Just got home from the show and I agree with GDW, it was incredible. I had an inkling it would be when Stevie screamed "let's get this party started" into the mic at the very beginning.
An all around great performance from everyone. Stevie's voice was solid and Lindsey's finger picking was amazing. I was grateful for every song, even the weathered warhorses. Perhaps the only miss for me was "Without You" which doesn't translate too well on stage in its current incarnation.
Highlights: Rhiannon, Tusk, SOTM, Sara, GDW, NGBA, Landslide, ISA, Say Goodbye. Aww heck pretty much all of them.
Landslide was dedicated to Anthony, a waiter who took good care of Stevie and her friends during a three week stay in Paris and made them feel like Frenchwomen. She mentioned having the hardest time hunting down a pair of Karl Lagerfeld boots, the very ones she was wearing that night I believe.
Speeches were long but surprisingly funny. When Stevie jumped from 1971 (?) to 2010 during the "Without You" intro, she added: "yes we're vampires, we've been here forever".
Silver Springs was back in the set.
Thank you and good night.
