Great show!!! Edge walk was a little different because of all the wheelchairs. You had to be in the first row or second. They gave out bracelets to 1st and half of 2nd row (luckily I was in second row right before the row was roped off and the rest of the second row continued with a rope in front of it, and got a bracelet).Thankfully It was seat 29!!!! Walking to my seat I said if my seat is beyond that rope Im gonna be pissed. She actually came off the stage and walked directly in front of us!!!! Stevie looked and sounded amazing!!! This was like my I dont know I have lost count but my 150th show since 1979!

How did the crowd respond to the new songs? Sooooo paranoid stevie will drop songs because of people taking " bathroom" breaks!

She only wore two capes the entire show and played the tambo once. Vocally, she was on par but honestly, she is boring to watch.

it's probably due to the boots...if she wore them all night. On the Unleashed tour she said she had trouble concentrating on singing because her feet hurt so bad. I know we all hate the boks but I think she performs a lot better when she wears them.

I first noticed it on The Voice. I like them better than the long red nails.

When her nails are short like that I wonder if she's been playing guitar.

I agree. These are larger venues, filled with casual fans, and she is aware of that. (Versus the mostly die- hard 2000 fans at the Wiltern)

There's really nothing quite like seeing a show at Red Rocks.

The Ledgies I met were all so nice and gracious. I didn't get as much time with everyone as I would have liked, but it was a memorable night and it was wonderful to meet everyone that I did.

I was sitting in row 3, and it's the closest I've ever been to the stage at a Stevie show. I was hoping to get some good pictures, but many of them that I took didn't turn out as great as I thought they were while I was taking them.

Stevie wore the usual black outfit, but switched it up to white for Edge and Love Is. Annabel Lee was far better live than I expected. I enjoyed Sorcerer, which I usually don't. Moonlight seemed a little crooked and off balance. I couldn't put my finger on it until Curtis said that it needed the strings that are in the album version, and it all made sense. I'm sort of surprised that Stevie didn't get a violin player for the tour....and I won't be surprised if she drops the song later on down the line. My partner likes to make fun of Stevie and my love for her music. He means it in a fun way, and sometimes he actually makes me laugh - he wanted to know if since Moonlight was her Twilight song, was Sorcerer her Harry Potter song?

Gold Dust Woman was great but it always is. The crowd really came alive at this point! Ghosts Are Gone was next and sounded great! Stevie talked a bit about Walter Reed and her experiences there that were the inspiration for Soldier's Angel. At some point near here, a friend of mine working the event brought me a copy of the setlist, which I posted below.

I noticed that as the crowd's energy grew, so did Stevie's. She really lit up the second half of the show, and her performances of Secret Love - and Leather And Lace - were some of the best of the night for me. I was surprised how good Leather And Lace sounded, and it was sweet of Stevie to sing it with her vocal coach. I hope they keep this in the set for the whole tour - Stevie's vocal was so good and the song fits her voice very well.

Then came The Edge. I would have loved to do the Edge Walk, but it wasn't in the stars. I get a little bothered about it at every Stevie show, but this time was ok. She was SO CLOSE that it felt like I was there. All in all, Stevie was on fire during this song. When she moved down to the audience for the Edge Walk, the swooning of the fans and the drums and guitar and the energy of those massive Red Rocks all came together and the wind became crazy - like seriously, it was intense! I can't even explain the energy of the audience, and the wind, and the way they fed off of each other and the way Stevie's hair was blowing. You had to be there - I tried to capture it in a few photos posted below.

Love Is closed the show and was better than I would ever have imagined it to be. The audience was silent, hanging on Stevie's every word, all the way to the very last word.

I had a great night at Red Rocks and being there with other Ledgies just made it better. Thank you!

Wow, that's an awesome shot.

Thanks for sharing! Really enjoyed reading your account. Sounds like it was a magical show - hope it continues throughout the rest of the tour.

I, too, really hope she keeps L&L in the set!

Pretty good setlist - definitely not the same ol' same ol'.

Love the white - would have preferred her in beige boots, but that's just because I can never be totally satisfied.

AWESOME description and photos! Thanks for "taking us along" for the ride!

I felt the same way at the Tampa H&S Tour . . . except I felt like I was alone because all the BORING Rod Stewart fans were up taking bathroom breaks. How rude.

Glad everyone had a wonderful time and my heartfelt thanks for sharing it with us!

Stevie in that white outfit is a beautiful, beautiful sight.... WOW

Those pics in the white dress are dreamy. But it also kind of reminds me of the bride in the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland!

As far as no strings on moonlight - I'm pretty sure they piped them in with a synthesizer at the Wilter show..
