is she as talkative for the Rod shows
 

One common theme we all mentioned for Stevie's solo shows was how shes been more playful and talkative then she has her whole career. Is she staying that way with an audience not entirely her own?

imho...
 

I thought she was definitely more talkative when I saw her at the Beacon Theater in NYC.. although I enjoyed last night, I felt like it was a tad rushed.. kind of like you have only so many minutes than you need to get off the stage for the ROD! jk.. sort of.

She did have a long speech before Soldier's Angel, but wasn't as talkative the rest of the show.. no band intro.. etc. a tad playful, but not like when she's totally solo..

I think the biggest plus for Stevie doing the Heart and Soul Tour is her exposure to a larger audience.. everyone around me, who weren't necessarily Stevie fans, loved her performance. The guy next to me asked if I knew who was playing first - Stevie or Rod - I assumed everyone knew the order.. the dude really got into Stevie's performance. It was very cool.
