Anyone going to Hulaween?

[SpyNote]

Anyone using next month's rent/mortgage payment to see Stevie on Halloween? :woohoo:

[henryscutter]

Anyone have any info on this?

[GarboSpeaks!]

Yea. What the heck?!?!?!? Surely one of you Ledgies was cool enough to be able to go. Deets pls. :xoxo:

[ontheEdgeof17]

I've been looking all over for pics or something interesting. Getty Images has photos from the event, but none of Stevie.

[Beachwood Mac]

Joy Behar talked about going to it on The View this morning and I was hoping she would mention Stevie but didn't.

the first 3 people's avatars in this thread-stevie is looking down.

yes..I'm a dork.:laugh:


no, I'm not going.

[danax6]

Someone over on 7W spotted this:

Stevie Nicks was waiting to take the stage. All I can say is it was worth the wait. The audience went berserk as she appeared, swelling voluptuously out of a black lace dress over four-inch black leather boots. Her voice, one of the most distinctive in rock'n'roll, was rich and full. As Nicks went into her famous trademark "twirl," the crowd yelled loud enough to be heard out on Park Avenue. Forty minutes later when she finished, the room was on its feet and Bette herself was rocking out. It was funny, campy and thanks to Stevie, enjoyably sweaty.

P.S. ON Stevie Nicks. This iconic, somewhat mysterious performer, spends time these days visiting wounded soldiers at Walter Reade Hospital. She gives presence, support and iPods filled with great music as well. Asked about this, she blushes and brushes it off: "They're great guys -- and gals. No matter what you think about the war, it's the least anybody can do, right?" Right.

She wore black lace and black boots. :rolleyes:

[Sorceress]

This was an amazing party. I wish Stevie performed at this every year, because I'd love to have an excuse to go again. People were dressed in the most gorgeous costumes and the place was decorated fabulously. It was a lot bigger than I'd imagined it would be--they ended up raising $2 million for New York Restoration Project. The food was great and it's always fun to hang around a bunch of tipsy monied New Yorkers.
We spoke to Joy Behar and Waddy saved me from a vicious elevator at the end of the show, but the other celebs who were there were well hidden. If we go again, we will know to wait outside to see everyone entering the hotel. I imagine it would be easier to pick people out on the red carpet than amongst a crowd. I don't think Stevie sat at a table and ate with everyone else as Bette did, but I could be wrong.

Here is the real set list:

Stand Back
Rhiannon
Outside the Rain
Dreams
Stop Draggin'
Landslide
Edge of 17
Rock n Roll

Stevie wore the black dress, of course, though it seemed a bit shorter than I remembered it in the past. She wore the platform ankle boots and black gloves. Her voice was fab and her hair looked great. I had a hard time understanding what she was saying when she spoke, but the gist of it was that Willie Nelson and Bette were some of her favorite people in the world and she was so pleased to be there. She seemed a bit flustered, saying "I'm trying to figure out what to say" before she introduced OTR. People definitely appreciated her and cheered for her and I know there were quite a few who went to the event just to see her, but everyone sat the entire time. There were a handful of people standing along the sides and a few at the tables who actually stood. A few people attempted to experiment with security and a possible Edge walk, but no one was allowed at the stage and Stevie didn't make any move to shake any hands.

Here are a couple of pictures... It was hard to get anything really good from where I was standing, but you get the general idea.

omg. this is now one of my favorite stevie pictures. thanks for the recap!

[Rickypt]

Thanks for the review and pictures! Sounds like a great time. Did Stevie wear the hat the entire performance?

[Sorceress]

Nope, just for Rock and Roll, I think. Maybe Edge too, but I'm not sure. I, embarrassingly enough, was involved in a small conversation with a security guard during Edge, so I sort of did not notice if she was wearing the hat or not.

[SandyMac]

Thank you for posting these pics. Ahh, there, got another shot of my Nicks Fix:) I have it bad.

She looks wonderful. I love the boots. Wonder if any more photos will pop up over at Getty Images or well, maybe some photos of her will be posted on Bette's site for the Project since they have previous years photos posted.
Now, if only we had audio... I know, I am asking way too much but we all know we can never get enough of Stevie. :nod:

Wonder if she will open with SB in Vegas? :shrug:

[MacMan]

Cool! Thanks for posting the pics. She looks a little odd... Maybe it's the bottom half of her, seems odd to see her on stage without the trademark flowing dress/skirt - what ever you call it... I dig that hat...

[HejiraNYC]

Cool! Thanks for posting the pics. She looks a little odd... Maybe it's the bottom half of her, seems odd to see her on stage without the trademark flowing dress/skirt - what ever you call it... I dig that hat...

She could have totally rocked a witch hat with this outfit. I know she has big issues with the whole witch thing... but I think it would have been funny/ironic/campy/de-stigmatizing if she had done it.

Oh, those were the days... when Christine would show up as Aunt Jemima...

[desertangel]

That's definitely a different type of skirt... and I must say, I rather like it! I've had an idle curiosity of what she would look like without all the layers for awhile. It's classy, it works and it shows off her cute figure. :thumbsup:

Thank you so much for sharing these pictures! So glad you got to go, sounds like a wonderful time!

[LiquidBlue5000]

Wonder if she will open with SB in Vegas? :shrug:

I hope not. I think SB should always be played towards the end of her set.. It's such a climax song in her shows anyway.. I actually think it would be the perfect encore, right after 'Edge'.. :cool:

[diamondsnake]

I love her outfit! The skirt is much more flattering since it is not as flowy/layered. And I agree that a witch hat would have been a nice touch, but I don't think Stevie would dare wear a witch hat with all the rumors about her actually being a witch! It would have been so funny though...

Great picture. It is fabulous! And, I am glad you had a great time. Stevie looks great...

[JazmenFlowers]

I agree the skirt is odd. to me, it seems like it's the underlayer to another skirt or something...just odd...and it doesn't flow well with ankle boots. AT ALL. ugh. why not put leg warmers on then?! that probably would've made a world of difference. I guess I'm in the minority that thinks the flowy layer skirt actually flatters her figure. oh well. at least she rocked.

You can do it for me and Ryan in Vegas!!!:nod: :D

[strandinthewind]

. . . .Oh, those were the days... when Christine would show up as Aunt Jemima...

THAT is one of my fav.'s ever. She looks so dead pan in it and the booze and the cig. just add to it. Then - John as an SS Officer completed the fab. for me.

[skcin]

Thanks for the info, and glad you had a good time. :thumbsup:

All the more reason to wear one, IMO.

The skirt with the ankle boot sucks. The hat is fab. She looks great though. Thanks for the review and pics.

I'm just glad the Reeboks stayed away from Hulaween.

[gldstwmn]

So who was in the band? I see Carlos and Jana. Lindsey's got some of her touring band out with him. Who played keys and drums?

I guess I'm in the minority that thinks the flowy layer skirt actually flatters her figure. oh well. at least she rocked.I was wondering whether this was the same short skirt she wore on the Australian leg of the GD tour? I like it when she wears a short skirt, she's got some great legs, but I was kind of hoping for something different, this being Hulaween. But yeah, Stevie...

[CelticGypsy]

I love her in the flowy skirts too. I think Stevie looks better in the taller boots. Would looked great with that short skirt but the shorter boots are in style now. I actually watched Oprah yesterday and liked the Cole Haan boots Oprah was wearing. Stevie should get a pair of boots like those if she doesn't have them already. She would look great in them.

[ELIUD]

Thanks for the review and the great pics! But I need a better shot of the skirt before I cast my vote. Love the length though, in the shot hugging Bette, it looks kinda layered.

And I'm all for Stevie embracing her inner and outer witchyness. F*ck the holy rollers that spread stupid rumors.

I prefer the longer skirt. The shorter length looked a little matronly to me with the normal sequined top. I also think longer boots would have looked better with the short length, but the outfit DID show off her great legs.

[Sorceress]

So who was in the band? I see Carlos and Jana. Lindsey's got some of her touring band out with him. Who played keys and drums?

Jimmy Paxton was on drums. Brett and Taku flew in for the show and were flying out the next morning to play with Lindsey in Phoenix. I can't believe I forgot to add earlier that Lori was singing back up (in addition to Sharon and Jana).

****! I got so excited when I saw Mindy was back. DAMN. I HATE JANA'S VOICE. I loved Mindy, I wish she would come back!

Did Stevie even wear any shawls or anything? Did she wear the white skirt for EO17?

No extra shawls or anything except the hat and gloves. I guess she figured the set was too short to worry about changing clothes.

[BlackWidow]

I was gonna say...:shrug:
Mindy & hubby Dean are selling there home and moving to Sacramento.
She is leaving the business to be a Mom....She is my neighbor.

[SandyMac]

No extra shawls or anything except the hat and gloves. I guess she figured the set was too short to worry about changing clothes.

Wow, no capes, no shawls, no flowing skirts, I wonder if Stevie felt kind of lost without anything to hold onto. (sorry, a little tongue in cheek comment there). :wavey:

Still, you have to agree it would be kind of odd/different to see Stevie minus all of that finery. I wonder if she twirled at all during Stand Back.
(edit: Although I do like the look she is starting to sport to show more leg, ie Rock and Roll outfit)

I wonder if Stevie minus all of her capes,shawls, flowing skirts were her kind of "costume" for the night to be different on stage. I know I am reaching here, but the thought just popped into my head.

[gldstwmn]

[nightbird89]

Was her performing as good as it was on the TP tour?

[Sorceress]

Was her performing as good as it was on the TP tour?

I thought she was in very fine voice, and she did a mid-level version of the Stand Back kick, so she was fairly energetic. I think TPs shows were special to her so she let loose completely in a way she doesn't when it's all up to her. I'd like to know others' opinions on Hulaween to see if they agree.

[UnwindedDreams]

Where is Unwinded Dreams? Didn't she go to this?

No...my friend basically screwed me...I was all set for the ticket and I was supposed to meet her in the city on Tuesday...never showed up...show's you how you can trust friends:( I was so looking forward to this. Now I have to find away to hunt her down for my money...(not in a violent way:laugh: )I'm kind of depressed...but what kind of made me happy is that you called me a she...I'm John:laugh:
