Who would see Stevie in Vegas again?
 

I'm curious as to how many people would go see Stevie again in Vegas or for the first time if she continues to play there. If she plays once a year I think I would definitely want to go. Of course if she plays twice a year I would want to go too but that could get really expensive.

I would, for sure, if I had the money, which is doubtful, but you know what I mean. I totally would. Totally. Only I'd try to bring all my own food, so as not to spend $25 every 4 hours when I was hungry.... :laugh:

I would definitely go! I never went the first time but after hearing all the stories that went on I really want to go. Well, even if I didn't hear those stories I still wanted to go. :)

Sure - I'm not that into Vegas, but if she put some effort into putting something spectacular together visually, I'd go. More so because she seems to save her voice far too much on tour, and it seems like she's reading her songs, rather than getting into them - as she did in Vegas. The passion she showed on Saturday night was worth the trip. But she really has to:

Get prettier (yet still comfy) shoes!
Get a set designer (not her brother)
Get a merchandising person (again, not her brother!)
Learn to do more with her songs - her effort with Beauty & Beast was closer to what I would expect from a continual or limited enegagement in Vegas. If she can do that for all her songs, I'd relocate!

(Stevie dear, call me if you're short on ideas!)

I would go for sure, from Paula's photos I've seen there's also a small Colosseum there so I would feel home. :D Seriously I want to see her in concert and as soon as my work and my finances would allow me, I'd go too see her, in which city it would be isn't that important to me.

Besides I have to see chocolate fountain. :nod:

I would go again
 

in a heartbeat! I had the best time and I still have not even crashed from it! :blob1:

Well, i had a blast in Vegas... i loved the city and i loved the shows.. so i would absolutely go again.. and again :thumbsup:

Time of your life...

Yes. In a heartbeat. Without question. :thumbsup:

Now, would hubby be OK with me spending $1000 to fly to Vegas, stay 2 nights & see two shows again? That's another story. :o

I am not too sure if I would go again. I was expecting a bit more. Don't get me wrong she looked great and sounded great but I was hoping that she would at least walk around with the mic and do something a bit different.
Vegas is not my kind of place either, however I did like the buffets. :] I am quiet and I don't drink or do clubs. I also don't have hundreds of dollars to spend on the stores that they have out there, too. I like bargains! The walking was insane, too! I will need to bring a spare set of feet if I do go next time. :eek:

Most likely, yes. :) I would most likely just fly out for a show or two and leave. My feet/ankles are still recovering.

LOL - and I DRAGGED you to every bar in the joint :laugh:

I don't know if I'd go. It sounds like a fun, intimate show and I've been blown away by her voice from what I've heard, but I just can't justify spending all that money on travel and expenses just to see a concert. I'm a cheapskate, I suppose.

I would fly you up there just to see you guffaw at the vegas buildings, the best of which are the older ones where the old timers are still strapped to a slot machine with a cig. supported by their upper lip and playing for free booze :eek:

Pending that I was able to skip out of Jersey, absofrigginloutely. I had an amazing time.

well that is a good question
 

First of All I love Stephanie lynn Nicks ! However I must concur that We were a little misled in regards to "Never before Seen concert event" at Caesers in the Showbiz magazine I read in my room suite at the Flamingo hotel ! Also the infamous Jim Ladd interview on the radio was instrumental in getting everyones hopes up for a stellar SHOW! LIghts Costumes Makeup video screens Etc etc ! Well if it was at Aladdin or House of Blues maybe I would have settled on a show so simply mounted however it was booked at Caesers Palace Coliseum ! So I am well aware that Stevie is all about the music but why not a backdrop that shows maybe one full video or perhaps footage we all can watch at the fantastic site THE INIMITABLE STEVIE NICKS! Flashing a projector with water bubbles screens and showing white horses run into the distance worries me did i come to see an 8th grade slide show on bird imagery during Edge of 17 i guess so ! All I wanted was to see Stevie's Face and a little RAZZLE DAZZLE ! How about some mystical scenery stevie could walk through as she is singing songs like the belladonna tree and moonlight backdrop back in the day....and the days go by Cry! is how i feel about the concert ...I was trying to forget that i just saw Enchanted part two with velcro patch slap on apron costume changes and black hitops at the yard sale down the street wear ......In fact enchanted box set photo album was more of a journey through the hits then Concert Visuals which is a crew management faux pas ........And why bring back Lori Nicks to avoid doing nightbird and bella donna ! I encourage all of you too watch video feeds on site i mentioned above where you can see interviews rare clips solid gold and Sat Nit live performances with sharon and lori ! HOwever Beauty and the Beast was simply amazing and ended the show on the right track !at least it was a full video behind the song ! there is somuch to say ! more later

I absolutely agree! It could have been so much more spectacular. But, when she said "2 months ago" that she'd come to see Celine and Elton and get ideas for the show, that made me think they just didn't have the time to put something huge together. But, if she thinks that the hours she referred to going through all the old videos and home movies and then just showing loops of her dancing is not going to be a let down, she's in cuckoo land!

It was a horribly expensive trip (2 nights at the Luxor!!), and my feet, legs, back are going to need time to recover. If there is a next time, and it's a better visual show, I'll make the trip - fly in, see it, get out asap.

Perhaps all these posts will filter back to her people and they'll spend more time and effort in future.

Absolutely! Any opportunity to see Stevie Nicks, lose the farm on the slot machines and eat fantastic food is time well spent to me! :thumbsup:

... and don't forget "All The Same", you and I are doing the merch and set design for her next Vegas run!

next time i go, and i pray that there are many 'next times,' i will stay at a cheaper hotel or split with more people (now that i've met a few of you). i really don't feel like i spent an immense amount of money on this, at least i don't feel like i spent too much? as i figure it, i've spent far more for much less.

the financially retarded person that i am tells me that i can do this twice a year, and i only hope that the opportunity presents itself so frequently.

:lol: Yeah, I'm feeling like, "no problem, I can swing it!" But when I really thought about what I spent it came to about $1000. I budgeted $100 a day for spending money and spent every dime. Vegas is expensive! I saved a butt load on the hotel though by sharing with 3 other fabulous ladies which I would also do again in a heartbeat. :wavey:

Pattie...
 

I spent a lot of money, but it was worth it and YES I'd go again.

I'm hoping she does another stint there - like, in the fall maybe. I'm going to California then, and Vegas isn't that far...

:)

I was disappointed there wasn't a little more variation in the setlist, but I'd go, based on the fabulous reviews from people. Also, I know, no matter what, I'd have an amazing time. I love Stevie too much. She could never disappoint me in concert.

I'd do it again for sure... This time I'd do more then one show though... But I agree with pretty much everyone... They need to spend a little cashola on the vids and the set design and hire a real designer. I think the short amount of time she had between agreeing to perform and performing caused the lack of use of the vid screen, [which by the way, I just read in the Vegas magazine from the hotel room], the Coliseum has the largest LED screen in North America at the back of the stage which Celine and Elton use. Celine obviously had a designer, and if anyone didn't know - David LaChappelle designed Eltons set-up (he's the guy that took the cover photo for The Dance, and also the colourfull, yet bizarre, Stevie photo where she's holding that umbrella... Anyway... If she could hire THAT guy to put something together, I could see her going back once or even twice a year... That would be (I think) really cool... And I'd definetly go back.

Interestingly, she put effort into the images used. I mean she had to buy the right to use B&B in her show and someone had to edit and format it. She also used the scenes from that Tom Cruise movie about the unicorns, which required the same. The glass looking faces were also photos of scultures we say in a shop next to the 40 foot tall David. So, she put effort into it. I just think that while it was cool, it could have been cooler. Of course, I think everything can always be cooler :laugh:

I think she put effort into it as well. My main problems were those floating columns :eek: and that animated dove. But vocally, she was so strong, I didn't mind so much.

When I first saw them coming down, I thought they were the ship pipes from Celine's Titanic set :eek: :laugh:

What do you mean Strandie? She put NO effort into this entire gig. :laugh:


I enjoyed the show and liked most of what she did on the screens. The set was fine imho. I would have loved Civil War Stand Back or something but that is my dream or fantasy and apparently not what Stevie wanted for her show.

I would in a heartbeat. No questions asked. ;)

Since I live in Vegas, I don't think I could stand not to go when she's in town.

I know - AND I will be the first to say I called her lame, crazy, and lazy when I found out the set list and before the reviews. As I have said before, I was flat out wrong, esp. referring to B&B from the opening night, esp. after 4:00 into it. What a woman. Again, I sobbed with pride and awe just like Suzanne Sugarbaker when she caught her fire baton after it hit the transformer showering the audience with sparks :eek:

I'd go back... especially after spending one of my Las Vegas days in bed, sick. :eek: I really didn't get to see the town... I feel like I deserve another day in Las Vegas, and another Nicks concert would be cool too!

Vegas isn't really my kind of town. I discovered after losing $20 in two minutes at roulette that gambling was not for me, and after that's been eliminated as entertainment, all that's left is the expensive shows and shopping.

I'd go back once a year to see Stevie if she changed things up for her shows, but I'd have to work to figure out what to do with my time in Vegas otherwise!

Lord Child - Roulette is SUCH a sucker game :laugh: 21 is the only game in town if you are out to win - and you better know the rules, which essentially are always assume the dealer has a card worth 10 (face or an actual 10) underneath and they will hit to a ten - you base your hits on that prmise, which is hit to 17 or let them bust :cool:

Has it been established that she used clips from Legend? I didn't know she had it in her budget to use clips from two films. :laugh:

It most def. was Legend, unless I saw it totally wrong. But, I LOVE that movie "ahhhh twas beauty who led beast to bay" :eek: - it was the running in the river scene with both unicorns. I wonder if she just called the owner of the rights of that movie and called in a favor. Maybe she knows Ridley Scott or some other person.

She'd have to call Universal to use it to my knowledge. In any case, I'll be able to tell when the DVD surfaces because I know that damned movie like the back of my hand. Drove my mother nuts with it as a child. :laugh: I wonder who owns the rights to Beauty and the Beast, though. I know that Criterion released it on DVD and it cost an arm and freaking leg to buy it, so I can imagine how much it cost to use clips if they own the rights. :shocked:

I know - I could swear it was the stream scenes though.

I think you're right, although it's been many years since I saw the film so I could be wrong. But if my memory serves me it's the same scene.

Maybe Haley knows something about this - or at least the process.
