Perez Hilton interview is here

[ontheEdgeof17]

I love that You May Be The One was the first song written for the album!

[Jondalar]

Did it ever occur to you guys that Stevie keeps mentioning how much she loved making this album? Sound to me like she really wants to get back to the studio. That's a good idea. Catch lightening in a bottle.

Message to Stevie: Screw Australia too and make another album.

No. Message to Stevie: Tour for IYD at smaller venues this summer and THEN go do another record in the fall.

I just think it's stupid putting her in a big arena when she can't even fill it. There's nothing worse than going to a show and there being thousand of empty seats. It takes away from the atmosphere, to me anyway. On one of the dates she only sold about 3,000 seats of a near 20,000 arena. That's embarrassing.

I totally agree with you.
A friend who was in concert promotion (mainly Whitney Houston back in the day) explained to me how it all works. If I remember correctly, the promoters have the venue already lined up with the deal, so even before tickets are on sale or announced, everything is set, contracts signed. So to change the venue, even if it is 30% capacity will never happen.

However, I do know if all venue sales are not was expected, they may cancel a date or even the tour. Doubt that would happen with Stevie though.

I'm really bummed after reading this interview.

She runs the casino circuit every other year to rake in the cash and now she is acting like she cant get booked to play? When she plays Philly she is usually at the Tweeter in Camden which holds 7,000 I think, plus the lawn. I saw her in 2007 when she was promoting the Greatest Hits cd with Chris Isaak. I dont know if it was soldout, but it looked full to me. I was suprised because tickets were expensive, especially in this economy, and she didnt even have a new album out. Surely she could fill a venue that size again..I dont understand. Why cant she play the same size venues as she did during the TISL tour?

[tabruns]

This just sounds to me like the venue owners are waiting to see how well the album does out of the gate.

This type of conversation came up over at the Heart fan website and Heart's management basically said that the venue owners offer to book the bands, not the other way around. In other words, Heart doesn't contact arenas/sheds/whatever saying "we'd like to play here" but instead the venues decide and then extend the offer to the band to play there.

I don't know if that's just how it works for Heart or if that's commonplace. So maybe that's what Nicks is talking about here....waiting to get the invitations to perform from the venue owners.

Most people over 55 are always cold, even when it's 90 degrees outside, with 100% humidity. Probably why she's sitting next to the fireplace when it's like 80 degrees outside where she lives.

I think she's always done that. There are old quotes about how she'll crank up her air conditioning to full blast to keep the fireplace running all through a SoCal summer.
Appalling waste of energy, but it's so Stevie.

If she wants to get back in the studio, she could have just said that rather than go into a whole digression of why she might not tour to support this album.

I, for one, will be absolutely heartbroken if she doesn't tour to support the album...I was really looking forward to hearing the new music live.

I am just not understanding this at all...like Perez said...YOU ARE STEVIE NICKS. But, if touring with this album really was that important to her like making the album, she would put her foot down and tour in some degree.

(Crossing fingers The Borgata gets rescheduled... )

[KarmaContestant]

After some thought, I'd almost prefer that Stevie not tour. When you look at her touring schedule for the past decade, it seems like she's toured non-stop. As much as she finds inspiration while on the road, I'd prefer another album in 2012.

Then she can launch her "End of the World" tour.

I've even skipped some tours in recent years because I was so sick of hearing the same old setlist. Now she actually has new material!! I was so excited to hear the new songs live
