Verizon Theatre, Grand Prairie TX -- 8/12/11
 

Apparently, Stevie called out some people in the front row for video taping her. Any other updates from tonight's show?

those bootleggers are always finding a way to sneak the cameras in there, always. My source said that you have to be careful and hide the camera well when filming in the front row!!

Stevie Nicks News

And Betty Buckley tweeted this: (yeah, she's the mom from Eight is Enough!)

At Stevie Nicks concert-4th row center! Ticket- bday gift from my wonderful asst. of 11 yrs, Cathy B.! Thank U so much, Cathy! Can't wait!

Jake is there - freaking out that his Row C seats are actually front row - I'm sure we'll get a full report from him later.

I have such mixed feelings about this, but primarily against Stevie's favor. I totally get how it could be distracting to have people at your feet recording your every move every night. And if she were to flub, it could possibly be exposed to thousands of people instantly. She can't even leave a venue or go to a restaurant without being recorded by multiple people either. That'd definitely get old.

On the other hand, Stevie has absolutely no problem using things like youtube to her advantage. We pretty much have youtube to credit for Secret Love's inclusion on In Your Dreams. She's used youtube to research outfits and hats for that Australian horse race. It really irks me how Stevie derides computers for the dissolution of society in one breath, and extolls the internet age's benefits in another. The internet & youtube can be SUCH a powerful & free publicity tool if you stop fighting it and use it to your advantage.

I Promote stevies materials!!! because of that people said you know what im going to buy her cd!! YAY GO SUPERFLEETWOODMAC

I knew it! Figures...just when I decide to go all the way to NY haha. Well I guess we'll see.

I can understand her and the distraction of recording and being filmed on tape. I'd be horrified if she were to call me out ever and would probably crawl inside my shoes if I were one of those people. :eek:

Jake texted me: "crap. Landslide is back. betting there's no leather n lace."

Ugh.
 

Stevie....LET.IT.DIE already. LOL

I'm so happy that Jake is front row! He's going to get his Stevie moment, I hope. :blob1:

Jake texted: "Just starting leather n lace now!"

My reply: "Hold your ground now for Edge."

In Your Dreams was dropped
 

Tweet said In your Dreams was dropped from Set for Landslide... :(

What The Wha?!
 

Took out In Your Dreams for Landslide!!??

:rolleyes::(:confused:

what?! i rather her drop Love Is for Landslide. In Your Dreams is fun for people and rocks whereas casual fans can't clap or dance to Love Is. Landslide is the sing along.

She'd better not drop "Ghosts are Gone," damn it...

As tired as I am of Landslide, I do enjoy the flashback film that goes with it. And yeah, it's a crowd pleaser, not a potty-break song.

I hope this is not the case for the Atlanta show. :mad:

I'm good as long as she keeps all other songs in the setlist. "In Your Dreams," in my opinion, was the most disposable of all the new songs. People are going to want to hear "Landslide," there's no getting around that -- I'm just glad she dropped "In Your Dreams" instead of "Annabel Lee" or something.




I think it will be. I think tonight's set list is going to stick for the most part...

Landslide video montage
 

Someone tweeted that there is unreleased footage of "I Can't Wait" video during Landslide montage in the background...not sure, I'll see in Cincy at my show!

Is she even using the screen backdrop on this tour?
Ghost are Gone and In Your Dreams need to stay in the set.

In a way I kinda enjoy a varying set list however Moonlight and Annabel Lee hopefully will be staples the entire tour. Only reason I'm flying to Atlanta is to see the new material live.

I agree. IYD had people dancing in the aisles.

Of the new songs - and I know I'll get flack for this - I think Annabel Lee is the least interesting. She put a famous poem to music. That's nice, but it's not exactly the height of her creative songwriting powers. Plus, it's a bit of a downer... the guy sleeps by his dead love's tomb every night. Can you say "messed up"? lol

ETA: A rumor was posted on Facebook that Don Henley might appear. Too bad that didn't happen - it would have been awesome!

Wow things change,Like I said .The setlist will change.The videotaping thing surprised me.I think its got to do about the anti-computer problem thing shes got.Already Youtube got the Red Rocks show on it.Plus Sturgis coming on it too.

Look at the photos on nickslive. Yes, she's using the backdrop screen.





*spoiler alert*







Are those flag- draped coffins? Wow...Soldier's Angel must be intense.

If any new song is dropped I would say Soldier's Angel cause Lindsey isn't there but i hope she keeps it.

Why doesn't she just add Landslide instead of dropping IYD. She's weird like that. She did 16 songs at the wiltern so i don't think 1 more would b a problem.

Good point about Soldier's Angel sans Lindsey. However, Stevie called it her "most sacred and revered song" so I doubt she'll drop it.

it seems like waddy is adding more guitar into Soldier's Angel that isn't on IYD. I'm not sure. i wonder if she's rehearsed the whole album and will bring more IYD songs in the set...like my second and third favorite songs : WSS & Italian Summer :)

That's what y'all get for saying she was tired of it! LOL!

Did she actually say that into the microphone and to the crowd? About it being rude? Wow....How embarrassing!

I think the reason she didn't just add Landslide...and she totally could have, it's a nice easy one to sing, is because of timing... The shows end at exactly 11pm... and I think there are restrictions on how late shows can go... and penalties if you go over. With the show so well timed out and rehearsed right from the get go, there's no wiggle room.

I never take any video at a concert, but I do have my camera up a lot. I decide to wait for a moment to click and I'm looking through the lens, finger on the button, waiting to snap. I'm not trying to film those people to put it up on Youtube, if that's what's got her so worried.

This makes me wonder . . . I keep thinking of when FM security came out from behind the barrier and told me to put my camera away and didn't say anything to any of the other 500 people with cameras. Maybe they thought I was filming. At any rate, if you don't have a flash going, she shouldn't let it distract her.

Just got back from the show. The ladies she called out totally deserved it. And yes she said it into the mic. I don't feel sorry for them cause they were obnoxious from the time they arrived in the middle of Michael Grimm's set.
One of them got up in front of Stevie's mic waving her hands during Secret Love so her friend could get a picture of her, I guess?! I can see how it would be very distracting. I wasn't paying attention to them enough to know if they were filming but I think Stevie is totally justified in asking them to stop. And If I was distracted in the next section, I can only imagine how it was for her. I have never seen Stevie angry like that and I have to admit, I kinda liked it. Don't mess with Stevie and her show!

The show was awesome but the crowd was pitiful. For Annabel Lee and Ghosts Are Gone, my friend and I who were in the front row :D were the only ones standing up in the front section AT ALL ! Everytime we looked back no one else was standing.. The crowd only stood for the "hits". I was disgusted that no one showed any appreciation for the new songs. I loved the smiles my friend and I got from Stevie and Waddy though who truly seemed to enjoy us dancing and singing :D
I truly hope no more of the new songs get dropped as the tour progresses for everyone who hasn't seen them live.. They were awesome!

I was able to get the setlist from a roadie and got a double hand grab from Stevie during the Edge walk. She also spoke to me when she grabbed my hands but I couldn't hear what she said :distress:
That almost made up for the crowd's lack of enthusiasm but there is really nothing more upsetting to me than seeing our girl sing her heart out with such passion performing those incredible new songs with zero praise from the crowd. I just don't get it. Why pay $250 to go see a concert just to sit all night especially during a rocker like Ghosts !?

I got busted at the Dallas Tom Petty concert when Stevie was on tour with them like that. The guy told me to turn off my flash and I did, but the the thousand other cameras going off around me ended up getting me yanked (literally) out of my seat and hauled off to the security command base. We get there, he hands me over to his supervisor who couldn't figure out why I was there. I had to go through all my pictures and show them there was no video (which there wasn't). I only had about 12 pics for the whole night at that point. God, I was pissed. I almost missed Stevie coming out.

Why pay $250 to go see a concert just to sit all night especially during a rocker like Ghosts !?

Because some people are idiots!

I have never had a good experience when it comes to Dallas shows. The crowd doesn't want to stand or they get drunk and obnoxious. TISL tour I had lit cigarettes thrown at me because my friends and I stood during Fall From Grace.

um...wow...
 

I hope the CWP show crowd is better tonight than the way you all are decribing:) :woohoo:

Me too! I'm so glad I decided to get tickets yesterday. I'm really starting to feel ashamed of the Dallas crowd tonight :distress:

Although I have said Landslide should come back and am glad that it did, I do not think it should have been at the expense of a new song, particularly the title track and name of the tour. She said she'd do anything to get these new songs heard and now she drops one already? Hmmm... In Your Dreams should definitely be the first encore with Landslide at the end or even Has Anyone Ever - either one but not Love Is. Love Is should be before Edge. She did a 16 song set at the Wiltern so Landslide should be back without sacrificing anything. Again, hmmm... Although if she were to add back an IYD track let is be New Orleans. Then I'm ok with her dropping IYD lolol
