Songbird/Seven Wonders

[The Juggler]

I'd say it's Stevie herself who got sick of it, from the videos I watched she's going through the motions with the song. She didn't even write it, so I'd say she is just bored with it.

Pity for the likes of me, who was looking forward to hearing it.

+1 Seven Wonders is beautiful... so is Songbird.

But she seemed to really like linking it to American Horror Story. Michele

I'm sad that is gone. I was going to shout COVEN!!! before the song started and record her saying "American Horror Story", my favorite TV show.

-- a disposable Fleetwood Mac track, if there can be one.

...but you are wrong, Seven Wonders is absolutely brilliant

I agree. Seven Wonders is (in spite of the shape her voice was in at the time) one of her best vocals ever. So much personality in it. That song is brilliant and even her rendition of it now sounded inspired. My only criticism is that it sounds like they were playing it slow. But nevertheless, I wish it were still in the set.

"Songbird" is such an iconic way to close the show.....personally, I wouldn't mind if Chris just stood there with someone else playing behind her!

It wouldn't be quite as iconic then, now would it?

I spoke to Sharon after the Bakersfield show last night and I asked her what happened to Songbird and Seven Wonders. She said that the band is just tired after performing so many shows with such a long set list. She added that Seven Wonders is hard for Stevie to sing also. She said that they've been considering doing the songs again each night but then the set list is too long. I told her I loved hearing Seven Wonders but it probably won't help.
