If money was no object...

If money and other obligations were no object, would you follow Stevie's 2011 tour from city to city? Why or why not? If anybody has done this, I'd love to hear your experience.

My answer is no. I'm afraid seeing Stevie onstage every night in different cities would lose its luster. The magic would fade some because it would be too familiar. Less is more. I think after a couple of shows I would become more interested in this new town I was in than seeing her concert that night. However, I regret only seeing FM once on the Unleashed tour. I think two shows on one tour is a pretty good amount, maybe three shows if her set list changed night after night. (In all honesty, I'm thankful just to see her once on tour, but if we're talking ideally...)

Now you guys chime in, I may change my answer

Yes. And I'm doing it this summer. SO EXCITED!

Personally, I wouldn't. I saw Fleetwood Mac 3 times during the Say You Will tour, and each show was about 6 months apart. I can honestly say by the time the third show rolled around, much of the magic had worn off for me. The same staged, memorized speeches in between songs, the same setlist, same outfits, etc. I would go see multiple shows again if neat venues were involved, though. For instance, I would kill to see Stevie at Red Rocks, or even the Santa Barbara Bowl. I just think seeing the same exact show night in and night out would really be dull, though.

The only way I would do it is if I was part of her entourage and she actually knew I existed. So therefore, no I would not.
"Something you don't touch because it hurts too much".
That pretty much sums it up.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Honestly, I'll be shocked if I do one show on the tour. It might be different if the fan base were as close knit as other bands and Stevie (also true for others in the band, BTW) mixed up the set a bit more.

I'd be bored stiff after about three shows.

I'd use the money to 'convince' Christine to record a Blues album with Bonnie Raitt and Peter Green.

That's why I haven't seen Stevie since '05... same sh!t, different day. I will go see her once whenever she releases her new album, though. I do love hearing new music live!

Having attended a number of Unleashed shows, I would totally do it again! Yes, the show is pretty much the same from night to night; however, there are subtle differences that make each show special. But I have to admit that my fondest memories were around the romance of travel- just darting around from city to city like a wayward gypsy and seeing/experiencing new things. As such, if she did a three-month tour of Kansas, I would probably pass... but if the travel itinerary is interesting and fits in with my schedule, I would totally do it. I would love it if she would tour Australia again- it would give me an excuse to do some more exploration down under!

No, I wouldn't follow a Stevie tour, but definitely FM.

I'd be bored, since Nothing Ever Changes. Well, except things get dropped. By the third night, my interest would revolve on whether she'd wear suede platforms or black pleather sneakers with sequins on the toes.

My plan is to sneak myself into the entourage

SandyMac · #14 09-22-2010, 10:18 PM

Hell Yeah! If money were no object and I had front row center, I am there! Granted, the set list would be the same show after show, but for me it is Stevie, the band, and the audience that I am experiencing and there are differences from show to show. Plus, if money were no object... why not?

Oh, and yes, I would have to get into her entourage or at least get Landslide dedicated to me to make it extra special.

or a photo op where I get more than just a passing moment and a chance to talk to her for more than 5 min.

.... oh, wait.. the dream is over? What? Oh yeah, back to reality.

We can all Dream right?

Stevie Nicks the new Jerry Garcia?
