excuse this for being all random, i'm still grinning like an idiot.
just a few things i think were note worthy.
firstly, i think Stevie is sick. She sounds like she has a cold, well it sounded like it to me when she was talking...huskier than usual
she was definitely hitting a few high notes she doesn't normally but she also cracked one or 2 on Storms...but i like imperfections. that's why i go to concerts. And Stevie is always flawless to me.
that being said, i am a Stevie fan primarily. have only started an interest in Lindsey over the past 2 years or so, but WOAH i was just blown away by him. he was really working the crowd and was just so pumped and full of energy. I dont know how many redbulls he drinks, he's freaking CRAZY...but SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sexy
Someone's talked here about Stevie's tambo being de-rattled? so she can bang it around all she wants to the sounds of silence? er NO...i think it was on GYOW or something towards the end and you can definitely hear her rattling the tambo totally IN TIME with the drums, right in front of the mic. I was actually surprised to hear her tambo at all, normally i dont notice it.
The gypsy intro...I have to say, i think the audience was silent here because they were LISTENING to the story. it's not that they weren't impressed or anything. Stevie seemed like she talked forever...she talked for like 3 minutes haha she's so cute. I recorded it, my bro will have to cut it for me if anyone wants to hear it.
And her getting liberated/Deliberated confused omg that was the funniest thing EVER...even funnier when just the other day i was watching that clip Caitlin posted from the TimeSpace tour with the band intros and Stevie didn't know her left from her right haha that's all i could think of. She laughs at herself, that's even funnier
SnL seem much more in sync and ... i don't know, just better together on this tour than SYW. I REALLY like Lindsey singing on Stevie's songs, especially Sara, his vocal is more prominent, and the "Baby I would go anywhere, anywhere, anywhere..." i think is my new fave line. They sing to each other nicer. It's hard to explain. LOVE lindsey's "actions" to her songs too, especially in GDW
Song Highlights
NGBA...
omg this is the sexiest thing ever with their whispering...not generally one of my fave songs. but last night changed that
GDW - the audience ate this one up. Stevie's pre shadow "stagger" ... and wotever she's adlibbing ... brilliant.
Storms - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah high notes. cracked notes, it was beautiful.
Go Insane - i like the song on the record, but live...i like it raw
Landslide - i dislike this song. but live OMG! everyone singing ALL the words... At a Stevie show it's good, but at a Mac show.... CHILLS
SARA - okay...i have a soft spot for this coz of the SnL squee factor. so i kinda wasn't concentrating towards the end, and I swear...it was like the whole audience were ledgies and they all knew what was coming coz it was like everyone sat up a bit straighter and were more attentive when she walked over to him
oh how i'd love to be that guitar. i know there's all the staged-act convos about SYW and this tour, but that hug seems pretty genuine and they're both so smiley afterwards. my lil heart just 'sploded.
Though i did really like his blowing her a kiss too...i forget if that was Sara or another song, theyre so silly!
something totally random, at breakfast at my hotel yesterday morning, this lady was on the phone talking to someone about the concert and how UNREAL it was and how she'd pay 1000s of $$ to go see it again. This morning at breakfast, the table beside me was talking about last night's show and rambling off their Mac facts to each other lol "and yes, Stevie is still blonde" lol WTF....at the train station people were talking about it. Waiting to go home at the airport, this guy was on the phone talking about the show too..everyone is just raving about it. makes me so proud.
We stayed around til just before midnight waiting for the band to leave. it was pretty eerie being out under the full moon and crazy people singing Dreams REALLY REALLY loud in the dark
but waves we did get. Stevie is super cute in her lil sunnies and big, ominous car. the dude beside me thought it was hilarious that Stevie is so tiny and she gets the GIANT car...well deserved i would say. oooh yeah and during Mick's introductions, he said he, Linds and John all know to behave around the "lady" of the band, coz she knows all their dirt.....bwaaaaaaaaah hahahaha does he always say that? coz that was priceless.
pissed about the cameras. security were bastards.
