Michael just finished and Stevie will be on soon! Funniest part of the night so far is that posters of Lindsey's show in NYC are taped to the garbage cans!!

Thats cool. Was anyone taking them off the cans to keep for themselves?

What a great show.

So many funny adlibs. It felt like story time. Stevie even felt the need to remind the audience that she was totally sober, but that she was just crazy. Tomorrow is another day.

Amazing show -- I heard a few people say that it was second only to Boston. I'll post more later if I have time... Gotta see as much of NYC as I can tomorrow before Ed and I head to Bristow!

All that was missing was a moribund white dove and Stevie beckoning it to fly whilst declaring "she loves you; she told me."

Many priceless moments, including the story about "sailboats with wheels glued to them." Mama may have been "sober" alright... maybe compared to Lindsay Lohan.

BUT... now she's given "Moonlight" the edit treatment too. An entire "strange..." chorus has been chopped.

And then she randomly kicked up the key on "For What It's Worth" after playing it in the original key for most of the tour. The capos were way up high on the neck.

Despite the fact that the show pacing was accelerated due to the curfew, it was a heck of a show. And the place was surprisingly packed! Way to go, New Jersey!

I'm awfully tired so this will be short but sweet. I had an amazing time. I had 11th row center seats and I stood for most of the show. Most of the newer songs people sat down for, but they rose to their feet and applauded her at the end of every song. It was a very lively audience and she was definitely feeding off of it.

Like ragrsrocalot said, Stevie was all talk tonight. She metioned the .org thing again, and she gave FWIW a long introduction, including she wants to live in a 1950s tour bus or park it in her back yard or something. Gosh, I can't think what else. I just know that I was hoping she'd talk between every song.

I was pleasantly surprised when she went up the octave on the "What you haaaaad" just before the second chorus of Dreams. I know it doesn't sound like much, but that completely makes the song for me.

Highlight for me was I got my first handshake during the Edge walk!!! During all of L&L I was scoping out security watching to see if they were going into warrior mode. I wasn't going to even attempt it since i was not in the first few rows, but I figured what do I have to lose. So I worked my way to the center aisle and somehow managed to get about 2 back from the stage and I held my ground and stuck up my hand and it worked! I was so excited! Dani was right up in front of me too, but I'll let her share her experience should she choose to. Then after Edge some of the people thinned out and I was literally dead in front of her for Love Is. It was so amazing!! I'm not sure I'll ever be that front and center again.

So fun seeing Ed, Dani, Grace, Anna and Marlene. See you guys and everyone else who's going to JB on Sunday!

I'll post some pics tomorrow.

The sailboat story was effin priceless. The pace seemed to be Stevie beating the beat. IDK it was weird but cool cuz it worked. She was silly and joyful, giddy and spacey.Love the happiness she is feeling. It transends the masses to take the journey.

I know I went for a ride for a bit.

Maybe it was the skunk weed they passed around, but my people were really mellow yellow.It didn't bother anyone.
