Wow, how cool is that? Thank you for posting.

[omigodstevie]

Sweet! I'd be there in a heartbeat if I could, we're only an hour away...but we just can't afford it right now :\

[newyawka]

boy, she really snuck this one up...i wonder when she got back from europe.

[michelej1]

What a surprise.

There have got to be more up her sleeve. She is not going to get her band together just for one show.

[MacMan]

Remember during the dedication of Landslide at the PNC in Holmdel - last show of the tour in June - she thanked the people that loaned her their house to holiday in and she said that she was going away for three months to rest so that she could come back at the end of the summer and start again.

I guess she stuck to her word!

[rocknalittle]

This is so cool, I am sure there is more instore, I cant wait to see!!! I need a Stevie Show!!! Come to california, please!!! Thanks for the post!

[SpyNote]

Stevie has been more random about her shows over the last three years. She's kind of living the life of a retiree, whatever she feels like doing. Maybe she's planning another visit to Walter Reed.

[steviefan59]

yup! at this point, another show is just that...another show.

[gdw526]

Hey Daniel ~ funny you write about Walter Reed...a couple weeks ago a friend from Maryland told me he read in the local paper THE CECIL WHIG something about Stevie Nicks and someone else doing something down that way...Cecil County is in Maryland and very close by is Walter Reed...hhmmm...I've not been able to find anything on the web through that papers' past publications...my friend did not remember exactly what was written and of course he no longer had the paper !!

come to cali?~ i know she didn't hit there this last tour, but my god, she usually has so many dates there it is ridiculous~ there are whole chunks of the country that she disses~ like where i am from~ she hasn't played here solo in 22 years~ & she sold out the venue & has tons of fans here~

the mac played here for the say you will tour & sold out too~ but they hadn't been here since the tusk tour~ they did have dates scheduled here for other tours & actually sold out their tix, only to cancel~

she needs to spread herself out more~ it's not fair that she plays the same places over & over & over~

you know she says she getting older & such~ well so are her fans~ & when i was younger (in my 20's) it was nothing to throw a bag in the back of my car & follow her to the ends o the earth~ but now i am 40, i wrk, i am a mom~ & i just can't follow her where ever she feels the need to play~ she should connsider this~

[melacine]

Ok, I just got tickets, thanks for the heads up everyone! They don't have a seating chart at Ticketmaster or on the casino's website, so I was kinda going in blindly. I'm section 110, row D.


I'm so excited!!!!!!


luv,
Shel

[Wldhrt315]

I think it is interesting that she is doing one show in Detroit, without a known reason. It makes me think of the last tour when she would give this story of how Jimmy Iovine was helping Bob Segar record an album and one day Bob did not show up to the studio. Later in the day Jimmy got ahold of him and Bob said was an hour outside of Detroit. He was going to play a show.

Maybe Stevie wanted to do the same. Haha. Who knows what the reason for this one night show is about. I had wondered at first why she was going to play at the Rosemont Theatre in Illinois but then there was Soundstage.

[starshine]

Thats very interesting that she will be here in Michigan again. Those tickets are high and well I've already paid that high price this summer at PK/DTE this yr. I don't think I'll be going esp if its the "same set list" as this summer anyway. Personally why bother.....plus the holidays are coming up and I have to think about gifts. So sorry Stevie not this time.......IMO anyway....no offence anyone....I'm sure I'll hear about the whole thing on here anyway.....I see now the Soundstage thing is pushed back til next yr too.....not soo surprised.....:shrug::rolleyes:

Hmmmm...... yeah no seating chart anywhere!! I just got sec 110 row E.......... this is kind of weird and out of no where and I def. couldn't afford this :distress:

[omigodstevie]

I think the reason she's coming there is because the Motor City Casino is brand new. It just opened a couple months ago, I think. She probably just wants to perform there. :)

The casino isn't new...... but now from reading the article it sounds like the Sound Board theatre or whatever it is called is new......... it is the grand opening it sounds like but I'm not positive on that--should be interesting!! I'm just kicking myself for not checking out this board sooner to know tickets went on sale yesterday :mad: And I actually had the day off of work so I could have def been online first thing when they went on sale :distress: Did anyone get orchestra or the floor tickets??

[Glittermoondust]

oh and if it is new that would maybe explain the no seating chart??

Anita Baker is opening the venue October 23rd.

They made her an offer she couldn't refuse.:thumbsup:

[CADreaming]

They made her an offer she couldn't refuse.:thumbsup:

Definitely a business decision. Not like she's touring. She's starting rehearsals with the Mac in January...probably needs the money to buy Christmas presents - or is giving her band a gig so they can buy theirs! LOL

[carol7lynn]

I think that the floor may be GA.

Not positive on this one but when I tried ordering tickets the first hour, just to see what I could pull up, when I selected the top price tickets GA was displayed in the section box. About an hour later they change that. Long story short, no floor tickets have been available (I tried for those from the get-go too), no casino VIP packages and no broker tickets period. I'm thinking that they are holding the floor seats back and they will be GA-first come first served. We'll see.

[steviefan59]

hey carol ann...i tried unsuccessfully to get floor to and ended up calling the ticket bastard office...i ended up in section 150 row A seat 1...seems like the floor is reserved for the punters (to use a british term) high rollers and comps...but yeah this place is soooooo new there isnt a seating chart but i was told that the section im in is 1 step up from the floor...if u want to look me up and say hi im in my sisters of the moon tshirt royal blue in color...hugs pat

[Zombie]

come to cali?~ i know she didn't hit there this last tour, but my god, she usually has so many dates there it is ridiculous~

She kind of did, if you count the shows at the beginning of February - I wandered out to Anaheim for the one at Fullerton, but that's because I am goofy.

But that sucks that she doesn't do shows near enough to you.

When I am rich, I shall purchase a van and turn it into an enormous tophat on wheels. Then I will tool back and forth across the land, picking up stray Ledgies, and dragging them to shows.

To raise gas money, I'll get a loudspeaker to play an ice cream truck version of "Rhiannon" really loud, and sell sno-cones out the back.

I will bet that she will do some more casino shows before the year is out...

I SOOO have a sneaking feeling you are SOO right on this one! But just where? Any guesses? LOLOL:shrug:

Awwwww.. I'm SOOO jealous that I can't meet you at this show Pat, and see you wearing your beautiful shirt! :p- I just KNOW you will get up to that stage (with a little help) and get to see Stevie and shake her hands! :xoxo:

[galestreet]

I wish that I could be there, yet fate prevents such an endeavor,maybe just maybe she will talk to her people and play at the Ryman (in Nashville), I keep hoping somebody will read one of my posts and somehow somewhere it will reach Stevie. Good luck, right?! Stranger things have happened...:blob2::blob1::blob2::blob1::blob2::blob2::blob2:

[Musicman408]

Why didn't I know about this when it came up??? Well, I can't go anyway, but it is cool.

[jkmaletic]

Hopefully there will be at least one So Cal date. We got jipped the last time around.

I knew SOMETHING was telling me to work 3-4 hours overtime tonight! :woohoo: That'll pay for 2 tickets. :thumbsup:

What, was somebody from Stevie's camp supposed to call you personally to let you know?

[bluecrystal]

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! All The Orchestra And Mix Floor Tickets Are Gone!!!!!!!! The Closest Thing Is In The 110 Section

[jkmaletic]

Try going to the venue 1 hour or so before the show - being a casino they will probably release any "comped" seats that haven't been picked up. :wavey:

Maybe she is only doing this show after all... ??? bummer.

lol, right on. I am steadfastly holding onto the idea they will tour next year, and even if I do not have my TopHatMobile by then, I will still trek long distances if necessary to see them. I'm dedicated like that, yo. ;)

Hey Sis..

Awwww.. I sure would try to contact that Casino, and see if they can either help you do a "upgrade" on your seat, or you could hopefully get something better.. Don't give up yet! I SOOOO know you're going to get up to the stage in front of those "high rollers" for the Edge walk.. I feel it! Awww.. I SOOOO wish I could go with you too, but yes.. it's SOOOO on next year for the Mac, and I SOOOO can't wait for our meet up in N.J.! You are going to look beautiful when you see her Saturday night, as I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited for you!!!!

All my love to you always,

Arlene

Hey Sandy!! I second this one! Im SOOO excited for them!! And of course, can't wait to see pictures, and get reviews!:blob1:

[omigodstevie]

This is going on right now, as I type, about an hour and a half away from where I'm sitting. I'm so jealous.
But I hope everyone who goes has a fun time!

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I'm sure it's "all the same, all the same."

[Tellurium]

I have no idea what makes you say that, CAD.

Sometimes Stevie opens with Outside the Rain instead of Stand Back, and sometimes she closes with BATB instead of HAEWAFY... AND she sometimes does Fall From Grace and other times does not... I think she's really proven herself to be an incredibly fresh and dynamic performer. You're being unfair.



:lol: ;)

[michelej1]

Well, sometimes she pulls out a surprise cover. Who knows, she could have graced Detroit with You Light Up My Life.

No doubt! I'm astonished anyone would get even remotely bored with paying for such awesome variety for so many years. Pfft, some people.

Me, I always hope for the timeless Divinyls classic "I Touch Myself." 'Cos we all know Stevie don't want anybody else, y'all.

ROFLOL!! I would love that...am I sick?? :laugh:

[galestreet]

When is Stevie playing again? I think she should make a new cd she should have enough material, these best ofs, etc... are wearing thin, in my opinion, and fresh material seems like it would be so easy for her. She should have enough songs for even 3 or 4 new cds. I may be optimistic but I really feel that she can do this and now rather than later. She gives new meaning to the song I can't wait especially since the change of dates for the Soundstage arrival. I may not stop writing I can't seem to:] oh well all in all my point is that Stevie needs to put a new cd out like yesterday!
And no ifs, buts, or wonts, because that is unacceptable to a gypsy...............:nod:
