Lindsey was in Vegas??

[Highwayman]

Lindsey wasn't there tonight (Friday), but her mother was there. She was sitting in the sound booth on the floor. Cute lady.

Unicorns indeed! And running away from the camera. Visions of horses behinds running in slow motion... Lovely... And the seizure-inducing, out of rhythm strobe effect during Stand Back...

I was all psyched to hear Still of the Night, but it just flopped. The highlight was at the end of the show -- Beauty and the Beast! Wow, did she nail it or what?!?!? But then again, the movie was way too distracting. I would've rather had close ups of her singing up there to see the motion (and work!) she was pouring into the song. Not to mention the "We love you Stevie!" yelling idiots with the responding, "Shut up!" and "We love you too!" idiots as the song was beginning. Just what every concert should have, screaming idiots answering screaming idiots.

I don't think rock and roll translates well to Vegas casino arenas. This is great now and then, but if she had a running gig, I don't think it would last. Most people in my area were ready to go after EO17. Several asked, "Is it over?" And applause was not thunderous or lasting.

Good show, but typical fare...

Thats ashame...and did you say that Lindsey's Mum was there? Because I think that is sooo cool, I wonder if the rest of all the family's are there? Has anyone seen or heard of Mick or John? I am guessing Mick would be there at some stage...but I doubt John would be.

There would be no way to know who was there on Friday night...how does anyone know who was backstage, sidestage or in boxes at the back of the venue? Maybe someone didn't SEE Mick, or Jess or Lindsey but who knows if they were there.
I enjoyed HSML and thought she nailed it on Wednesday night...Tuesday she was a bit nervous. When she walked out in time to that movie on BaTB..it was perfect and in no way detracted from the song...it ADDED to the overall effect..imo. Girl tries new things and her fans say they flop...girl does same ole things and her fans bitch and moan. I know this is a place where everyone can express their opinions, fine, no need to remind me of that but there is such a pattern of this with her "fans".

I do agree...Stevie is more of a rock and roller than a Vegas residency gig. The high rollers do not "get her" and her big time fans won't be bullied by the high rollers. Caesars is only interested in pleasing the high rollers anyway so I doubt she will be back.

Someone on Mick's board said she talked to Cory and Cory said that Lindsey was not at the show on Tuesday.

Forget Lindsey, I heard (aka saw thru my binoculars from the mezz) that golden braid stepped up to Stevie and gave her a hug and kiss on the cheek! I guess shaking hands during Edge just isn't enough for some people. Nice Job!

I don't think it really flopped on Fri. But it was the super greatest on wednesday night. I can't stop thinking about it, she was so sassy, shaking her little hips, wagging her finger. It was definitely a highlight for me. And I mean, VERY Sassy on Wed!
Yeah, she dedicated Landslide to her mom on Fri. I saw her mom and Chris while I was walking out on Fri and spoke to her briefly. It was funny, when Stevie was dedicating it too her, she said her mom had already won fifty dollars on slots that night. Very cute.

YAY! You met her mom! That's so cool. Did you direct her to "our" slot machines?

I didn't think the movie was too distracting at all.. in the very beginning of Beauty And The Beast, when the woman from the film is running in slow motion while at the same time Stevie slowly walks to the front of the stage, gave me goosebumps.. i would change absolutely NOTHING about that performance, as it was in my opinion, the best performance of the show..

[MacMan]

I agree... I thought BATB was the perfect combination of use of the big screen with film footage and the song... Very well done...

[xxxmx]

from my mezz seat, i have BATB video that shows the whole stage/screen. stevie looks like a tiny white bug squished on the footage, but you can see everything on the screen. quite cool. i am still bleeding over the fact that i didn't bring the camera for tuesday's show when i was standing at her feet and the crowd was quiet. thankfully, someone did get that shot for wednesday's.

Lindsey's mother passed. She was not there.

Stevie's mother was there on Friday. Jessica was not there until Saturday. As for LB...I heard a lot of people mention seeing him Tuesday including two men who didn't look like the average Stevie fans. I know for a fact Mick was there last night because he sat right across the aisle from me. I was on the aisle seat and his wife was across the aisle from me on the end with one babe on her lap. Mick was next to her with the other little girl on his lap. Stevie said Mick's name at the beginning of BATB and also said that was for Ruby and Tessa at the end of the song.

I talked to a couple of fans after the show on Saturday and they said they talked to Cory Buckingham and she said Lindsey was absolutely not there. Do you think she was just saying that to throw fans off or was he really not there? I know you told me that you overheard someone on a walkie-talkie saying that Lindsey Buckingham was on an elevator.
