STEVIE NICKS-GREEK 5-20-07-FAN REVIEW w/ PICS

[SNLB]

Don't know if I missed it anywhere, but I didn't see a thread started for Stevie's show from last night at The Greek.



In a word...AWESOME!

I hadn't seen Stevie solo since 1989 so I was excited. I'd seen the set list and was looking forward to hearing mostly everything. My friend and I upgraded our tickets from Terrace (or, balcony, if you will) to center 5th row behind the pit section, which I guess is technically, the 9th row. Nice start!

Chris Issak was extremely entertaining. I only know two of his songs, but he puts on an outstanding show. Loved hearing him sing Cheap Trick's I'd Love You To Want Me. And my favorite of his for the night was the last song he sang, which I think was called Forever Blue(?). Here are a couple of pics!


Stevie was as awesome as always. She sounded great, seemed like she was really having a great time and well, she, as usual, looked drop-dead gorgeous! Stand Back was a great opener. The set list was the same as The Concord show, but she switched a couple of the songs around. She dedicated I Need To Know to Tom Petty, who she said was there. She also talked about how she'd toured with him and admitted it was the best time she'd ever had. I finally got to hear her sing Enchanted, a song I haved loved since The Wild Heart came out. Loved it! Landslide was a highlight with the photos and altering film clips of her and her family on the large screen behind her. Also enjoyed hearing her sing Led Zep's Rock And Roll. Even though she only plays for about 90 minutes, she keeps up the pace with upbeat songs throughout, thankfully. I'd say for someone pushing 60, she kept things rockin'! I'd go see her again, without hesitation. Here are some photos:

During Landslide. I had a tough time getting good shots of Stevie and the screen. I turned off the flash and could get the photos on the screen behind Stevie, but you can't see Stevie too well, or I could have left the flash on and you would have been able to see Stevie, but not the screen.




As for merchandise, the posters are beautiful and I had to wait until after the show to buy one or I would have ruined it. They had bags to keep your merchandise in, but no poster tubes or rubberbands. I also bought the black Crystal Visions shirt, the keychain, and the magnet, but that poster is my favorite. It's $10.00 and well worth it. I wanted to get the brown "THE BOOTS ARE BACK" shirt, but it felt so flimsy and "The Boots Are Back" was written so small on the back of the shirt (which I thought was the best part of the shirt), I thought for my $40.00, I'd get the black shirt. As reported here, they do have tour books and they are $15.00.

For those of you going to the show, enjoy both Stevie and Chris. I totally got my money's worth.

Curious as to what the poster is as well? Is it of the cover of CV or something else? Hopefully a nice picture of her!
Thanks ~

Great pics!

I was there too and was surprised when security let me go to the Pit during Edge. I was in section A row C on the aisle and when the two guys behind me got through I decided to try and I politely asked security if I could go into the Pit and they said yes. Who'd have thunk it!

Some people though got a little crazy and a couple of girls tried to wiggle their way in front of people who paid top dollar for those Pit seats and they should be ashamed of themselves. I just stood in the aisle between sections because for me it was good enough just to be that close. After Edge I returned to my seat as it was a real crush. I don't know where you were sitting but it appears to have been in the Pit. And, if it was know this I wasn't one of those idiots trying to elbow their way in front of you and security did let us in-no questions asked. Why I have no idea.

I have front row seats for her concert next Friday at Soboba and I know I'm not going to want someone from the back elbowing me out of the way. Hopefully my good karma will pay off-ask Earl.

Peace

No this is my first time. I live in Rancho Cucamonga which is great as is about the same distance from me as the Greek was.

Have you been? Any pointers. I know I should probably get their early as I saw Don Henley earlier this year in Indio at the Fantasy Resort Casino and traffic was a nightmare. I didn't get to my seat until after the concert started. Not going to risk that again.

Is it this poster or something different??? I'm dying to know what the poster looks like also!!

[SNLB]

Here is the poster:


What I liked about it is that it's a different shot of Stevie and not the same photos used on the other merchandise. It's on nice paper too.

Good for you for getting down inside the pit! I also noticed they were letting people down there, but by the time I made a move, it was too late for me to get in there. Grrr! Oh well!
