Of so, I would spend my money there instead of on gambling, where I was a big loser.

Well, I get home last night and there's a show on some channel about what games have the best odds of winning in Vegas. I'm like, sure, now you tell me.

thanks for the review w/all the 'little details' if she ever does vegas again...i WILL be there...no matter what...

so...just where are the 'boots' for friday and saturday?

I was at the Saturday show, and apart from the obvious disappointment with the visuals (c'mon Stevie, you can surely afford to do better!), her voice was as strong as ever - reminded me of her 80's Red Rocks-era, only sober... She seemed to be enjoying herself. BAB was positively operatic, and shows what she can do if she puts her mind to it. Now, if she paid that much attention to detail for one song, could she do it for the whole show, please???

But what's with the October rumour? Does that mean I have to head to Vegas AGAIN??? euwww... sorry, it was my first trip and I got sick of it pretty quickly....or maybe that was just my feet complaining... next time, fly in, see the show and get out...quickly...

Re a Stevie store - hopefully Chris won't be in charge of stocking it. Stevie hon, there are people who know how to do this stuff, go talk to them! Please!! I'd like to help you with your retirement plan, get some stuff worth buying!!

I know! That t-shirt could not have been more lame! Stevie! I'm a graphic designer! I'm available whenever you wanna call!

Oh and by the way, the Dreams remix was actually Wilson Phillips version of it. I'm sure that's been clarified already somewhere else.

Wilson Phillips version with Stevie's vocal? Really?

Plus, I was only aware that WP did GYOW - when did they do Dreams?

[LeighB04]

I had the same thought, watching the "set design" (if I may be so generous!) - I have a meagre amount of video stuff at home and I could've done a better job than what we saw! Nothing too distracting, but between "All the same" and I, wow! we could put together a plan that would rock Stevie's world! Call us, Ms Nicks - we won't even charge a whole bunch, in case that retirement fund is running low on millions....

you are the cutest... she must have been so upset, poor thing. "Mike! Mariel! Darlings, where are you? MEZZ! Well, at least the price was right... I'll just give you two a wave."

Yep. Vegas is a cesspool and I hate it. My sister got married there a few years back and I was chomping at the bit to leave, only to skip over to L.A. which is almost the caliber of cesspool that Vegas is . I will go see Stevie in October (if she decides to play again) and then post haste hightail it outta there.

I was at both Friday and Saturday's shows and while I was apprehensive at first about the set list, let me justg say that it was unlike anything she has ever done, just like she said it would be.
Celine's theater is quite beautiful.
Stevie's stage was built up so it wasn't at an angle.
I love the new Dreams remix and hope she plans on releasing it.
The band was tighter than all get out and Waddy was particularly fun to watch, as I was closer to him on Saturday. He played with much flair and towards the end of the show Stevie looked at him for a long time and for a moment she reminded me of how she looked at the end of Rhiannon in the Bella Donna tour video.
Mick was spotted in the audience.
The high kick was back at the end of Stand Back.
She sang the bejesus out of Outside The Rain.
She talked about what a sexy, glamorous time it was when Sorcerer was written and when "they" joined Fleetwood Mac.
Gold Dust Woman had new lyrics at the end. "I can't see you anymore baby..." or something similar to that.
If Anyone Falls was so spectacular, especially with the harmonies at the end, I literally had chills. This song kicked ass!
The boots came out for Edge and I Need To Know.
How Still My Love was augmented by Stevie doing the hula. Yes folks the hula and she did it perfectly. It reminded me a little of the way she used to dance during Rhiannon.
Beauty And The Beast was breathtaking, with the stunning dress, the video behind her and most of all, Stevie's flawless vocal. As I said, I haven't seen her perform with this much intensity in a long, long time.
She told Jessica Nicks from the stage, "This is what you mother gave up to have you."
Her introduction of Carlos was touching, saying he stood by her when she couldn't even stand.
The Edge walk saw lots of hand shaking and kisses.
I'm glad I made the trip and if she plays like this again, I will not hesitate to go see her again.
Stevie Nicks the rock star was back in full force at the Caesar's Palace Colosseum last night.

I could not agree more. I was there Thursday-Today and caught the Sat night show and I was brought to tears. I am SO thankful I was able to catch HSML and B&TB live. She is truly rock's diva.

PS - If you sat in section 5 and are from Boston and DC, PM me.

Agreed. And I live there. I'm so sick of seeing women's asses and boobs on my way to work I could puke.

That certainly was the boobinest, assinest place I've ever been to. And I mean everyone. I thought Chico was scantily clad. No, Vegas wins, and the thing in vegas is, everyone is scantily clad, not just young, good looking people who are in shape...

Those porn cards that they hand out on the street are horrible! I almost tripped on a bunch of them on the sidewalk while walking down to the Wynn. That was beautiful and I will post some Vegas pics later the week in the Chit Chat section.

On Tuesday night, I thought it was a Stevie remix but I read somewhere (I think it was on The Ledge) that it was the Wilson Phillips version. So, I listened carefully on Saturday to make sure it was and it for sure was them, not Stevie singing. Weird, eh? I had totally thought it was her vocal on Tuesday too.
