I was at the show last night as well. I was in the first row, in front of Lori and Sharon. Stevie looked and sounded incredible. I had such a good time at the show and managed to take over 200 pictures and a few videos (including the Edge walk). I have no idea how to post photos on here--can someone give me directions? A lot of my photos came out dark, because of the lighting on stage and my side view, but they are very clear.
Security was crazy. I didn't personally have a bad experience with them, but what did annoy me was the fact that they were walking back and forth ALL night, every 30 seconds, right in front of the stage. They were tall and big and obstructed our view constantly. They were talking loudly and were very rude and inconsiderate, not caring that they were standing in front of people trying to WATCH the concert.
The Edge walk was crazy! My friends and I got up to the corner of the stage as soon as the drum solo started and security was literally linking their arms together to hold back the crowd in the aisle behind us. This was my fourth "Edge Walk," and I've never seen fans SO pushy before at a Stevie Nicks concert. One of my friends was in a wheelchair, and right when Stevie got to us, two people came out of nowhere behind us and pushed so hard to get to Stevie that my friend nearly slammed into the stage. I was so pissed! I pushed back and pointed to her, like "HELLO?!!!" So rude. I personally wasn't concerned about "touching" Stevie, I just wanted my friends to have a chance. Wow. That's all I can say! If "fans" are going to be that aggressive at shows, Stevie needs to re-think parts of the walk. Those pushy fans are going to ruin it for those that are not pushy and wait their turn.
Anyway, all-in-all, we had a pretty good experience. I don't know that I'd want to go back there for a show, as the stage was too small for the way they had the seats set up, but I've definitely had worse experiences this summer at shows. I can't wait to see Stevie next year on her tour!
Oh, and as we were leaving there was a HUGE line of fans that had meet-and-greet tickets. Where the hell did people buy those? I would have given up some of my concerts this summer to buy that! I wish I would have known about it earlier. Did anyone meet Stevie after the show with this pass/ticket?
