I'm finally settled in and well rested to give you my take on the concert.
First off the big sign outside the venue that said NO Cameras, pfff please... They didn't even check my purse. I have never ever had my camera taken away from me at any concert and I've been to 15 different concerts. But I only took 4 pics and 2 videos cause my battery was low.
I had 8th row and Steph and Suzanne had 4th, so before the show started I went and sat with them. Well these 2 seats stayed empty until after Stevie finished her songs with Don, then they showed up and after about 10 mins he was like why is the seating messed up, someones not supposed to be here (I was mushed in between Steph and Suz). So that was my que to go back to my seat.
Oh well....
I must say I throughly enjoyed Don, but I don't throughly enjoy his fans. We had to compete for tickets with them first of all. So I never want a double bill again. One thing that really ticked me off and it may not have been just Don fans. But the drum intro for Stand Back starts, I immediately stand up with a few other people. Not until she comes out and sings that first note did anyone else acknowledge what song it was!
Also this lady sitting in front of us turned around and said I think those people are here for Stevie. What do you mean those people?! Also people that were on the floor leaving before the concert was finished! WTF??
Now about Stevie! My favorite song she did was Hotel CA. She sounded so amazing and was the cutest thing I had ever seen.
She did do the Stand Back kick according to Steph and Suz but somehow I missed it.
During Edge it was Stevie that messed up, she came in on the wrong part.
Also other people commented how she seemed to be out of it a little. Very mechanical during the hand shakes, her eyes were half shut most of the time. But who knows she still kicked ass.
Also I tried to get up to the stage from both ends of my aisle but no luck. So I stood on the far right side of the aisle, directly in front of Stevie's mic. And if she can see 8 rows up right in front of her then we had some major eye contact. If she could see me I was her to know that I was enjoying the show and I think she is the ****.
When she introduced Carlos, she said something to the effect of, "this man has been by my side to hold me up when I couldn't stand" Very touching.
Then when she introduced Waddy she said " we have been together since 1971....can't remember what she said after that but then in a really low, sexy voice she said "You remember".
Overall fantastic show, but now I can't wait just to have Stevie to look forward to. And I'll have the pics up soon and if some can host my videos I would appreciate it. One is 30 secs. the other 1 min and 30 secs.
