Stevie said "Mick" again...
 

Just got back from Jones Beach and it was another terrific Stevie show... very different from the one in Philly a week ago. Must have been the weather... Manhattan was like a sweaty, swampy sauna today, but it was downright chilly (as usual!) down by Jones Beach. So Stevie was cloaked head-to-toe in scarves, gloves, jackets, etc. No "two birds of Rhiannon" sightings tonight. :lol: It's a shame because all of these layers were not flattering, especially on someone her height. She looked kind of like a vintage store mannequin at times. :laugh:

The startling thing was that the entire house became really quiet as Stevie stood in front of the mic while the piano intro to BATB played. Then, out of nowhere... "Mick." The piano stopped and then the song began... really bizarre. Anyway, you could hear a pin drop throughout most of the song... and then when it ended... thunderous applause and a standing ovation.

Other observations:

-She playfully "forced" Don into singing ALL of the verses to GDW! :eek: He started the song and she kept gesturing for him to continue singing while she slowly danced around.

-I touched Stevie again. I know... who HASN'T touched Stevie! :lol:

-Even "Dreams" was interesting tonight... she sang the melody more like the album version...

-There's a more relaxed vibe than last Friday's opener. More smiles, more twirls... I could swear she was twirling for like two minutes straight at the end of Eo17. I was worried she would get dizzy or something...

-Don gave Stevie a long big bear hug from behind... it was strange seeing such a display of affection from someone who does not appear to have human emotions. :lol:

Ohhh, can't wait to hear that "Mick" thing. As for:

Maybe she was trying to keep warm? :blob2:

I am dying for her to get here!

Jones Beach SUCKS!
I hate it there.. why do i keep going back??

The worst crowd in the history of concerts was attending the show there tonight... you know the same crowd that goes to EVERY show there... there was hardly any applause the whole night and everyone sat in their seat.. no clapping, no cheering... god i hate that place...

... oh yeah, but Stevie was fabulous :)

That's hella weird, about "Mick"!
Thanks for the review.
I've never touched Stevie.
That's cool that Don hugged from behind. Those are the best hugs. :cool:

i haven't touched her :(

MAn i have no idea where u were sitting but my whole section was up for most of the night and applauding as well. U must have gotten stuck with the ****ty section....

awww....:xoxo:
I've been very close, too, during SYW. it's like, she skipped my hand! And then, Lindsey skipped it, too! I was in between the "touch zone", but still! I was in front of the monitors, and the mics. Still, I'm starting to feel a bit cursed... :lol:

The Tortelli's from Mineola sitting next to me (okay, maybe that isn't their real name :lol: .) thought Stevie was going to open! :eek: Why, oh why are people like this allowed to have good seats at concerts... And after OTR I could hear the woman noddiing to her husband in her annoying Lawng Oyland accent, "Oh, thayat wuz a good segueway, good segueway."

I thought the audience (at least closer to the stage) was really into the show... It was the typical assemblage of middle aged home-dyed blondes, fags, their hags, Wicca chicks and hippies. :lol:

Hmmm...
 

with the quietness of the audience maybe a good recording of this show will appear :thumbsup:

Oh, I havent touched Stevie...But I sure would love to, Hehehehehehe :nod:

Ok, now I'm back on the *is she banging Mick* thing. :laugh: Why is she just randomly saying his name at awkward moments? It's like *accidentally* letting a man's name slip during sex. Sounds like Don is loosening up more and more with every show. Stevie brought it out in him, no doubt. No one can resist her charms.. :rolleyes:

Oh and I might be the only one who has not touched Stevie. :distress:

13th row, orchestra B :shrug:

That explains it i was in 4th row section A

:lol: :lol:
Like we didn't know that, Mr. "Stevie Porn" :lol:


*got any new ones?* :lol:

did u happen to turn around at all to look at the sleeping crowd behind you?? or just the 3 rows and Stevie in front of you? :wavey:

well, this was my 7th Stevie show this year and this crowd was the worst... even wednesday night's crowd in Mansfield where they were litterally giving away tickets to non-fans for free were more into the Stevie/Don show than these supposed "fans"... :rolleyes:

Yeah...
 

I got one, But I sure as hell not posting it...let's just say when it's cold the "2 Birds of Rhiannon" take flight, Hehehehe!!!!

Oh, man, and if you've been watching people post their pics, *Pattie* you must have plenty of new fodder!!! Did you see that boob shot in Pattie's thread?
I am truly humbled.... :lol: Those are two very magical birds, my friend!

*pm me* :laugh:

Both Mick and Billy Joel were at the show tonite.

:eek: :eek: :eek:
really? Nice! Whoa!

"You could be my prisoner...
 

Well you're not living in the real world..."

Yeah, but you got to meet some cool people ;)
Just like I did.
Thanks for helping to make up for some of the poopyheads I encountered in Long Island tonight! :wavey:

Love,
Gypsy

:lol: Yay 'typical assemblage'!
Yay for us middle aged home-dyed blondes, fags, their hags, Wicca chicks and hippies!

Excellent characterization. :lol: Count me in!

But have you touched the soul of someone?

Did the fear inside you make you turn & run?

:thumbsup: Score!

AND- they don't serve booooooozzee :mad: Last time I was there - thak gawk three lesbians were getting stoned upwind from me :laugh:

I would bet my Tango tourbook Mick was at the show. New York Show...Mick and Stevie are great friends...Stevie is very close to Lynn, Mick's wife and Godmother to his twins....I bet they came in for a visit. She says his name in OTR every single night....
I am sure BaTB was dedicated to Mick if he was at the show.




I hate Jones Beach because of the security.

I've never touched Stevie, either. She always seems to swoop over me. :(

I'm originally from Long Island and saw Stevie for the first time at Jones Beach- I don't remember it being bad, but of course we are talking like, 1985 here. ;)

UMMMMM ME??? LOL

Chris

First of all: Stevie was AMAZING last night, her voice has never sounded better and BATB brought tears to my eyes! And on the Stevie/Don duets she just blows him away, especially on Hotel California. (sorry, Don...) I am SO glad I made the trip form Europe to see her last night :-)

I was sitting right next to the aisle that was used for backstage access and Mick and Billy Joel walked past several times. During Edge Of Seventeen Mick was ushered to the stage so I was expecting him to make an appearance during the song, banging some kind of drum... ;-) But then after the song he was rushed back to where he was sitting without anything happening. Seemed a bit weird to me...

All in all it was a great show, my section all stood during the entire show, so I wasn't complaining. And she made me forget about the cold. I had to leave during Don's set (after Stevie left of course) to get some hot chocolate to try and get warm. I was even tempted to buy the horrible hooded sweater thing haha.

PS if anyone has recorded the show, please PM me because I would be very interested!

[QUOTE=lagringader&r]Ok, now I'm back on the *is she banging Mick* thing. :laugh: Why is she just randomly saying his name at awkward moments? /QUOTE]

Mick was at the show... He and Billy Joel were standing in the Mixing Booth or what ever you call it..

I haven't touched Stevie either :shrug:

Thanks for the review. I don't think I would have been very happy if Don sang all the verses to GDW. I much prefer Stevie singing it.

[QUOTE=MacMan]I didn't know he was at the show when I posted that. I just thought that was weird to randomly say his name. :nod:

I've counted at least five people (including me) in this thread who haven't touched Stevie, and this thread is a short one. I think you're really lucky if you have, but I would much rather have a conversation with her. I'm a silly dreamer and that's a dream of mine. :xoxo:
