I left that place with my chin on the floor.
I bet his tickets wouldn't be $150, either.

STILL kicking myself in the azz for not going to frickin' Chicago for that.

Think of it this way, during the SYW tour, would anyone have paid to see FM in Seattle when they lived in Pittsburgh and could catch the show in a month or two. That's kind of how some feel, but nonetheless, money is paid and we'll enjoy the heck out of the shows anyway and just be glad to be there; no harm to opinions about Stevie or her shows, just a little 'sigh'. and move on.

Exactly! You can be disappointed in her choices for this set of Vegas shows and still be happy that she's touring and grateful you have the opportunity to see her. I don't understand how some people can't grasp that.

Many have also stated that the people who are going to these shows are most likely enjoying them and are thrilled they went. But since this was more of an expensive excursion to see these special shows, combined with Stevie's comments about what she planned to perform, it's not surprising that some fans are disappointed. Since Stevie never steps out of her box with her setlist, it seemed all the more special when she was promising a show like nothing we've ever seen. Maybe that should have been the tip off? To her these 3 songs is a huge deal, to us....feh?

I don't think anyone thought it would sit on the shelf for so long.

I'd venture to say though, that it's a little easier for Lindsey to impress people with his setlists, because he has toured so very rarely.

As long as he didn't pull out the same setlist he did on the 'Out Of The Cradle' tour, then he should be able to please the majority of his fans.

But, if he had been touring steadily since 1981, then I'm sure there would be a lot of people saying, "God... 'Go Insane' and 'Big Love' again?!? Why can't he do something like 'Time Bomb Town' instead?"

It's just the nature of the beast. We're diehard fans... we read all the reviews, most of us go to at least one show per tour and some of us more often than that, we trade with each other to get as many bootleg concert videos and CDs as our heart's desire, and so on... so aside from Stevie retiring every song she's ever performed and starting from scratch, there's a lot of room for us to be disappointed.

Don't get me wrong... I'm right with you guys who would love to read a review of one of Stevie's tours, and be absolutely FLOORED by the wide-range of songs she's doing.
In that regard, 'Enchanted' has been the only tour that I was really seriously disappointed I missed out on.

But... if I were to finally have the ability to see Stevie perform live, I know that I wouldn't be the least disappointed by seeing "Rhiannon," "Dreams," "Gold Dust Woman," "Edge Of Seventeen," etc. In fact, after all of these years, I'd probably be pretty bummed if I didn't get to finally experience those songs in person. (Well, I did get to hear some of them on the 'Behind The Mask' tour, but that feels like a lifetime ago now.)

I refuse to even read this thread...not in the mood for a bunch of bull****.
I saw 15 SYW shows and Stevie was so on last night it wasnt even funny.
She may not have done enough for some of ya'll but IMHO it was worth it to fly here for BATB alone. She looked and sounded gorgeous and the atmosphere of the whole thing was indescribable.
She gave it 110 percent and I am grateful to have shared it with her.
No matter what Stevie would have pulled out for these shows, some of you would have complained. Pathetic.

Its the same thing with other bands or artists who do mix it up a lot and change their setlist nightly or every few days and pull out old gems to add to new tours. Fans complain, it goes with the territory

That's true. But I have to give him kudos for doing Down On Rodeo, which is unreleased and songs like Red Rover, Murrow and Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind.
Also, Stevie's catalog is far larger and she has many more songs to choose from so...

Since you are not reading this thread and coming into it rather late, it's not fair to call people pathetic, especially since they didn't see the show and were only reading the thread expecting a lot of rare gems to be performed.

Many of us have posted that the people who went must have had a fabulous time and being there is different from reading a setlist on a message board after all the hype, and being in that theater seeing that same show performed.

Glad you were able to go and have such a fabulous time!

I think you guys are all taking this a little too serious. Last night we were just all excited. We sat here for the whole concert pressing the refresh button to find out what song was next.
I am sure you guys all had a great time. I know I would have. I am totally psyched for June 4th PNC.

And it was one or two songs at at time with a setlist that had virtually no new songs for the first 3/4 of the show... that was posted over a period of almost 2 hours. I imagine that would be different than being in that theater watching it performed.

Intro - Bootylicious
Dreams intro (not sure what he means by this???)
Enchanted
Stop Draggin' My Heart Around
Outside the Rain/
Dreams
Rhiannon
Sorcerer
Stand Back
Landslide
Gold Dust Woman
If Anyone Falls
Fall From Grace

Actually I am very, very grateful I didn't go to the trouble and expense of going to Vegas for any of these shows.I'm also grateful I have a good and vivid memory and can recall the "Wild Heart ' tour where the set list was essentially the same if you trade Sorcerer and FFG out for Gypsy and Sara and Landslide for Leather and Lace.Now that was an incredible show ,passionate and truly wild and what rock and roll should be .Years ago Lindsey lobbed that accusation at Stevie that her show was becoming a "Vegas lounge act' what a strange irony that she is moving toward realizing that accusation.

That's awesome, Marissa... I'm so glad you all had such a great time. That's the most important thing of all... that the people who attended the show, came away from it happy.

My boyfriend will be seeing her at the end of the week, and I know he's going to be thrilled.

Oh, he definitely deserves kudos for that. From all the reviews, Soundstage sounded like a once-in-a-lifetime experience (don't mean to rub that in, Christy!

), and I'm still dying to see it.
Though I stopped holding my breath for it about a year ago. I was tired of constantly fainting from the lack of oxygen!

I think this is a case where the fact that she has had more chart hits than LB, can be very straitjacketing. People who go to her shows... aside from the die-hards, of course... expect to hear all of the radio hits, or at least a large majority of them. And Stevie apparently feels obligated to comply.

I think there's probably a far larger diehard fan to casual fan ratio at one of LB's shows, so that works in our favor in regards to the setlist.
