AWESOME cowboy hat pic Merf!!!
altho i see this thread has already moved north.... i just had to jump in and say that it was a HOT night in Charlotte for sure... Lindsey was dripping wet by the second song, but Stevie stayed cool as a cucumber all night.. i swear i never saw the lady sweat! could have been the industrial fan vents she had blowing on her mic all night... those ribbons do look nice in a breeze... and the breeze felt soooooooooo good! she seemed a little tired when she was out of the spotlight, but she is one helluva performer when the lights are on her.. the lady has class... and man can she spin! Stevie gives everything she can every night... we are blessed by her love for all of us... blessed by her love of the music that keeps her coming back night after night to sing her heart out no matter what the consequences... i never thought i would hear Sara again... but 20-something years later, here she is... singing it to a whole new group of fans... i have not been following them around like i used to, but the vibe i got from her and Lindsey was in no way negative... they smiled at each other... leaned on eachother... danced together in circles for a long time during Tusk.. holding eachother close despite Lindsey's sweat-soaked shirt... the security in Charlotte was unbelieveably cool... cameras were everywhere and they let us go crazy! lots of people standing at the stage before the show and we stayed there all night! we had such an awesome time!
it was crowded, but that's part of the fun! sharing the music with other people who love it as much as we do! the only bummer was the excess of alcohol and the loud people drinking it! i did have one crazy observation....
since i was in a non-monitor spot at Stevie's feet. people wanted to put stuff on the stage over my head ALL nite and OMFG... for the last 3 songs this chick kept yelling in my ear she wanted to get the roses off stevie's mic and stick them in her panties ... would we please help her.. like WTF????
finally i told her.. for crissakes PLEASE wait till after the show. she said "oh, i never thought of that, i'm young" and shut up... and then... after Mick's speech... when the crew came out to take the equipment away... did anyone else see this girl???? in jeans and a T-shirt.. i guess they thought she was with the crew.. OMFG... she climbed ON the stage, she stood in front of Stevie's mic and grabbed the roses... petals went flying everywhere.... she proceeded to start stuffing them down her pants!
then she walked stage right... no one onstage stopped/saw her... people in the front started yelling RIBBONS!!! (not me LMFAO!!!) so she came back to center stage, and started to try and untie stuff from Stevie's mic.. at that point, one of the roadies whipped the mic away from her... and she continued to stand there.. unfreakin believable!!!!!
have fun in Raleigh!! it's going to be another HOT one!
