She was hysterical this evening. She kept cracking little jokes and making just funny comments. I can't explain it exactly, but she seemed more spontaneous than I recall in awhile. She even said she just watched rehearsals last week cause she lost her voice and well, she's winging it. She just seemed to go with the flow moreso than I've seen her previously.

When introducing Annabel Lee, she gave her schtick about Poe, and blah blah, then she said "but he was married...not that it has every stopped me before..." That got a good rousing response. She was just so matter of fact about it.

What else....Edge was awesome....given my seat, not a prayer for the edge walk, BUT the verse and wail that were missing last year are BACK!! I was ecstatic when I heard her go there.

She dedicated Landslide to Rebecca and Liz, the former being I assume her friend for many years and I assume the latter being Rosenberg. I noticed a pic of her mom stayed up at the end for awhile. And I thought she was going to do something for her mom there, but she didn't then.

But after Love Is. She just stood at the microphone and guys...she pretty much lost it. It was heartbreaking...just started to tear and explain how the first half of this year has been so hard. She didn't say why, but we knew. And she thanked us and said that after tonight, and having this performance, she now knows that she will be ok. Totally paraphrasing there, and I'm sure the ledgies up close will give much better specifics, but it definitely had the feel of the Woodstock HAEWAFY ending.

Overall, she was amazing and I think she enjoyed being there as much or more as we enjoyed having her there.

I just got back - I think this post captures the spirit of it perfectly, i.m.o. I'm sure she's okay but she was still crying when she left and walked backstage, all the way. If I saw right Waddy put his arm around her to comfort her. But I think maybe it could be said that they were "healing tears," and I'm sure she felt the love and support from the fans who understood what was going on.

I'm too wiped to say more now; I just got back and I was a witness to a minor motorcycle accident on the way home so that's made things even more intense. The guy's okay but he was in a bit of pain and yeah, he had been drinking. If I may say so without sounding "crazy," it was one of those interesting coincidences that I happened to be there to scream "911" at the top of my freaking lungs until the cops finally showed up.

VERY brief notes on the concert itself, Stevie in my opinion did the whole f.u. to age thing THREE times tonight, screaming and holding notes at practically the top of her lungs for the ending of three (3) songs - I believe they were GDW, Moonlight and Edge. We're talking 15, 20 seconds here, maybe even slightly more. WHOO-hoo Stevie!
And - she knows we love her.

Oh and

STEVIE

IS

BACK!!!!

do you not have a cell phone?


i'm shocked by these observations:

1. no percussionist?
2. scott plunket has returned?
3. piano rig & organ rig have swapped positions on stage?

what is the "edge of seventeen" drum solo like?

Well my worst fears have been realised - she's still persisting with ****ing "Soldier's Angel". Everything about this song and her pompous accompanying spiel makes me want to vomit. It's time to stop following this woman.
Oh and lazy setlist as usual, she couldn't even attempt another tune or two from "the new album"...

me too! It bothered me tremendously when she opened with it! But why Rock n Roll, especially since she's doing all the new songs, which is wonderful but that takes away from songs she can do from the rest of her catalog. Sorry but there's no room in this set for covers. It needs to be ALL STEVIE. I still think Rooms on Fire would be a tremendous opener!!!

yeah kinda agree (but I'll always follow this woman)! I think "For What It's Worth" and "Secret Love" suck on stage. 'In Your Dreams" seems like such an obvious song to do live yet it remains unplayed. "Italian Summer" could be epic, too. But unfortunately, I'm not writing Stevie's set list (at least not yet) so I'm very happy she's still out there, looking and sounding great!

Really? Just because of SA?

I don't really understand any disappointment with the set list either - pretty much mirrors the Australian shows (which we don't need reminding were awesome), and from memory it's the first real US tour where the IYD songs are getting a run? Seems fair enough to me

[WildHearted]

Personally, I think that set list sounds pretty wonderful. Yeah, we all have our pipe dreams about what song should be included - but she added two new songs from the last time I saw her, I think, so I personally wouldn't be complaining. And all of the songs she has in the set from IYD are some of my favorites, except for Ghosts Are Gone.

Now I"m even more upset that I won't be seeing her this tour.

Thanks everyone for the reviews! Her quip about married men had me cackling, and the way she ended the concert is so very touching. I hope everyone who went had a good time.

[skimmy]

I am soooo happy she is doing a full EO17! Can't wait for our show in Detroit in that beautiful theater!

To all who went: what is the merchandise situation? Anything new or different?

[ragrsrocalot]

Thanks for the reviews. Sounds like Stevie put on a great show. I'm getting psyched for tonight.

I'm puzzeled also. I want to say Stevie, but she said she didn't start smoking until the 80's, and the picture looks like it was taken before that. The smile, and the hands look like Stevie, but I don't recall the hairstyle. If it is her Mom, the resemblance is stricking.

[STEVEHEDRICK]

any new tour merch anyone?

What's this about?

To you and anyone else going tonight to PNC...dress VERY lightly as I'm sure everyone knows it's going to be close to 100 today, and PNC retains alot of heat and humidity under the roof. It's not close enough to the ocean to get a sea breeze.

I'll be in the air conditioned Beacon Theater Monday night.
