Default Stevie Performing "New Songs"

I dunno why, but I just felt the need to post this as a new thread cuz I want to go on the record as saying I'm so happy with all the new or new/old songs Stevie has been performing over the last couple of months.

There was speculation during the SYW tour about how comfortable she felt with performing new songs. And although many of the new songs she's been performing recently may not necessarily be new in the truest sense, I think she has done a smashing job performing them. She seems very comfortable doing them as well.

After the SYW shows, it's been a real breath of fresh air, a cool drink of water and a refreshing experience to see and hear these songs. Did I mention I think her vocal abilities on these songs have far outshined anything I could ever have hoped for? Last time we got this lucky was the Enchanted tour.

Am I feeling the love tonight or what?!


There.... I said it.

Laura

I agree. Looking (and listening) back, she just was not up to par for many of the TISL & SYW shows. She seems to have a lot more energy this tour, looks happier & enjoys singing the new tunes. Her vocals sound stronger & she holds the notes longer. Seeing her now compared to then really puts it into perspective. And getting to hear & see her do different tunes is exciting & frecsh & new.

Don't get me wrong - I have NEVER been disappointed in a Stevie or Mac performance that I've seen personally. I have never walked out of a show & said "well that sucked." Yes, some were better than others, but none were bad, IMO. It's just that I think she's in top form right now, on scale with 97/98.

I just don't understand why she doesnt go deep into her catalogue and find good songs to perform instead of these two covers she's been doing. There are so many songs we will NEVER hear live and that sucks!

You should have attended the Mansfield '04 show with me, silly.

I'm pretty knocked out over Circle Dance and if she could do stuff like that on a more regular basis and maybe perform slightly different sets each night like 90% of other touring artists, I'd be very happy.

But look at all the songs she has done:

Rhiannon
Landslide

Dreams
Chain
GDW

Sara
SOTM
Angel
Beautiful Child

Bella Donna
Blue Lamp
SDMHA
Think About It
ATGF
Edge
Leather and Lace
Outside the Rain
HSML

If Anyone Falls
Enchanted
I Will Run To You (once)
Nightbird
B&TB
Stand Back

Gypsy

I Can't Wait
HAEWAFY
Talk To Me
No Spoken Word

Seven Wonders

Rooms on Fire
Juliet
Alice
Two Kinds of Love
WLT

LAHGTP

Love Is Dangerous

Blue Denim
Destiny
Docklands
Maybe Love

Sweet Girl

Some albums have been produced more on stage, but some songs just don't do well live. I don't think covers are a bad thing at all. I would rather have a beautiful cover than a song from her past that sucked live.

You know what, you are absolutely right. You have a very good point. Some songs just dont sound well live.

A healthy chunk of those songs haven't been played in many, many years.

True - but it stands to reason the lesser songs from the set of the album being promoted are dropped for the lesser songs from the album currently being promoted. Now that she is not promoting a record, she is doing a cover, which IMO is the obscure BC moment of this tour I also think the promoters of her concerts have a huge say in what she plays because she tours in such a big way. She implies this when she says in interviews that she has to play certain songs and no one ever lets her play any song she wants, etc. She said the only time they let her do that was at the Blockbuster Awards and she played FFG, which at the time was unknown, not the single, and which I think was a big risk for her.

But, I do wish she would exchange her hits like ROF and TTM for SDHA, etc.

I agree. It seems that Stevie has so much energy and passion during her shows these past 2 months and it is refreshing and makes me so happy for her because she really seems to be enjoying herself again. This is her life, after all and it looks like she's happy.

The question is then...what will happen to her set when Don is gone next week? Are more obsure songs emerging? Will she just keep the set she has now and add back the Vegas songs? There is nothing to promote, so what will we get?

That, my friend, is indeed the million dollar question.
