..and on the thread topic, I would prefer a much more retooled set list, but glad that Stevie is taking some risks this time around. It's enough to jazz me for seeing her later this summer. More importantly, I'm thrilled that she looks and sounds so great and seems to be rested and happy.

I came away from my last SYW show very depressed and I'm ready to erase that image with the Gold Dust Tour (what a stupid name) Stevie.

Thanks, I had no idea. I thought the only time they sang together live was during Tom's Hard Promises tour.

she showed up at one Petty gig on the "Southern Accents" tour in 1985 in Tempe AZ. She sang a bunch of cool stuff with them that night, like "Not Fade Away" & "Make It Better (Forget About Me)" & "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" & "I Need to Know." I wish I had been there. I think Sandy Naylor was there. I went to see Petty in L.A. right after that just in case Stevie showed up, but she didn't. Later in 1985, however, she did some songs with Petty at a couple of benefits that Don Henley & Jackson Browne put together, including "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" & "Don't Bring Me Down."

The Heartbreakers are the only band that knows how to play "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" really well because that's their song & their style. Steve Simels once said it was a rewrite of "Refugee," & stylistically & instrumentally, he's right. The solo bands Stevie has had through the years do it all wrong. It needs to be sinewy & slinky, & the solo bands just crash through it. It really needs Stan Lynch on drums, Howie Epstein on bass, Benmont Tench on B3 & Mike Campbell on guitar. That's the only way I've ever enjoyed the song. Same thing goes for "I Need to Know." when the Heartbreakers play it, it's "correct."

Also, I think she & Petty have done a few appearances together since the Fleetwood Mac reunion. They even did a TV show together from the White House.

Thanks for that, David. I saw Petty in Tempe during the Hard Promises tour (my first rock concert actually, my mom took me ) It was highly rumored that Stevie would show up and people were screaming her name all night long. But it didn't happen.

I remember the White House show, but I don't recall that they sang together. I think she sang "Silent Night" (shudder) with the Heartbreakers backing her up.

I do now remember that she played a benefit show a couple years ago in LA, something about recording artists rights, and did SDMHA with TP.

I agree with you about her solo bands and the Petty songs.

I think she'll play it safe and basically redo the Vegas set. She'll add back FFG, Sorcerer, Landslide, HSML...maybe IAF (it can be done w/o Lori.) And I'm sure she'll probably throw out SYWBARARS and L&L and end the show with INTK and HAEWAFY.

If she does anything other than that, I'll be shocked. Shocked!

I haven't listened to it since I burned it to a CD. I adore the studio version, though.

This is one of my very favourite Stevie duets evah! I just went and searched my files, and lo and behold... I have the live version from Radio City! Thanks for the reminder... guess what I'm listening to right now??

Fast forward about 4 and a half minutes... and I now remember why I blocked this live version from my memory.

Well... the Enchanted set (particularly disk 3) and tour hooked me and turned me into a serious Nicks fan, so I guess I was just hoping that at some point she would do another tour and box set kinda like that and aimed more toward the serious fans. There were rumours about something like that just before the annoucement of the Vegas show dates. I know her record company prolly wouldn't go for it, but it seems like she keeps kind of hedging that way by adding Sara to SYW set and a few other gems for Vegas and 2 Voices. I was hoping if we showed enough interest somehow that we might be pleasantly surprised and rewarded. I honestly think we, as the core group of fans, can have an influence in this direction. The core group of fans were always of interest to the record company during the younger years of Fleetwood Mac... they were the bankroll.. they were the ones who ALWAYS bought whatever was released and the record company knew they could count on selling at least 400,000 albums, every time. (I read this in one of the many books published.) So.. that was my little hope and dream and prolly the main motivation behind starting a discussion about "new" songs. I know the record industry is not what it used to be and maybe they would never entertain that manner of thinking today, but one can only hope.

If there were another Enchanted type box set, I'd like to see remasters, demos or even redos of songs like Sara, Sister of the Moon, Storms, Sable on Blonde, If I Were You, Angel, That's Alright. And a tour with those songs added to the set list. It's do-able. I think Stevie's voice can handle it now. She could call the album: "To You - in the Front Row"

Ok ... ... I'll stop now.

Laura

Some albums have been produced more on stage, but some songs just don't do well live. I don't think covers are a bad thing at all. I would rather have a beautiful cover than a song from her past that sucked live.
Some of those songs were only performed once or twice, lucky you if you got to witness any of them being performed.
As for Nightbird, she only did that twice on TV never in concert to my knowledge.
I think the Enchanted tour was the best for rarities but really can't Stevie vary the set every night? Other bands can do it. She has enough material now that she could vary it every night of the tour (still including the hits) and still have a setlist of material everyone knows.
I can't say I'm that impressed by the inclusion of two covers on the current tour but it's a start I guess.
