I normally just describe it as a cult. But I'm finding my Kool-Aid delicious, thank you.

Excellent audience recording. I had not seen Stevie since the 80's and realized it had been far too long.
I really enjoy her latest solo record so it was nice to hear so many of those songs in the set.
Right after Dreams she fusses and the front section for just standing there and filming her. But she
didn't say anything about audio recording so I just kept on going ; )
Enjoy the show!

I have no idea what a torrent is or how to dl that, but I would be eternally grateful if someone could instruct me.

Agreed. Stevie is not the Statue of Liberty, people.

Download Vuze and Traders Little Helper. Vuze will take care of the the downloading of the torrent and you can rip it to .wav format with TLH. They are both very user friendly.
Or I can up them to Mediafire and post the links here but that's going to take longer.

can someone please rip to media file please

I totally agree about the religious experience thing...except for me, it's a very serious deal, I get really in a bubble and pay close attention to everything. Everyone has their own way of enjoying it. Rocking out is in order too of course, haha. Sounds like you had a great time.

This is exactly how I am. I almost don't want to bring anyone with me because I feel bad they want to dance and rock out and I am still - practically hypnotized.

I stand in line at the souvenir stand, and see this beautiful young girl dressed in Stevie finery. She graciously allowed me to take a pic.

With the camera you left in the car? Or with her camera?

Seriously though, I really enjoyed your recap of the trip, the show, and your ride home. I also enjoyed your version of this being a religious experience for you.

Only in the south could one wave their arms to flag down cars for roadside assistance. Up north people would just look at you like you might be a serial killer and drive right past you. Some would even show you their favorite finger.

RavenOfRhiannon · #**115** 08-14-2011, 07:57 AM

I took the pic with my iPhone. The pic, along with other random shots from this trip, are on my fb page. Randy Ham if you want to friend me.

And Viv, it was horrible trying to flag someone down. I came away from that thinking 'No one who says Texans are friendly has ever had a flat tire on I-20.'
Luckily, not only did I get someone to help me, but he was cute too.

If she's going to drop a new song, I personally would like it to be "Secret Love" instead of "In Your Dreams". SL is one of the least memorable Stevie songs Live In Concert...ever! It's a good enough album track, but not great for the stage. I don't begrudge Stevie putting back in "Landslide" - there was a lot of bemoaning from concert goers leaving the concert at RR about Stevie not performing it. I was proud that she was brave enough to drop it, in lieu of the fact that it'll be back no doubt in a FM set sometime in the near future, but unfortunatley fans (mostly casual) will not let go of it for this short tour

Christopher, she really loves to sing this song with the audience. I have had the experience of singing this song with her looking directly at me which is incredible, I have to say!

She didnt call Brittney a dumbass, she said "dumbass problems", unfortunately... This was some interview within the last two years... That's all I remember.
