Now can we guess who would join her in Vegas?

Most likely her 'usuals'

Now that's a double-bill I wouldn't mind paying top dollar to see.

I agree. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. Why go back this direction when reuniting with Fleetwood Mac was such a boost to her career overall? She was doing the state fair circuit in the mid 90s. The Dance rescued her career from that. The Say You Will tour was enough of a success to warrant doing more Mac music. Going back to the greatest hits well too often, or doing a joint tour with no new music from either artist is a big step backward, imo.

I, for one, am "whining and crying" about this prospect because this means a short Stevie set. What an hour and fifteen TOPS? I am gonna fly to Vegas, spend a ****load of money to see her and someone I cannot stand? I think Henley will share the stage with her in Vegas..to get ready for this summer thing.
Alot of the other decisions Stevie has been making really make me wonder what is going on. It seems pretty obvious the girl could not need money but she is certainly going down the route of grabbing the most cash fast. The Vegas residency gig, the double bill with Don, another GH package. Those are all about money and nothing about the fans. Perhaps her people see the end looming and want her to make them a truckload first.

Curtis crying: "Waaaaahh, oh no, I have to go see Stevie live again waaaaaah, even thought I don't really want to just hear hits waaaaah or see Henley at all waaaaaaah"

Yeah, life's tough sometimes, ain't it?

I still have this feeling that we might not see a new album from her. I really have a feeling that she'll buy out her contract. Maybe this is some sort of agreement they've reached in order to make them part of the money back that they would inevitably loose if she didn't come out and make another album

However, she'd still end up owing them money if she has two albums to go. It's total nostalgia overkill but I'm sure it'll make them a decent amount of money (the label...not necessarily Stevie herself). I suppose only time will tell though and hopefully i'm wrong.

Great point! I concur! I like Sheryl Crow and her collaborations with Stevie. The thing about Sheryl is...she seems to show up everywhere, playing with everyone. Her overexposure comes close to overshadowing her talent...to the point where she is becoming known more as a celebrity than a rock and roller. Stevie was smart to keep some mystery and be more elusive.

Not sure what to think of the Henley Nicks tour. Great if we get to hear Highway Man...and dare say...some new duets!? But afraid it will be rehashed oldies tour.

I'd love love love to see her make an album and tour with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. That band really respects her and compliments her songs immensely. Plus Tom is a really mover/shaker. i.e. he had the balls to play his entire Last DJ album in concert, and then ended it with a few old favorites.

I bet his fans didn't complain one bit about the "hits" he didn't play. It was a great show and he displayed confidence and relevance by playing his new stuff. The audience was with him. Maybe some of that confidence can rub off on Stevie. Supposedly it already has - "That Made Me Stronger" - but I haven't seen it yet.

The record companies make most of their money from the sales of their artists' albums. The artists make more money on tour...I don't believe there is big profit margin for record companies.

, can't say I blame her.

I totally agree with you here.
