Accurate!
I think it would be so cool if concertgoers got copies of new albums with purchase of tickets! At least you'd have no question that your music was being heard.
I brought my best friend to one of Stevie's recent concerts and she was captivated by Moonlight and New Orleans, both recent songs. I'm proud of Stevie for revamping Moonlight so that people will be forced to listen and understand what it means. It was actually my best friend's favorite song of the night other than Eo17. I don't think she would have given the album version a second listen had she not seen Stevie perform it the way she did!
