I think it was for the big screen though. All shows are filmed for that purpose.

The pictures of the lovely Stevie ( I do think she is ageless) the pictures are so cool!! She is such a beautiful performer and I hope and pray that I get a chance to see her new set somewhere, thanks again to all the great fans that post!! Don't break the chain!

It gave me great pleasure to wave to the guards and point to her and watch them pounce on her.

You can see what it was like halfway thru the end of this video.

Wow what a melee.

But at the end I seriously got chills...with the wind and the hair blowing and the dress and ribbons...wow! Awesomeness

For the most part people are calm and Stevie loves the interaction with the fans so I dont know about cutting it. You get nuts for sure, but then again when I walk around Manhattan I encounter more nuts and drunks than I have ever encountered at a Stevie show.

Terrible...I'd be out for blood I'm sorry that happened Dani.

I know when I finally got my chance in Vegas, nothing was stopping me, but I was in the section allowed. In Palm Springs the night before we tried to get down but nothing doing, security wouldn't let us in. I wasn't about to start pushing and shoving anyone. People are idiots, especially when they've been drinking.

Your reaction to only "briefly" touching her comes off a bit...entitled?

It's too bad there isn't a way to identify people who haven't gotten the opportunity to get a handshake during the Edge walk. Not being specific, but I've always thought that if you've been lucky enough to experience it a time or two you should let other people get the chance. Again though, I guess there isn't a way to separate the haves from the have nots. Also aside from the fans pushing and shoving to get up to the stage for the Edge walk, you get people who don't seem to want to let her go once they get a hold of her. It's not a meet and greet people, let her do her thing and others have a chance.

It's okay -- I've shaken her hand three other times during Edge walks, but this walk was special for a few reasons. For one, she was literally hugging people because she was on level ground with the audience. Two, I met her five days before so she probably would've recognized me. Oh well... that stolen opportunity definitely hurts but I have more than my fair share to be thankful for!

Now that I have "flown down from the mountain city," I can finally put this dizzying week/end into perspective. The trip was epic for all sorts of reasons, but Red Rocks was indeed the main course of my five-course (veggie) meal.

First of all, converging on Red Rocks was, as Stevie would say herself, a "happening." It becomes as much about the experience of being there in that mythical/magical setting and the camaraderie of the shared experience as the lady, her music and her aura. For a few moments on August 9, 2011, the world was a slightly less lonesome place.

Secondly, what can I say about everyone who came out to hang? Anna, Dani, Grace, Liam, Jannie, Christopher, Shawn... and everyone else... it was so much f***ing fun! I feel lucky to know you all. Thanks for helping to make this one of my most fun trips ever (altitude sickness notwithstanding).

But one thing I need to get off my chest... What the fork was up with the so-called "handicapped" front row section? Yes, there were a handful of people who visibly appeared to have major physical impairment, and I feel tremendously grateful that they were able to enjoy the show up front. But what of the rest of the 95% of the bozos up there dancing around, drinking and acting like total douche nozzles? Handicapped? Really? Last time I checked, bad plastic surgery is not a physical handicap! You know who you are!

Otherwise, I have little to add to what has already been said. Was this Stevie's best concert ever? Probably not. But was it the most special and magical? Hmmm... it's definitely up there. There is something to be said about looking out at the crowd and having flashbacks to a video I grew up watching. Those were the very same sandstone rocks of my post-adolescent dreams.

Oh, and a few of my better shots. Still trying to figure out how to use the new camera... videos to come hopefully soon.






Christopher, this one's for you :

[daniellaaarisen]

Ed, how the hell do I have nearly as many posts as you?!

Anyway, love what you wrote and I love you. I'm so glad you had as good of a time as I did -- definitely one of the best Stevie experiences ever (behind the Wiltern, of course) and you've been with me through both!

There was a lot of handicapped. I was in 2nd row 2 seats from the rope off so glad i didnt go beyond it, but the 95% of the bozos that were up there paid for their seats and had every right to dance around, drink and act like total douche nozzles....after paying for the plastic surgery.

Nice shots by the way!
