the moment you flipped out most during a stevie performance

[lbelle1214]

The first time was when I saw her sing Rhiannon live in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl with FM in 1978.

The last was the first night in Vegas during Beauty and the Beast on the line "I've changed....." holding that note, with her hands in the air, shaking as if it took every ounce of energy and emotion in her body.

Same with me, only it was 1983. I think that was my biggest jaw-dropping moment at SN solo shows

Hahaha - I've been guilty of that, too.

I always try during SN shows or FM to actually stop and make sure I savour the moments of hearing my favourite lines - on the SYW tour, it was "Too trusting, yes. But then, women usually are..." I never thought I'd hear that live.

Also, in Detroit last year, actually stopping and saying to myself, Stevie is standing no more than one FOOT away from me! I could reach out and touch her. (Or her me - and then, she did)

And finally, I also got shivers in June on the Two Voices tour, when Stevie came out during Hotel California, and the place went NUTS!

Mine has to be 1998 at Greatwoods for the Enchanted Tour. She was hot hot hot...however 7 years later at the same venue...same seats even...I had more chills at that show than any other show...from the moment she walked out for Hotel California...to the major spins during Stand Back...I was just blown away!!

I couldn't believe how many turns she did in Philly 6/3 - she was so "on" that night, and the high kick too. She was on fire at Nissan too. But, when I shook her hand at Nissan 15 days ago, I think that did it.

97...Atlantic City. Lindsey singing the end of Silver Springs. I thought I died and went to heaven.
Er, but it was actually quite sad too...but ya know his voice...is pretty sweet.

Standback, I went nuts every time it's done live . Also I was at the 1989 OSOTM tour at 09/08/89 Otherside of the Mirror Tour - Lake Compounce Bristol CT show went told the security to leave my F---ing people alone.The crowd went totally wild . I went crazy on that one, I was shocked hearing that. then later she appoligized to security for saying that.

i die a little every time i listen to the crap bootleg of that show, i can only imagine what that must've been like in front of your face...

The Summit in Houston, TX, September 1983:

The lights go down, the bass drum kicks in (BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...), and Stevie twirls to center stage bathed in blue & purple light.

It was my first-ever concert (by anyone), and the song I was most excited to hear was "Gold Dust Woman". Plus, Hurricane Alicia had hit our area of Texas about a month earlier. I distinctly remember praying in the middle of the storm (about 4:00 in the morning, just after the power had finally gone out): "Dear God, please let me survive this -- I'm seeing Stevie in a month!!!"

The first time I saw her live - Mirage tour, 10/31/82. She walked onstage wearing a witch's hat, you've all seen the pics...her performance was mesmerizing, I couldn't take my eyes off of her...

GDW in Japan on the Rumours tour! WOW!

Is this pic online anywhere? The only time I've ever seen it is in a Univ. of Texas yearbook from that year. A friend of mine had the book, and you have no idea the energy that was required to resist the temptation to cut the pic out when my friend wasn't looking...

It's in Mick's coffee table book...I'm sure it's online somewhere - it's the ones of her backstage, not onstage. She took the hat off right after The Chain. I was shocked because she was wearing white on that tour to shirk the whole witch image. And she came out wearing a darn witch's hat!

Well, crap. The pic in the yearbook was onstage at the mike, in their rundown of all the shows that came to the Erwin Center that year. It's a great pic, just kinda funny cuz it's the only pic representing the Mac, while other bands get multiple shots.

I'm pretty sure it's the '83 yearbook - I always look for it when I'm at Half Priced Books, just never seem to find it.

Yep, right when Stevie stops during Landslide amazed how good we were singing.

That and anytime for me that Stevie just nails the GDW wail.

And of course I just flipped out at Nissan this month when I shook her hands. I couldn't believe my dream was coming true.
