We got one pretty bad review from the press, so it will be great to hear from someone who was there. Of course, we know you're probably a bit biased, but so was that newspaper writer, I think.

I was there. It was the second time I have seen them. I thought they sounded terrific. Certainly, Stevie's voice was in far better shape than when I saw them in 2003 and I was hugely impressed by Lindsey (which, to be honest, was not the case last time).
There were a few "Where's Christine?" comments from some people in my row, but otherwise the songs generally went down well. They ran rather late, so there was no Silver Springs.

I thought it was more "magical" than at the American shows for some reason. I don't know... The crowd response was incredible, although they did quiet down quite a bit between numbers. But there seemed to be something really genuine about their performances and interactions with each other. Rather than feeling like their "Sara" hug was staged, it looked truly heartfelt tonight for some reason. They did sound great and I was particularly impressed by Lindsey- it sounds like he went to a vocal coach during his break or something! No bum notes, no growling. And his harmonies are just incredible... And Stevie sounded about as good as she has recently and she seemed to be in a genuinely good mood. For "Landslide" she made her dedication to some guy (forgot his name) that took her to a castle where they allowed her to interact with an owl that was trained to fly to her arm. I could have sworn she was going to get teary eyed over it because she was saying how it was something she would never forget and that it was the highlight of her Euro trip. I could imagine her standing up there in that old Scottish castle and feeling like she was living the life of Rhiannon, the ruler of birds! Anyway, it totally shocked me that "Silver Springs" was dropped. Had it been included, I would have considered this as the best show I have seen so far on this tour.

Great Show in Glasgow....
The Glasgow show was as good as any of the shows back in the States, &, Canada,
the venue was a bit different in that it is a very wide hall, so perhaps the people on the sections A, &, R did not get the best sound, &, view, but the Band were right on their Game, unfortunately Silver Springs was dropped, it was on the set-list, but the crew were taking the stage set-up appart before the the hall lights came on, which caused some confusion for the crowd, The band's security were great, the venues security were a bit confused with the crowd being allowed up to thefront of the stage, all in all, another great show, oh, btw Stevie has a new pair of boots...... |

Oh, yes, I thought those were new boots... these had some kind of gray fold-down flap at the top. A bit higher than ankle-high. |

...to the front....
Quote:
despite what the local venues security think, the band want the people to have the opportunity to go to the stage, the head of security for the band takes the time to walk the front row before the show at about 20:00 hrs local time, to speak to all those seated in the front row, &, explain that they should go to the stage in about 10 minutes..... however, at the SECC, the G4S security staff politely asked everyone to sit down again, (about 2 minutes before the crickets started), being a polite bunch everyone complied, so about 60 seconds later, the crickets started, and everyone advanced to the front, some of the front row people did not go to the front of the stage but most did, anyway, there was a great crowd assembled at the stage, &, there was no further security issues until the end when Silver Spring was not played, & security were asking people to leave before the lights came up, the boots were black, about 5" heels, just above the ankle, with what appeared to be crystal studded staps, rather nice |
