Philly Show - SPOILERS

[EnchantedSLN]

If anyone finds out what Don was wearing (especially the pants) you will make a chat room of Henley fans very, very happy :)


Wore all black, changed twice. (Sorry no specifics... she's not a Henley fan ;))

EDIT: 1st black shirt, with a cowboy kind of shirt underneath it? And later something with red trim.

[HenleyFan]

There's an exact science to discussing Don's clothing...especially the pants...

We have names for them:

Old Man Pants
Yoga Pants
and then there are the Cargo pants <sigh>

He always wears the same footwear, so unlike y'all we don't need to discuss that.

We're also wondering if he had stubble.

It's fun to watch y'alls reactions to the shows....it's like doing homework for when we see the show in Jones Beach

L&M

You, my dear, are CRACKING me right up! I thought we were bad for discussing Stevie's clothes all the time, even Lindsey's for that matter! :thumbsup: It's cool, though, he's your guy, I can respect that.

[amber]

I'm listening to it right now. I've thought it beautiful for a long time. I am totally shocked she would do this-and thrilled. :thumbsup:
I found it too, and am listening. I think it's beautiful, and great, great, great, for STevie! :nod: so sad, so beautiful. so poignant. so perfect.

[blinker12]

Well I DIDN'T grous about the Vegas set list as many others did. And How can you people say this is as adventerous as the Enchanted tour. Not even close (Gold and Braid, Twisted, Sleeping Angel etc.) This all the same songs, Leather and Lace and 2 covers.

I said it was the most adventurous since -- and it is. I never thought we'd see Stevie doing covers! And Amber, several = more than one. Look it up. :rolleyes:

[diamondsnake]

Just got off the phone with my friend George.
Jotted down some of the things he said.

I should add that George has been a fan since 1977, and has seen Stevie dozens of times on, I believe, every tour from 1982 forward.
He told me "everyone always says this, but she really did sound terrific and looked so beautiful and sexy." He also said that she was in "a fantastic mood," was being "very playful," and did a little "hula dance" during "Outside The Rain."

Before she left the stage after singing during Don's set, Don said she was going backstage to "try on clothes"... during which time, Stevie modelled her pants for the audience.

George also felt her and Don's chemistry was far more exciting than her and Lindsey's on the 'SYW' tour, and that she was "energized," "animated" and seemed very happy to be there. :D
Thanks for the info!!! I wish I could see a Two Voices show! It sounds great. And Lindsey and Stevie's chemistry is basically fake anyway, so I am not suprised Don is a better match for her.

[gldstwmn]

Yes, I just looked it up - written by Roger McGuinn & Chris Hillman. Recorded by Petty in '85.

I'm listening to Petty's version right now - I can't WAIT to hear Stevie do it!!!

Everybody's covered this song. Stevie's version should be interesting.

[HenleyFan]

Yes, we really do care (We're kind of sick that way <G>). Actually, we'd prefer cargo pants over jeans....but he probably wore black slacks or his "old man pants" as we lovingly refer to them.


:lol: :lol:
wait - do you guys actually care what Henley was wearing? Do tell! :laugh: :wavey: Okay, I'm gonna guess....black button down shirt, and jeans!

What shoes does he always wear?

[gldstwmn]

I'd actually argue that doing the Raitt song was no more risky than doing Fall From Grace because the audience was filled with people who wouldn't know either song. So telling a little story in advance about how she's going to do a cover and then saying the name of an artist that many people who would go to a Henley/Nicks show would recognize and like --- or doing a song like FFG that potentially the majority of folks wouldn't know -- I'm not sure one is riskier than the other.

HOWEVER.

Doing this cover instead of Landslide, which would have been the most well-received song of the night, was very risky. For that, and the damn studded pants, I'm loving Stevie extra special tonight. :woohoo:
Yup. I'm proud of her. :nod:

[jkmaletic]

What the hell are Yoga Pants??

Yeah, thanks for the info... So was this a revolving stage like they were reported to have... did they share bands what's the deal with all that stuff.

[amber]

I found it too, and am listening. I think it's beautiful, and great, great, great, for STevie! :nod: so sad, so beautiful. so poignant. so perfect.
And now I'm thinking - "why don't I have Bonnie Raitt albums?" seriously, this song is so heartbreakingly beautiful. Hmmm, I wonder what Stevie did on the high "ooohoooooooooohoooo"? :confused:

[diamondsnake]

Yippppeeeee!!!! No Landslide!!!!

[amber]

What the hell are Yoga Pants??
:shocked:
Do you live in California? They're loose fitting, kinda, comfey pants, that tend to sway a bit, tend to be a bit loose. Often they are beigey tan...could be made of natural fibers....etc.

[thepoetinmyhear]

All right, where are y'all finding the circle dance song?

[gldstwmn]

On the phone with Marissa right now. Don joked that he was just opening for Stevie. During Don's set she wore black pants with rhinestones or studs or something on the side, with stiletto ankle boots. Changed back into the black dress and shawls for her set. She introduced Circle Dance as one of her favorite Bonnie Raitt songs. There was handshaking, and the venue was fuller than expected.

Ironically, the album that has Circle Dance on it also has a song called...Steal Your Heart Away. :laugh:

[HenleyFan]

Thanks for the update on Don's wardrobe everyone. We really appreciate it.

Yoga pants are knit and very loose....and very unflattering and ugly.

Old Man Pants are like Chinos, but without a belt.

Don always wears work-type boots like Dr. Martens or Redwings. He LOVES his boots.


L&M


What the hell are Yoga Pants??

[EnchantedSLN]

And before I forget, THANK YOU SO MUCH, Sandy, Jill, & Marissa! :xoxo:

[estranged4life]

After having this whole set list layed out in front of me... Don's and Stevie's... I think this is a must see gig!!

ends up on dimeadozen and on various download sites so everyone can enjoy this show :nod:

[thepoetinmyhear]

And before I forget, THANK YOU SO MUCH, Sandy, Jill, & Marissa! :xoxo:

Ditto, Thanks to all provided us with our much needed set list spoilers! :nod:

And before I forget, THANK YOU SO MUCH, Sandy, Jill, & Marissa! :xoxo:


And thank YOU, Tiff! :wavey:

[Hawkeye]

Yippppeeeee!!!! No Landslide!!!!

I am thrilled there's no Landslide. But man when I think of what could've replaced it (KIND OF WOMAN tops my list) its just eating me up inside she opted to do what she did instead.

[gldstwmn]

Ankle Stiletto boots???!!! That's new!

No, she wore those on the SYW tour.

[Johnny Stew]

Yeah, thanks for the info... So was this a revolving stage like they were reported to have... did they share bands what's the deal with all that stuff.You know, I didn't think to ask those questions. D'Oh!
I got the impression though, that they had two separate bands.

George named Stevie's band members to me over the phone, and I believe they were the same guys as the Vegas band (though something makes me think the keyboardist was different than the one in Vegas).

Here's who I remember... Al Ortiz (who George says also sang backing vocals on "Beauty And The Beast," with Sharon and Jana!), Brett Tuggle, Waddy, Carlos, Jimmy (the drummer) and Taku. But the name of the other keyboardist is escaping me. :confused:

[MacMan]

Relax man... Stress isn't good for the heart :p

well our Stevie has a thing for platform reeboks with a chiffon dress now, so be prepared lol

[Johnny Stew]

I am thrilled there's no Landslide. But man when I think of what could've replaced it (KIND OF WOMAN tops my list) its just eating me up inside she opted to do what she did instead.She can't do every song we'd want to hear. Plus, this is an abbreviated set. Who knows what will make it into the full-length set. Quite probably, "Fall From Grace" will.

[amber]

All right, where are y'all finding the circle dance song?
WnMix.WinMx? etc.

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Was it Scott Plunkett?

Thanks to all who provided spoilers.


According to Stevie at the last Vegas show Scott was leaving her to play with another band

Chris

[rhiannon1119]

Was it Scott Plunkett?

Probably not. She said at the last Vegas show that Scott was leaving her to go with another band.

Oh yeah, Plunket (was that his name)... The piano man!... He was going out to play with someone else after vegas

[Johnny Stew]

Was it Scott Plunkett?I'm going to feel like an idiot if that's who it turns out to be, because I swear I didn't recognize the name George said to me on the phone.

[Hawkeye]

Relax man... Stress isn't good for the heart :p

it also just so happens that my show is the most expensive of the Stevie solo shows. 125 was fine and worth it for Fleetwood Mac, but for 125 dollars I want to be freaking satisfied with what Stevie plays, so I have a right to be upset.

[gldstwmn]

What the hell are Yoga Pants??

Well, I know what mine look like. Not sure how they'd look on Henley. :laugh:

[KateTheCursed]

well our Stevie has a thing for platform reeboks with a chiffon dress now, so be prepared lol

Chris


When you think of all the years she wore the major platforms and all the abuse she heaped upon her body it's probably a miracle she's not taking the stage in corrective orthopedic shoes. :laugh:

See the Frankenboks don't sound quite as bad now. ;)

[dudden22]

If you are going to a SOLO show, I am sure Fall From Grace will be added. Chill out, you have not heard the performance of Circle Dance. You may love it.

[gldstwmn]

I'm going to feel like an idiot if that's who it turns out to be, because I swear I didn't recognize the name George said to me on the phone.

Was it Benmont? Or is Petty on the road this summer?

[thepoetinmyhear]

Petty is on the road this summer.

[dissention]

An incredibly beautiful song...

Circle Dance: http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2NX74J0O3W81A3M9S2H6YBVYU0

:wavey:

[diamondsnake]

I am thrilled there's no Landslide. But man when I think of what could've replaced it (KIND OF WOMAN tops my list) its just eating me up inside she opted to do what she did instead.
If we are talking Landlide replacement songs then how about Doing the Best That I Can? I would die if I saw that live! Seriously, I would die. I almost passed out after Beauty and the Beast in Vegas. That is how beautiful it was!

[EnchantedSLN]

Was it Scott Plunkett?

Thanks to all who provided spoilers.

No, Scott is with Chris Isaak now.

Separate bands. Don didn't do an intro, so I'm not sure who his people were.

[thepoetinmyhear]

Stevie better not drop the Circle Dance. At least not on this tour.

[dissention]

I'm listening to it right now. I've thought it beautiful for a long time. I am totally shocked she would do this-and thrilled. :thumbsup:

I'm stunned. :nod: It's one of my favorite Raitt songs (and the best off of that album, imo), so I'm dying to hear Stevie do it. But there's a bit of apprehension, too. :laugh:

omg so beautiful
thank u so much for sharing this :xoxo:

this song will have be bawling

[diamondsnake]

I love the Reeboks! They're endearing!

[gldstwmn]

I'm stunned. :nod: It's one of my favorite Raitt songs (and the best off of that album, imo), so I'm dying to hear Stevie do it. But there's a bit of apprehension, too. :laugh:

I'm listening to the CD now. I haven't listened to it for so long. I wonder what on earth prompted her to do this song?

[thepoetinmyhear]

Any word yet if Brian or any of the other usual suspects got a copy of the show?

[dissention]

I love the Reeboks! They're endearing!

They're glorified nurse's shoes. Surely she can do better than nursing home chic, she makes enough steak.

[Hawkeye]

Stevie better not drop the Circle Dance. At least not on this tour.

Oh I hope she does, and if she does I'll be the only one happy on the ledge and will be able to do this :lol: while all you have to go :distress: Dont let me down Stevie.

[Johnny Stew]

Was it Benmont?Definitely not Benmont.
I don't think it was anyone who's toured with Stevie before, but don't quote me on that part... I may have just been having an information overload kind of moment.

[dissention]

I'm listening to the CD now. I haven't listened to it for so long. I wonder what on earth prompted her to do this song?

It's all in the lyrics. Everyone should listen to it and read between the lines, because you hit the nail on the head a few pages back. :nod:

Great album, too. This was when Don Was was actually pretty decent.

[Hawkeye]

I'm stunned. :nod: It's one of my favorite Raitt songs (and the best off of that album, imo), so I'm dying to hear Stevie do it. But there's a bit of apprehension, too. :laugh:

Are you even going to a show?

[thepoetinmyhear]

Oh I hope she does, and if she does I'll be the only one happy on the ledge and will be able to do this :lol: while all you have to go :distress: Dont let me down Stevie.

That's really just cruel. Why can't you wish that she would add your song without dropping ours especially since we know she is expanding her set list for her solo tour.

[gldstwmn]

It's all in the lyrics. Everyone should listen to it and read between the lines, because you hit the nail on the head a few pages back. :nod:

Great album, too. This was when Don Was was actually pretty decent.

I'm listening to Feeling Of Falling and Bonnie keeps singing about "The Ledge." It's cracking me up! :lol:

[dissention]

Oh I hope she does, and if she does I'll be the only one happy on the ledge and will be able to do this :lol: while all you have to go :distress: Dont let me down Stevie.

Have you listened to it? If you can't see it for the great song it is, then...

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Does anyone know if there was an opening act?

Was there merchandise?

Chris

It has the same pace as Beautiful Child... it should be perfect with Stevie's voice. I can't wait to hear a boot... and I certainly hope she keeps it for the solo shows (and adds a bunch more rare stuff from her own career).

[Johnny Stew]

Oh I hope she does, and if she does I'll be the only one happy on the ledge and will be able to do this :lol: while all you have to go :distress: Dont let me down Stevie.And what if she drops it for "Landslide"? Then how will you feel? ;)

it also just so happens that my show is the most expensive of the Stevie solo shows. 125 was fine and worth it for Fleetwood Mac, but for 125 dollars I want to be freaking satisfied with what Stevie plays, so I have a right to be upset.Everyone always says they have a "right" to be upset. Like we're owed something for making the choice to spend our money.

At any rate, I'm not the one spending the money, and I don't go to concerts... so maybe I don't have a right to add my two cents... but it seems to me that anyone who goes into a concert expecting the artist to do every song they want to hear, is going to be disappointed.

You said you'd rather she did "Kind Of Woman"... but truly, how likely is that? So, will the absence of that one song ruin the whole experience for you?

If I managed to get myself to a concert, I'd want to hear her sing "When I See You Again," but that's about as likely as me marrying Ann Coulter.
So I think I'd content myself with what she DID play, and not worry about the other 120 songs from her catalog, that she could have played but didn't.

[Dark Angel]

An incredibly beautiful song...

Circle Dance: http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2NX74J0O3W81A3M9S2H6YBVYU0

:wavey:

Very beautiful song! I'm so glad she replaced Landslide with this. :nod: Thanks for posting it. :)

I'm stunned. :nod: It's one of my favorite Raitt songs (and the best off of that album, imo), so I'm dying to hear Stevie do it. But there's a bit of apprehension, too. :laugh:

I'm pessimistic :(. Marissa said she sang it with Don, so I can see that getting axed when she starts her solo dates. Unless Waddy fills in, or she does it all herself.

Lets flood Jana with Circle Dance questions and requests to pass on to Stevie how much we adored it and want to see it all summer :lol:.

[dissention]

I'm listening to Feeling Of Falling and Bonnie keeps singing about "The Ledge." It's cracking me up! :lol:

And Steal Your Heart Away is the next song on the album! :laugh:

Yeah this song more than anything else has me convinced that Stevie is giving up touring very very soon. I'm psyched about the new songs being in the set list, but very bummed out by the lyrical message stevie is sending us by covering this particular song. "It's time to let you go."

[dissention]

I'm pessimistic :(. Marissa said she sang it with Don, so I can see that getting axed when she starts her solo dates. Unless Waddy fills in, or she does it all herself.

Don sang it, too? My enthusiasm has now diminished a tad. :laugh: Well, not really.

Lets flood Jana with Circle Dance questions and requests to pass on to Stevie how much we adored it and want to see it all summer :lol:.

She'll say she doesn't know and that you'll have to ask Sharon. :lol:

KUDOS, STEVIE!

[HenleyFan]

She sings circle dance w/ Don?

I was just listening to the lyrics and going "wow". And now to find out that they sang it together.... just wow.

[Johnny Stew]

Does anyone know if there was an opening act?No opening act (Don said he was the opening act! :laugh: ).

Was there merchandise?No tourbooks, but shirts that said "Stevie Nicks: Tour 2005," and used the same pic of Stevie from the 'TISL' booklet (and "Sorcerer" single cover, and Vegas promos) with her arms outstretched.

[diamondsnake]

And what if she drops it for "Landslide"? Then how will you feel? ;)

Why don't you like going to concerts? And I agree- not everyone can be happy.

[dissention]

She sings circle dance w/ Don?

I was just listening to the lyrics and going "wow". And now to find out that they sang it together.... just wow.

I know, I'm like a giddy little kid right now. :laugh: I must stop gushing. But, oh Stevie, how you surprised me!

[diamondsnake]

Yeah this song more than anything else has me convinced that Stevie is giving up touring very very soon. I'm psyched about the new songs being in the set list, but very bummed out by the lyrical message stevie is sending us by covering this particular song. "It's time to let you go."
As If! Doing a cover of one of her favorite songs has nothing to do with retiring...

[Hawkeye]

no, her not doing that one song wouldn't upset me at all. I just said Kind Of Woman was the first song that popped in my head to replace Landslide. Any suprise would've been nice.

[dissention]

Any suprise would've been nice.

What the hell is more surprising than CIRCLE DANCE? Honestly, she couldn't surprise us any more than she did.

[diamondsnake]

I know, I'm like a giddy little kid right now. :laugh: I must stop gushing. But, oh Stevie, how you surprised me!
Hell has frozen over! Dissention is happy about something Stevie did!

[Johnny Stew]

Why don't you like going to concerts?I'm a head-case from the old school. :laugh:

No, seriously, I have a panic disorder with a tendency towards agoraphobia... so crowded concerts aren't an ideal place for me to be.

[ShangriLaTroubl]

No opening act (Don said he was the opening act! :laugh: ).

No tourbooks, but shirts that said "Stevie Nicks: Tour 2005," and used the same pic of Stevie from the 'TISL' booklet (and "Sorcerer" single cover, and Vegas promos) with her arms outstretched.


Hmm Don kept saying there would be an opening act..I guess they decided to save the cash for themselves--probably to buy new Reeboks and yoga pants

Chris

[gldstwmn]

And Steal Your Heart Away is the next song on the album! :laugh:

Listen to the keyboard on Feeling Of Falling. It sounds a lot like Christine. No wonder she likes this record! :laugh:

[KateTheCursed]

no, her not doing that one song wouldn't upset me at all. I just said Kind Of Woman was the first song that popped in my head to replace Landslide. Any suprise would've been nice.


Well you got some surprises tonight, and all you're doing is b*tchin' about it because they're not the surprises you wanted.

[Hawkeye]

I know, I'm like a giddy little kid right now. :laugh: I must stop gushing. But, oh Stevie, how you surprised me!.
.
Thats the one bright spot here. Stevie has finally impressed Dissention. If it means I have to sit through a song I dont care for its worth it :laugh:

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Any suprise would've been nice.


Oh I see you had already anticipated that she would do "Circle Dance" and "So you wanna be a rock and roll star," and were not surprised at all, good or bad?

Chris

[heyjupiter678]

I know, I'm like a giddy little kid right now. :laugh: I must stop gushing. But, oh Stevie, how you surprised me! I'm seriously about to cry right now knowing she did Circle Dance. I love that song so much and I can't believe she covered it. Aww, Stevie. <333

[diamondsnake]

I'm a head-case from the old school. :laugh:

No, seriously, I have a panic disorder with a tendency towards agoraphobia... so crowded concerts aren't an ideal place for me to be.
Oh that makes sense. That must suck though that you can't go to the shows. Is there any medication that would calm you down? Or better yet you could hire Stevie for the night and have her all to yourself :)

[Hawkeye]

What the hell is more surprising than CIRCLE DANCE? Honestly, she couldn't surprise us any more than she did.

Well she kind of jumped way over suprise and off a cliff into just insane. SYWTBARARS is more of a suprise. Hearing she sings CD with Don is encouraging.

[Johnny Stew]

Thats the one bright spot here. Stevie has finally impressed Dissention. If it means I have to sit through a song I dont care for its worth it :laugh:Try to go in with an open mind though... you just might be surprised to find that you enjoy the song and Stevie's reading of it.

[diamondsnake]

I kind of understand Hawkeye's viewpoint but after seeing/hearing Landlslide at my last six concerts I am so glad it is gone! And I love Stevie's voice so much that any new live song is appreciated (although I wish it were one of her own!).

[Johnny Stew]

Oh that makes sense. That must suck though that you can't go to the shows. Is there any medication that would calm you down? Or better yet you could hire Stevie for the night and have her all to yourself :)There are a lot of medications out there to treat panic disorders (and the associated problems), but I've chosen to not go that route.

I like your idea though! Maybe THEN I could get her to sing "WISYA"!!! :laugh:

[Hawkeye]

Oh I see you had already anticipated that she would do "Circle Dance" and "So you wanna be a rock and roll star," and were not surprised at all, good or bad?

Chris

well the more I think about it the fact she ended with SYWTBARARS and not HAEWAFY is really good for her. And Id say thats a great suprise. So yeah there's one suprise, and after the initial pissed off, im cooling a bit, and can see she made some good decisions. Im still unhappy with CD.

[dissention]

Listen to the keyboard on Feeling Of Falling. It sounds a lot like Christine. No wonder she likes this record! :laugh:

:laugh:

Stevie has good taste (her affection for Maroon 5 aside, of course). Cool, Clear Water is the one I'm playing now. What a lovely tune.

[QUOTE=EnchantedSLN]And she's wearing studded pants!??

They were snug leggin's. the hem was fairly high as well. After all the time on the treadmill, the gal has earned the right to show herself off a bit. A facet we sometimes try to gloss over.....that lady is stunning....

[dissention]

Im still unhappy with CD.

Fech, you love Street Angel, so our tastes will obviously differ greatly. :laugh:

Circle Dance is fabulous.

[jill]

is jill a big stevie fan i wonder

because if she is one she would know the song right????
Yes I am a big fan LOL! It was a Bonnie Raitt song called "Circle of ????" I could not hear the last word Stevie said...she was just amazing tonite!!! Gotta get to bed! But THIS was a show to be seen!!

[estranged4life]

I'm a head-case from the old school. :laugh:

No, seriously, I have a panic disorder with a tendency towards agoraphobia... so crowded concerts aren't an ideal place for me to be.

I have panic attacks when I have to be in public around alotta people (Hell a room with more than 10 people freaks me the hell out), But for some reason when I go to concerts I never feel a panic attack coming on or feel as if the walls are closing in, "Isnt that weird?" :shrug:

[Johnny Stew]

I kind of understand Hawkeye's viewpoint but after seeing/hearing Landlslide at my last six concerts I am so glad it is gone! And I love Stevie's voice so much that any new live song is appreciated (although I wish it were one of her own!).I can understand feeling that there are songs in Stevie's own catalog that she could have done instead of "Circle Dance"... but the fact is, she chose that song, and WANTED to sing it. Instead of making a safer choice, she tried out something completely new for her, and to say, "but she should have done _____," is looking a gift horse in the mouth.

This is why I always say she's damned if she does and damned if she doesn't... someone is always going to find fault with the decisions she makes, one way or the other.

I really hope How Still My Love is added back in when she goes solo later this summer. That song is amazing! "You don't forget me!!!"

I'm like that too. If it is a large group of people that may approach me then I get a little anxious, but if it is a big concert and I know that I don't know a damn person there then I could care less. That is why I love New York City. There are five million people but no one is going to say hello to you!

Keep going, girl, give us more!

Any low points for you? Anything really, really great?

How was the crowd's reaction to Circle Dance?

Did everyone go nuts when Stevie sang with Don & vice versa?

Was Don sounding good? Did Stevie sounds good backing him up on those tunes?

No I totally understand that. I am like that occasionally, but it sounds like your phobia is really serious. I don't like the mall sometimes- only the mall in my home town though. If I am in another city and I know I won't run into anybody that I know then I'm fine. Also, if I am with a friend then I don't mind being in big public places

I either like them or hate them as soon as I listen to them. But Bonnie has such an angelic and soulful voice that even her most mediocre stuff (of which there isn't much) is still listenable.

awesome, I'll have to try it for novelty. Never in my life have I considered buying either bacon bits, or fake ones. My sandwiches have, um, hummus, pepperoncini, lettuce, tomato, pepperjack, turkey/chicken, mayo,(sometimes) avacado, (or guac) mustard, and, if I'm lucky, sprouts. I make great sandwiches, they are my specialty. Especially veg. sandwiches. But, peanut butter and fake 0 bac 0, I have never done. I like my sandwiches to be like salads, really. :) ooo, and toasted! mmmm... ooo, and Rosemary! a great sandwich has the bread brushed with olive oil, rosemary sprinkled, and then toasted. Yep.

[worldturning75]

The show was great. I almost didn't go due to lack of enthusiam on my part. I have to say that both Don and Stevie were in top form. They have great chemistry together. The only thing that would have topped it is if Lindsey was playing guitar. Also, Don's voice sounded much better than when I saw the Eagles a couple of months ago. His set rocked.

You could tell Stevie was having a lot of fun. Her voice sounded better than ever and she was looking hot hot hot. The crowd was really into it, at least up front.

Stevie singing Hotel California was a highlight as well as their duet on Circle Dance. Stevie said Bonnie Raitt was a big influence on one of them and that Bonnie wrote the song about her father.

I's estimate that the Wachovia Center was about 85% full at best, but the crowd was enthusiastic and loud.

Met Chris Nicks briefly backstage before the show and he seemed like a pretty nice guy.

For those of you doing the backstage thing at Holmdel, it's well worth it. Very nice setup, at least in Philly. Met some really nice people. I was told that there were 75 signed up for the Holmdel show.

Thanks for the details!!!

Did Stevie twirl a lot? Was she wearing the same dress as in Vegas? Was the Beauty and the Beast movie playing in the background? How was Rhiannon? Did she have bangs/no bangs? Did she wear her hair up at all? Did her and Don act flirty or romantic on stage in any way?

Sorry, I'm a guy so I don't notice all that stuff. LOL

When Stevie twirled, the crowd went nuts. Didn't see any of the Vegas shows so I wouldn't know.

Yes, there was a movie playing in the background during Beauty and the Beast. Stevie's hair was up and she was wearing a black formal-type dress. I usually can't stand this song, but since she sang it with a very powerful and emotionalvoice, I couldn't help but like it .

Rhiannon was good because her voice sounded so good. I was not too impressed with Waddy on guitar.

Yes, her and Don were very flirty. I don't know if I would call it romantic though. They did hug a few times.

[HejiraNYC]

Just got back from Philadelphia and skimmed through this long-ass thread. Geez, don't you kiddies go out on Friday nights? :shrug: :lol:

Here are my random observations:

-Stevie nailed the "Is-there-anyone-else-in-the-whole-wide-world-that-could-ever-replace-me?" at the end of OTR.

-During Don's set, Stevie was wearing black spandex bellbottom tights with sparkly things. Over this she was wearing a black gauzy billowy top (that came down to her thighs) and over this she wore a long black tailored jacket.

-Girlfriend looked HOT. I haven't seen her since SYW, and my goodness, I don't remember seeing her this small. Her hair also had a subtle wavy curl to it and was very layered in back.

-For "Rhiannon" she trotted out what appears to be a new black kimono-ish gauzy top with long billowy sleeves along with a cinched in obi-corset like thing. It showed off her new figure very well.

-For "Edge of Seventeen" she appeared to be wearing the "Gypsy" dress from the Mirage concert video- something cream colored with hankerchief hems and lots of beading.

-She wore spaghetti straps under her cloak during BATB. I haven't seen those shoulders since the 1980s!

-Not only did she sing harmony with Don, I should mention that she sang entire verses solo. I particularly liked the feeling she brought to "This is Your Last Worthless Evening."

-The crowd reaction to "Circle Dance" SUCKED! It was the first and only number during Stevie's set that the audience (on the floor) sat down. And as usual, the drunken skankchicks did their beer/bathroom runs during this song. The nerve! The song was ratcheted down in key... but it was a really pleasant surprise.

-Even though "Leather and Lace" was also done in a lower key, Don turned beet red trying to hit the high harmony notes. :lol: He's such a tool.

-It appears that a lot of the background visuals were the same ones shown in Vegas, including, yes, those unicorns! But instead of one big monolithic screen, there were five separate panels. It was definitely the most "produced" Stevie tour I've ever seen.

-There was no pressing of the flesh at the end of Edge of Seventeen since the stage was several feet away from the front row. Instead, she just kind of bent over and waved at people and smiled.

-The Stand Back high kick was in full force!

In general, I was impressed by all of the unexpected twists and surprises. Yes, most of the set was the same ol', same ol'... but the Bonnie Raitt tune, the Byrds tune, and 8 duets... I was duly impressed. And vocally she was about as spot-on as I've ever seen her. Not a single bad note or a flubbed line on the new (to Stevie) songs. I really felt like she really pushed herself for these shows.

[SoundBoyBrad]

Hello to all of you anxious Ledgies,

Well, I'll save the *extensive* reviews for the more regular posters, but after reading the TWENTY-SIX pages of this thread when I got home, I figured I might as well contribute. First off, and surprising no one mentioned, Sharon walked across stage, joined Stevie at centerstage for a part in Edge (??), and then just returned. Random, yes, but really neat. Also for SYWTBARARS, they put the words up on the two projector screens, which was absolutely hilarious. The two of them seemed to be having a great time during it, and it definitely pumped up the crowd.

Other answers: Stevie twirled a lot, especially during SB. 12 or so, I think. She also did the kick. BATB had the video in the background. (A side note on that: It looked like the same videos and images that were used in Vegas were used earlier tonight. Not exactly sure of ALL of them, but from what I've seen of the Vegas shows, I'd say at least 90% were used.) Rhiannon -- although not a big fan myself -- was pretty spectacular. There was a lot of energy and the crowd loved it!!!! Stevie's hair was very crimpy with bangs, but it looked really good. She had it up -- a la Las Vegas -- during BATB. Other than that, I believe -- although I didn't take specific notice, it was down.

As for her and Don's "chemistry," I was absolutely blown away. The highlight for me was during GDW when she sings "Rulers make bad lovers..." and "Lousy lovers...," she pointed directly at Don. It was amazing. He kinda shrugged it off playfully, but it was just really neat to see their chemistry. During CD, the two slow-danced on-stage briefly, which the crowd loved. They hugged a lot and were very playful throughout the night.

For me, at least, there were more surprises tonight than at Vegas. When she showed up on Hotel California, I was floored. Didn't see that one coming. And the cover songs. And the duets on songs I wasn't expecting. It was just amazing and a really neat experience to be there on opening night, when I had no idea of what to expect. Interestingly enough, I thought her voice got better as the night when on and Don's got worse. Of course, we all agree to disagree, but I just wanted to point that out.

I'm sure I've left plenty out, but I wanted to mention a few things. I'm sure more specific questions can be answered by others, but I wanted to do my part!! All in all, it was absolutely incredible. Absolutely incredible.

Brad :)

I wonder if they may drop Circle Dance?

And Don couldn't hit the high note on L&L? Well, at least he tried!

Glad to hear she was beautiful (even though I already new that!) Sounds like she is wearing her hair a little different. And, yes ever since the SYW tour has ended I think Stevie has been on a diet. She shrinks in every new picture we see!

OTR rocks live! She nailed those gibberish lines in Vegas too and it was just so cool. How does she do that? I have been trying to sing along to that OTR bootleg and I just can't make my voice sound that cool.

Did you take any pictures? Were camera's allowed?

I can't wait to hear Stevie on Hotel California. It sounds like Stevie was the star of the night, but it wasn't like Don was booed off the stage, was it? Also, could you tell who was sitting around you, if they were Stevie or Don fans? I mean, did the Stevie fans sit during Don't set and vice versa or was everyone just having a great time regardless of who they were there to see? Also, what kind of fans does Don have?

If anyone chats with any of the band members at the next few concerts, can you ask if the covers will be played at solo shows?

[SoundBoyBrad]

I mean, did the Stevie fans sit during Don't set and vice versa or was everyone just having a great time regardless of who they were there to see? Also, what kind of fans does Don have?

I took a few pictures, but I'm pretty sure they didn't come out too well. Originally, my friend and I had seats about 4 rows from the top of the venue, and a worker came up to us with FLOOR TICKETS!! The best part was, he said he needed to get rid of them. So, the 200-section people were all kind of seated together, and it gave us a good laugh or two for the night. Sorry, I digress. Back to the pictures. I'm not sure if they were "allowed," but EVERYONE had their cell phones up in the air taking pictures and there were plenty of other flashes, so I figured "Why not?!?"

Stevie was by FAR the star of the night. I (unlike most here) am a pretty big fan of Don (his music, not his personality per se), but when she came out halfway through HC, the place just went nuts. Absolutely crazy. You kind of felt bad for Don, because he's still in the middle of singing and here comes Stevie and the crowd goes wild. Despite this, and his joke that he was her opening act, the place was so energetic for both of them. So, yes, everyone was just having a great time regardless of whom they went to see. All the Stevie Fans shared their Stevie "knowledge" with the section. And all the Don Fans shared their Don "knowledge" with the section. It's tough to say what kind of fans he has, but, like I said, everyone -- or at least those near me -- enjoyed both aspects of the show. It blended quite nicely.

And, also, quick question. I was just over on an Eagles' website, and someone posted that SYWTBARARS was "an audible," and I had NO idea what that meant. The poster said it looked like L&L should have ended it, but they continued. Like I said, the two of them looked like they were having a great time during this song, laughing and interacting with each other, so who knows about the spontaneity of it?!? But, like I asked, does anyone know what "an audible" would mean?? Thanks!!

Brad :)

[SpyNote]

I picked this up from another message board. Can someone who was at the show put the songs in order:

Genie in a Bottle
Life in the Fast Lane
End of the Innocence
New York Minute (duet with Stevie)

I wonder if they may drop Circle Dance?

And Don couldn't hit the high note on L&L? Well, at least he tried!

Glad to hear she was beautiful (even though I already new that!) Sounds like she is wearing her hair a little different. And, yes ever since the SYW tour has ended I think Stevie has been on a diet. She shrinks in every new picture we see!

OTR rocks live! She nailed those gibberish lines in Vegas too and it was just so cool. How does she do that? I have been trying to sing along to that OTR bootleg and I just can't make my voice sound that cool.

Did you take any pictures? Were camera's allowed?

I can't wait to hear Stevie on Hotel California. It sounds like Stevie was the star of the night, but it wasn't like Don was booed off the stage, was it? Also, could you tell who was sitting around you, if they were Stevie or Don fans? I mean, did the Stevie fans sit during Don't set and vice versa or was everyone just having a great time regardless of who they were there to see? Also, what kind of fans does Don have?

Don was definitely not booed, but I don't think he got nearly the warm reception that Stevie got. When "Hotel California" started, I could see this short little mic stand that suddenly appeared next to Don, so I sorta knew what was coming... but still, when she sauntered slowly to the stage to join Don on the chorus, the entire place went apesh*t! And it was very apparent to me that most of the people sitting around me were Stevie fans, or at least they fit the, um, Stevie fan idiom (shawls, glitter, Klonopin-era hair :eek:, etc.) Hearing Stevie sing the first few lines of the second verse of HC was kinda unsettling actually; I'm so used to hearing Don on it. But she managed to pull it off really well... her voice was kinda "Rasp a Little" era at first, but smoothed out later on.

Another cutesy moment was at the end of LnL when Stevie sings "Take from me my lace" and Don is tugging at the fringe of her lacy shawl. He seemed like he was in such a bad mood the whole night, but every once in a while he would smile... probably just thinking about all of the money he just made. :lol:

I could tell that a lot of pictures of this show will circulate... there were lots of flash bulbs a-poppin'.

[strandinthewind]

I know, I'm like a giddy little kid right now. :laugh: I must stop gushing. But, oh Stevie, how you surprised me!


See what you get for not keeping the faith!!!!!!!!!!!!! :p

[amber]

If anyone chats with any of the band members at the next few concerts, can you ask if the covers will be played at solo shows?
Are you seeing any "Don" ones, Tiff? Now I want to, I didn't before.

[diamondsnake]

You kind of felt bad for Don, because he's still in the middle of singing and here comes Stevie and the crowd goes wild.

I think maybe to avoid this they should have opened with a Stevie/Don Duet then Don could play his set, Stevie her's, and they could have done the encore together. Because obviously if Stevie comes out during a song and it is the first time you see her that night, you are going to go wild!

Oh, Thank you. I am dying. DYING! he tugged at her shawl? She got a massive reception? DYING! :xoxo: Glad Stevie, at least, managed to summon a good mood for the show... :cool:

Hmmm... maybe Don was in a bad mood because he wasn't the more popular of the two. Maybe he resents the fact that Stevie has so many more fans? Maybe this has to do with why he pulled out after only 10 shows.

[diamondsnake]

Oh, Thank you. I am dying. DYING! he tugged at her shawl? She got a massive reception? DYING! :xoxo: Glad Stevie, at least, managed to summon a good mood for the show... :cool:
I want to go to a Don/Stevie show so badly!!!! :blob1: :blob1: :blob1:

[HejiraNYC]

And, also, quick question. I was just over on an Eagles' website, and someone posted that SYWTBARARS was "an audible," and I had NO idea what that meant. The poster said it looked like L&L should have ended it, but they continued. Like I said, the two of them looked like they were having a great time during this song, laughing and interacting with each other, so who knows about the spontaneity of it?!? But, like I asked, does anyone know what "an audible" would mean?? Thanks!!

Brad :)

Well, I did notice that immediately after LnL I looked at the band members in order to gauge whether I should head out or stay. Carlos Rios had this really confusing look on his face. But then Waddy started the two-chord opening to SYWTBARARS and then everybody else fell into place.

What I wonder is whether they would have continued on if it wasn't already after 11. After SYWTBARARS everyone on stage seemed to be confused about what to do. Some stayed with their instruments. Sharon and Jana started walking to centerstage, but then backtracked... and then the house lights stayed down for a long time after everyone left the stage, which led me to think there would be another encore...

[thepoetinmyhear]

From the sounds of things those of us who wish to have the chance of hearing circle dance should flood the ask the backup singer section of Nicksfix with our complements on the song.

[SoundBoyBrad]

I think maybe to avoid this they should have opened with a Stevie/Don Duet then Don could play his set, Stevie her's, and they could have done the encore together. Because obviously if Stevie comes out during a song and it is the first time you see her that night, you are going to go wild!

Oh, absolutely on all accounts!!!! :D

I liked the format a lot, actually minus the above. I thought it would have been wise to bring them out together to eliminate that problem that would have occurred regardless of who was coming out. Aside from that, though, I liked the solo -- duets -- solo and then the solo -- duets -- solo. It broke it up nicely, but also made it feel like two shows. :thumbsup:

just real quick, why, oh why, didn't Stevie sing on Witcheh Womehn?

[EnchantedSLN]

Are you seeing any "Don" ones, Tiff? Now I want to, I didn't before.

No, I can't. I did want to, though, even before tonight. I like Don.

[diamondsnake]

Question: Was there an intermission between the Stevie and Don sets?

[SoundBoyBrad]

Hahaha. Yes, me too. I just assumed (I know, I know) that L&L would end it, but I agree that everyone on stage had this confused look on their faces. I was impressed they even went to 11, to be honest. Not complaining in the slightest, however...;) And, yes, after SYWTBARARS, since the house lights were down for so long, I just figured they would have come back out. That's what Opening Night is for...;) BTW, did you find it weird to have the lyrics up on the screen at all??

[amber]

No, I can't. I did want to, though, even before tonight. I like Don.
Right. I'd have him over Vanessa Carlton. :( Any day. Are you going to all the Cali shows?

[SoundBoyBrad]

Question: Was there an intermission between the Stevie and Don sets?

Yes, of about 15 minutes.

Isn't that 60 second rule so annoying? Whoever is in charge needs to get rid of that silly rule!

[SoundBoyBrad]

No kidding. I was thinking the same thing on the way home, actually. And I was surprised that each one played for about 75 minutes each. Granted, there was a 15 minute intermission and they started 15 minutes late (Good compared to some shows...;)), but if I'm at a concert past 11, I consider it well worth it!!

Oh, goodness, looking at the setlist, Stevie should have sang on way more songs!!!! harmony on boys of summer (my fave), witchy woman, and, hello, LIGHTS IN THE FAST LANE!!! okay, but besides that, and Heart of the Matter, I like Don's set. plus, all she wants to do is dance (in her reblecks.) :laugh: but still, pretty damn cool. I like Eagles.

[HejiraNYC]

Question: Was there an intermission between the Stevie and Don sets?

I would say it was a hair over 20 minutes. They did have a revolving riser for Don and Stevie's drummers/percussionist. Stevie didn't get underway until a little after 9:45. They were supposed to be all done by 11 sharp, but the encores went until almost 11:10.

BTW, Interestingly, I noticed that Frank Simes of Stevie's Enchanted Tour band was Don's guitarist. He looks a lot older these days...

[thepoetinmyhear]

That is quite the set list! It's so cool to see so many duets. I gather Don did sing on Stop Draggin?

[SoundBoyBrad]

Isn't that 60 second rule so annoying? Whoever is in charge needs to get rid of that silly rule!

Seriously!! Especially when such big nights like tonight happen!!!!

(And, in great irony, I am now waiting for said 60 seconds to pass before posting this after responding to your earlier post...)

I wonder if that was slightly awkward since Stevie hasn't used him in so long after using him quite extensively during the 98-2000 period.

[amber]

My thoughts exactly...;)
Hello, thank you! Wouldn't that have been the most, to say the Least? It seems so obvious, I can't believe they didn't do it!
(hey) "there's some Rumours goin round, someone's undergroundandshecanrockyouinthenightuntilyourskinturnsred!!!!" :laugh:

11:00 sharp?? I don't think that's a Wachovia Center rule, is it?? Or just some unwritten thing...??

As for Frank: Yea, he's played with Don on most of his recent tours. Couldn't see his face, but could tell he still has it musically!!

[diamondsnake]

Looking at the setlist I wish I were there!!! It is a big ass setlist and half of Don's songs I recognize and would enjoy anyways (especially with Stevie singing backup!). Oh well, hopefully the solo shows will be awesome too.

Well no one was really thrilled about this Two Voices Tour but it sounds like everyone is pleasantly suprised!

Lori looked like she had really aged when I saw her in Vegas. Of course the most recent picture I had seen of her was in the TISL booklet. I am sure that is airbrushed to death (Stevie looks like she is twenty years old in some of those pics!)

Ya know, I'll take this time to digress. I think I've doubled my number of total posts in the past 30 minutes, so why not?!? On his last solo tour, he would take time to introduce songs, and this song was one of them. Of course, he made the "I didn't write this about Stevie Nicks" joke while on tour, and thought he would do it again tonight. Of course not. He didn't interact with the crowd until a quarter past forever.

I like the guy a lot. I really do. As a musician and songwriter, he's definitely up there. But he has no or chooses not to have any social ability. Stevie took time to introduce her band and to give them the proper recognition. He did not. It was like they were just accessories to The Don Show. What she lacked in vocal ability (There were moments of "Rasp a Little." Especially when she came in on HC...did anyone else there experience the shocking level of her voice so unexpectedly?!? Out of control, really), she made up for in on-stage presence. I've seen her, I've seen her, but tonight was amazing in terms of her interaction and just the fun she looked like she was having. Nothing seemed scripted, nothing seemed like it HAD to be done, and she honestly and genuinely looked like she was enjoying herself. MUCH more than Don. I know he's no juggler or unicycle rider, but I guess I expected him to at least THANK the fans after one of his songs?!? To WELCOME the fans after one of his songs?!? But, that -- the on-stage demeanor and power -- to me, is more than half of a concert experience. I thought she was fine during SYW, but if tonight is what she was capable of then, she was definitely holding back.



Reason for this post?? Oh, yes. I agree, Stevie should have sung on "Witchy Woman."

[SoundBoyBrad]

Well no one was really thrilled about this Two Voices Tour but it sounds like everyone is pleasantly suprised!

Although I never posted it here -- in fear of being hunted -- I was very much thrilled about these 10 dates. I was beyond pleasantly surprised, but just wanted to point out I was all for it from the beginning...;)

Brad :)

[EnchantedSLN]

Right. I'd have him over Vanessa Carlton. :( Any day. Are you going to all the Cali shows?

I'm shooting for San Diego, Anaheim, Universal City, and Concord. Anita would also like to try for Reno, and I'm beginning to cave in to peer pressure for Red Rocks...

[WelshWitchPMD]

Thank you Tiff for your cell phones updates! Thanks to everyone else who posted about the Philly show!

I must get a ticket for the Mansfield show!

[amber]

San Diego, Anaheim, Universal City, and Concord. Anita would also like to try for Reno, and I'm beginning to cave in to peer pressure for Red Rocks :shocked:
You go, girl! I can mainly do Concord...I'm contemplating asking GnB for a ride to Reno (GnB!!! I'm Contemplating!!!) ...so, erm...how's the ol' printer working? :laugh:
That's pretty good. I hope you see all that, and i hope I see at least one of that. Now I'm sad for no Don, though. strangely.
Red Rocks?! Are you mad?! :lol: JK, I hope you can!

[HejiraNYC]

To be honest, I was checking the Ledge daily just to make sure that this was still going to happen. And I was worried until I drove up to see the Wachovia Center parking lot full, and even then I figured something could still cancel it. I was definitely gung ho from the get-go, but admittedly, begrudgingly. Especially after the LV shows were pretty much the standard Stevie fare. In a way, I think this has turned out even better than LV. Not only do we get some of the LV visuals, we get all of these unexpected songs.

Well, perhaps in the spirit of doing new things, Stevie will be on such a kick of self confidence that her solo Gold Dust tour will contain yet another batch of unearthed gems. Just when you think you've got her pegged, she pulls something else out of her cauldron of tricks. :laugh:

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Red Rocks?! Are you mad?! :lol: JK, I hope you can!

Thanks. I'm beginning to think so. I'm not sure yet because I have to buy my mom tickets to the 3 so. Cal shows too, but I'm going to try. The venue is just so unique, and it's a bit of a "historic" one for Stevie, I think it'd be cool to be able to say you saw her there. I will be VISA's bitch by the end of the summer ;).

Hope you can make it to Concord, and possibly Reno as well. And Deborah, you have to make it down here for the other Cali shows!

yeah, you're right, I'd totally want to see her at the infamous "Red Rocks" :nod: Hope it works out for ya, slash, I am totally jealous. :laugh: :xoxo:
You'll be Visa's bitch, and you'll LIKE IT!!!
Yeah, hopefully, I'll at least make it to Concord. But, ya know, once you go front row, you can never go back.... :distress: :D See you there!

I'm extremely sad that I won't get to be seeing any!!! :( :( :(

[estranged4life]

yeah, you're right, I'd totally want to see her at the infamous "Red Rocks" :nod:

same here, Havent been to Colorado since 1984 (And yes I've been to Red Rocks!!!) but the Dallas show being immediately before Red Rocks has left me between a rock and a hard place...Love to go back to Colorado but Dallas is the more realistic choice (Unless the money from my Mother's life insurance policy shows up before then)

[diamondsnake]

I'm extremely sad that I won't get to be seeing any!!! :( :( :(
Oh, I'm so sorry. I would be dying if I were half way across the world while all this was going on. When they came to Europe, you saw a ton of shows though, right? If I am thinking of the same person...

We're all sort of living vicariously through the lucky Ledgies that get to see this little tour!

[amber]

I'm kind of sad that I am only seeing the solo shows too. I wish I could see one Don/Stevie show and one Stevie solo show. Oh well!
I know, I was not down for the Don before, but, really, I love tons of Eagles/Don songs. But, mostly, I love harmonies, and to hear Don and Stevie do that would be just heavenly. *sigh*

[diamondsnake]

I know, I was not down for the Don before, but, really, I love tons of Eagles/Don songs. But, mostly, I love harmonies, and to hear Don and Stevie do that would be just heavenly. *sigh*
Stevie sounds best on Harmony, like Second Hand News and I Know I'm Not Wrong from the SYW tour- excellent backup vocals.

I am just upset I will miss the Don/Stevie interaction (Don pulling Stevie's laces, etc.), the Don songs that Stevie sings on, Leather and Lace, and the cover songs (which I don't think will show up on the solo tour).

[diamondsnake]

Holy Mother of God!!! It is 4:00 in the Morning!!!! I guess my Stevie adreneline kept me up late!

[whitesoxx]

Am I the only one seriously dissapointed here. Why the hell cant she pull a song of HERS out of the vault instead of covering Bonnir Rait. Not impressed at all. And where's I Need to Know. She dropped it in favor of another Petty song. Where's Fall from Grace. I hope this Circle Dance is dropped when Petty leaves. The Vegas set list was better.

Hmmm seems like Stevie can't do right by anybody these days... I for one am VERY glad that:

1) the set-list is longer than I thought it was going to be
2) she's introduced some changes
3) I get to hear B&TB
4) I get to hear her sing back-up on some Don henley songs

So... I am VERY happy!!!!!!

[MACFAN]

I still can't get those sandwiches that Amber was talking about out of my head :)

[Enchanted58]

I truly am an oddball, because I'm a very friendly person, and I genuinely like people... but in places like restaurants, malls, movie theatres, concert arenas, etc., I'll have a panic attack and have to split.

Go figure.


Gawd, I'd save soooooo much money if I had that problem! ;)

I think I have to work during San Diego and Anaheim but I definitely want to make it down for LA and maybe Santa Barbara. I'm also going to try to go to Reno so Amber or anyone if you need a ride we will have to plan a road trip. :wavey:

[tynan88]

WOW Stevie Still Has it!!! She is a Rock and Roll Queen coz she knows what Rock and Roll is...goddamn you guys are lucky :(

[jwd]

-Girlfriend looked HOT. I haven't seen her since SYW, and my goodness, I don't remember seeing her this small. Her hair also had a subtle wavy curl to it and was very layered in back.

-For "Rhiannon" she trotted out what appears to be a new black kimono-ish gauzy top with long billowy sleeves along with a cinched in obi-corset like thing. It showed off her new figure very well.

-She wore spaghetti straps under her cloak during BATB. I haven't seen those shoulders since the 1980s!

Where's the licking lips emoticon?! :laugh:


-It appears that a lot of the background visuals were the same ones shown in Vegas, including, yes, those unicorns! But instead of one big monolithic screen, there were five separate panels. It was definitely the most "produced" Stevie tour I've ever seen.

Very cool. I'm looking forward to seeing it. I knew I didn't have to go to Vegas. ;)

And vocally she was about as spot-on as I've ever seen her. Not a single bad note or a flubbed line on the new (to Stevie) songs. I really felt like she really pushed herself for these shows.

And THAT, TO ME, is what matters the most. Whether she's doing "Landslide" for the millionth time, or performing "Circle Dance" for the first time. It's not like watching a video over and over. I think each and every concert experience is different and unique. There's nothing quite like the excitement of seeing Stevie walk out on the stage in the flesh and blood.


Thanks for the review!

[gldstwmn]

When are they are Red Rocks and how much is a limo from your house - we may have to go :eek:

She's playing that date solo.
Also, limos are harder to come by here in cow town. I might be able to arrange a covered wagon for us, though. :laugh:

[gldstwmn]

. But then Waddy started the two-chord opening to SYWTBARARS and then everybody else fell into place.


Atta boy, Waddy. Drive that band like a Porsche, honey!

[KenshiMaster16]

Waddy is friggin' awesome. I can't wait to see them. Too bad I have to wait a month. Oh well, bootlegs will last me.

I'm kind of sad that I am only seeing the solo shows too. I wish I could see one Don/Stevie show and one Stevie solo show. Oh well!

I find this so funny. Remember at the beginning? We were all like, "noooo! We just want Stevie solo! Well, crap, I have to pay to see Don, too! I wish there was a solo show near me...."

:laugh: :laugh:

Now, I'm SO excited about seeing this Stevie-Don show. Though, I DO still wish there was a solo show coming near me... (greedy me).

This thread has been seriously addicting, I don't think I have never read before thirty pages so rapidly. Before going to the MP3's one :blob1: I wanted to know how this show was and it seems so great. Thanks to all those who gave news about it and wrote reviews. Stevie did the miracle I'm dying now to see a concert in which there's also Don Henley. I'm so glad she's covering this Bonnie Raitt song, I didn't know Circle Dance, but it's truly beautiful (Thanks Diss!). The lady never ceases to amaze me. Ok, off to the other thread now!!! :D

I wonder if they may drop Circle Dance?

Shut up or you'll jinx it, you fool! :laugh:

Just some quick thoughts on the show.

1. Don was good , but he didn't introduce his band and barely interacted with the audience.

2. His set list was pretty well what I expected to hear from him. I would have liked to hear Taking You Home. I really like that song.

3. Stevie was great. I think the highlight for me was BATB and CD. They rocked.

4. Stevie's new drummer has one heck of a hairdoo.

5. Stevie set pretty well what I expected. The only thing I was surprised at what that she didn't sing Landslide. I mean I am not disapointed as it has been done to death but I really thought it would be done for the fans.

Stevie and Don in New Jersey
6/4/05


Stevie looked fantastic. She even wore pants during Don's set.

Two rock and roll hall of famers at their best and singing each other's songs. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! The place was SRO with equal Don and Stevie fans but Stevie's set was longer and better!

To all the doubters about Stevie and Don being a good pair! Just forget it. These two were phenomenal together and Stevie showed much more energy than when she sings with Lindsey.

And they sang together at center stage the whole time. No sense of competition like during the FM shows. They were true duets.

Don opened with "The Genie," an ok upbeat song from Inside Job, his last (2000) solo LP.

Then as if to get is ready for the witchy woman herself he did a great "Witchy Woman" and a great cover of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You" (later coverered by CCR).

Then out came Stevie for an incredible "Hotel California," she even sang the great "spirit here since 1969" line. She sounded great--rocked and sang right in Don's face. Awesome!

Then they dueted on "New York Minute" and "The Last Worthless Evening." Great soulful performances. She left to tumultuous applause and Don did a beautiful "Heart of the Matter" and totally rocking "Life in the Fast Lane" and "Dirty Laundry."

He ended early with the ok "All She Wants to do is Dance."

The whole Bootylicious track and the new discofied Dreams preceded Stevie coming out to a standing-only crowd for a riveting "Outside the Rain," during which she screamed the "look in my eyes" part.

Then Dreams into the piano intro to a rocking "Rhiannon," in which she twirled much more than during FM SYW tour.

"Enchanted" then into "Gold Dust" with Don on some of the verses parts and the chorus.

Then they dueted on a great "Stop Dragging" where she looked at pointed at him just like in the video w TP.

Then a beautiful duet on a Bonnie Raitt track "Circle Dance." They both said she was a big influence on them. Funny, sicne one of the first reviews of the white album I ever read in the 70s said Stevie sounded like Bonnie.

Then a rocking Stand Back with 30 seconds of mad twirling.

The set lost a little momentum with Beauty and the Beast, in which she sounded great, but it was a little hokey coming during such a rocking show where she proved that she is the best female rocker ever (possible exception Janis--though Janis never wrote songs like Tina Turner, who never sang as great as Stevie anyway). The French BATB film looked surreal on the big screen at the top of the stage. Like a rock video from the silent movie era. Stevie wore silly head gear with hair in a bun.

Then an amazing Edge of 17, with the call of the nightbird, when doves cry and some new words that I forget now.

Amazing numbers of fans giving her stuff and handshaking.

Then off stage--back for amazing "Leather and Lace" encore, the first time I ever saw Stevie do this song on stage and I've seen her 39 times. It sounded just like the record.

Whoever said she shouldnt consider Desperado is wrong, because her voice was in the best shape I've ever heard and Don was in fine form.

But instead of Dsperado, the first time I've ever seen Don when he didn't do it, they did Roger McGuinn's "So You Wanna Be a Rock and Roll Star." What a great performance. They should've filmed it cause it was two of rock's best singers rocking out full tilt. The place was going crazy--the words were on the screen and everyone was singing along.

Great evening. Well worth every penny. Stevie has never been this hot.
She continues to be an entity way beyond just Fleetwood Mac.

Long live rock's queen.
