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.

omg i can't wait! dammit!!!!!!! i just jumped up and down at work!!!!

Had they shown the music video before?

Well, if not...

It was beautiful, MUCH better than CTF or Secret Love. As you might have imagined, it was Stevie in a tour bus, basically, travelling across a desert. There wasn't much of a 'storyline' so-to-speak, it was more a vignette of that time, I guess. They showed her in the tour bus drawing, writing, playing guitar (<3), laughing and talking to people, getting her make-up done. I think Dave was supposed to be her love interest - in some of the shots she was sitting with his arms around her and they were holding hands. They showed Mike Campbell getting on the bus, and all of them hanging out on the bus, etc. There were BEAUTIFUL shots of her standing in the desert alone in a very flowy, black chiffon dress that was a lot like her older ones - with the layered handkerchief skirt and all. The wind was blowing and it was a silhouette... it was breathtaking. Lots of close-ups of Stevie's face and Stevie's profile looking out the window. She looked incredible. I have to say the editing was really nice on this and it was just natural and picturesque and it really fit the song.

Oh I can't wait to see this! It sounds wonderful and a bit of a deparature...not actually "singing" the song, so to speak.

Thanks for sharing this! I really wanted to watch the video and all the stuff on the screen but I ended up just watching Stevie the entire time.

LOL!! The EAP thing was too funny!!

I remember she said something like "So, now I'll introduce all my little tamborinists!" after the tambo comment when she was going into the band intros.

I think she should continue going from side to side with the tambo even if you can't hear it from the audience... It's a visual thing and I think people kinda know what a tambourine sounds like anyway.

This sounds so awesome, really! Can't wait to see the vid if it ever surfaces! Thanks for sharing!

[WildHearted]

I can't get over how awesome the video was. I mean, maybe it was just the heat of the moment thing - I was SO surprised to see it, and excited, and no one around me knew what the hell I was talking about or gave a crap haha. But anyway, I really hope that it gets officially released soon so everyone can see it, and I can watch it again and take it all in in a more controlled environment

Did anyone get any videos? I got like, part of Edge, and all of GDW.. but I was dancing/freaking out so the video is shaky, and the sound isn't that great either haha.

Has anyone noticed a video for Soldiers Angel? At the woodlands, I didn't pay attention to the screen until the very end and I saw Stevoe standing in a long dress in an empty room!

I haven't noticed a video, but last night this photo was on the screen for the entire song until the end:



Then, it was Stevie in a black dress at either the Lincoln memorial or the White House, I believe. There were huge columns in the photo. Very eerie!

Also, that reminded me.... previous concert photos showed the screens had a photo of flag-draped caskets. Well, apparently she didn't like that - right after she sang she read the information from the teleprompter about giving to the USO and went on to emphasize the song was not for "the ones who didn't make it back, it's for the ones who did make it back" and she asked if we could to give anything at all to help them, that they needed our help and it was important.

[WildHearted]

I love that picture so much. I was kind of surprised to see it up there but very delighted!

Nice pictures. They don't even look like phone photos. They almost look like they have an effect going through them.
