How Many Will See or Not See Stevie Live in 2011?

StandbackStevie · #1 11-10-2010, 05:27 AM

I am curious on how many from the board are planning on Seeing Stevie's Concert Tour next Summer? I want to say my Foxwoods Show was my last show, I just can't spend the money anymore on concerts so my concert days are over for now. I will be buying her new cd but won't be able to go to the concert. I had a wonderful time at The Foxwoods show in Aug. it was awesome.

If she comes to the UK, I'll go see her. If not I can't. I just don't have the money (or the inclination) to fly over to America D:

IF the new material is good...and after i read a review or 2..IF she switches the 30+ year old setlist up...MAYBEEEeeee i will go...the lasttime isaw her and she was "good" was 1998 "Enchanted" tour...she played alot of stuff she had not played b4..."after the glitter fades," "garbo," "twisted," not to mention a few others...i kno "dreams" was their only #1 hit and she should b very proud of that song...but i can no longer take it live unless it is cancelled out by a fresher, not often heard song..PLEASE STEVIE...REVIEW THAT ANCIENT SET LIST

I will go if she heads this way- I always do.

I probably wount see her, like jrpjr, i don't think the set list is great. but maybe lets see. If someone goes and says it was awsome then maybe i'll let myself be convinced and i'll go see it. but if the feedback isn't all that great then i woun't. Don't have enough money to go watch a bad show. sorry.

At this point I'm going to say probably not for quite a few reasons:

1) Money. This is the biggest one.
2) She never comes to Austin... and I really don't like going into Houston or Dallas.
3) I'm chiefly a Fleetwood Mac fan, and Stevie focuses too much on her solo career for my tastes during her solo shows (yes, I know that's because it's her solo career).
4) Stevie's voice has been deteriorating for so long... it's just hard to stomach live these days. Especially since she doesn't really move around much on the stage anymore either, there's not much of a reason for me to go.
5) It sounds like she's going to perform relatively little of her new album. I'm just so sick of Rhiannon, Edge, and Dreams.

There are some factors which could change my mind, tho and I think they'd have to be in tandem:

1) Most importantly... if I come into some money.
2) If Stevie's new album is fantastic, and reviews of her first few shows are off the charts.
3) If Stevie thoroughly mixes up her setlist, including the addition of several songs from the new album.

I will definitely go see Stevie every chance I get. It's always a memorable experience.

I have to agree with most of your reasons for not going but I'm going regardless. No going to see Stevie live when she's within a reasonable distance from me just feels wrong. I donno why, I just feel like I should be there. I will admit though that because of her deteriorating voice and just overall lack of passion (my opinion guys- that's all) I sometimes find myself covering my eyes and being kind of nervous for her when she's performing. Last year at the New Orleans show I could tell she was struggling and I didn't like it one bit. I think the biggest reason I will go see her and go see FM the following year would be because it may be the last tours....so I better go.

I definitely want to! Probably mean another 6 hour drive to 'Casino-Rama' in Ontario (where Stevie usually plays when she's in Canada).

It's about time we get to hear some new material on stage, plus get to see/buy some new merch at the booths.

TerraRhiannon · #10 11-10-2010, 10:09 AM

If she comes anywhere close to here I will go in a heartbeat!

I'll go if Jannie goes.
I haven't seen Madame Nicks since ... 2003, I think.

In other words, Louie, you're not going.

I don't see her making it for a UK audience too. But if she ever did, I'd be down at the box office buying tickets in a heartbeat. No questions asked. I've only ever seen one Mac show and none of them individually so even if it was the same old, I'd still enjoy the hell out of it for the experience alone.

Christopher · #14 11-10-2010, 10:50 AM

Hmmm...The excitement of a brand new record & possible documentary screenings at art house theaters a week before her tour dates w. Dave Stewart as opening act, it's a no brainer for me... Of course I will go!

Plus if you add in the fact that this may be the last big solo tour. It wouldn't feel right to miss it. I don't think Stevie would ever bill it as her last tour, But I suspect aside from FM's obligatory farewell tour in 2012 or so, Stevie will only tour sporadically afterwards before retiring from the road outright in the next 4-5 yrs.

I haven't decided yet.

I skipped the Crystal Visions gig, but have seen every show prior to that going back to Enchanted, and even went to Vegas for the much-hyped but totally underwhelming shows there in May 2005.

For me to pay Stevie's ticket prices again, she's going to need a setlist that is at least 75% different from the past decade.

These days I'd much rather pay $20 to see an up-and-coming artist playing new material at a small venue. I saw Kate Nash on Saturday,and thought she put on a great show - she played guitar, piano, and completely entertained the audience of about 350 people - one of the best shows I've been to in years. Adele, James Morrison, Neko Case, The Cinematics, Hockey, Eric Hutchinson - all more interesting as far as live shows go, and I could see almost all of them for the same price Stevie asks for one show.
