One thing that bothers me about Stevies Live Performances

Stevie's bong perhaps?

Did she dance a lot on sorcerer? I remember her dancing a lot on this particular song for some of the TISL performances. I liked her little shawl dance for it.

LOL...Maybe she should add that pic from Details with her standing on the bong/hookah thing?

Not to be the downer Dani, but I seriously doubt shes gunna swing back here. She has already over saturated the NE already with the don and stevie shows. But i DID hear that stevie might come back to MA and play the "paladium" which is a club in Boston, so maybe the GD tour will be making an appearance in the NE afterall?

Well, I could always go to Boston too. I would love PNC or Radio though. But even if she doesn't come back that is OK too. Would rather her go back to the studio.

Do a kick or two on edge, do a couple spins on dreams, do some funky shawl dance on Stop Draggin? Anything.......... Its always the same...... I mean i wouldn't want her to stop doing these things all together but her variety has seriously decreased over the years.

ehhh my 2 cents....

I thought she showed more than her usual measure of versatility by just doing the TwoVoices tour. She sang along on a couple of Don's songs:
Hotel California
New York Minute
The Last Worthless Evening


And she did the "time keeps ticking, ticking" motions, a few other little gestures. And she pulled out Beauty & The Beast, threw in the Circle Dance and So You Wanna Be A Rock And Roll Star.

That's not bad for Stevie. It's a shame that Henley, for whatever reasons, pulled out on the tour, putting Stevie "on the shelf," as he mentioned in an article. For as much anomosity that some folks have expressed towards Don, they were great shows. I am thinking you don't really care so much about her high kicks/twirls as much as you are expressing dissatisfaction with her set list, yes? The other thing that might be bothersome is that some fans go to not one, not two but a dozen of the same shows on the same tour. And we share bootleg videos, and see the reviews from other fans. Years ago most folks were just surprised when they got to the show. Now a lot of the surprise is gone. People are "phoning in" the set list to websites. It's certainly not "wrong" but it does take away some people's delight of actually seeing the shows for themselves.

We're going to get the "staples": Outside The Rain/Dreams, Gold Dust Woman, Rhiannon, Edge of Seventeen on a solo tour. Yes, with those Stevie predictable moves. More often than not, you'll get Landslide as well. I think the positive thing about this tour is despite having no album to sell, and there were some surprise songs included. If you didn't go to Vegas, if you weren't reading The Ledge, imagine how surprised you'd be to hear Beauty & The Beast?

I'm not disappointed. Not really. I am glad that Been A Long Time was covered on the tour after Don left. It gave the fans and Stevie a much needed jolt of "electricity." She stepped out of her comfort zone. Kudos to whoever gave her the confidence to do that.

I miss the way Stevie used to stomp like a member of the Jose Greco dance troupe, & then toss her head over forward & then back & then forward again, like a rock 'n' roll Carmen outside the bullring.
