Songs you hope Stevie won't sing on her tour

I get that people want to hear "the hits", but bring out a few deep cuts each tour instead of random covers and balance that with the crowd pleasers.

You see, I'm not gonna broadly say no covers. Just no I Need to Know and absolutely no Rock and Roll.her random covers are just as good as new songs to me. In fact I've seen people here even praise other artists for their set lists and many times these artists play tons of covers per tour. Tom Petty is the first thing that comes to my mind. Yet stevie always gets blasted for playing covers. I think the short lived spontaneous performances of Circle Dance and Face the Promise were some of the best set lists decisions ever. Talk about unexpected. And unless you are also a die hard bob Seger fan how was face the promise not the same experience as her playing gold and braid in 1981?

So I would not be disappointed at all with an out of left field cover taking the precious space of one of her own songs, as long as it provides a great live stevie experience.

But this is excluding rock and roll and I need to know.

I hope"I Cant Fix This" dont get played or I probably enjoy it as long as Waddy is playing it.I 'm not in the mood for the noise factory that Dave G produces,..

I liked her Face the Promise too.

Do you think we will get to see her join the Pretenders for a few? Nah, more likely vice versa, huh?

I agree. No matter how good they might sound. She needs to do only songs that she's written.

Ditch Rock and Roll.

I like You Can't Fix This a lot, but I agree that she shouldn't sing any covers on this tour, or songs that never made it on her album. Why sing covers when she has so many songs in her own catalog she hasn't sang? I'd love it if she whipped out Sometimes It's a Bitch instead of Need to Know, for example. Or Doing the Best That I Can.

I'll repeat it again.The only cover that I want to hear Stevie cover is her version of "Silent Night".Others . NOOOOOOO.

Agreed... I think she needs to stop using her work with FM as a crutch.

I really don't think that's Stevie's intent... Lord knows she's got enough hits and songs on her own that she could sing. But she thinks people will be disappointed if she doesn't sing Dreams, Landslide, etc. I appreciate she's thinking about the fans, I just hope she'll keep the FM songs down to 2, that might be the most realistic scenario.

But using her FM songs as a crutch? I really don't think that's the case.

Boo for this thread <>

As I posted above I wish the set list could just grow instead of get cut. Work the next day can just wait. Don't they get we are at a Stevie Nicks concert? Priorities!
