Stevie Questions!!!

[portiab44]

So i am new to the ledge but i had a couple questions...I just saw stevie in atlanta on 3/24 and noticed she did not use her tambourine at all!! Also, she didnt even wear heels until the duets with rod stewart...my friend i went with is a doctor and she suggested she must have a back problem because even when she bowed her back was so straight...i thought it could be just a corset or something that comes along with her stage clothes...does anyone know whats going on? thanks!!

Stevie has been wearing her platform boots on and off during tours for the past few years. Sometimes she does the whole show in boots, other days she does the whole show in her platform reboks, and other times she alternates between them. I would assume the boots kill her feet to be up there in them for so long, so even tho I think boots are a must, I am getting used to the Reboks. She did however wear heels (not her normal boots tho) at the Madison Square Garden show on the 26th and she even did her high kick in them at the end!

The lack of her tambourine tho is interesting. It is another signature item of hers which she always has, but it appears to be missing this tour. I think it has to do with her setlist tho. She uses the tambo a lot with the Mac for songs that aren't hers, but only a few of her solo songs. I know she used it on two of the cover songs, Face The Promise and You Wreck Me, last August, but neither of those are in the set this go around. But no worries, Mama's tambo and boots will be back before too long!
