What was you most memorable Stevie show/shows that you attended?

DavidMn · #1 04-11-2006, 01:58 PM

I just thought I'd start this fun topic to find out what great memories you all have. For me, there are 2 shows that stand out:

12-31-99, Las Vegas, House Of Blues. Once in a lifetime experience. Ended up right in front of Stevie the whole night and got my first Edge handshake ever.

7-20-05, Red Rocks. Though some have said her voice wasnt at it's peak during this show, and I tend to agree somewhat, I'd waited 19 years since the video came out to see her there. Thought she'd never play there again. SO when I found out she was, missing it wasnt an option for me.

Cool. She only did that a few times during SYW. But of course she saw you and came right to you. Who wouldnt?

that's right. at my show she only shook 2 hands. a girl in a wheelchair and me. girl knew I'd have a coronary if she didn't touch me. then when I got her cup from a stagehand, honey I drank that tea so fast...I was scared someone would knock me in the head to get it (I was all paranoid). it was the best mix of raspberry tea ever...and now Stevie and I are one...technically, I could clone her.

the straw still has her lipstick on it...after 3 years.

That's so cool. What's great about that kinda stuff is it's so personal for you.

and to make it an even more special night, there's a DVD and it clearly shows her go to walk offstage, she goes "oh" and turns and comes back for me and shakes my hand before leaving. you never really see me, but to have that on DVD is priceless to me.

I figured that. It was such a small venue and we were all packed in like sardines.

My friend Alicia(Haunted Song) did send me the Dvd's of the 5-11 Vegas show and the 7-17 Dallas show where I got to do the handshake. WHat I love about both is you can clearly see me taking her hand. GOOSEBUMPS!

I would have loved to have been at that one

Wild Heart - Worcester Centrum (early June maybe).
Joe Walsh opening up with Marilyn Martin in his band (she hadn't moved over to do double duty with Stevie yet).
Everyone in the audience smoking ciggies..etc. Someone lit firecrackers in the auditorium during the show. Stevie made the *tsk tsk* motion with one finger on her right hand rubbing the top of a finger on her left hand when she heard/saw the pop pops.
Stevie's voice was v. fragile, particularly during the beginning, but she played the sacrificial lamb and went on with the show. Seemed like she was heavily cough-syruped (def. NOT on a stimulant that night), but everyone in the crowd was sooooooo baked that no one seemed to care.
Lot's of teen girls in the crowd wearing little leather bands (like a shoelace) with feathers on the end, attached to their parted-in-the-middle hair by a roach clip.
Stevie also had that little square tent on the side of the stage that she ran to between songs, like a mini dressing room.
