Stevie was on fire this evening. She looked so happy. Smiles, and literal hopping onstage. No evidence of a hip problem at all. We are still in black dress mode, but it has been altered a little bit and she wore red boots during Sara and spiked heel black boots during the encores. LB wore a white shirt - SURPRISE
LB's guitar broke TWICE at teh beginning of SG. So, Mick got a tell a cute little story. It was funny. LB also did sit ups and then push ups on stage while waiting and Stevie looked down and said "I did not know you could do that" or maybe it was " . . . still do that"
At the end of the show, she thanked us for being patient with the tech glitches and said we were "all going to heaven for our patience" LOL
Red Rover was awesome. His guitar also broke for the beginning of Red Rover. LOL
BTW - the security guard in front of us was a militant bitch
We had a camera but she confiscated someone's camera so we were not risking her talking gldstwmn's brand knew digital camera. She was just doing her job, but come on. Everyone was taking pictures, just not in her section.
GDW was incredible this evening. The shawl is new but someone said she wore it in London?
She made lots of cool hand gestures through out the evening. She made eye contact with the front row and LB was his usual gregarious self.
Brett played Sara a little differently in that he altered the chord structure. It worked. I must say Sara was the be all and end all for me and gldstwmn. Seeing her singing at LB's mic with her 25 or so year younger self on the 50 foot screen behind her brought me and gldstwmn to tears.
All in all it was a great night. I would not have missed it for the world
