HOUSTON Reviews
 

Post your reviews here.

I need to be brief; I'm leaving for Austin in a few hours.

As always, my thoughts are random.

- My sixth show of the tour, and I was in the front row by Stevie's stand! My arms were resting on the stage. :blob2: I got a wink from her (but no handshake.)
- I played Lindsey's guitar!
- I saw Christy, Joanne (met in person for the first time), and Livia and met a few lurkers. Christy had a poster & a great photo journal for Lindsey, & he took them at the end.(And Gldstwmn, Arlene from The Chain & last year's Dallas car ride asked me to tell you hello. Hello.)
- I stared at Stevie's spiked heel boots and legwarmers during the encores.
- During Landslide, Stevie was blown away by the crowd's singing. She kepts stopping to laugh at the end and gushed her appreciation with compliments.
And Lindsey thought it was hilarious thatr she dedicated the song to Texans since we know how to have fun.
- During the bows at the end of the set Stevie said something to Lindsey & he started dancing some kind of hoe-down with one leg. His hippy-dippy dance at the start of Stand Back was interesting.
- I prefer Stevie without the bangs in her hair, but her Two Birds Of Rhiannon were soaring tonight. My compliments to whatever pushed them up and over the top of her dress. :thumbsup: All the clothes were much better than those of the earlier legs.
- Stand Back is still my favorite. Sorry, but Red Rover didn't wow me, but I'm glad that so many Lindsey fans got to see it.
- People near me shouted for Silver Springs. Stevie definitely heard.
- Carlos Rios was smiling at me every time I tried to make out his playing. Guitars intrigue me.
- Early in the set Leelee sat under a table on her mother's lap next to Jana. Kristen lifted Leelee's hands to wave to Lindsey when he would turn, but I don't think he saw. Later it was just Leelee. Cute kid. She was in these huge headphones whenever I saw her there.
- The Woodlands was pretty packed. I paid a lot for the tickets, and six people near me - two in each of the first three rows at the middle aisle - won their seats from the classic rock station. A local Ledgie lurker named Terri asked Christy & me if we were Ledgies, introduced herself, and said that twenty minutes earlier she had gone up to the box office window to ask for whatever the best seats left were. She got front row of the pit (but to the side). She apologized about five times total during the night, but there was no need. Glad a true fan got them.
- There was a woman in the front row way down to the right who looked just like Susan Sarandon. A bunch of us kept ogling her. I still think it might have been. :shrug:
- There was a loud, drunk smoker next to me. She kept putting out her cigs on the cables at our feet as her husband fetched her more beer. I was hoping Stevie would scold her. Christy had a similarly charming neighbor, minus the smoke.
- Mick's spit and sweat flew near me during the solo, and Lindsey's sweat dropped all around us earlier.

I will add more about the songs (and whatever I forgot) when I can. A great night!

Cool...
 

She did the exact same thing in OKC last year because the crowding singing along (Around 15,500) was absolutely deafening, Even moreso during "Silver Springs".

How could ya not notice the Two Birds Of Rhiannon :laugh: :nod: :laugh:

Glad ya had a great time at the show...Hope the other Ledgies post their reviews today (I am at home today because I feel like crap).

LMAO - ALL I could think of was the line from "Gypsy" - "Hold Ya hay and Hallelujah - Momma's gonna Show it to YA - Ba da da da da - da da da da - Boom Boom" :eek: :woohoo: :] :] :]

Should have said hello to Susan! But I guess that you weren't Desperately Seeking her... ;)

Thanks for the review, Jake. Fun time! And Stevie interaction to boot - the holy grail!

:lol: :lol: :lol: Great review. I can hardly wait to see them next week.

For some reason, I have a hard time believing Susan would see the Mac in Texas, of all places. :laugh: :lol:

Glad to hear that you had a good time, Jake!!!!!!!!!!

Well, she was in Houston, Texas in February at some fundraiser for the Death Penalty. So . . . .

I mis-read for a sec & thought you meant they did Silver Springs in Dallas. I'd have been pissed!
Feel better.

- Jake

I efinitely need sleep. I really thought you meant the Mac song! I was thinking Whoa, all this time I thought she was singing only "La La La..." :lol:

- Jake

No, the holy grail would be the two birds taking flight & then percing on my hands. :cool: :lol:

- Jake

Thanks!

- Jake

I doubt is was "for!" :shocked:

- Jake

And people near me kept saying she was in a wig. Does Susan wear wigs? The woman did have the Garfield the Cat eyes, so I think she might have been Susan. :)

- Jake

LOL - well in general it was, but clearly the prep. "about" would have been better :laugh:

And I'll add that when I came over to Christy she was on her cell. I had called her name & she apologized for not responding at first. I said "Do you know who I am?" and went to hug her before she was sure who I was. I think I scared her. :lol: We met once in Dallas last year, but my hair is much longer, plus I was in sunglasses, so she thought I might be Jake, but I might be some nutcase stranger. ("Better the devil that I know...")
