In fact the Two Voice Tour had some of Stevie's finest moments since I started seeing her live in '98. She just seemed to be having the time of her life up there with Don Henley which made for an excellent show for us.

BTW Paula, I think my friend Kim and I were sitting next to you and your friend at that first Caesar's show and we spoke briefly. Did you make it up for the walk that night? I'm pretty sure your friend made it up there, but we were too far.

We were way over to the right & couldn't get up front the first night, so I'm not sure that was me you're thinking of.

BTW - I really enjoyed the 2V show I saw w/ Henley. I thought she was very good that tour.

I say kudos to Stevie for not falling. Maybe she does not need to go as fast any more for an effect. She knows how to work a crowd's response with more seductive twirls with her shawl to get a crowd in a frenzy.

If she doesn't twirl for Stand Back... be honest, how many fans or just general fans would be sort of disappointed as it kind of is her trademark move for that song.

See, really I don't think people expect it, at least not general fans. I think when she DOES twirl & does it smoothly & quickly, people are pleasantly surprised like "whoa, look at her go, how old is she?" I think when she clumsily turns around a couple times, they're saying "Jesus, lady, you're too old for that sh*t."

So if you knew the actual situation instead of attacking me, you would understand that.

Who got their hopes up? I don't recall anyone taking his/her word as fact.

and do you know why?
Is it becasue they are flawless, NO
They neither sing or are a girl.

All this over-expectation heaped on Stevie Nicks is ridiculous,

just thought i'd add that.

Nothing to do with her being a girl. Everything to do with her being "the star."

However, I can stop reading certain others' posts....so that is what I will do instead. I still believe that you draw more flies with sugar than with vinegar so I will just ignore all the vinegar here.

Yeha, let's censor everyone because they're not blindly in love with the band anymore. Come on, dude. ONE person said it's time for her to retire, and I only recall a couple more agreeing. There are plenty of us here who are a bit disappointed in what we've seen so far, but we're not demanding that she give it up for good.
