Ha! That reminds me when she was telling us she wasn't supposed to talk to us (lol) she went on to say not only how hard that was but that people leave the room and she'll just talk to her dog.

And, she did specify it wasn't her singing that hurt the throat it was the talking and how she had done so many interviews and press for promoting IYD that it had taken it's toll.

Good! She talks way too much during her shows these days. For me, all that chatter kills the momentum, flow and mystery of the show. And I don't think most people, except maybe us Ledgies, necessarily want to hear her go on and on and on like she does.

Are you sure she was OK? She looks a little rough in some of those pics though thanks for them. Maybe it's the lighting? I hate it when she gets sick & she's been getting sick a lot here lately.

No, she looked fab! Sorry for the quality, I had to use my phone (forgot camera)...

Just got back home. She was AMAZING. Seriously, her voice sounded phenomenal, and she really seemed to be having fun the whole night. She was darned cute.

When she was introducing Annabel Lee, she was like, "This song was written by Edgar Allan Poe, and he's going to be singing it with me!" And she put her arm around an imaginary person and then introduced herself to him, like, "Edgar, Stevie. Stevie, Edgar."

After GAG, she went up to the mic and was like, "At the first show I tried to walk to the sides of the stage and play the tambourine for everyone, but then I realized you couldn't hear it unless I was right in front of the mic! So I'm pushing to invent something that can go on my tambourine so I can dance around and you can still hear. 'Cause If I'm going to play like this [insert Stevie playing the tambourine here], I want you guys to hear it!" (paraphrased, but, y'know. The gist.)

Also of note: she got choked up at the end of Soldier's Angel.

And like CADreaming said, she did tell everyone that next time, she wanted to hear everyone singing second and third harmonies on FWIW

THEY PLAYED THE FWIW MUSIC VIDEO IN THE BACKGROUND. Did they do that before? I hadn't heard that they did but it's hard to catch everything sometimes. But seriously, it was so amazing. I cried a little bit, not even gonna lie. If people haven't seen it yet, I can elaborate, 'cause I watched it the whole time.

ummm what else.

Oh, during Love Is.. Stevie started singing, "Do you know what this is? No, I don't." And someone a few rows up goes "Yeah, neither do I!" which, I realize was rude, but was kind of clever.

Her voice was in top form. This is the best I've heard her sound all year. Also, she does look really, really thin, and the pictures don't do her justice. The outfits aren't unflattering at all in reality.

Ohhh wee!!! I'm finally home and settled down enough to think about last nights show... I've been overwhelmed with emotions for a solid 24 hours now. But enough about me.... let's talk about Stevie!!! (and me!)

I know I'm repeating some details already been mentioned but I'mma gonna tell yall again anyways...

Stevie said she had been on vocal rest and that she wasn't going to talk between songs as much as she usually does because it's not the singing that hurts her voice it's the talking and she's been doing so much press lately and having to talk. She told us that if she started talking too much to tell her to stop. She stuck out her hand when she said stop - like stop in the name of lovvvve.

The intro to Annabelle Lee was priceless. With her right arm stretched out around the shoulders of an imaginary Edgar. Stevie says "Hello Edger" and then leaned to pretend she was the imaginary Edgar saying "Hello Stevie." Soooo cute!!! She said he wrote it about his wife a long time ago. Then she sang it.

Soldiers Angel was probably the most well received of all the new songs. I'd probably be sticking my foot in my mouth if I said that folks over here are more patriotic than other places, cause I don't know that for sure...but the crowd liked that song.

When it came time for the Edge walk, I froze like a deer in headlights! I held my camera up and pushed record but my eyes were on Stevie the whole time. She is a beautiful woman. The reality of her age kicked in when I saw her up close. Beautiful in every way but you can just tell she's getting older too. It was just an overwhelming reality for me. I just want her to be happy and I don't want any one to every say anything about her looking older too. It just hurts my heart. I want Stevie to always know she is beautiful and to always feel beautiful and for everyone in the whole wide world to think she's as beautiful as I do. Needless to say, I was so overwhelmed and under the influence of Stevie crack a lack that I couldn't move my feet in the direction of the stage.

I was on the right side 4th row and there were several chiffonheads in the row in front of me. Are any of you ladies on here??? An old fart on my row asked one of you to sit down so his old lady could see.... and you just kind of gave him an agreeable nod like you were going to sit down but casually turned around and kept on standing/dancingish. Very classy move!

I tried not to take my camera out much, cause it was distracting to me...but I do have a few pics and videos that are uploading now.

Oooo wweee! It's way past my bedtime! will post pics tomorrow.
