Seeing this combined with the "Show them the way" video has brought me a bit closer to my "old relationship" with Stevie since she fired Lindsey. I don't "love" her the way I once did, don't find her nearly as endearing, and am quite put off by how self-indulgent she's become (or maybe always was). Nonetheless, I've felt a bit more of that Stevie magic than I have felt in quite a while.
Overall I really enjoyed the concert, a few thoughts
-Her stories were mostly cute, if again sometimes a little too self-indulgent. -The new songs were great, and I was pleasantly surprised by the powerful and different take on GDW, especially the ending.
-Seeing the blue shawl during Bella Donna- that's the moment that did me in. That's the Stevie I love. Why doesn't she wear many shawls any more??? I noticed no story about the shawl and her mom being shocked at how much it cost, but that it's held up beautifully and was actually a great purchase. I loved it when she showed it off, so I missed that.
-Edge was def missing something with the bridge cut and not wearing any white. Would putting on a white cloak/shawl really be too difficult? It really does add something that is missing here.
-It would have been nice if she tried to make this show a little special vs. the other ones- doing the longer Edge, wearing more shawls, doing the high notes in Gold and Braid, etc.
But overall I must say it's a treat. I was glad to be reminded a bit of the Stevie I feel in love with. Hoping for the option to be able to purchase it soon!

I agree 100% with everything you say. I paid the 19.99 for the VOD and watched it yesterday. She sucked me in during Wild Heart/Bella Donna. I also loved New Orleans and Moonlight. I was at this show in Pittsburgh and really wanted to see myself in the audience. I see me several times pretty well during Enchanted. I was in front of Carlos, a few rows back on the end. Anyway, I could have done with out the stories. I remember years ago, wanting to know what every word in her songs meant, now, not so much. LOL. GDW brought chills. I loved it. Seeing it on the screen was so much better than being there actually. You're able to really see things you missed during the concert. Now I know why she wanted to do Stop Draggin' my heart around again. No Chrissy this time. I am still bewildered why she had Lindsey canned, but I guess I can still enjoy the music she has brought to the world. I really did enjoy this movie.
