I cannot explain how excited I am for tonight

I knew I couldn't be the only one !
Have you seen them before?

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

I'll be there too and also hoping to get close to the front

Well, it's now Wednesday and I'm still on a high. I was a bit worried after how good Manchester was that this would disappoint, BUT I needn't have worried!
It was even better, tho I wouldn't have believed it could have been. Stevie seemed really into it, lots of little smiles and interaction with those of us lucky enough to be under her mike. No handshake this time, unfortunately, but you can't have everything!

As predicted, no Silver Springs, but she really blew me away again with GDW and Stand Back. Rhiannon was better, especially the end part, and she really went for it on Sara,landslide and Storms. Took a few pics which I'll try and post later (I'm at work at moment!).

It was good to meet a couple of folk who I recognised from manchester too - great to share the evening again with you guys.

I'm sad that that's the end of the tour for me, and insanely jealous of those going to Wembley Friday. Maybe I'll just have to go down anyway and see if I can get a decent ticket outside - the last two shows have probably spoiled me for being anywhere other than at the front though!

Roll on a new album, the tour we'll need to promote it and Stevie coming for a mega solo tour to the UK - well, I can dream can't I???

Yes, that's the one. I've already booked tickets - Front Row Centre, for the Cuckooland Arena, with special meet and greet before the show and full backstage access!

I had a great night too. Even though I had a 10th row ticket on Stevie's side when they started letting people up we just walked down to the front. I stood to the right of Lindsey opposite the girls

The weather was awful in the day. Cleared up though and was just cold. SO not too bad!

Hi Steve, you were probably standing right in front of me! I totally agree about Stevie being really into it, she seemed to be really enjoying herself and interacting with people much more than when I saw her on the SYW tour.

I think so. I was in a green Tshirt right up against the stage!
Your pics are amazing - you got all the shots I forgot to get!
Here's one or two (inferior) ones I did take.
