So which will be dropped tonight: Moonlight or Annabel Lee? I'm sure one of those two are next on the chopping block.

Dreams22 · #3 08-23-2011, 08:22 PM

I'm hoping neither of them is dropped! lol...it's bad enough "In Your Dreams" was dropped. I'm seeing her in NJ next week and hoping nothing else gets cut. I really wanna hear Annabel Lee live

Good energy at tonight’s show. Setlist:

Stand Back
Secret Love
Dreams
Moonlight (A Vampire’s Dream)
Gold Dust Woman
Annabel Lee
Soldiers Angel
For What It’s Worth
Rhiannon
Landslide
Ghosts Are Gone
Leather and Lace
Edge of Seventeen
Love Is

“The clouds never expect it…” verse was cut from Edge of Seventeen, and security wasn’t allowing fans to come forward for the Edge walk.

Additionally, some funny tidbits from tonight:

Stevie forgot to actually name Sharon during the band introductions, which (after prompting from Lori and the crowd) made her blame her lapse on that it was "late in the set."

Stevie thanked the crowd, at two separate points, for attending a show with new songs. She stated she was "very proud of these new songs" and mentioned how redundant "greatest hits, after greatest hits, after great hits" shows are.

No Edge walk?!

Erin · #6 08-24-2011, 01:27 AM

There was an Edge walk, you just had to be in the pit. I can see why. The way it was set up it would have been dangerous to let anyone else rush in, although it sucked for those of us sitting ever so tantalizingly outside of it.

She sounded spectacular tonight. The best I've ever heard her sing at a show I've been at (I've been going to shows since 1998). I thought it was funny that she said thank you for standing during my new songs. I know she said standing because it stuck out to me since the women behind me were mad that I wouldn't sit down. I don't understand people who sit at rock concerts. She also talked once again about how Chicago is her second favorite city (what happened to first?). She has to say L.A. is first because she lives there, although she doesn't like it that much. She still wants to buy lakefront property here in Chicago. My neighborhood has lovely lakeviews, Stevie!

Unfortunately there were a lot of people sitting during the new songs, but I guess that's to be expected. She said she was bored doing her greatest hits tours (so were we Stevie), so she loved being able to do the new songs. The thing that bothered me the most were people screaming during her explanation of Soldier's Angel. Really people, be serious for a moment.

Anyway, I have to hand it to the security lady in my section. She was like 5 feet tall but wasn't taking crap from anyone. She stopped me and other people from filming (in my case it was Moonlight, sorry guys, I did get about 2 minutes but don't think it's worth posting),and she ran off every single person who tried to come closer. It was impressive.

Oh, I forgot about her telling about Chicago being her "second favorite" city!

Great photos, Erin. Thank you for sharing them.

Also, that little security lady was a force, wasn't she?! She wasn't taking any guff.

Sorry for the confusion. As Erin noted, yes, Stevie did the Edge walk; however, only the fans in the pit got to "group" for it. Several fans (not in the pit) tried to come up but were turned away by security.

FANTASTIC photos, Erin!

I was only able to get a few pictures as security was really tight where I was. I'm very thankful I have yours to look at -- YAY!!!

Is it just me, or is Stevie sporting two totally different hairstyles at this show? At first it is parted in the middle and has a body wave. Later the part is shifted to the side and her hair is straightened. I must admit I really liked the middle part 'do! Very wild looking.

jcalzaretta · #12 08-24-2011, 08:18 AM

It was a great show. I was in 12th row to the side. I don't understand why I can never get closer. So irritating. But it was an old crowd. I hate when people sit at concert and yell at those standing to sit. Then when you sit, they clap. If you want to sit, get balcony seats. Don't expect to sit and hog the close seats. The woman is 63 and she is standing the whole time - think you can too.

The crowd loved all the songs. I felt all songs got great applause. But no denying that anything pre 1981 were the favorites. Leather and Lace and Landslide probably the favorites followed closely by Rhiannon, Dreams and Gold Dust Woman.

I actually loved hearing the new songs but I can see why she continues to play some of the old songs. And it is nice hearing so many people sing along and enjoy themselves.

She did sound great.

Oh yeah - I did not care for the I Love You Stevie while she was introducing songs particularly Soldier's Angel. That story was touching and then there are the idiots.

Next month - Lindsey!

AnthonyMI · #13 08-24-2011, 09:24 AM

I was in section 203.

There was a family of morbidly obese people behind me cracking jokes and talking the whole time that I wanted to smack. In fact, two of them were sitting in seats I paid for but could not find someone to go with me. I should have alerted security to haul their fat asses away with that same device they lift Shamu out of the pool with. :P

Stevie DID sound good, Soldier's Angle is WAY better live then on the record.

StevieNicksfann · #14 08-24-2011, 10:00 AM

I was in sec 109 11th row and this one woman who I never saw throughout the whole concert is all of a sudden showed to her seat by an usher as if she just got to the concert and it was Edge that was playing lol. then she was so out of it, she screamed the whole song off-key. I'm like sister, did you come to hear Stevie or yourself?

Agreed on Soldier's Angel - that song is fully realized live and the power of it is not captured fully on cd. Love Is is also one that must be experienced live imho.

** Not true, I was to the left of Stevie and she came all of the way over to our side in front of the speakers they had set up................thus, even if you were not in the "pit" you could get close and shake her hand during the Edge walk.

As an aside, I noticed that there were a LOT of empty seats and I was Row 4 to the right of the Orchestra Pit, those of you in the back sections 209 etc could have easily moved up with no problem.

Stevie was great and I loved when she forgot Sharona's name or at least forgot to mention it after introducing her. She also repeated three times in succession how she did not want this to be a "greatest hits" tour......................and I for one was very glad that she mixed it up. Loved Love Is as the finale BUT still miss BATB.

Did anyone notice that Stevie didn't do a single "kick" last night??? Not may signature twirls either, cept for GDW??

The duet with her voice coach was awesome and he did a better Don Henley than Don does!!!
