We wouldn't have gotten 8 new songs at the Wiltern without him, and the performances went so well that I couldn't see him letting her drop the ball.

As much as I'd like to read that he would be part of Stevie's touring band, I doubt Dave will tour with her...he's busy with that new goofy "Super Heavy" band he, Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, one of Bob Marley's offspring & AR Rahman (the guy who did the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack) are trying to get off the ground. I'll bet Keef is pissed off, he's gearin' up for the Stones' 50th anniversary tour extravaganza & "Brenda" is jerkin' around with this other band.

If Stevie came to Texas with that setlist, I'd go see her. I'm just not interested in hearing the same old songs year in and year out with just a few little tweaks and revisions. I think Stevie drastically changed the quality of her recorded music on IYD... now she needs to bring that drastic change to her setlist. She's ridden the oldies wave for a loooooong time. She can take a break for one tour, right?

If she tours solo, it's pretty certain that he'll be there. Look at the tweet I posted earlier on this thread. He's said multiple times that he wants to tour with Stevie, and he's supporting the little campaign on Twitter that's asking for a Stevie/Dave tour.

It's funny-- I would think that you'd want her to tour now more than ever since she finally has new material to play!

So you want her to tour if she dramatically changes the setlist but not if she does the same crap? I would entirely agree with that, but to me, there's very little chance that she'll do an oldies tour to support this new record-- especially with how the absolute f*cking brilliance that was the Wiltern show. She should keep 7 of those 8 songs in (excluding "Soldier's Angel"). They transferred to the stage so well that there's no reason for her to avoid them.

But if she's planning on only performing a new song or two (or three) on a summer tour, I'd agree with you. She'd be much more productive in the studio with Fleetwood Mac. My only worry is that she's growing older and won't be able to tour in 5-10 years... but she'll still be able to record.

Yes it was. So Beautiful! We always scream out "Butterfly". It's my friend's favorite song.

Sorry. OT.

does anybody think SN will go and do some dates in Europe in the summer (other then the one she already has)? considering her CD drops there soon that would make sense...

here are Lindsey's tour dates announced so far:
Boulder, CO 8/10-13 (not really a tour date, a preview performance)
Boston, MA 9/25 ?
Towson, MD 9/30
Durham, NC 10/1
Jacksonville, FL 10/3
Las Vegas, NV 10/14
Anaheim, CA 10/17

so he'll be busy Aug-Oct, and Stevie is touring Australia in Nov.

i don't see FM reconvening before SN/DS are back from Australian tour. so i agree that beginning of 2012 seems to be the earliest FM will get back together (hope that will be in the studio).

Agree completely.

The ball has been dropped in regards to promoting this album: Stevie wasn't put on the late night talk shows, she didn't have a music video to promote her first single until it was too late, she saturated the major touring markets earlier this year with Rod Stewart, she sang only ONE song from the new album at all her shows this year (sans Wiltern), and the album itself is set to fall off the charts next week. I think IYD is past the point of revival at this point.

I completely disagree with this. There's no reason for Nicks to move on from promoting IYD. This is one of the strongest albums of her career, if not THE strongest, and there is so much more that can and should be done to promote the album: 2nd and 3rd singles, a tour, possibly tying "Moonlight" in with 'Breaking Dawn', etc. The album is still in the Top 50, nowhere near "falling off the charts". She should keep promoting it through the end of the year regardless, because Mac isn't going to do anything until Spring 2012 at the earliest anyway due to Buckingham's solo album.

Me too .In that dept.I never cares about "Rock and Roll" when Zep did it.I rather her sing "Stairway" from Zep.

Dave is British so I say they scrap any ideas of a US tour and come back over here. A European tour is long overdue

It would make sense and it's waaaay overdue. Not holding my breath though

YES!

In my perfect world, they'll tour the US in August/September and then tour the Europe in October.

That would be simply amazing. That place is tops for an outdoor venue, it's just gorgeous !

I think/hope this may happen buy my biggest gripe is that dates should be announced and that tickets should be on sale by now if this is the case.
