Milwaukee Reviews, Photos, Etc.

[Skyveris]

I too am back home from the Milwaukee concert. I thought there was great attendance, as the venue seemed rather packed, although Stevie said that they almost didn't make it to Milwaukee. It was my first time seeing the band live and it was a spectacular show that exceeded my stratospheric expectations.

The atmosphere was electric with excitement, as the audience was highly energetic and erupted in wild, roaring applause after every performance, and the band seemed to feed off of the hot outpouring of enthusiasm showering upon it. I was on the lower level balcony directly facing the stage and cheered myself hoarse, as well, and even uncontrollably shouted "I love you, Stevie!" with all of my might after a breathtaking performance of Gold Dust Woman. Stevie, ever exuding dazzling flair and ageless ethereality, seemed mere feet away from me as I gazed at her through a pair of high-powered binoculars that I was so happy I thought to bring. She is truly an exquisitely stunning lady in person, especially draped in such elegant attire. The rock goddess's voice sounded a bit higher than I thought it would, but her vocals were awesome, especially on the aforementioned Gold Dust Woman, Sara, Landslide, and Storms. She added some lyrics to Gypsy, the song that I was most looking forward to hearing live, and it was an excellent performance. Lindsey was ever the fireballing guitar god who let fly intensely exhilarating, searing guitar solos. His vocals were outstanding. Big Love and Oh Well, as well as Go Your Own Way and I'm So Afraid, of course, were notable highlights for me.

I'll never, ever forget that blistering, dazzlingly exciting concert. Incidentally, I brought my camcorder and started to film the show, but an usher stopped me and told me that it wasn't allowed. Therefore, I returned home with neither photos nor video in hand, which is to say that I hope upon hope that someone recorded the show and will be obliged to upload it, as I sadly have no mementos from the concert.
