And also - the boots are not back. Looks like some sort of frankenbock situation but almost looks like tennis shoes. Hey, whatever makes her comfortable on stage I guess we can't complain.
Edit: Apparently in a recorded version of the show I heard on YouTube, she found out she broke one of her toes, so that's why.

Thanks Krrrby! The big surprise here is that she added I Sing For the Things. This is a shock because it certainly is a deep cut. It’s also a surprise because of all the solo songs she could have chosen from, this has to be near the bottom of the request list of the fans. I mean, Stevie chose this song over If I Were You? Imperial Hotel? Talk to Me?

And she brought back Soldier’s Angel. I don’t even remember what album this song was on but whichever one it was, it was probably my least favorite song.

So for her solo shows, she brought back Sara, Fall From Grace, and Soldier’s Angel, and added For What It’s Worth and I Sing For the Things.

Here is her performance of I Sing For Things. She never knows her own stuff. She claims she did not know when she wrote it and says it was recorded in 1986. It was originally recorded during Wild Heart sessions which is a good version. The song was ruined on RAL and she even speaks ill of that recording. She says here that she does not remember when it was written and was recorded in 1986 when she was not in a good place. It was most likely recorded in 1984 or 1985 for RAL. It was recorded in 1982/1983 for Wild Heart. I always thought I Sing For Things would have made Wild Heart but the bouncy piano that Roy plays made it sound too much like Enchanted. Just my opinion.

I dont think she is proud of her RAL work. She did do No Spoken Word quite a bit. However that was one of the few songs on RAL that she wrote all by herself. Vocally its not bad either. Other than that song, HAEWAFY, and maybe I Sing For The Things (which was written and recorded many years before RAL), she does not care for this album. As much as you like it, you must remember there are many and probably including her that realize its an un-Stevie album. Its a reminder of how unwell she was. She just played a part and filled in the blanks just to finish the album. Hardly something she wants to put in her set. But just for you and the RAL freaks out there, she should do Sister Honey and moonwalk in those high tops.

I know she’s said in the past her father didn’t like the Other Side of the Mirror, and that she didn’t like Street Angel, so you’re probably right about RAL. And she could sing Sister Honey for myself and other “RAL freaks out there,” but she’d be smarter to sing her last top 10 hit Talk to Me instead.

As for RAL being an un-Stevie like album… that’s probably why I do like it.

All of those albums she was heavily addicted to drugs which definitely hurt the quality.
RAL was just a party. She could care less about the sound or song writing
OSOTM she had trouble writing and was too drugged to notice many things
Street Angel was a noble effort but it was her rock bottom.

I dont think she cares for the song Talk To Me. She did it on RAL as necessary promotion and dropped it on her next tour. She dug it out again for her promotion of Timespace since it was one of the songs on the album. Besides Street Angel which she was trying to be relevant again, has she ever performed it again? Her RAL staples in concert have always been No Spoken Word and HAEWAFY.

I always saw the quality of I sing for the things. But always hated the song because of the cheezy electronic bass and other 80s gadgets. It needed to be acoustic or uptempo like on Wild Heart. She sounds so fragile on the RAL version and you can tell not much effort was put into the song. Having said all that, its still in the better half of songs on RAL (which is not saying much).

That must have hurt. Kudos to her for for carrying on.

Did she dedicate Landslide to Christine?

[blinker12]

Aw she sounds great on “I Sing for the Things!” I’m a huge fan of the Wild Heart arrangement of this song, which this version is clearly inspired by, even if it lacks some of the punch and variety. I wanted a break-down on the last verse and then a build up to a bigger vocal climax with the backup singers at the end (“Anythiiiiiiing….”) Still, good stuff!

[On Ice]

I'm impressed! She does the song justice and it transfers to the stage extremely well, my ears hear bits of both versions in the arrangement. Kudos where it's due for her pulling out a Rock a Little song (although still, not a great album by any stretch) but a reimagining shows the tunes with better arrangements and vocals, were actually pretty good.

Sharon was not on stage with Stevie in Florida tonight. After Landslide, she spoke of her 47 year friendship with Christine and how there was never a harsh word. I think it was right for her to keep Landslide about Christine.

I am surprised she hasn't said anything about Tina's passing. She wrote about and spoke live about Elizabeth Windsor's passing last year. Pretty much all the big names in music have said something, including Ann and Nancy, Sheryl Crow and Cyndi Lauper.

Elizabeth II was Queen of the Empi… Commonwealth. Not exactly the same thing as a rock singer Brownsville, Tennessee.

Awww, Tina. My opinion is where she's from is not relevant in discussing her importance versus Elizabeth Windsor. But Stevie also last year made public statements about Aaron Carter, ONJ, and Naomi Judd.

I think a Tina post is definitely coming today. RollingStone's main page had the headline "Queen of Rock and Roll, Dead at 83." Many of the major news channels said the same.

What do you think about Stevie's setlist? She used pre-records of Sharon's vocals!

She gets in trouble when she overembellishes. No doubt being two women in a group made them have a special bond. I truly believe she is heartfelt about missing Christine. But when she claims there were never harsh words and in the interview she claims she never had a fight with Chris is a bit sugar coated. There were years when they never saw each other. Chris never put up with anyone's bull unless it was her lover. No doubt she put Stevie in her place more than a few times. Even in families there are fights. Fleetwood Mac is famous for infighting. So I hate it when she says they never had a fight. Impossible to believe. In 1984 Chris even sort of bashed Stevie for her life stating "10 years ago she really had her feet on the ground. Today she has created a fantasy world that I am not a part of. We don't socialize much." They were bandmates and got along when they were together. Best friends visit and talk on the phone and hang out. But like anyone's passing she always wants to take possession of it. I know she's still putting up photos of Tom but please dont tell me she's still doing the Prince photoshopped photo production.

I am not surprised Sara was dropped from her set. It was the one surprise she had and its throwing her off. She sticks to the same set over and over.

If it's true she didn't play Sara this week, I think it will be held for the Billy Joel shows.

So if you see her solo you get 17 songs including I Sing For the Things and Soldier's Angel. If you see her with Billy, you get 16 songs but you get Sara as the exclusive.

As for Fall From Grace returning, I wonder if she rehearsed Planets of the Universe too, which is her other fierce lyric. But Fall From Grace does keep people bopping their heads where POTU may get people to take their seats.
