7th Row Hershey,pa.

[NOMAD2]

I can't believe got 7th row from tic master today for tomorrow's show. . Probably should have waited a little longer but didn't want to take chance. I've been lucking out the couple years with hitting tic master at the last minute & getting good seats. Despite me bitching about concert tics these days it sometimes beats the old days of standing in line for a day or two for great seats.

[Dreams22]

That's awesome! I'm in Section C, row 6. I got them the day they went on sale and every few weeks I'd check Ticketmaster again and it seems 6th ad 7th rows would keep popping up. Going to be a great show!

You guys that are attending tonights show.HAVE FUN.Be safe and enjoy the show.

[Dreams22]

Will do! I have on my "Leather & Lace" 2005 Tour T Shirt on :)

[NOMAD2]

Gorgeous weather, gorgeous show, & still a gorgeous gal. Great show . Above average audience. Unfortunately, they didn't leave us rush the stage til AFTER EDGE...( me & wife got in front of Waddy for last song). It is a really high stage & it didn't look like anyone even touched her hand despite her walking across the edge of stage at end of EOS. I know I get a bit negative on some of our ole legends like some others but on a night like this...THERE WAS STILL MAGIC ALL AROUND.
Pics & video PLEASE.
PEACE

I had on my WILD HEART T-shirt from 1983.

I'm unbelievably jealous that you have that shirt.

That's my favorite Stevie T-design ever.

Pet Peeve: When the Youtube filmer at a concert only tapes Rhiannon, Dreams, Landslide, and Gold Dust Woman! :mad:

With that being said, I could watch any version of Ghosts are Gone, Stand Back, or Moonlight. :D

[tothegypsy]

Looks like Ghosts Are Gone is the first set list casualty...she didn't play it last night.

WHAT?!?!?! COME ON!!! :(:(:(:(:(:(

Hopefully this was a time issue, aka 11 0 clock curfew?

However, of all the songs to drop? Really? Its strange, from the JB/PNC clips, it looks like she is having a blast during this one.

[Eugene]

Not certain what the ticket time was in Hershey, but Marc Cohn went on exactly at 8 Monday night, played for 30 minutes, Stevie on stage at 8:45, set was a little over two hours. Ended well before 11 PM.

Yeah, I was there a few years back for a FM show. Had a BLAST, but remember the stage being huge and super high. I guess it's so everyone in the venue can have a good view.

some one (vwall10411) put up a LOT of the show on youtube- and it includes some of Stevie's conversation on a couple of videos: (thank you vwall10411, whoever you are)

[Dreams22]

LOVED this show! It was my 3rd time seeing Stevie solo and probably the best. She sounded excellent! I took a lot of pics and I'll upload some this week :) During the intro conversation she said something like she was in the land of Chocolate and she was doing kiss noises into the microphone and saying those were her chocolate kisses to us. She did it again at the end of the night as well...ADORABLE!! Also, like it was noted, "Ghosts Are Gone" was...well, gone. I was a bit surprised, but overall the show was great :)

Thanks for posting..I'm about halfway through and it's great footage! Much like what Stevie said from the (2nd??) night about how she is trying to show her personality more and laugh..etc..
As Dreams22 posted, after Rock & Roll she cracks up at herself for saying, "Well what do say to a chocolate city?!" then.."no don't even go there!" as the audience laughs along with her. And another great comment after Stand Back on how they dug out the original cape.
We're only a few shows in and I have NEVER heard Stevie genuinely laugh this hard and THIS much through smiling at her shows in a very long time, if not ever. I am SO proud of her for letting go a bit and feeling our love..while reciprocating it right back.

Off to view the rest of the show..

[NOMAD2]

Yes,she is letting her hair down,sort of speak, maybe more than ever. I love to hear her talk between songs. It's so unlike most artist.

[mitzo]

Too bad about the loss of Ghosts are Gone - wouldn't it make a great starter instead of Rock n' Roll?!

[Regina]

Thank you, Ms. Blackcat.
I'm so glad you all had fun. It sounds like it was a terrific show (although, I want her to put Ghosts back in).

Can't wait for Atlantic City's show.

[Regina]

Thank you for the b-day wishes, Ms. Blackcat. It was nce but no Stevie-concert;-)

[Macfanforever]

I was hoping for Rock and Roll to get dumped.To bad Ghost got spooked out of the setlist.IYD would be a great opener .

[olive]

dropping songs .. i hope by the time she gets to Boston it's not the Greatest Hit set all over again

[wheart]

dropping songs .. i hope by the time she gets to Boston it's not the Greatest Hit set all over again

yeah, and dropping a new song from this album that's she's so very proud of? Don't get it.

[StevieNicksfann]

Absolutely. This best fits as the opener to the IYD tour.

[Amlyn]

I was at this show and security said they had to be done by 11. At 1030, she just finished up Landslide and so I am almost certain they dropped GAG to accommodate getting EO17 and Love Is . EO17, even without Lenny, still is like 16-17 minutes long because Jimmy is doing a drum solo still.

Performance wise, this show was great and right up there with the NYC area shows. Being lucky enough to go to the first few shows, i recognized this show was running about 2 h 10 min and since she didn't go on at Hershey till just about 9, something had to give. That and she is really giving quite an intro to SA and Moonlight and AL which personally, i wouldn't trade for anything because her chatter has been one of the highlights on this tour so far.

I must add I was beyond dissappointed with this venue. My front row left center seat was more like left field at a ball park, and not how it was advertised. No where did it say partial obstruction or anything. We couldn't see more than half the stage, not to mention the 8 ft high stage left us without any possibility for an edge walk. Then there were rumors that she was going to come down from the stage to the ground to do an edge walk, and this was even confirmed by multiple security personnel, but that too was canned, possibly due to time, although to be honest I would have been shocked if she would have done that just because of the safety factor, especially after the grabbing incident the night before at the Beacon.

I hope to hear GAG is back in Detroit!

[Macfanforever]

Stop at 10:30? I thought cerfew was 11pm.Ok How was security with the photo taking.
At JB and PNC they did not give a crap about photo taking or atlease in my section. they didn't.If thats the case if she got to lop songs out for time maybe she should dump the opening act or have them lop tunes out of their setlist instead.

No, I was saying at the 1030 mark, there was not enought time to make the 11pm curfew if they tried to play GAG, EO17 and LI, so they dropped GAG....all speculation, but i hope that is true.

PNC hands down was the best security of all the shows I went to. At Hershey, they didn't seem to care about pics what so ever, but videos were monitored and told to shut it down.

Ok I understand.I hope she will bring GAG back in the lineup.Yes I agree with PNC.Atlease they did not confiscate the fans cameras though.

[Dreams22]

Amlyn, I agree about the seating! I had never been to the Star Pavilion and why do they even call it a pavilion? It's just the backside of the stage stage with chairs in the back parking lot and the lawn area. I was thinking it was going to be something like PNC Bank Center, something that had an overhang. I was in section C, row 6 and it wasn't terrible, but if you didn't have section B you had somewhat partially obstructed view it seemed. I saw there was a section too my left that like you said looked like left field, I could only imagine how the view was from there. I would've been pissed.

Security it seemed was more concerned about people who brought umbrellas LOL...they were telling people to take them back to the car of if they saw them in line, they asked a few people to check them near the stage and collect them when they left. Security came up to the guy in front of me who had one and he said about. Someone then mentioned cameras to him and my ears perked up because I had my with and was curious how they were (on the website, it says no cameras allowed). He said if they see someone hold it up in the air for a few seconds and it goes down, no big deal, but if it stays up and their recording then we tell them to stop. So when Stevie came out you should've seen all those cameras! LOL.

I took ALOT of photos and rather than post them all, here's the link to the public version of my FB album...enjoy!!

Actually, I was in your section, up at the front, but I imagine just being a few rows back you might have had a slightly better view. Once i saw the stage and knew the edge walk was out, i said, darn, we could have saved a ton and gone for like 15th row center. All i was able to see was speakers, Stevie, and the right part of the stage. We kept trying to inch up a bit but the security people would go crazy. It wasn't like we were trying to sneak into Section B, we were just congregating in 2-3 rows in front of the first 3-4 seats in our own row. Ugh, never going back there again. And you are right, there was other sections 50-60 ft over further from us. So as bad as I felt I had it, those people were really out to pasture (literally!) I just feel the seating charts misrepresented the layout big time. Well, now we know.

Hope you enjoyed the show nonetheless! She still sounded great and aside from all my frustrations with seating, I'm glad I went. It was worth it just to see her blow kisses into the mike alone.

I saw a link on FB to the local radio station near Hershey.

In the first pic you can see that GAG was on the setlist, so i'm really thinking it was cut for time.

If you then scroll to the end looks like a bunch of fans got to meet Stevie. Lucky you know whats!!!!

Edit: I didn't look yet but there's also a bunch of pics from her performance.

[WildHearted]

Not faaaaaaair. I WANT TO MEET STEVIE.

Thanks for sharing the link to the pics! The one of Stevie putting her head on the little girl is adorable.

She is certainly embracing the little ones this time! Hmmm....may have to think about that for next time. I hope my friends won't mind if i borrow their daughter for a night.

Hah!

But seriously - it makes me sad that I'm not attending a show!

My little sister is one of the main reasons I've been even considering driving 9 hours to go to one...

She's 12 and has special needs and LOVES Stevie (she also loves Dolly Parton, too, but that's a whole 'nother story :laugh:). She would FREAK if I took her to a concert. Every time I drive her somewhere, she makes me put Stevie on and we both jam out, she knows all the words to basically everything. At night she always has me sing For What It's Worth - that's her absolute favorite.

I swear I didn't like indoctrinate her into this or anything :laugh: she just loves it for some reason (I like to think it's because she inherited my superb taste for music).

Wow...and today there was a fire in the same area where we all were 2 nights. ago. From what I gather this was on the other side of the stadium next to where the star pavillion is, but we are talking maybe 200-300 yards?

Good evening blackcat... you made me meow tonight by pointing me in the direction of some Stevie Nicks' current tour live moments... I hope you enjoyed Hershey.. I wish I could have been there, too.. top hats off to the person who captured the videos. very, very nice. I just finished viewing "Landslide" and I thought what I thought Stevie said right before singing was like.. I don't know...

"consider.. that your family is not always forever.. and dig that."

at the Beacon on Monday was the first time I heard Stevie sing "Landslide" live after my father had passed..

I just get it now.

I appreciate what you said. Hearing the same/exact* song at different times in ones life, gives a song new meaning.

Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

hm. I don't know.

I'm glad you got to go home, but you were very missed!

[NOMAD2]

Love the old barn. I just can't understand why they built new arena when they intended to keep the ole barn? I can't believe that's the first time I went to the STADIUM despite seeing hundreds of concerts ( 16 Stevie & FM) & live only 2 hrs from Hershey.

[NOMAD2]

Thanks for the pics & videos of concert. Now as said earlier ,if I could just get a complete dvd of this concert that would complete the magic of this night.

[NOMAD2]

As I said earlier I made it up against stage at end. Row 1 seats seem like they would suck only because you really have a lot of stage site ( lower part of Bodies ) cut off compared to most other venues because of it's height.

[Dreams22]

Amlyn, I agree, I don't think I'd go back either. I live 25 minutes away so I couldn't pass up the chance to see her this close, but I hated the venue. At lease security didn't care about people taking pics. That was the plus. You're right, just to hear her blow "chocolate kisses" into the mic was a highlight LOL...how frickin' adorable is that woman?!?!

[Dreams22]

Here are 5 pics from the Stevie show...more to come!
