For me, "Free Falling" alone was worth the price of admission, and if I didn't already have tickets to another show, I would have run out and bought some after hearing that. I've wanted Stevie to do that one live ever since hearing her studio version back in the '90s. Too bad it took a tragedy to make it happen.
The band seemed to be having a great time. No complaints about the new guys. I can't believe how much Mike Campbell sounds like Tom Petty. Neil seems like a genuine guy. I loved it when John introduced Mick....can't remember the last time I heard John speak LOL. I tolerated the drum solo better than I thought I would; has it been shortened a bit? I didn't feel it was a great night for Chris vocally. When people said her voice had deteriorated on OWTS, I really didn't hear it, and I didn't see BuckVie so I can't compare that, but regardless it's just an observation and didn't affect my enjoyment of the show. Can't wait for the next one.

I totally agree with what you said about Free Falling. I was actually stunned at how good it was. I mean, it was powerful, Stevie really knocked it out of the park. Same thing with Christine... her voice is clearly not as strong as it was in 1997 but to still be able to see her perform today is nothing short of a miracle, and she really seems happy on stage, and that goes a long way, too.
Where and when are you going to see FM next?
