SA/Houston Random Thoughts

[Livia]

I'm back and I'm exhausted!! ;-)

I'll add more to this thread later - but here's a few highlights:

These were my 6th and 7th shows - Stevie's performance in SA was the best I've seen on this tour! She was on fire - especially during the Rhiannon ending, the GDW wail, and the Silver Springs ending. We got 13 twirls during Stand Back.

In Houston, I had a little private moment with LB during World Turning. I worked my way up front during GYOW (1st event at this arena, security were dumbasses and I figured I could do it after the first few rows rushed the stage after Stand Back). Anyway, I was on the far right side, and when LB was sitting on the floor during Mick's thing - there was a little crack of space between his monitor and the black cloth covering the techie guys on the side of the stage. I could see LB's face perfectly through through the crack and he finally looked at me, and I waved. He smiled and made a face like you'd make if you just ran into someone you know and haven't seen for awhile...he mouthed "HI!" and smiled and waved back. Hee! I shook his hand again after Don't Stop. *sigh*

The sound at the new Toyota Center in Houston was fantastic! Very clear and crisp.

I love the mock-boxing/slow dancing Tusk thing they do now, very cute!

In SA, I saw a girl throw a t-shirt up to LB, he wiped his sweat onto it and tossed it back to her.

There were a lot of Stevie wanna-bes dressed up in Houston; and the Houston crowd seemed much more into it - the people on the floor were on their feet all night.

More later - got work to do!
