The older I get, the more i feel i NEED her to still be her, and watching soundstage, i feel like got to see my hero shine. I AM SO GLAD *MOST* everyone enjoyed it as much as I did. I'd stayed away from the ledge for a bit to just be able to enjoy her SoundStage withought any overanalizations (that happen sometimes). I had a get together, and people who had never really seen Stevie were captivated. Seriously.After they saw the shows, they were like "alright, I get it. that was cool. She 's good, theres really no one else like her" I breathed a sigh of relief. I loved watching some of my friends watch Sara and get absorbed in watching, or watch Rhiannon, and say ....WOW. at the end. Guys and Girls were like shes HOW old? She's Hot. and then show me their I pods the next day with How still my love on it, and then say, i think i liked it live better, whens that coming out? She did good folks. She did good.
(im gonna try to resist saying something cheezy....trying...trying.....nope, can't...)
Rock-on Gold Dust Woman.

Very well said. I think talent transcends time and her talent is just a little different now with her vocal range, but that is what makes it so special... the fact that she is living this crazy rock and roll life and is still around to rock and give us this music and performances. It is really a miracle when you think about how the rock and roll life style can really cut your life short or you burn out. We are all very blessed Stevie and FM are still around.

I too try not to compare Stevie to her youth because, hey face it, we are all getting older too.

Stevie still amazes me and puts a huge smile on my face and lifts up my spirits when I am down. So, thank you Stevie for putting this DVD out. I know it must be hard being in the spotlight as an aging woman rocker, so that takes guts and passion to commit to that project and get it released.

(side note: I felt really good when my 16 yr old nephew came for a visit, I put on Edge and I started to dance and bang my head to the music and he thought that was so cool). He is into Jimi Hendrix and Red Hot Chili Peppers, so it is nice to have a family member that knows rock and roll and appreciates it.
