I ADORE the mic stand... it's classic Stevie. I agree with everyone else... there's nothing at all like being up close to the stage and waiting for the show to start, and looking at her mic stand. It truly does build your excitement. While Stevie seems to be simplifying her wardrobe these days, I'm thankful she still goes all out with the mic stand.
She pulled the stand back several times in my concerts in Greensboro, NC and Greenville, SC. I think it was during Stand Back and Rhiannon. Boy, she really tore up Stand Back in Greensboro!
