Well that couldn't have been easier. I went to the MGM, stood outside the arena entrance for all of about 60 seconds, and some guy came up to me and asked if I was going to the show. I said I didn't have tickets but that I would love to get in. He handed me his spare ticket and walked away! I guess it was my lucky night. Stevie looked absolutely STUNNING! Her make-up was perfect; her outfit flattered her tiny thin body, and her hair had those waves instead of just hanging straight. It seemed like it took a song or two for her voice to get warmed up, but by the end her singing was flawless. She seemed like she was in a really good mood and happy to be there. The band took the stage while her version of "Not Fade Away" played. Here's the setlist:
Rock And Roll
Enchanted
Secret Love
Dreams
Moonlight
Gold Dust Woman
Soldier's Angel
Stand Back
Leather and Lace (with Steve Real)
Rhiannon
Landslide
(Band Intro)
Edge of Seventeen
Love Is
At the beginning of the show, she told the crowd (full of real estate agents) how she is always looking for the perfect house, which was really funny. For Moonlight, she talked about how she was devastated that the Twilight movies are over (also funny). For Soldier's Angel, she mentioned talking to Lindsey about this song during FM rehearsals, so I guess we can expect that on the tour. Most of the other song intros were variations on things we've heard before. EO17 was really good; you could really hear the keyboards. She didn't do the wail, but she did do the Edge walk. At the end, she reminded the crowd to find her a house again.
I think those are the major highlights. I'm tired, and I have to work in the morning, but I'll post tomorrow if I think of anything else.
