I was just about to post that!!! This guy needs to seriously seek some help immediately and stop posting. He should also stop stalking Stevie fans Myspace pages (hint hint).
As for the show, I'm going to write this review. Now I will say this, my fandom is no longer what it used to be. Anyone who has been on these boards long enough will know that before I had no issues what-so-ever about traveling to see multiple Stevie shows. However the unchanging setlist was really getting to me. Last night, however, I actually left extremely 100% impressed and reinvigorated in my love for Stevie. As stated above, the setlist was basically the same as Biloxi...
Outside the Rain/Dreams
Stand Back
If Anyone falls
Crash
Rhiannon
Sorcerer
Face the Promise
Gold Dust Woman
Fall From Grace
Landslide
How Still My Love
Edge of Seventeen
Rock and Roll
HAEWAFY
Face the Promise rocked!!!! I was quite pessimistic about hearing a new cover in the set, but this one was great! Stevie was totally getting into it!
Some other tidbits...
Stevie complained and accused Waddy during the band intros of sabotaging the night by tangling her mic strands!! LMAO!! At some point during the night Stevie had tangled the strands all up in a bunch so she couldn't run her fingers through them. Every time she'd pick up the strands, up would follow this big old bunch of knotted strands! It was pretty funny and quite amusing how "annoyed" she was by it.
Im loving these new upper-register notes she seems to be trying to hit. The whole night I kept on looking at my friend and saying, "where in he hell did THAT note come from?!"
Overall it was a great night, and I also agree with Howard Cohen's review that this sets the bar high for FM 2009. I hope she delivers the way she delivered last night!
