I thought it was more "magical" than at the American shows for some reason. I don't know... The crowd response was incredible, although they did quiet down quite a bit between numbers. But there seemed to be something really genuine about their performances and interactions with each other. Rather than feeling like their "Sara" hug was staged, it looked truly heartfelt tonight for some reason. They did sound great and I was particularly impressed by Lindsey- it sounds like he went to a vocal coach during his break or something! No bum notes, no growling. And his harmonies are just incredible... And Stevie sounded about as good as she has recently and she seemed to be in a genuinely good mood. For "Landslide" she made her dedication to some guy (forgot his name) that took her to a castle where they allowed her to interact with an owl that was trained to fly to her arm. I could have sworn she was going to get teary eyed over it because she was saying how it was something she would never forget and that it was the highlight of her Euro trip. I could imagine her standing up there in that old Scottish castle and feeling like she was living the life of Rhiannon, the ruler of birds! Anyway, it totally shocked me that "Silver Springs" was dropped. Had it been included, I would have considered this as the best show I have seen so far on this tour.

As always! I couldn't understand half of what the drunk Glaswegians in the front were saying, but I heard this guy slurring, "...yah, she's gote the beast voice I eevor hoard in me loif."

Great pics! What side of the stage were you on? I was on the left ("Stevie's") side so if you were too then you must have been right next to me, haha!

Default Great Show in Glasgow....

The Glasgow show was as good as any of the shows back in the States, &, Canada,

the venue was a bit different in that it is a very wide hall, so perhaps the people on the sections A, &, R did not get the best sound, &, view, but the Band were right on their Game,

unfortunately Silver Springs was dropped,

it was on the set-list, but the crew were taking the stage set-up appart before the the hall lights came on, which caused some confusion for the crowd,

The band's security were great,

the venues security were a bit confused with the crowd being allowed up to thefront of the stage,

all in all, another great show,

oh, btw Stevie has a new pair of boots......

In general I couldn't believe how nice everyone was in Scotland! Maybe I'm used to the rough n tumble New Yorkers... but gosh darn! So the security at the venue was so kind... they tried to get people to their seats, but they could only be so tough... it's not in their nature to bust b@lls! But the routine seems to be to loiter around the front for a while, get in your predator stance as the crickets start, then be ready to pounce when the lights go down. Works every time!

Oh, yes, I thought those were new boots... these had some kind of gray fold-down flap at the top. A bit higher than ankle-high.

The aisle is the best! You'll make it, I'm sure of it! But be careful with the stage speakers that face outward- they are LOUD!!!! Best to stand between the monitors. Good luck at Sheffield!! Hopefully they will do something special, since it's the last Euro date, I think.

It was incredible!! I was right at the front of the stage (they let some rows up) and I shook Lindsey's hand and touched Stevie's shawl! The Stand Back one I mean.

Yes, no Silver Springs was abig disappointment but otherwise it was amazing. Just wonderful. A fukkreview will follow with comments on some of the songs etc...

I have some really good pictures from the gig actually, how do I get them posted in a message here?

By the way, Hejira NYC, where were you standing? I was right at the stage so we must have been in the same row judging by your pics etc? Be great to know if we were next to each other or something!

Well... I don't know, but it's very possible. If you saw a nearly bald Asian guy stand between Stevie's monitors, that was moi.

Glad you were able to make it up front! The security was guarding the front section like the gestapo!

Glad you made it to the front. I know from your posts how excited you were about the concert, even better you got up front. Well done.
