Thumbs up Last night was sweet!

I really enjoyed last nights show. I had a wonderful time and danced so hard. IMO, Stevie sounded more energetic than she did on Friday night in LA. She gave the crowd a warm welcome and IMO she put more uummpphh into her singing. But, being my second show, I also noticed a lot of the same things being said, movements, while I know they will tell the same stories behind their songs, it did seem kind of scripted in a way. How I noticed this was interesting - I noticed my photos from Friday night coming alive in front of my face. During SYW, Im all "hey I have that photo!" same stuff, same movements you know? Lindsey, as usual, was the man. He seems so freaking energetic this tour its INFECTIOUS!!!!!! Come was amazing. Being a bit further back this time, I did notice more about the overall show. I enjoyed more of the images they had flashing on the screens behind them. LOL I even noticed my avatar was on the screen during "Gypsy" and Im all "Hey, there I am". I kind of wondered why they put that other percussionsit down below. Everyone else is up higher except that one guy. Felt kind of bad for him. I mean you dont have to have him as high as Mick or Taku, but not all the way down below either. I noticed between songs when Stevie would go in the back, she would be taken down a hydrolic lift of some sort between the back of the backdrop. She would then come up the stairs like the others. Stevie lit the crowd on FIRE with STAND BACK. Man I tell ya she got WAY into it. She did "silly dreamer" on Rhiannon again, just cranking it out near the end going OFF IMO. More than Friday. She gave a lot of ummpphh and her voice even cracked a bit on Silver Springs once, likely due to her just going all out. She dedicated Landslide to all of us, cause we are her HOMETOWN! Beautiful Child, once more, made me cry so. Stevie, thank you so much for doing this song. I went up front to take some photos for a bit, but didnt take as many as before. Metal detectors prevented me from getting my DAT in, but that's ok. Im sure someone else managed somehow. There's 25th row up... Im contemplating going tonight! They had a lot of tickets being sold in the lot, pre show. Below face. Empty seats were here and there, but generally it was full. 1/2 the crowd it seems took off before Goodbye Baby was done. Which, was so lovely to hear again. The drum solo was great as usual, I did notice Mick said the same stuff / same grunts, lol. But it was enjoyable. Mr. McVie of course dropped those bass bombs on my ears I love so well. I love during THE CHAIN where he just gets down into it. That's it for now!!! Wish some of you were there with me!
