I went to the show at the Pond last night and had to be here at work at 5:45am......feeling it today..... well worth it and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.....

here is my review (posted everywhere):

Anaheim -Arrowhead Pond 07/16/03

The Chain
(from the opening beats to the first notes from LB - magical and hairraising!! -the harmonies were great!)

Dreams
(simply magic again, one of my all time fave songs by ANYONE and this was a great performance)

Eyes of the World
Peacekeeper
(new ones for me.... must get the new album this weekend)

Second Hand News
(great song, SN and LB singing to each other, def an old fave)

Say You Will
(great song....must get the new album before the weekend)

Never Going Back Again
(LB shined on this one, a definite highlight -one of many)

Rhiannon
(when this started their seemed to be a mass reaction all at once.... beautiful....another of my all time faves)

Come
(another new one? -great nonetheless)

Gypsy
(what can I say -AMAZING)

Big Love
(this, probably next to the experience of The Chain was my personal highlight of the entire show.... LB is SO UNDERRATED...there is so much emotion in this song and if you cannot feel it, even in the studio version (although, LB doing the solo live is better) I don't know what to tell ya.)

Landslide
(another fantastic performance, following Big Love it was a lot to take in.....)

Say Goodbye
(I didn't want to!)

What's the World Coming To
Beautiful Child
(both great -as was the entire show)

Gold Dust Woman
(another AMAZING performance, great stage effects too, it's amazing the reaction SN gets when she does her dance)

I'm So Afraid
Silver Springs
(great performance -heartfelt)

Tusk
(LB and MF went all out on this one!)

Stand Back
(this was a surprise! wonder if this would have been allowed if CM was there? hmmmmm)

Go Your Own Way
(the opening notes very reminicent of The Chain experience)

World Turning (Mick's drum solo)
(what can you say about MF -he's the master!)

Don't Stop (Stevie's singing Christine's part)
(Christine who? LOL)

Goodbye Baby
(I had to miss this one -had to be at work way to early.

all in all one of the BEST shows I've seen! I wish I could see more of this tour.... I had seen SN at the AZ Heart Institute Benefit in Phoenix on 9/23/00 and was completely blown away -LB gave a stellar performance (again) and the duet of Leather & Lace with Don Henley was unbelievable....

FM rocked the Pond!!!

nuff' said.
