissed. There's always someone who can relate...

If I didn't have to hear DREAMS or RHIANNON again in her solo shows I wouldn't complain.

ooooo, I forgot about Garbo! How could I?

Wouldn't a "vault" tour be fun? Just 2 hours of unreleased music done live. If I died right after that show, it would be ok.

I totally agree this would be AWESOME but I wouldn't hold my breath for it. I guess the Enchanted tour was probably the closet we'd ever get to hearing rare stuff ever again. This is sad but so true. I do like all of the idea's posted from each LP but I'd go to the more deeper & more rare cuts or even movie songs that we never hear. Like Battle Of The Dragon or b-side songs: Mirror, Mirror. Stevie shouldn't be ashamed of any of her solo LP's. Its part of her life at the time. It is what it is. You loved those songs at the time they were recorded. Lets do them live now. Thats the shame because now some will never be heard or done period. Bummer , but life goes on. Ps: maybe not just Unreleased stuff just 'rare' Never heard of songs done live tour. Extended versions: RAL/The Nightmare vocal version/I Sing For The Things/Long Way To Go/Real Tears/Kind Of Woman/BD/WH etc. heck even throw in some Buck/Nicks songs for good measure. So much time wasted. What a shame!!!

Someone else said Waddy told them that, but I remembered Stevie once saying her father hated TOSOTM but it was her favorite album. Anywho, here is the quote:

"This song was written for an album that happened to be my favorite, but my father insisted was the worst thing I ever did, but this song charted to number 10! So anyway, that was the story of Rooms on Fire."

Well before I ever became of a fan of Stevies my mom asked me
(about 7 years old at the time) to name our cat. I decided to go with Lily. Pre coming out of the closet I had a gf named Stephanie and 1 named Lindsey whose best friend was named Marlena. Oddly enough my own mother bears a strong resemblance to Stevie.

What would be wrong with doing her own "Storytellers" show, just not affiliated with the actual series? So many artists have done little intimate sized tours where they don't feel obliged to do anything, but just put together whatever excites them. Moreover the shows are SO small that they're obviously not damaging to the ego, as they could be playing bigger venues, just have chosen not to. I think given the dedicated following Stevie has, she should consider something like that!

You are definitely optimistic on how many songs Stevie could pull off with her voice on a solo tour, night after night at this point. We'd ALL love it, but 3 songs per album, plus her new album = probably not going to happen. I like your proposed set list. Maybe we will get Nightbird one day (since Lori has been speaking up for it). Something from Street Angel would be terrific, plus a couple from "In Your Dreams."

Stevie has enough solid solo songs to leave out FM songs completely. Lindsey throws in a few Fleetwood Mac songs while on solo tour. So did Christine. Rumours sold a lot of albums. It's their safety blanket; it's the stuff they all fall back on, as if to say, "Hey, it's me! I did this song. Remember?" At this point, Landslide is one of those "till death do us part songs." It's not going anywhere.

Let's all hope Dave is able to be more persuasive than the others in Stevie's camp; clearly she outranks those folks (she pays them). Dave isn't beholden to her. Start twittering your requests to him--soon, so he can get up to speed on those songs!
