OK, just my opinions here. I went Tues & Wed.
First of all. The minor disappointments I felt (return of the Reeboks, not too many costume changes, no Nightbird or Bella Donna like in my dreams) were blown far, far away as I watched the show. I feel nothing but lucky to have been able to see this show. No regrets - not a single one. Really.
*Dreams dance mix intro: We must get our hands on this. We simply must.
*Screen shows her walking from the "I Can't Wait" video & Stevie walks out in black layered skirt, Reeboks with black rouched legwarmers (like the ones she used to wear that were beige) Black beaded fitted top with sweetheart neckline.
*Enchanted: Very upbeat, lively, lost of tambo & dancing. Great "whoa-whoa-whoa I hope you make its" from Stevie. The photos of her on the screen were breathtaking. She twirled at the start of this on Wed.
*OTR: I am one of the people who loves this song, especially live. I have heard better versions, I have heard worse. I was satisfied. Lots of rain on the back screen. She did not go crazy on "isthereanyoneinthiswholewideworldthatcaneverreplaceme." But she did do a few "then take it away. Take it AWAY!"
*Dreams: A good solid rendition of this classic #1 hit from the 70s.
Again, the lighting on the screen was beautiful.
*SDMHA (I believe this was dome before OTR on Tues?): I usually prefer older versions, but she was really on for this one. VERY animated, lots of pointing, yelling "STOP!" dancing around.
*Goes in back, comes out in black flowy low-cut Rhiannon top. Same skirt?
*Rhiannon: piano intro, then rock version. It was similar to SYW shows, IMO. She was really pulling the mike back, leaning into it for "well your dreams unwind and your loves a state of mind..." I think Tues was just a "dream on, silly dreamer" but I could swear that Wed was "dream on, HEY, you silly, silly silly dreamer." I could be mistaken. I did not like the screen for this - weird statues & then those f*cking unicorns.
As if Stevie needs to give detractors more ammunition.
*Sorcerer: great screen, smoky, then fire, then kaliedoscope designs. The ending was awesome! She was way more into this than at the TISL show I saw. Whipping her dress & Rhiannon sleeves around, hands movements all over the place, powerful "wild eyed, tired, thirsty yeah, in my misery's"
To be con't
