the moment you flipped out most during a stevie performance

[Regina]

Aw, I flip out all the time.

Let's see...I flip out at odd moments.
GDW during Sheryl Crow's Central Park in Blue (or whatever that thing was called) was my very first live Stevie experience. I went with my mom and she kind of gave me a little shove when we heard the opening strains of the song--(among the thousands of people) so I could "get closer." Well, I went as close as I possibly could and there she was--just a few "rows" (there weren't rows set up--just masses of people) in front of me and when she sang "Rock on, Ancient Queen," I just stood there in total awe.

Then there was the opening night of the TISL tour in Pittsburgh. Two things stand out--when she sang the line "it cures the silence" from Everyday and there was this massive roar coming from the audience--it was incredible. And I HAD been sick to death of recorded versions of Edge of 17--but nothing in the world prepared me for the song live. Wow.

The most recent bowl me over experience was hearing Circle Dance at the Borgata--especially the second night. She just did such a heartfelt performance and it really drove home why I love her as a singer, as well as a songwriter. It just reached out and yanked at my poor heartstrings. Her voice was strong and pure and honest.

Oh--two quick Stevie as part of FM moments--Sara live in Jones Beach last year. She was kicking major butt that night after having canceled a few concerts due to ill health the week before and that was just totally incredible out there among the wind and the rain and all the stuff Mom Nature was hurling at us poor NYers.

AND--my very first front row experience (Bridgeport)--where I got to stand between Stevie and Lindsey as they sang Say Goodbye. That's my favorite newer FM song and I honestly didn't know where to look. I just kept looking at each of them as they paid no attention to us whatsoever--did their Vulcan Eye Lock--(I'm trying to be all sci-fi but I know nothing about Vulcans and hope I have the right weird-assed reference) and just sang their hearts out. And there was this nicely hollow-ish quality to the vocals. It was fabulous both for the singing and the sideshow;-) No one can do that eyelock better!
