BEST POST EVER!!! Welcome to the Ledge!!!

[sleepless child]

I don't mind any of the songs she wants to sing on this tour, just freshen them up a bit. Change it a little. She has been singing Rhiannon the same way since the Dance.

I need new arrangements please. I liked the new ending she did on Leather and Lace the other night.

[Macfanforever]

I'm sorry to say that she probably has to cut the setlist short this time due to the Pretenders performance.Again I wish she would tour by herself .These combo tours take too much time away from the main artists setlist and they got to go against the clock for that BS 11 pm curfew. That 8:20 crap got to stop too.Come out on time.For hope for a longer show from her this time is more likely not going to happen.The start time for here is 7:30PM for the Mohegan Sun Show.let see what happens.

Speaking of Zeps Stairway.Its on the radio as I type this post.

The start time is 7:30, so I think that will leave Stevie enough time to do a full set. I don't think she would play over 1:45 in any case.

I would be happy for Stevie to sing all and any of her entire catalogue including her Fleetwood Mac contributions. I've refocused priorities. There will come a day when we won't hear any of it live again...

OK .I agree.I'll be surprised that she will hit 90 minutes.

I agree.I keep thinking and keep saying Glen Campbell's and Linda Ronstadt 's career got cut short.We are so lucky the we still have her and the Mac.I will we can put all the stuff to bed and go and enjoy the show.

Songs that have ZERO reason to be in the set list this year:

1. Enchanted!!! I swear if she does this danmed song she'll have to do at least 4 really impressive surprises or i will not go to any shows. Its an enjoyable song but it will never be a showstopper and she's used at as a deep cut in way too many previous tours this decade. It serves no purpose.

2. Love Is- I'll admit pulling this song out of left field for her very short 2010 tour was one of stevia's greatest setlist shockers this century. Plus she did the demo version that has never been released and it's one of her greatest live vocal performances, BUT it should not close this show. It's not well known, so it doesn't need to close her shows from now until she retires. Pick something else.

3.Rock and Roll/I Need To Know- Do your own songs only Or at the ver least do a different cover. I would have no issues with a new cover song and i don't understand why so many of you have this no covers policy with Stevie.

4. Outside the Rain/How Still My Love/Sorcerer/Fall From Grace- I lumped these 4 together because I think they are all incredible live. The 2 TISL songs in particular get better on every tour and I give Stevie a lot of credit for keeping both of them in her set as long as she did. But all 4 of these songs have been caught on both CD and DVD multiple times and they really should't be played this tour. They are all as unknown as her 24KG songs and need to go to make room for new or never played songs.

Songs I don't want to be in the set but I'd understand why they were:

1. If Anyone Falls
2. Leather and Lace
3. Talk To Me
4. Lady


Not Songs But:

1. Length of Gold Dust Woman- Stevie says in interviews this is a song people expect from her. OK, but do people expect it to be 10 minutes long! I love how long the song is in Fleetwood Mac and how epic it is. But she needs that song to be like that in Fleetwood Mac because it's her only opportunity to have such an epic showstopping event. Plus Fleetwood Mac the band play the **** out of it. On this tour it should be a quick 4 and a half minute song. Now long intro or outro, just the basic song like the 1998 version with Sheryl Crow.

2. Edge Walk- Above all Else, don't do the danmed edge walk this tour. I know this will be unpopular but I'm so sick of this being a thing. Its great she's kept it up so long but enough. Why do we all care about this anyways? Eliminate all the anxiety of trying to get up front plus we save 5 minutes to do another song. The whole arena benefits, not just a select few. It's not like we get quality time with Stevie or even get to speak to her. I've gotten up front 2 of the 4 times I saw her solo and honestly getting to touch her hand wasn't anywhere near the highlight of the show for me.

People don't want Stevie to do covers live when so many of her own songs are ignored. I think most fans would rather hear the Wild Heart than Need to Know, for example.

Exactly - it was different in 1981 when Stevie had only a handful of songs to build a set-list with, and she needed an uptempo rocker to liven up the show. Because face it - many of her songs are total downers. That's what I love about her music, so that is not a criticism.

But now? Stevie has a vast amount of songs to choose from. She doesn't need I Need To Know, or Rock & Roll, or any other song that isn't her own. If she wants an uptempo rocker, she's got: Kick It, No Spoken Word, In Your Dreams, Starshine, Imperial Hotel, Sister Honey, Nothing Ever Changes, Everybody Finds Out - and many, many more. She could also reinvent an old song, or sing an unreleased song.

Point is - Stevie doesn't need to pad her set-list with material that isn't her own, and frankly, I don't know why she would even want to. She can't possibly be bored with her own material.

Yes, as much of a delightful surprise as Crash was, she has songs that she has written that she could take out of moth balls and stun the audience with just as strongly.

I have a ticket (will call) to Stevie's show at the Golden 1 Centre in Sacramento CA.

Agreed re: covers. Don't do them. We're already going to be listening to great music written by other people that same night, that is, Chrissy Hynde and The Pretenders.

There is absolutely no need for covers to be performed. I love Back on the Chain Gang and I'm positive it will be included in the show.

Songs I don't want Stevie to do when I see her perform in December:
Crash into Me
Rock n Roll
Need to Know
(I love all of the above tunes but I know their inclusion means the exclusion of deep cuts and unreleased demos that I would rather hear instead.)
I also don't want:
Dreams
Gold Dust Woman
(But Landslide is a must, sorry! Has to be done!)
Rhiannon I can take it or leave it, but let's be honest: Stevie Nicks ALWAYS does Dreams, Gold Dust Woman, Landslide and Rhiannon at EVERY show.

I don't want Ghosts Are Gone, as I Don't Care is a much better choice.

I do want basically anything off 24 Karat Gold including Twisted and (my favourite) Watch Chain, except for Mabel Normand. I'm going to be mildly disappointed if Belle Fleur is not included in the set. I want at least half a dozen songs from 24 KG and 3-4 songs from IYD, but NOT Soldier's Angel.

That's all from me on this one!

i agree
when Dave Mathews dropped out of doing it with her on sound stage she should have dropped it , this and here voice in free falling are harsh like touched by an angel and if you ever did believe I can't get past the first 2 words
