Don't be so sure she will be playing on The Plaza..weather permitting..her comfort zones may want to be inside the Studio..safe & sound.

[LiquidBlue5000]

Don't be so sure she will be playing on The Plaza..weather permitting..her comfort zones may want to be inside the Studio..safe & sound.

You never know.. there's a very good possibility she'll play outside... she played with FM outside wearing her winter coat and scarf, so i'm sure she can play in 75 degree weather as well :angel:

That's a good point. If she can do it in the freezing cold she can do it in this weather.

[Macfanforever]

Thanks for the headsup. I will set the vcr's and the dvd recorders for that show
on the 28th.Hum on wednesday, I thought NBC does live music on friday mornings. becuase I tape that show on fridays every week. an another question Stevie could make this apperence. but could not make the 20th of sept
benefit. hum.

[Macfanforever]

That's a good point. If she can do it in the freezing cold she can do it in this weather.


ya I agree on that one.

[catinthedark]

Don't be so sure she will be playing on The Plaza..weather permitting..her comfort zones may want to be inside the Studio..safe & sound.

Where did it say she was playing The Plaza? Nothing on Taku's site indicates that. I think the Summer Concert Series has wrapped up. :shrug:

[AliceLover]

I wonder why she is playing?

Hurricane support maybe?

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Do they ever do indoor concerts?

Chris

[LiquidBlue5000]

Do they ever do indoor concerts?

I don't think they do... if so, then why on Earth would FM had played in the freezing cold?? i think it's just an outdoor thing

[ontheEdgeof17]

They have indoor performances all the time.

[LongBlackScarf]

I don't think they do... if so, then why on Earth would FM had played in the freezing cold?? i think it's just an outdoor thing

I don't think it was THAT "freezing cold" when The Mac was playing outdoors in the spring to promote SYW. It may have been a bit chilly, but not "freezing." I think the acoustics on these outdoor "Today Show" performances utterly suck. I thought the SYW selections sounded like crap. I hope they get Stevie properly miked up and fuel her with some throat soothing potions so she doesn't sound like Harvey Fierstein. Again.

Actually it was 38 degrees. According to the weather meter that was on the TV that day.

Bless your heart, I just spewed my tea. :laugh:

Actually, i live in New York and went outside on that particular day.. and it was very very cold.. just because it was technically "spring", doesnt mean it was warm outside... have u ever been to New York in April?

[LongBlackScarf]

Actually it was 38 degrees. According to the weather meter that was on the TV that day.

And 38 degrees, according to my very basic meteorology, is not "freezing." :p Stevie may have found it "freezing" though. I am sure a battery operated vibrating cotton batting-upholstered corset and a pair of rather large, fur-lined Granny panties were involved that morning. ;)

I was there. It was FREEZING.
If I remember correctly, the whole week was almost unseasonably warm and that morning, the temperature dipped like 40 or 50 degrees overnight and was definitely in the 30s.
We were packed together really closely but, even so, if the concert had lasted five minutes more, I was going to mug the man next to me for his wool coat (my "change of seasons" quilted jacket was just not cutting it and it's very windy on the Plaza).
The performance itself was great live (IMO). It lost a little in the translation but I was so thrilled to see them doing new stuff--outdoors--live--for the very first time, I didn't care.
Alas, there is no way I can take off from work on Wednesday. If it had been one week later, I would be fine.
Timing is everything.

[dissention]

Actually, i live in New York and went outside on that particular day.. and it was very very cold.. just because it was technically "spring", doesnt mean it was warm outside... have u ever been to New York in April?

Eek, I remember it was freezing all over the northeast that morning. And they're California people, too. :laugh:

Stevie doesn't have much room for complaint, though, she was snuggly wrapped in either a dead animal or an uber-expensive synthetic concotion. Lindsey, being the dolt that he is, wore a t-shirt and a freaking leather jacket. He deserved to get frostbite based on his stupidity alone.

[ShangriLaTroubl]

And 38 degrees, according to my very basic meteorology, is not "freezing." :p Stevie may have found it "freezing" though. I am sure a battery operated vibrating cotton batting-upholstered corset and a pair of rather large, fur-lined Granny panties were involved that morning. ;)



well it was pretty windy that day, and 38 degrees mixed with some pretty heavy wind can be VERY cold... she had that huge coat on, no telling what she had underneath it ! :laugh:

[LongBlackScarf]

Actually, i live in New York and went outside on that particular day.. and it was very very cold.. just because it was technically "spring", doesnt mean it was warm outside

If you read my post, I said it may have been CHILLY. I never said a thing about NYC being "warm." And yes, I know NYC. Lived there for 18 years.

[dissention]

And 38 degrees, according to my very basic meteorology, is not "freezing." :p

Yeah, but when the winds pick up, it certainly feels it.

Stevie may have found it "freezing" though. I am sure a battery operated vibrating cotton batting-upholstered corset and a pair of rather large, fur-lined Granny panties were involved that morning. ;)

I would give both nuts for photos.

[Regina]

I mean temperature and Wind Chill Factor.

Just because it's not sub zero doesn't mean you can't freeze your ... toes off.

[LiquidBlue5000]

If you read my post, I said it may have been CHILLY. I never said a thing about NYC being "warm." And yes, I know NYC. Lived there for 18 years.


No, u said "a bit chilly", which would imply temperatures slightly below normal.. normal being about 72 degrees, slightly lower than that ... not 38 degrees and windy...

and if u lived in New York City for 18 years, then you know how cold it can be in April, and yes, even in May, dear... :xoxo:

[Stephanie]

DOn't forget even june! When I first moved to NYC I was wearing sweaters in June. Then it suddenly became very hot!

[LiquidBlue5000]

DOn't forget even june! When I first moved to NYC I was wearing sweaters in June. Then it suddenly became very hot!


Yup, unfortunately that's the way it is here... it seems to go from winter to summer in 2 weeks.. and from summer to winter in 2 weeks

[LongBlackScarf]

And it's not possible that someone simply doesn't get "cold" as others get "cold"? Or must I shake and quiver when the temp dips below 40 degrees? Let's move on, shall we? I can't debate with someone who spells "you" with one letter. I refuse. It's bad for my health and constitution. I shall get apoplexy and surely begin foaming at the mouth and desiring to eat large quantities of canned pork. :p

Don't forget that the Stevester lives in Phoenix, where it's often

116 degrees during the summer. Lows of 92 during the night!

So while we're watching her shiver in 40 degrees and wondering why,

we'd be dyin' in the Arizona desert heat and she'd be dancin' up a

storm and wondering what's wrong with us! :p

awww, i'm sorry.. am i somehow beneath u because i sometimes spell "you" with 1 letter?? frankly dear, it's not that uncommon in an online forum.. nor are typos.. get a better attack plan.. :wavey:

and u are mistaken when u say that it wasn't freezing when FM (or should i spell out F-l-e-e-t-w-o-o-d M-a-c for u?) performed on the Today Show in April of 2003.. if u do not consider 38 degrees and windy to be freezing or at least "very cold", then u must be some kind of anomaly.. regardless, the common human being would consider a windy 38 degrees in April a little more than "a bit chilly" :rolleyes:

[Kelly]

The outdoor concert series is over, I think. The Today Show has artists perform inside ALL the time. I seriously doubt she is doing an entire concert. I predict it is a performance of HAEWAFY for Hurricane Relief. She has nothing to promote, that we know of.....so, yea...it will be something to help raise money for Katrina..IMHO.

BTW..I made the trek for FM and it was damn cold. No way am I hiking up to NYC at 4:00 AM unless we get more details and this is an outdoor event.

[priestofnothing]

I predict it is a performance of HAEWAFY for Hurricane Relief.
If she is only playing HAEWAFY - then why would Taku have to be there, I don't think he plays percussion on that song, does he?

[xxxmx]

a) stevie? today show? a mere nineteen blocks from my former life? where's that wrist slitty smiley...

b) cold is relative, people shut up about it already. ;)

c) don't diss brian because he uses shorthand. at least he hasn't gone all the way to "kewl" yet...

d) i miss the ledge, but i do not miss the BS.

[Angelick Witch]

Stevie doesn't have much room for complaint, though, she was snuggly wrapped in either a dead animal or an uber-expensive synthetic concotion. Lindsey, being the dolt that he is, wore a t-shirt and a freaking leather jacket. He deserved to get frostbite based on his stupidity alone.



*falls around laughing* *tries to compose self* Lindsey's not a dolt! And he does not deserve frostbite! He's _cool_!! And a mere freezing cold day doesn't stop him from doing what he likes!

Although I think that day was the best example of Christine's comment that Fleetwood Mac can walk out on stage wuth every single member looking like they're dressed for a different place. In this case, Lindsey's going downtown in California or somehwere warm like that, and Stevie's off to Antartica!

[HejiraNYC]

omg! I am sooooo going into Manhattan on the 28th to catch this live :nod:

Hejira, you with me? ;) :wavey:

Just set the time and place! :nod: Normally I would totally disregard such a cool rumor like this, but if it's coming from Taku, I know it's gotta be true. :nod: He's never led us down the wrong path.

Actually are we sure that the Summer Concert Series is over? Sheryl Crow played this morning in Bryant Park, which just happens to be one of my fave parks in the city. I think it would be the perfect setting for a little Stevie set, although I have no idea why she would round up the troops to do this one-off little gig on this side of the continent. :shrug: That is, unless she had already planned on doing a corporate gig somewhere in town, or heaven forbid, a recording session! :thumbsup:

Anyway, weather-wise, it's going to be much warmer than Jones Beach this past June, where she looked like she was wearing every frock in her closet at once. :eek:.

Must. Set. Alarm. Clock. For. 5AM. :eek: :eek: ...

NBC NEWS ‘TODAY,’ HABITAT FOR HUMANITY INTERNATIONAL
AND WARNER MUSIC GROUP JOIN FORCES
TO ‘MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY’

Throughout the week of Sept. 26 Rockefeller Plaza becomes
‘Humanity Plaza’ as homes for families affected by Hurricane Katrina
are literally built around the clock

Participating artists from Warner Music Group’s Atlantic and Warner Bros.
Records include Josh Groban, Goo Goo Dolls, Tracy Chapman, T.I., Big &
Rich, Randy Newman, Ryan Cabrera, Yolanda Adams and many others …

NEW YORK (Sept. 20) – NBC News “Today,” Habitat for Humanity International and Warner Music Group are joining forces in an unprecedented effort to help the Gulf Coast rebuild one nail at a time. Beginning Monday, Sept. 26, Rockefeller Plaza will become “Humanity Plaza” for five days as homes are literally built around the clock for families displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Millions of dollars have already been raised for Habitat through this endeavor, and the partners have pledged to build a minimum of 100 homes over the course of the project that will be executed over the next two months.

As the exclusive broadcast partner, “Today” will follow the progress of the first phase of homes, and be there as Habitat for Humanity delivers them to families that they previously selected. The families will be profiled on “Today.” The project will be supported by thousands of citizens - including current Habitat employees and volunteers, employees of NBC Universal and Warner Music Group and visitors to the Plaza throughout the week. Celebrities and musicians from NBC and Warner's vast rosters will join the efforts by raising hammers, and even some microphones with special performances throughout the week of the 26th, including a kickoff concert on that Monday.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Warner Music Group and Habitat for Humanity to help in the efforts to rebuild the Gulf Coast,” said Jeff Zucker, president, NBC Universal Television Group. “The hundreds of NBC employees who are still stationed in the region, have just returned, or have been covering the story from home base, all share the same hope – to help the victims and rebuild the region, and we know that ‘Make a Difference Today’ will do just that.”

“Warner Music Group's artists and employees are pleased to partner with ‘Today’ and Habitat for Humanity to build homes and provide other critical assistance to those who continue to suffer from the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe," said Edgar Bronfman, Jr., chairman and CEO of Warner Music Group. "As the only major American music company, we recognize that much of our musical culture was created in this historic and unique part of the United States. Warner Music Group is grateful for the opportunity to participate in this initiative and many others to help get people back on their feet and begin to recover from this unprecedented tragedy."

“Habitat for Humanity is poised to deliver an unprecedented response to an unprecedented natural disaster,” said Chris Clarke, senior vice president of Communications, for Habitat for Humanity International. “To do so, to rebuild the lives of families who have lost so much and provide the ‘hand up’ that is the hallmark of our work will require an unprecedented level of support. Next week, the world will watch Humanity Plaza come alive as hearts and hammers pound the first nails in our recovery efforts.”

This project will produce the very first Habitat for Humanity homes – dubbed “houses in a box” – that will arrive in the region. The goal of the project - which will unfold in phases over the next few months - is to build a minimum of 100 homes by its completion. In addition, millions of dollars are expected to be raised to facilitate countless more homes being built in the region in the future.

Following the initial “construction” week on the plaza, “Today” will travel with the homes as they are delivered to the communities. The homes will leave the plaza for the transport on Friday, Oct. 1. On Monday, Oct. 3, as they are delivered and the installations begin, “Today” will mark the occasion with a special performance.

Humanity Plaza, while serving as a construction zone, will also serve as a destination for viewers and visitors to get involved and learn about ways to help the victims of Katrina. Tishman Speyer has graciously partnered on this project to provide the space and assistance to make this massive undertaking possible. Other organizations involved in Katrina relief will also be represented, including the Salvation Army, and animal organizations such as the North Shore Animal League, the Humane Society of the United States, and the Animal Veterinary Medical Foundation.

Children can send personal wishes to the families who will receive the new houses by visiting the Scholastic “Books Make a Home” tent at Humanity Plaza. Here, kids can write messages or draw pictures on special bookplates, which will be inserted in every book in a collection of 100 children’s books that Scholastic will donate with each new house. Children and parents can also pick-up age-appropriate information on Hurricane Katrina in Scholastic’s classroom magazines, Scholastic News and Junior Scholastic, as well as tips for parents on how to talk with their children about this natural disaster and other current events.

MSNBC.com will have a special section of the “Today” page dedicated to “Make a Difference Today” with general information about the project, information and links for all the organizations, video gallery, celebrity slideshow and more, all of which can be found at www.today.msnbc.com.

Images of “Humanity Plaza” will be made available on NBC's Media Village website at www.nbcmv.com.

"MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY" - WITH CONCERT INFO
Published: September 23, 2005

NBC NEWS' ?TODAY,? WARNER MUSIC GROUP AND
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCE ARTIST LINEUP FOR HURRICANE RELIEF INITIATIVE

As part of Gibson Guitar's on-going company wide Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, the company is donating all the equipment and personnel. In addition, the Gibson Guitar world tour bus will be on site for these lunchtime performances on "Humanity Plaza."

The goal of "Make a Difference Today" is to rebuild a minimum of 100 homes in the Gulf Coast that were destroyed during the recent hurricanes. This project will produce the very first Habitat for Humanity homes - dubbed "houses in a box" - that will arrive in the region over the next few months. As part of this initiative, WMG artists and WMG, NBC Universal employees will also pitch in to help build Habitat for Humanity homes in Burbank, CA.

What could be more awesome than seeing Stevie pounding her velvet-gripped bedazzled hammer? I am totally up for helping out with this project regardless of Stevie's involvement. I'm building my own house right now anyway, so this should all be rote for me now. :p

[Livia]

LOL - Stevie's actually gonna pound some nails? :thumbsup:

I am seeing her more as a color selection engineer :laugh:

Maybe she will drape a few walls with some ponchos as well :laugh:

Seriously, it is great of her to lend her name to this.

Since Taku would be there can we hope in more than one song?

I hope so!!!

and, I know people are rightly focusing on La Nicks for this, but let me say that Taku is a great guy as well for giving a bunch of his time!!!!!!!!!

[SandyMac]

Too bad they would not just let anyone help build. I would love to hammer right next to Stevie. :D

[jkmaletic]

Too bad they would not just let anyone help build. I would love to hammer right next to Stevie. :D

"Hammer" what, exactly? :eek:

[LiquidBlue5000]

omg, this is too funny... is she gonna hammer in her stage clothes and frankenboks?

[strandinthewind]

omg, this is too funny... is she gonna hammer in her stage clothes and frankenboks?


Honey - she could hammer with those frankenbocks :eek:

[ontheEdgeof17]

omg, this is too funny... is she gonna hammer in her stage clothes and frankenboks?

I'm guessing the "Rock and Roll" outfit. :nod:

[SandyMac]

"Hammer" what, exactly? :eek:

he he he, I thought of that as soon as I posted it. :laugh:

[SandyMac]

Stevie in denim overalls with a tool belt. :laugh: With a nail in her mouth while she is hammering away. OMG, what an image that would be.

Stevie: The next Tool Belt Diva :laugh: :D
Home Improvement shows to follow on how to light your home for the most
dramatic and romantic effect. :D

Seriously: I am so glad that Stevie is doing this. She really does have a big heart. :angel:

[LiquidBlue5000]

I'm guessing the "Rock and Roll" outfit. :nod:


i guess she'll have to hammer with her left hand while she holds up her hat with the right ;)

[ontheEdgeof17]

i guess she'll have to hammer with her left hand while she holds up her hat with the right ;)

minus the hat. :p

Damn that thing! It's called hairpins or something, Stevie....or buy a hat that fits! There's an idea!

[LiquidBlue5000]

minus the hat. :p

Damn that thing! It's called hairpins or something, Stevie....or buy a hat that fits! There's an idea!

perhaps she could swap out the "Rock And Roll" hat with the "HAEWAFY" hat she wore on the TISL tour... from what i remember, it was more form-fitting and she didn't need to hold it up as much ;)

[ontheEdgeof17]

perhaps she could swap out the "Rock And Roll" hat with the "HAEWAFY" hat she wore on the TISL tour... from what i remember, it was more form-fitting and she didn't need to hold it up as much ;)

Oh. I thought it was the same hat. Same feather, too.


I could be wrong.

[strandinthewind]

I thought it was the same hat :shrug:

Though, I must say the sheer thought of La Nicks having several fabulous wooden and velvey lined hat boxes travelling with her makes me smile!!!!!

[Johnny Stew]

Maybe Stevie & Jose Eber will once again join forces to give everyone makeovers. Who needs a roof over their head, when they have 3-feet worth of teased and shellacked 80s hair to protect them!

Seriously though, I'm really glad to see Stevie is doing this. She caught some flak for pulling out of the MSG benefit, but she's more than making up for that by helping out in this way. :nod:

[LiquidBlue5000]

Oh. I thought it was the same hat. Same feather, too.


I could be wrong.

Nah, it was a totally different hat.. the feather on the TISL hat was HUGE! much bigger than the one on the "Rock And Roll" hat...

i mean, i guess it could be the same hat with some alterations done.. :shrug:

[Nicks Fan]

Great to see that she is helping out. My company that I work for is allowing all staff members to have any amount of money taken off there cheques to donate to the relief effort.

OI wonder how many songs she will sing. my guess is that she will do HAEWAFY. But if they allow for more songs chances are SB or E017. will be done as well. Oh well just gettinger the chance to see her perform again will be great.

[danax6]

Stevie in denim overalls with a tool belt. :laugh: With a nail in her mouth while she is hammering away.This is easily the funniest thing I read today. Please, take this image out of my head, I am dying.

Stevie, when you build your house, call me! :]

Stevie's next tour might be sponsored by Home Depot. :laugh:

ROTFLMAO!!!!!

The pictures in my head are too hilarious... do you think she even knows how houses are built? They just go up by magic? :laugh: :laugh:

[pwyll]

Stevie building a house? I thought Lindsey was the band's architect.

[strandinthewind]

Well, he built his house and then sold it, was Stevie in the middle of it - who knows :laugh:

BTW - howdy there!!!!

Honey - she could hammer with those frankenbocks :eek:


Okay, talking about funniest images created in this thread.... :laugh: Too true, my friend. And not a bad suggestion for what she could do with them...

Seriously, though, good for her for doing this. I hope it is something she really wanted to do, as opposed to being heavily encouraged to do it by her record comapny, which happens to be one of the three main companies/organizations behind this project. I'm not slagging Stevie here - I'm just saying. Record companies can be a tad dictatorial. But the idea of her building a house is about as funny as the idea of me building one. Um, okay, where does this plank go? And what do you mean I need to wear a hard hat???

Tee hee. Stevie in a hard hat. :laugh: :xoxo:

[strandinthewind]

"Karen! Tear down that BITCH of a bearing wall and put a window where it OUGHT to be!"

Breaking your back? Get the company to pay for it :mad:

You drove my contractor to HIS GRAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[strandinthewind]

Okay, talking about funniest images created in this thread.... :laugh: Too true, my friend. And not a bad suggestion for what she could do with them . . . .

Can't you see her wearing one and hammering with the other - with this determined look on her face - perhaps standing on a step ladder :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[danax6]

KAREN KAREN KAREN - get me that builder on the phone and we are so NOT using Kristin's decorator or her floor person :cool: :laugh:

[estranged4life]

I have digital satellite and a DVD-R buner (With DVD-RAM compatibility) so I will be making yet another DVD without any traces of commerical (Ya should see my metal video comp DVD's...No trace there ever was a commerical.) and will burn the audio portion of the DVD-R to disc (CDR).

Thanks for the headsup...

[estranged4life]

Stevie's next tour might be sponsored by Home Depot. :laugh:

a image of Stevie on the hood/quarter panels of the JGR #20 Home Depot Chevy Monte Carlo driven by Tony Stewart would be kinda neat :nod:

[catinthedark]

... with a mouthfull of nails sticking out between her lips... and a cape flapping wildly in the wind behind her....

[LiquidBlue5000]

"Karen! Tear down that BITCH of a bearing wall and put a window where it OUGHT to be!"


Stevie loves a challenge :D

[SandyMac]

... with a mouthfull of nails sticking out between her lips... and a cape flapping wildly in the wind behind her....

Now that is a funny image. (especially with the hard hat mentioned earlier)
or should her hair be flowing in the wind?

Stand Back, Stand Back (muffled because it is hard to sing with nails between your lips). ha ha ha ha (I crack myself up) :lol:

[sparky]

I am picturing her on the treadmill. She wearing a pink hardhat, and a bedazzled tool belt. In one hand, a lavender drill with fringes, the other, a caulking gun loaded with glitter infused caulk.

"Stand Back Stand Back
Working with the building crew
I did not hear from you"

And then in the solo she can toss the drill and gun like the tambo in Gold and Braid !

Ha ha ha, that is too funny ! When she is done she can sign it with her name and the house comes with a certificate of authenticity that "This house
has been Steviefied" by Stevie Nicks herself :D

"caulking gun loaded with glitter infused caulk" - I like that.

[LongBlackScarf]

Stevie Nicks building a house? This a reality show just waiting to happen.

Or a new ultra feminine "Home Depot" type store-- a la Martha's K-Mart line. Call 1-800-Nix-Brix. :D

[Kelly]

Okay. Now I have to haul my ass to NYC in the middle of the night...again. I cannot miss Stevie "helping" to build a house. Landslide and Stand Back....hmmm...original. Still what a great cause and it will be worth it to see her trying to handle a hammer.

Marissa...I think you should go with me.

[LiquidBlue5000]

Well, I saw Tracy Chapman and That Other Guy ( name,

please??? :shrug: ) perform this morning, and the "mood" didn't

really seem suitable for "Stand Back" or "Landslide." I hate to use

the word "inappropriate" but . . .

I wonder if "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You" might be

more "appropriate?" The mood today on the show was very . . .

I dunno - SERIOUS. And "Stand Back" for example, while

brilliant, wonderful, beautiful, etc., is basically an upbeat "Party" song.

Betcha the Stevester makes a donation though! :thumbsup:

[Macfanforever]

I taped the show this morning. which I will be taping all week. It looks like the music will start playing around 8:30 am est. I started taping around 7:30 to see what the format is, it looks like they only sing for 25 minutes with commercials.
correct me if i'm wrong. So wesnesday Stevie I guest will start around 8:30ish.
I hate to blow a DVD on talk and commercials, But as long I get Stevie recorded.The performance today was ok ,but, who is that curly hair guy?
Josh Groban

So, I'm watching this horrible show for our gal. Is there anywhere for her to perform outside with all those "houses"? I'm getting all confused. I missed the first 1/2 hour....and barely paying attention as it is. Is it going to be an indoor performance or is there a stage set up around all that wood?

[ontheEdgeof17]

OMG.

I bet she is horrified. They just played EO17 Red Rocks AND showed the video. :laugh: Katie called her Stevie Nixon (cuz Cynthia Nixon is there, too). MORON.

Maybe PST time zone watchers can get this on tape b/c it looked cool.
I saw that at 6;10am (EST) and got the feeling other rehearsal clips were shown.

I do not like the Today Show, esp. Katie.

And then she called Edge of 17 "Stand Back." :rolleyes:Who the hell are those people?! :shocked: They should seriously do their homework better.

[dissention]

Landslide was stiff and boring, per usual. Stand Back kicked major ass, though. She's finally breathing life back into her performances this year, I'm stoked.

They didn't show any of it here, they went almost immediately to that twit Kelly Ripa and that odious windbag Philbin.

[bikerchic]

Okay, if he's a Ledgie I want to be officially introduced! :laugh:
:nod: :thumbsup: :nod:

[lilith2]

I can't type for the tears......the girl look's fab! The dramatic eyemake is awesome, I love it!

Ditto.
Looked like Brooke Sheilds was holding back some tears too.

LOVED what she said about the wounded soldiers and the way Landslide was introduced.

[LuckyCharms]

Ok, who's the hottie holding up the "Thank you Stevie" Sign? (dark hair, black t-shirt, right in the middle of the crowd) :thumbsup:

I know!!! Thank you hot guy for holding up the "Thank You Stevie" sign! LOL!

[ontheEdgeof17]

They also talked to her afterwards about her Walter Reed visit and she got very emotional (in a fist throwing way) about the troops and their ailments.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Ohh...and I think Bri's hat is blue and white.

[LuckyCharms]

ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!! They downgraded her to building doghouses!!! I knew they werent going to trust her hammering a house together! :laugh: :laugh:

LOL! I'm sure she'd do better than Jessica Alba, she was just a tapping away at the same already hammered nail for like 10 minutes, LOL!

[dissention]

They also talked to her afterwards about her Walter Reed visit and she got very emotional (in a fist throwing way) about the troops and their ailments.

WTF, they showed absolutely none of that here. I never watch Today, so maybe they'll show it during the third hour at ten?

[Mokona]

I thought she sounded good, but not quite as good as at her shows this summer. Maybe she had a little stage fright?

It was annoying with them showing everyone in the audience constantly! I want to see Stevie, not these people, lol! Not to mention the hosts' various blunders (Stevie Nixon, etc.).

Is anyone going to put a clip of this up on the board? I'm taping it, but my VCR is a little old so I'm not sure if it will come out OK.

Loved her hair and makeup! She looks blonder than usual. :)

[GODDESS6]

Ohh...and I think Bri's hat is blue and white.
thanx curtis :xoxo: , i will have my eyes peeled!!!!!!!!!! :eek: ~

[dissention]

LOL! I'm sure she'd do better than Jessica Alba, she was just a tapping away at the same already hammered nail for like 10 minutes, LOL!

Yeah, can you say photo-op? :laugh:

I got some chuckles out of seeing Joan Rivers down there, I've never seen her so dressed down. And Cynthia Nixon was definitely ready to work, she looked like she had just rolled out of bed.

[lilith2]

****! She's singing Dreams....during commerical!!

:shocked:


Yeah, I live in the Village and was thinking about going, then saw the rehearsal, thought I would be too late and that she would do only 2 songs.

How many is she going to do! I'm mad at myself!

[GypsySorcerer]

LOL! I'm sure she'd do better than Jessica Alba, she was just a tapping away at the same already hammered nail for like 10 minutes, LOL!
:lol: :lol: :lol:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Maybe. This interview happened around 9 and a little before.


So, is she going to be on again building stuff?

[dissention]

It was annoying with them showing everyone in the audience constantly! I want to see Stevie, not these people, lol! Not to mention the hosts' various blunders (Stevie Nixon, etc.).


No ****. :laugh: I tuned in to see her, not fifty random people with glitter all over their faces lipsynching to her. Brooke Shields was a riot, though; she didn't know any of the words, so she just had a constant smile plastered across her face and swayed to the music. :laugh:

[danax6]

I got some chuckles out of seeing Joan Rivers down there, I've never seen her so dressed down. And Cynthia Nixon was definitely ready to work, she looked like she had just rolled out of bed.Oh God, keep Rivers away from Stevie please, lest she get any weird ideas. :shocked:

[dissention]

Maybe. This interview happened around 9 and a little before.

So, is she going to be on again building stuff?

The site usually has video up later in the day, I'll check and see if they show all of her.

If she sticks around, I'm sure they'll show her building something in the third hour.

[bikerchic]

Brooke Shields was a riot, though; she didn't know any of the words, so she just had a constant smile plastered across her face and swayed to the music. :laugh:
Remember. She's all doped up on Paxil :laugh:

[Johnny Stew]

Ok, who's the hottie holding up the "Thank you Stevie" Sign? (dark hair, black t-shirt, right in the middle of the crowd) :thumbsup:That's exactly what I want to know! :laugh:
He was adorable... handsome, long hair, and was dancing and singing like he's Stevie's #1 fan. :nod: :D

A couple of the guys from 'Chicago' seemed to know all the words by heart, too. And Katie Couric and Brooke Shields both looked like they had tears in their eyes during "Landslide."

Stevie looked fantastic. Radiant, even.
She sounded a little stiff though... but it can't be easy singing outdoors at 8:30am when it's below 60 degrees.

The power of her performance more than made up for any stiffness though. :nod:

[Dreammms]

Remember. She's all doped up on Paxil :laugh:

lolol


i thought landslide was really good. had me bawling.

stand back was good too. got very annoyed they didnt show her twirls lol

she looked great. nice make up, hair and she WORE her platforms!!! woo hoo!

[ontheEdgeof17]

No ****. :laugh: I tuned in to see her, not fifty random people with glitter all over their faces lipsynching to her.


I don't want to pinpoint ppl out cuz they could be Ledgies or lurkers. :laugh:

[dissention]

Remember. She's all doped up on Paxil :laugh:

:lol:

Kidman essentially gave a big old "F*CK YOU" to Tommy Boy yesterday by praising psychiatry and the effects it has. :laugh:

[Dreammms]

I don't want to pinpoint ppl out cuz they could be Ledgies or lurkers. :laugh:

LOL Exactly!


I don't think she is going to be coming back on. They didn't really mention that she was gong to be back.

[dissention]

I don't want to pinpoint ppl out cuz they could be Ledgies or lurkers. :laugh:

Oh, it's nothing against them, it's just annoying when they're shown more than Stevie is. :laugh:

[bikerchic]

That's exactly what I want to know! :laugh:
He was adorable... handsome, long hair, and was dancing and singing like he's Stevie's #1 fan. :nod: :D


C a r e f u l.......he's mine! :laugh:

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

C a r e f u l.......he's mine! :laugh:
You have me curious now!

[ontheEdgeof17]

C a r e f u l.......he's mine! :laugh:


Watch out...if he is gay then Paula probably already has his number.

[ontheEdgeof17]

You have me curious now!

He's not that cute.

Gimme Brian any day. :xoxo:

[Johnny Stew]

C a r e f u l.......he's mine! :laugh:A cute long-haired boy carrying a big ol' "Thank you, Stevie Nicks" sign and singing his heart out? It might not be a fair fight. ;)

But I'm taken... so I'll just have to let one of the other boys here duke it out with you over him. :laugh:
(I'm still allowed to look and drool though!)

[danax6]

Stevie looked fantastic. Radiant, even.
She sounded a little stiff though... but it can't be easy singing outdoors at 8:30am when it's below 60 degrees.
I wonder who managed to drag her out of bed so early. :laugh:

[Dreammms]

He's not that cute.

Gimme Brian any day. :xoxo:


You are right Brian is a major hottie. Totally love him!

[Dreammms]

Stevie is on still. Holding a big black dog. Waddy is there too :)

[Johnny Stew]

Gimme Brian any day. :xoxo:
You are right Brian is a major hottie. Totally love him!Aww, you guys are gonna give me a big ego!

Oh, wait... you weren't talking about me. :distress: ;)

[ontheEdgeof17]

She'sssss backkkkkk.


Holding a dog in the Animal Adoption piece. :laugh: Too cute!

[lilith2]

No ****. :laugh: I tuned in to see her, not fifty random people with glitter all over their faces lipsynching to her. Brooke Shields was a riot, though; she didn't know any of the words, so she just had a constant smile plastered across her face and swayed to the music. :laugh:

That's strange b/c I thought that strange smile was an attempt to try to hide/stop crying. My TV is not so big though...I will look again on my other TV. :shrug:

Whatever ms. Brooke was thinking/feeling she had a very strange smile/expression on her face during the set.

[Dreammms]

Aww, you guys are gonna give me a big ego!

Oh, wait... you weren't talking about me. :distress: ;)

:lol: Come on you know we love you!

[GypsySorcerer]

Stevie is on still. Holding a big black dog. Waddy is there too :)
Or Wat-chel as Al Roker is calling him. :laugh:

[ontheEdgeof17]

SHE'S SINGING AGAIN!


It's like a full concert!

[dissention]

Whatever ms. Brooke was thinking/feeling she had a very strange smile/expression on her face during the set.

Botox? :laugh:

[Dreammms]

SHE'S SINGING AGAIN!


It's like a full concert!


How do you know that?

[Dreammms]

Botox? :laugh:

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHA

You are so bad.

[ontheEdgeof17]

How do you know that?

Stevie was kissing the dog and someone said "Stevie will be back singing another song for us"...or along those lines

[danax6]

SHE'S SINGING AGAIN!


It's like a full concert!
What's she singing?!?!

[dissention]

How do you know that?

How the hell are some of you guys watching Stevie while I have to put up with the likes of Philbin and Ripa, the two most heinous people on the telly? :laugh:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Was I hearing things? :laugh:

[Dreammms]

Stevie was kissing the dog and someone said "Stevie will be back singing another song for us"...or along those lines


OH I missed that. I don't think they are going to show it though :(

But hopefully somebody is recording it. Then it could be put on DVD and get traded.

[LuckyCharms]

Wat-chel? What the hell Roker? LOL!

[Dreammms]

How the hell are some of you guys watching Stevie while I have to put up with the likes of Philbin and Ripa, the two most heinous people on the telly? :laugh:


OH Regis and Kelly are on ABC in New York. So it's on channel 7 right now. Sucks you have to put up with them lol

[danax6]

How the hell are some of you guys watching Stevie while I have to put up with the likes of Philbin and Ripa, the two most heinous people on the telly? :laugh:Hey, I am vacuuming, beat that.

I do have The Dance dvd blasting through my surround set though. :wavey:

[dissention]

OH Regis and Kelly are on ABC in New York. So it's on channel 7 right now. Sucks you have to put up with them lol

Woe is me... :laugh:

So, I'm assuming that the third hour of Today that's on at ten here is what you guys are watching right now?

[Johnny Stew]

:lol: Come on you know we love you!Aww. :o
I was just joking around... but thank you! :D :xoxo:

[ontheEdgeof17]

OH I missed that. I don't think they are going to show it though :(

But hopefully somebody is recording it. Then it could be put on DVD and get traded.


I dunno. There's 20 minutes left. Maybe Edge of 17?

[lilith2]

Botox? :laugh:


You cracked me up. :thumbsup:


I hope the next song is EO17 (from the known possibilities)

Still Laughing....Botox Brooke

[Dreammms]

Woe is me... :laugh:

So, I'm assuming that the third hour of Today that's on at ten here is what you guys are watching right now?

I would think so :-)

She was only on for less then a minute lol

[SuzeQuze]

She's so pretty.


Damn! She held that "snnoooooowww" note....gave me chills


I love her.

That harmony was awesome! I love her too! Sometimes even I am amazed that I can still be riveted by her. Did you see Brooke? She was so moved. I am definitely buying her book now! Hehe.

[LuckyCharms]

One more song! They just said it!!!

[ontheEdgeof17]

Yup. One more Stevie song.....they just announced it. Yayz.

[Dreammms]

I dunno. There's 20 minutes left. Maybe Edge of 17?

YAY!" Still to come one more song from STEVIE NICKS" said the reporter.

WOO HOOO

[SuzeQuze]

How the hell are some of you guys watching Stevie while I have to put up with the likes of Philbin and Ripa, the two most heinous people on the telly? :laugh:

:mad: That SUCKS! Until it goes around on the 'net. Phew. :lol:

[Johnny Stew]

Woe is me... :laugh:

So, I'm assuming that the third hour of Today that's on at ten here is what you guys are watching right now?It airs straight through from 8am to 10am here in Pittsburgh, so I'm not really sure if your area will play that third hour later or not.
I always thought all the affiliates played these morning news shows live... so I'm stumped!

[dissention]

The station I'm watching now started it at seven, ended it at nine, is annoying me with Philbin until ten, and then the third hour of Today is on at ten. Who the hell knows. :laugh:

Like I said, I never watch Today, I'm a Diane Sawyer kind of guy.

[Dreammms]

SO what song do you think she will sing? HAEWAFY?

[GypsySorcerer]

I never watch it either. Couric annoys me to death. What we don't do for Stevie. :laugh:

[Johnny Stew]

SO what song do you think she will sing? HAEWAFY?I sincerely hope it's "Has Anyone."

I'm really jonesing to hear her do that one right about now.

[Johnny Stew]

The station I'm watching now started it at seven....Oops, yeah... I said it starts here at 8, but it actually starts at 7 and then runs through until 10.

[bikerchic]

Probably EO17 for the casual's.

[dissention]

I never watch it either. Couric annoys me to death. What we don't do for Stevie. :laugh:

:laugh:

Honey, my head was over the toilet bowl watching Couric hammer that nail with her "America's Sweetheart" schtick out in full force. :laugh: I was hoping Roker would hit her accidentally, rendering her unconscious for the duration.

[ontheEdgeof17]

I sincerely hope it's "Has Anyone."

I'm really jonesing to hear her do that one right about now.


Me, too!

It was really really really really good this past tour.

[Johnny Stew]

What we don't do for Stevie. :laugh:Seriously!
I was up at 8am just to see Stevie. If that's not devotion, I don't know what is! :laugh:

[GypsySorcerer]

My dear mother just called me and said, "Stevie is on the Today show." Bless her heart. :laugh:

[Dreammms]

Probably EO17 for the casual's.

Edge might be too long for the time limits.

DREAMS lol

[Johnny Stew]

It's "Dreams."

The first time must have just been a run-through.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Dreams...

....from the previous performance I'm assuming.

[GypsySorcerer]

Seriously!
I was up at 8am just to see Stevie. If that's not devotion, I don't know what is! :laugh:
I know. I don't get up at 8 am for anybody. :laugh:

[Dreammms]

Wait so is Brooke crying or is that her face?

[ontheEdgeof17]

It's "Dreams."

The first time must have just been a run-through.


I think they are just showing the performance over.

[dissention]

I know. I don't get up at 8 am for anybody. :laugh:

You people are lazy bums! I get up at 5:30 every morning! :laugh:

[Violet]

FWIW, my husband has seen these over the satellite when he's working, and the third song is always from tape. This is the one she was doing when they came out of the commercial before. That's when it was taped.

Carol

[dissention]

Wait so is Brooke crying or is that her face?

Like I said, I think it's botulism injected into her face. :laugh:

[Johnny Stew]

I think they are just showing the performance over.You're right -- that's exactly what they did.

I'm glad they re-played it in its entirety so we didn't miss out on seeing it though.

[Johnny Stew]

You people are lazy bums! I get up at 5:30 every morning! :laugh:I'm usually going to bed at 5:30! :laugh:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Like I said, I think it's botulism injected into her face. :laugh:


It did look tight....and GREASY!

[bikerchic]

My dear mother just called me and said, "Stevie is on the Today show." Bless her heart. :laugh:
Don't you just love that. :xoxo: My family does that all the time for me. My sister called me once and said there's some sort of special on Fleetwood Mac on Much Music right now. It was the "Classic Album's" the making of Rumour's :laugh:

[lilith2]

Like I said, I think it's botulism injected into her face. :laugh:


ms. Brooke could be crying but the botox creates an "other" mixed up expression on her face that is unidentifiable. (no sympathy, botox baby)
It's very weird looking to me & on my small set it loooked like she was holding tears back w/a wretched smile. I'll look on my big TV.

Anyone else see this? :confused:

Families are the best!


Stevie was fantastic! That totally made my week! She looked so pretty, I thought it was neat seeing the audience too (I couldn't help but notice alot of those fine people had cameras ;) :wavey: Hi! how's it going, take any good pictures recently?)

@#$@

I tried to play it back and I get NO SIGNAL. I hope it taped or I will be upset.
