Atlantic City - FM was on fire!

Silver Springs was cut because Stevie isn't well. Supposedly she's having problems with her feet and back.

Hi all! I was at AC last night as well, and was disappointed by no Silver Springs, like the rest of you. I was wondering, given the presence of the so-called "frankenboks", if Stevie wasn't having some sort of physical trouble. Though she sounded fantastic, even better than when I saw them at the Garden in March, she was not as animated. But I also wonder if it might not have to do with Lindsey being injured as well. Did anyone else notice that he would occasionally shake his hand as if trying to getsome relief from pain? This was most noticible just before Big Love. I thought I heard someone near me in the crowd say he had injured his hand earlier in the tour. It didn't seem to effect his playing, but some of the songs did run a little longer with some extra vamping and pregnant pauses. If I'm not mistaken, the whole show actually ran about 15 minutes longer last night, even without Silver Springs, that it normally does. Just an observation from where I sat in sec. 102.

I found these on Youtube, pretty great quality!

There will be audio popping up.

I thought Stevie was amazing tonight, really on, so it surprises me to hear SS was cut for that reason. It did seem like other songs were longer than usual -- guess the audio will prove that one way or the other -- elongated drum solo, extra intro for Never Going Back Again. I thought they didn't play it because there was a mass exodus after Don't Stop, including about a third of the crowd at the front.

Had a lot of fun at the show with my new friend Jenna and my new fiance Mark. If you leave off the part about the guy behind her spilling wine on her Gold Dust Woman shirt, it couldn't have been much more fun!

So they played a 15 minute long version-including extended guitarsolo- of Frozen Love.
Only nobody noticed.

I'm really lovign all of the recent Gypsys. She's singing it so much better and I like the "And you say hey baby." the best improvment over tyhe begining of the tour is how she moves so much during the guiar solo like she's actually enjoying her freaking self and not standing still behind john if shes not actually singing.

Interesting idea. My friend saw Lindsey during this in Los Angeles and assumed that Lindsey was shaking off muscle cramps, inflammation or something. I myself didn't really think about it because I've never noticed him not shaking, stretching and flexing his hands and fingers. I mean, he doesn't do it incessantly, but I certainly always see him doing it a couple times during the show, especially before Big Love.

Thanks Michele. I never noticed Lindsey doing this before, but then again, I never really was looking for it. I usually watch what Stevie is doing for visual cues as to how she's feeling, but never paid attention to what he does between songs. Since you've seen this before, then it's gotta be a regular thing, and it's no wonder he would need to limber up before a song like Big Love.

yeah, I'm sure the band met with the arena staff to discuss Stevie's health issues, just so they're well informed in case anyone asks.

Gimme a break.

The venue manager (or a high ranking venue representative) is always in regular conversation with the tour representative/manager. Things like this can and usually do come up during the superficial chit chat about the show. There's no need to be dismissive.

No, I won't give you a break.

Does that mean the "band" met with the arena staff? My friend, Zelda, who ushers at the Borgata and Boardwalk Hall, said she heard that Stevie wasn't feeling well because of feet and back problems.

It doesn't matter what you think is true anyway. You weren't there to hear it. Right? I'm not going to diagnose Stevie with sciatica.

Try not to be so standoffish and be rational.

Gimme a break.
