Having not seen Stevie solo since she was in Sydney for Rock A Littl, I've got to say I thought she was amazing. My wife isn't a huge fan (maybe because I'm a bit obsessed) but she said she never heard her sound so good and be so in to it. She was just fantastic. Every song sounded fresh. I liked Rhiannon again after years. Beauty and the Beast is one of my favourites and was just awesome so was my other fave Beautiful Child which she said she couldn't do do when she had the chance to have an orchestra. It blew the Mac one from the Say You Will tour away.

Lori Nicks was back singing (just for the 3 weeks Oz tour).

The songs were mixed between band or band + orchestra - sometimes it was hard to tell which was which expect from the ballads where you really heard the strings and flutes. I didn't get a chance to get a copy but I saw the headlines of a review over someone's shoulder on the flight from Melbourne and it said somethign about Stevie Charms but orchestra not used enough or something like that.

I'd pretty much used more money than I should have getting my wife and I to Melbourne, gettings childredn looked after for the weekend and getting what were supposed to be good seats. I'd decided that Melbourne would be my only concert. I'd been regretting that I didn't try to get tp a Sydney show. After last night though, I think she made such an effort on every song (there were lots of Stand Back twirls and the kick) that I thought I just wouldn't top that concert and with 20 years between gigs down here I'm not likely to see her again.

For me it's going out on a real high.

Greg- I'm so glad you had such a great time. I am the same way- I can't ever remember details. I can't even remember the setlist! Thanks for sharing what you could with us.
