My brief St. Louis review

[greatdarkwing]

Hey guys! I wont bore you with the details of my trip (although we were upgraded to a 900 sq foot suite because they over-booked the Hyatt). The concert, however, was kick ass! We had 2nd row seats to the side, and there was major confusion with security, because our seat numbers didn't exist!! So, they shuffled us around like 3 different times and were very apologetic about moving us. Finally we ended up all the way to the side in folding chairs with obstructed views! Then, about 2 minutes before lights down, the security guy came over and told us there were 2 empty seats in the front row dead center, and that we could have them if we wanted. He said that even if someone came to claim them, we could just stand at the stage! So, basically, we were UPGRADED TO FRONT ROW DEAD CENTER!

This was my 13th time seeing Stevie in some shape, way, or form, and I gotta say, I have never seen her with this much energy! In fact, to quote my friend, “Is she having convulsions?!” LOLOL. The highlight of the night was not INSIDER or SDMHA but her tambourine craziness during Don’t Come Around Here No More. I seriously had flashbacks to ’76-’77 Stevie. It was incredible to watch her go absolutely nuts with the tambourine. She was definitely having a blast on stage and even mouthed to someone in the front row, “This is so much fun!” Plus, she acknowledged me with a wink and tambourine wave when she was grooving to DCAHNM. All in all, it was a fantastic show, and it was well worth the trip from Miami! She seriously needs to have this kind of energy during all of her performances.

Btw, I do have to thank Becky (wildinthewind) and her friend Christy for showing us around. We had so much fun!
