Any possibility that the John Kinney update and the weekly picture on the Nicksfix is any indication that "Nightbird" will actually happen??? Hope-a-hope-a-hope-a-hope!

If she does it right, the part where I'm gonna burst out bawling is the-

"Through the dark and the net of the lace...."

Jeezus, my eyes are watering up right now just thinking about it.....

WOOOOOOT!

Ok, I'm totally ready to get some flak here, but what's the big deal about Lori Nicks? I never liked her singing, and other than being Jessica Nicks' mom, there is absolutely no significance to me.
She never came off as a warm person in the interview clips I saw, and I found her stage presence overbearing, just like her vocals. Especially on the Wild Heart Tour.
I think alot of Stevie's other back up singers were way more talented- Marilyn Martin being one.
Sorry, I just dont get the fuss.

for me, the appeal of Lori is more about getting Nightbird than anything else.

They are totally going to do Nightbird. It's Lori's all time favorite song to sing with Stevie. So, they TOTALLY HAVE TO DO IT!!! And my head will fly off my shoulders when they do. And oh my god! Beauty and the Beast!!! Hadn't even thought of that one!!!

Yeah but will they go for the retro use of the Oberheim or Prophet or whatever it was? or will "Nightbird" fly digitally?

Nobody ever thinks about the important stuff.

I like Lori but I gotta say, my favorite backsasser is Miss Sharon. She always compliments Stevie vocally and is rarely overwhelming onstage with any of her backing vocals. Lori, in her heyday, could occassionally overwhelm Stevie. That being said, I would love to hear Lori again and Nightbird is one of my all time favorite songs and is very personal to me so I hope Lori is there to do it. Lori could also add to BatB should they attempt that one. I really just do not want any pictures of Mick floating up on the video screen if they do this song. Please, No Stevie.

Damn straight. I don't want any fake 80's synth sounds on Nightbird. I want the real thing.

I suppose they could always sample it.

Marilyn M. was perhaps the best vocal performer of La Nicks' back up singers. Her voice is that of a star and she has in fact been a star. So, I take nothing from her on that or any level.

However, I always thought Lori and La Nicks had a great vibe togther and they looked like they belonged up there at the same time. Plus, they were sexy as Hell when they sang Nightbird on SNL and SG. I love her voice as well and never found it to be over powering. But, to each their own

I think it's a big deal to a lot of us because there's so much history there. When Stevie first went solo, Lori & Sharon were there right from the start. And it stayed that way for years. Until that damn kid came (kidding!)

I think it's exciting because it's been such a long time since we saw Lori, Sharon & Stevie live. And the possibility of them doing songs you don't hear live anymore.
