Hey Everyone,
I had one of the most memerable weekends of my life! I was invited to stay with my good college friend kate because she was having a birthday bash for her and her sister. I got to her house in the afternoon and all of our college buddies were there and we had all of our tents set up in the woods behind her house. We joked and talked all night, roasted marshmallows and had a blast. Spent the entire weekend with Kate and her sister going around cleveland and many awesome parts that I had never been to, (cedar rd, coventry..etc, case western) We had a blast.
Sunday rolled around and I was pumped!! totall psyched! I left for Blossom around 5:30 and got there around 6:30, maybe a little later. Grabed my awesome ticket, the buckingham nicks gatefold,a sharpie(it didn't get signed :o() and ran for the gate. When I got to my 4th row seat, I thought I was going to mess my pants. I've never sat that close and the stage was LOW!. As i'm sitting in my seat I realized that a fellow ledgie and livejournal friend was sitting right behind me (Josh) so we talked a bunch before the show started and then we both heard crickets!
We both made a mad dash for the stage as well as everyone else. It was histerical because I had to climb over the chair in back of me because the family to my right in my row would not move up so I just avoided disturbing them and climbed over the row behind me because they had left for the front. I knocked the chair over, felt like and ass...and better yet...tripped on it again as I put the chair right side up again.
So we are about three rows from the stage and once again im next to josh, we were deffinitely concert buddies for the night! We were off to the left but not to the extreme so it was a nice "centered" feeling. Neither Stevie or Lindsey were far away from our view. It was a blast!! The band was HOT! Stevie looked and sounded wonderful, although appeared to be quite pissed for a few moments. Somone was smoking and kept blowing the smoke up into her face on stage!! At the end of beautiful child she said "I need to ask you guys one thing, I love you all , but whoever it is that is smoking up a storm down there, please stop blowing it up here because it's really really bothering me" Before "I'm so Affraid" she was off in the shaddows rubbing her eyes repeatidly(from the smoke I would presume) and looked as if she was venting to the wardrobe lady. She came out for "Im so Affraid" and she was really really into it! it was great. Lindsey came over to our side of the stage and stood directly over us and just whailed, it was mezmorizing.
Say You Will was so much fun. Josh and I had the dance down and only a few other people really seemed to know the whole lasso deal. It looked as if Stevie and Lindsey were going to Kiss...it was weird but a real sweet moment.
"Come" was a major highlight because lindsey basicly stood over us again and did nearly all of the solos right there. He was right over us for almost the entire second half of the song and then moved over to the other side, but he wasn't there as long. He bent down to us and I was FINALY ABLE TO STRUM HIS GUITAR(im pretty sure this happened durring come..almost positive, usually its GYOW but he did it for come). It was just the coolest f*cking moment ever! Josh and I joked about wanting to be the "come girl" but we agreed we were deffinitely the "Come crowd" of the night!!.
I should also say that Lindsey was all over the place on sunday. He was hacking that guitar over his shoulder, sliding it accross the stage all the time. He kept jumping up and down and saying something like "Yes....YEH!!!" and "Thank YOU!!!!"
There are so many little things I could go on about but I will keep this review a bit tame.
Gold Dust Woman was super cool because it sounded as if Stevie changed the ending a bit differently. She repeated "shaddow" like she usually does but she really got into it and put lots of accent on it when she said it and moved her arms a lot !
I think mick and I exchanged looks durring red rover(and i swear I wasnt wishfully seeing things). I didnt get a chance to tell Josh this, but at one point mick was making these faces like his eyes were popping out of his head while sitting on the big rhythm block. He was looking right in my direction and so I made a crazy face back at him. Imidiately he made another face while looking towards me and I again, made an even crazier face...he then again made anothe crazy face at me and I sent another crazy look back at him. If it was just a coincidence then it was a weird one because their were pauses between the looks, he wouldn't do it unless I kept making a face back at him. I stoped and then he stoped and I just started cracking up. I'm 6'4" and I had a baseball cap on so im sure I wasn't too hard to spot from the stage.
A bad storm rolled in and got really bad durring Tusk and it was so cool! It was just cool to hear the thunder and lightening as the rumble of "Tusk" starts to shake the entire crowd.
I need to hit the sack...I will post more comments later!
