Stevie said "Mick" right nbefore Beauty and the Beast on Saturday
 

Forgive me if this has already been discussed (there are about five million pages about Vegas- it would take me all day to read every post!) but did everyone else notice how after the piano solo, right before she started to sing Stevie said "Mick" and then seemed a little flustered like she was thinking out loud or something? I thought this was very interesting and everyone when she said this was like "huh?". She obviously didn't mean to say this. And then after the song she said someone's name and said "yes, that song's for you!" Was she talking about Mick Fleetwood?

I just have to say that Vegas was amazing and Beauty and the Beast was the best experience of my life (either that or getting to shake her hand and having her smile at me... I can't decide which was more thrilling :laugh: ) Anyways, during B&theB on Friday night I almost fell collapsed, the song was so beautiful. I couldn't move and didn't clap or scream when the song was over because it was just too beautiful and heart breaking. "I've never doubted your beauty... I've changed!" OMG, just thinking about it is too much.

What night?

Saturday... I figured everyone whold be talking about this.

I asked a few people and the ones who responded said they didn't hear it. Who knows. He was there...maybe she dedicated it to him. :shrug:

Maybe she spotted him in the audience & said "Ick!"

;)

I saw in another thread that she said at the end of BaTB that it was for "Ruby and Tessa"...her Goddaughters. So...that is very sweet.

I said that in another thread. Last night she did say Mick at the beginning of BATB. It was intentional because he was there. I was across the aisle from Mick and his wife and the twins, Ruby and Tessa. Stevie knew they were there. At the end she said that was for Ruby and Tessa. Mick really wasn't paying too much attention during the show or even during that part. He was mostly juggling one of the girls on his lap and keeping her busy. His wife had the other twin on her lap. One rude dude tried to get Mick's autograph during the show. What an ass. The twins were very well behaved for tots their age. Good going, Mick. :thumbsup:

She definitely said Mick! I was sitting directly across the aisle from him and she looked at him when she said it. She said MICK!!! I nearly had a heart attack! Such a magical moment!

Oh hey! I saw this after I posted. It was great meeting you! Weird that Mick didn't really respond too much even when she sang Beauty and the Beast. Hmmm... I noticed he was chatting quite a bit during the show. That would have been annoying for the people around him trying to watch.

AAARRGGHHHHHHH - I tried to hook up with glitter_fades - but we kept getting sidetracked :laugh: That way we all coulda met - oh well, maybe next time!!!!

I would think it a little embarassing to be sitting in the audience with the wife and kids, and have your ex bemoaning the loss of your great love.... perhaps he was grateful that the twins were taking his attention away from that....

I don't think that was what she was doing. JMO. He was there. He was in the video she did on that song. Her god daughter's were there. She acknowledged Mick and the kids with the song. That's all. She dedicated Landslide to her mother on Friday.

You were there on Saturday night???? I thought you were only going to be there Tuesday and Wednesday???

Boy, whatta loser I am. I missed Sparky AND I missed Daniel the Dink....

That's the price of marital bliss :D

Hey, Daniel. Thanks for backing me up. I was the lady next to you on the aisle. I'm sorry we didn't see you again after the show. Caesar's was nuts on Saturday so we left after about an hour. Wasn't Stevie amazing? I saw all 4 shows. Nothing will ever top the show on Wednesday, but I think you had to be in the first 5 or 10 rows to get that show. It was not for general public consumption, as far as I could tell. I'm still not sure it was really Stevie on stage Wednesday. She was like a totally different person that night. Tues she was nervous. Wed, if you were sitting in the first few rows, you could see she was noticeably uninhibited. Fri and Sat were great overall shows for the entire audience. Every show was worth seeing and was special for a different reason. As long as you never believed all the bull she was slinging in the Jim Ladd interview, there was nothing disappointing about her performances. She had great attitude and seemed happier than ever. Her vocals were outstanding. She sounded better and more consistant than she's sounded live in many years. Imo, the videos were an annoying distraction but were necessary to keep Stevie from being swallowed up by that huge stage. It would have been nice if the videos were relevant. I didn't care for them much at all except the rare ones of Stevie herself. It would have been better use of the screens if she had been projected up there singing more than the quick few times they showed her full screen. I'm sure she didn't want to be shown up there, ten feet high, in close ups for everyone to scrutinize how she looked. Too bad for the people sitting far away, because she looked great and it would have been better to see her up close to clearly appreciate the performances.

I agree - I think she was just acknowledging him and them.

Yeah, I don't think she was necessarily singing that song directly to Mick. I had the impression both nights that I saw her perform it that she was singing it to the idea of love and loss as opposed to a particular individual.

I called and left you a couple of messages. :sorry:

I guess it just wasn't meant to be. :laugh:

Am I now Daniel the Dink? I like it! We'll go with that!

And I was always going opening and closing nights. I was planning on trying to get Friday tickets but decided not to. Too many fun things to do in Vegas and I was willing to only see two shows! I still wish I saw Wednesday's show 'cause Glitter_Fades was freaking out about it all night. But c'est la vie! Ooh, look at me! I stay at Paris for a week and now I'm all French or something! :lol: :laugh:

I know - telephone tag it was. AND - my phone worked in CP but would drop calls - Plus, there was no way to hear it ringing. Oh well, it was nice to talk to you Sat. afternoon!!!!!!!!!!

Huh?? :shrug:

I was in the first row during BatB on Saturday and she did say Mick. I must confess that I was too busy checking out her boots to really care though. :o

Wednesdays show was the BEST. I agree, was that really Stevie?? :] She was so sexy and apparently in another world. :lol: I loved it.

I think it is very sweet and very Stevie to dedicate BatB to Mick and the kids while they were there. He was in the video and all.

And to think, I could not get away from you! :laugh: You kept finding me. I think that when you saw me during the day outside of Ceasar's I had gone back to snap a few photos of David. :shocked: ;)
I had a great time hanging with you! I had a great time with everyone actually.

I don't agree. I think she was just acknowledging Mick - he knows it's about him. Many fans know it. I'm sure his wife knows it. And their affair happened long before Mick's marriage to his wife. I actually think it's really sweet that Stevie and he have stayed such close and dear friends. She's Ruby and Tessa's godmother; I think clearly she's close friends with (is her name Lynn??) Mick's wife, too.

JMO.

Does anyone else agree that she was thinking out loud? It sounded ackward to just say his name mid-song and she onbviously didn't mean to say it. The second the song was over she quickly clarified what she said, or at least that is what it seemed like to me. Does anyone have a bootleg of this show? You will hear what I mean.

She didn't say it mid song. It was right before she started singing the song.

But the song had already started as far as the piano was concerned. It seemes strange to me. It was certainly out of place to my ears.

Did anyone notice if someone was filming Wednesday's show? Might be why she was acting perkier... ?? Nice thought, eh?

Ask Daniel. He saw her look over. She can't see past the first row, but she knew where Mick and family were sitting.
We were right across from him.

I thought she had laser surgery - but maybe she still cannot. In any event, I think it was just a shout out to her friend :cool:

Someone sitting in the second mez said they were next to a camera man who said the show was not being filmed but monitored for the screens. However, Stevie was being shown close up all the time on the camera. I forget where I read that or which night it was. I think it was posted here somewhere?

Saturday nite, I noticed a guy filming from the sound board box. :nod:

that was me (and mike aka poetinmyhear), and yes it was only being used for the screens. now FM films all of their shows, surely stevie does as well... to see what's working, what needs work, etc. seeing professional eqipment is a bit misleading, but i wouldn't hold out for an official recording.

Also, I met a guy at "Le Crape" or whatever it was called at Paris and while waiting for our orders he saw my Stevie shirt and told me he worked the video and lights for Stevie and Fleetwood Mac. The first thing out of my mouth was "Is the concert going to be released on video or anything?" And he said no but Stevie wanted to come back and that the show might be recorded for official release then.

I don't think we'll see an official recording. I don't think that's what the cameras were for.

I suspect the close ups were viewable on in house monitor(s).

Yeah, if you were out in the restroom area, they had TV's everywhere - you could still see and hear the show...

As for the Mick comment, it was very deliberate...almost as if she was saying it to get his attention. I don't recall any obvious sound glitches, but it's possible that her mike cut out and she was saying, "This is for you..." and then her mike came on when she said "Mick." But my impression was that there was no technical glitch, and she really did just say, "MICK!"

That makes a lot of sense - maybe that her mic was cut out. I was wondering if she had been in the middle of saying to someone on stage something about Mick and then her mic came up and caught his name. But I think your theory makes far more sense.

I'm also wondering if like many of the Fleetwood Mac shows, she didn't record them for her own personal use...perhaps to view them later and see what she could improve on, etc.

Interesting point... but i don't think Stevie ever looks at herself on camera... i remember her saying somewhere that it makes her "paranoid"... but it's a possibility, at least as far as the vocals as concerned...
