Atlanta Ledgie Meet-up

Lame is putting it mildly. Stevie's song was very close to previous shows if anyone wants to know.

So really? JUST front row?

[CADreaming]

What I saw was the line started at the left during the beginning of Edge. I started to go down then in the middle aisle but realized no one was moving. I watched a couple of ladies go speak with an usher and he shook his head. They went back to their seat. Finally, right before Stevie came out one of those same ladies went and spoke to him again and went to center stage. Then when Stevie came out everyone began moving quickly to the stage and that's when I went too. All I gots to say is we was one stankin' bunch of people!! Good Lord, it was hot!!!

[J.Miller]

Yep, I hope you have better luck getting to the stage than we did.

Well from 2nd row center it should be doable. I'll make friends with an usher and tell them we've come all the way from Vancouver , haha. Appeal to their kindness (if they have any, lol)

I was 5th row if that gives anyone hope. I didn't have to talk to anyone, I just walked and ended up in the midst of the crowd. I didn't have a problem besides getting close enough to get a hand shake which wasn't easy since I'm short.

Were these to ladies to the right of you? Because I walked up to them two or three times and got denied and thats when I said F**k you I'm going around so thats when I went to the center aisle. They were total jerks especially the guy sitting in section B-1R Row A Seat 1. Get a life you miserable jerk off! We were in each others faces almost and I was trying not to let them get to me but after having seen Stevie 16 times the Edge Walk is the highlight for me. The new songs were great but I've been through the routine. All I want is to shake her hand and hopefully get some eye contact and just tell her thank you. BTW, I was 9th row with an aisle seat.
Also at past shows, as soon as the song before Edge comes on its a mad rush. But these losers were still sitting during Edge. And only came up maybe with a minute or two before she starts the walk.
When I was leaving I told one of the security guards thanks for nothing and shook his hand. Now I did touch her hand but everything would have been much smoother for everyone if they had just known what was up. And the one guy in the audience that I got into it with that said I can't see if you stand there I said its a rock concert your supposed to stand. I'm just fed up with the semi-fans that don't give a damn and would rather get a buzz on.
Highlights of the show: Soldiers Angel! Works so well on stage! Its moving and powerful. Then FWIW but not the song, even though its great, but the FWIW video playing in the background. It looks amazing!!!!!!!
Oh and Stevie said its not the singing that caused the postponed show, but her talking during her shows. And she said something funny about how hard it was for Stevie Nicks not to talk but she would try. No Landslide dedication also.
After a nap I will post pictures.

? Okay, so you were sitting in the 9th row, and these people you are talking about were sitting in the 1st row? And your complaint is that they didn't move to make way for you, and that they complained when you did get in front of them that you were blocking their view? And you've seen Stevie 16 times, and I'm guessing from the way you put it that you've often gone up during the Edge walk and said hi and shook her hand?

Is that all correct or am I misunderstanding you?

I was wondering the same thing. I gotta say, after i have spent what I have spent for the 2nd row and how far I will have travelled I would be out for blood if someone butted in ahead of me. Just sayin

If there's more to it, I apologize ahead of time...

[TwistedGypsy]

No the guy complaining was in the box section next to front row and it is slightly raised and if he had stood he would have been fine. My point is if you are not going to let people up then don't do Edge walk or how about doing smaller venues like the Wiltern that only hard core fans would come to.
My other point is, its a friggin ROCK CONCERT!!!!
You know what next show, I'm just going to sit in my seat and applause when I should and only stand during Dreams, Rhiannon and GDW. Sounds like a great time to me!
Unfortunately, I wasn't born when concerts were concerts. When everyone was there for the music and the experience.
Don't try to make me out to be a spoiled brat, because I'm not. I think in the situation I was in last night was that I'm young and there is no way I could be that big a fan or know what I was talking about. The security guy said "well you don't know the setlist.." Really sir? Would you like to try me?!
That's fine though....Stevie, it's your show and if you want to keep playing to mediocre fans then go right ahead. But if you are going to have the Edge walk then your people need to let the venue people know.
On a lighter note, getting ready to post my pics with my new camera!

Most of you probably don't remember me, but I was an addicted Ledgie during the Dance era. I'm not on here to disrespect anyone, but I'm backing Britt/Twisted up on this. If you pay a crap load of $$$ for top notch seats and your ass is sitting down in your seats then you are there for the wrong reasons. If Stevie didn't give a **** then she wouldnt do the walk. This ain't a movie theater it's a rock and roll experience and you can't experience that sitting down! That guy was just being a jerk! They don't call it a pit for the hell of it! wimps!

Thanks Laura! So good to hang out with you and Jim!

The one pic with the background of her at I guess Walter Reed or somewhere in DC is my favorite and this last one. Her face reminds me of the end of the HBO Special when she's all emotional.

You put our cameras to shame.
