Never underestimate the magic of Stevie Nicks, TBF!
Oh- I would never underestimate Stevie--you should know that by now. She sounded great in that video but......
BTW--will also say I didn't hate the Keith & LA video of 7BR either. It was pretty good but doesn't mean I want the Chicks singing it with our guys.
GH --glad to know I'm not the only one feeling that way!
He sings it high, he plays it low
Oh, I know, I was just teasing. But I never get tired of watching that video. They sound terrific together. Plus, in 2001, Stevie released the song "Too far from Texas" which also featured great harmony from Natalie Maines. I can't find it online so you guys can hear it, but I have listened to it many, many times, and I love it. So, keeping that in mind, I will go ahead and say...
While it's true that they aren't the greatest songwriters in the world, The Dixie Chicks can harmonize like nobody's business and the ladies can play as well as sing (the one on the fiddle is especially talented). In other words, they ain't so bad.

1948-2016 Gone but not forgotten
EL, this aroused my curiosity. You once said in chat that you've never seen the Eagles live. Now you say you would pay to see all three acts together.
Are you saying that the Eagles on their own was never enough incentive for you to want to see them live? As I remember you said you couldn't afford to see them.
Are you considering going to see all three acts?
I've been watching the Keith Urban SBR videos with different artists and have come to the conclusion that it would be so cool for Keith to leave this in his show and say something like, "I have some very special friends here tonight who are going to help me with this next one..." and out come the Eagles!
Why it should happen: This would not only give the audience a sneak peak of the guys before they do their own set, it would make them appear accessable and humble, I think. The crowd would go wild!
Why it won't happen: Unfortunately, I'm afraid the Eagles would not agree to this because they would feel it would somehow lower them as the status of being the main attraction. But they would be wrong. When Joe came onstage before his set and played with JD and the Straight Shots at the IL State Fair the crowd loved it. It made him seem very humble and down to earth. Now I realize that Joe is not the Eagles, but as I stated, I think this would just make the crowd anxious for more. In fact, I should be on the planning committee for this show...
