Anyway... I still kind of have a hard time believing a Stevie and Rod tour... or vice versa... He draws larger crowds then she, so who'd be the opener??

Plus, do competing label artists tour together? He's on J Records, she on WB. - or is that a non-issue?

I thought she was touring with Dave...

Nevermind - ROD Stewart, not DAVE Stewart. Capiche.

Remember kiddies, she did this 5 years ago with Don Henley. And just a few years ago with Chris Isaak. But now it seems pretty obvious to me who will be the opening act.

And since Rod must get a s**t ton nightly guarantee, there's no question that front section tickets are going to be $150-200 for this.

As much as I hate to admit it, this is probably good for promoting Stevie's album. Rod sells more albums than Stevie in addition to drawing a bigger audience. It's good to get her new songs across to a new audience that would not necessarily would have considered seeing or buying her music. I just think it would have been much cooler if she hooked herself up with a younger act like Maroon 5 or Train. No, I'm not particularly fond of those bands either, but at least their audiences are younger and not as set in their ways.

I agree, Maroon 5 with Stevie would be cool. They were with the Stones, when Mom seen them. On nicksfix.com, stevie actually says she likes Maroon 5! I would totally be excited to see that. Rod Stewart just doesn't do it for me. He's like...blah. What does he sing?

Also does anyone remember Dave S. tweets on Dec.31st?
He tweeted:
"2011 I will be dropping a Music Bombshell on The Industry !!!!!! can't wait" and clarified minutes later saying "a bombshell in music collaboration and a bombshell to the industry as it stands"

Could Dave have been alluding that this music collaboration was with someone other than himself that Stevie had never dueted with before - someone like Rod Stewart -which has been hidden under wraps til'possibly now. I just assumed he was talking up his collaboration with Stevie once again. Maybe she re-recorded "Cheaper Than Free" with Rod, I can see them rasping out that duet together with more positive results than with Dave.

Tow Dizzy Blonds Tour 2011

Wow, it sounded interesting to me. It's not like Stevie's just gonna do a 30-minute concert. Vanessa, Chris, ALL the others bored me. At least I knew some Don songs.

Whoever is on the bill with Stevie has NEVER kept me from one of HER concerts. Billy Falcon? Opus? (NOT Opus III, take note). I'm going to see STEVIE NICKS!!!! Yay!!!!!!

But she's going to be the opening spot, which means she gets an hour at the most. An hour in a Stevie Nicks set is basically "Rhiannon," "Gold Dust Woman," "Edge of Seventeen," "Stand Back" and three new songs. Me no likey.

God, I hope Rod is nowhere near Stevie's new album. I really think I'd have to go on a murderous rampage if that were to happen!

This whole development is just so gross and disheartening

I'd rather hear Stevie singing "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?"...

BombaySapphire3 · #27 01-06-2011, 08:42 PM

I t's difficult for me to digest that she actually acquiesed to being the opening act.Even though Rod sells more tickets I think it will be more of a double bill type pairing.If she does perform a truncated set I will likely be sitting it out again since I have no real interest in seeing Rod unless he did a stripped down set of his and the Faces music from the late sixties to the early seventies when he was actually great.

Exactly. This makes me f*cking angry to be quite honest. I could've dealt with her touring with Dave because of all the interesting interaction they've had over the past few months and his influence on the record... but I literally CANNOT STAND Rod. adlkfjhalkhaejk this BETTER not be accurate.

daniellaaarisen · #29 01-06-2011, 08:48 PM

Seriously, I want to vomit. This CANNOT be true. I was planning on following the tour around for 10+ dates but there is no way I will be paying much more money to see Stevie sing a dramatically shorter set. **** this.

Why is obvious that Stevie will be the opening act? Muscians and other artists still talk about her. I haven't heard Rod's name mentioned in 10 years, and he makes his living by singing old standards. Yeah, he's sold more albums but not of new material. The man looks like a piece of old leather and he resigned himself to singing old songs.

I'm not paying to see Stevie as an opening act. So I guess, I'm not going. And I don't think, she needs Rod Stewart to sale albums. Infact, teaming up with him makes her seem older. I can't see Stevie being an opening act for anyone. She is not that way.
