But she seemed to really like linking it to American Horror Story. Michele

I'm sad that is gone. I was going to shout COVEN!!! before the song started and record her saying "American Horror Story", my favorite TV show.

Mixed feelings about Seven Wonders. It was for the most part, written by Sandy Stewart.
So that alone can make it a contender for one of the first to go on this tour. It also has always been considered one of the worst studio vocal performances by Stevie Nicks on a Fleetwood Mac album. I know people love it, but it's not even close to an "essential" Fleetwood Mac or Stevie Nicks song. The arrangement on this tour sounded great but I sort of see it as a bathroom/drink break opportunity; and on this tour no song should qualify for that. I wince when I hear it on Tango In The Night. (But I wince when I hear every Stevie Nicks song on that album). I guess for me, it's just not up to the standards of the rest of the set list -- a disposable Fleetwood Mac track, if there can be one. The bigger mystery for me is why they cut Sara from this year's tour. Last year it was about as perfect as it's been since 1979. I loved the new arrangement and the weaving of vocals from Lindsey at the end. I think it was triumphant and I won't be surprised if it finds it's way back in the set list on the next leg overseas. I'm not sure that the solo piano is the issue with Songbird. From a few youtube videos I heard, it sounded like Chris was really struggling with her voice at points with this song. Maybe they felt it was better to end on more of an up/energetic note. I would vote for the return of Sara and Sad Angel. Seven Wonders can be put to bed for good as far as I'm concerned.

I love Sevenwonders and glad to hear it live months ago.Songbird is OK.
I'm still shock that Hold Me did not make the setlist.

More likely Stevie is saving her voice. Its still a mystery to me about what happen to Chris's hand. They always can play a medley of tunes.

I don't miss 7W as a song, but when something happens that brings them to the attention of a new audience like American Horror Story or the pony moonwalking commercial, I think they should capitalize on it.
That's why I'm eager for Everywhere to get to the UK. Michele |

By whom?? Lindsey wouldn't even let her rerecord the vocal when she realized she sang the wrong words because he thought that vocal take was so great.

By me, for example . I hated it from the day TITN came out and that has never changed. I'm actually glad it is no longer on the setlist, even Stevie reading from a telephone book would please me more.

A shame about Seven Wonders getting dropped. AHS made it popular again. On YouTube, I think the music video has more views than any other FM video since AHS. Go figure. I also liked it back on the Shake The Cage Tour.
Anyway. If she's bored with it, why drop it and not put something else in its place? Say You Will would be fun, especially with Christine adding something to it too. Even Sad Angel would be nice to hear again. |

I agree that it's one of the worst (embarrassingly so) vocal performances of SN on a FM album. She's had some pretty bad ones (Rock A little album) on her own, but this is her at her worst vocal excess phase.

I never heard she sang the wrong words on Seven Wonders. Does anyone know this story? Is this why she sounds marbled mouthed on some parts?

Since Tango In The Night, Stevie's voice has improved markedly on all of her albums and Fleetwood Mac's.
I've even noticed great leaps between Trouble In Shangri La and In Your Dreams. And also from In Your Dreams to 24k Gold. So much more depth, character and control. It's shocking to go back to Rock a Little and TITN now. She really re-launched her career by taking care of her voice. Now we need to get Lindsey to work on his. |
