This is my review that I posted from the BN board. Thought I'd share with you guys.

Jacksonville Review!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey everyone! I just got home 15 mins ago and had to post.
I'm not going to go song by song...too tired. And it was fairly all the same as before. So just the highlights...

Pre-Show: Well since the show was 3 days before Stevie's birthday, I decided to buy a bouquet of flowers and then I thought I'll make a sign too. So I make a sign that said "Happy Birthday Stevie!" on one side then on the other I said "Bring Back Silver Springs!" I gather all my stuff, 2 cameras, flowers, sign and Rumours album (for possible signature).

7:00 pm: I get to my seat 4th row right in front of Lindsey's mic. The venue was an arena but not a big one, but big enough and intimate enough. I see Cory fixing up Stevie's mic. Then I see some roadie guy talking to some people in front of me. First question I ask him is if they are playing Silver Springs. No. Then I ask do you think they'll ever sing it again on this tour? No.

8:00 pm: I gather my stuff and make my way to the front of the stage beside Stevie's mic. And there was a small platform maybe 8 or 10 inches below the stage. So I setup camp there. Security was checking everyone's ticket cause only people in the first 5 rows were allowed to the front. Thank You Jesus for 4th row!

8:30: The crickets are out. Mick and John walk out first and btw kudos to John for losing so much weight. He looks great! Then Stevie and Lindsey walk out. You guys know the set list so....

Highlights: I did not see ____________ (you can fill in the blank )
Guess who was the Come girl?.....ME!!!! First time I've ever been called that in my life but I'll wear that name proud
Also during The Chain I looked at Lindsey's who I swear was looking at me so once again more Lindsey love. Besides Come, he also played I'm So Afraid to me, came over during Tusk and I played his guitar during Go Your Own Way. During that song he jumped down on that platform and I had my hand resting on his knee.
After Say Goodbye was over Lindsey was looking at Stevie and did a little pinky wave to her. Almost like he was trying to make her smile or something like that.
He kissed her hand after Landslide. She also gave a speech before LS that went something like this: We got into town rather late last night. So around 6 this morning I opened my curtains and saw the most beautiful sunrise I think I have ever seen. And I took about 10 photographs. So I'd like to dedicate this song to your beautiful sunrises and your beautiful city.
Stand Back ROCKED!!!!! She did a kick and twirls and shaken what her mama gave her!
At the end when Mick is introducing the band he was walking to Brett and Stevie was walking in the same direction with her head down and almost bumps into Mick. They look at each other and Stevie starts laughing and walks the other way.

About the sign.... Towards the end of the show a mother and her 4-yr-old daughter stood next to me and the little girl sat down on the platform. I broke off a flower from my bouquet and gave to the girl to try and give to Stevie. When Mick was doing his closing speech Stevie was standing nextto John and he noticed the little girl and pointed her out to Stevie. Then at the very end of the show I noticed my flowers had fallen behind the platform. But atleast I had my sign so I gave the little firl my sign to hold and Stevie came over and took her flower and my sign! Well when Mick was saying take care Stevie was standing next to him and the side that said Bring Back Silver Springs was facing the audience and she hadn't noticed it yet. Then when Mick finished he turned around and saw it and pointed at it and Stevie looked down and the expression on her face was hard to describe. She seemed a tad bit miffed or hmmmm...well maybe I should bring it back. But anyways she got my sign. That made my whole night!

Oh and when Lindsey was in front of me I looked for a cut and I did see a small cut above his left eyebrow. Hard to tell how big or how bad it was cause of the lights.

There was also a fight towards the end of the show right beside me. Luckily the band didn't see it all of them where upstage. If they had it would have probably put a damper on the rest of the show. I also took over 70 pictures. We'll get them posted hopefully by the end of the week.

That's about it for the evenings highlights. But I will say Jacksonville rocked harder than I thought it would. Amazing audience and the band really fed off that.

So pics will be up this weekend and if I think of anything else I'll post.
