Well Boston was quite the show. She always does incredibly well here. The fans are beyond amazing. I stood for the entire set, only sitting once for the piano intro to Rhiannon. I was never told to sit, nor did I need to considering so many others were standing. It was truly awesome.

I gotta say, I like the whole rock n' roll thing at the beginning. Not Fade Away blends nicely into RnR.

Rock N Roll - This is definitely a good opener. I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't heard it 1,000x in concert already. I noticed that she lowered the vocals down a key on this. She played her tambo and went to both sides of the stage. She was extremely animated and happy. You can really tell how muxh fun she's having on the road, singing the new stuff.

Enchanted - WHY? WHY? WHY? I was hoping we would never see this ever again, I guess I was wrong. Its even worse than it ever was, she avoided all high notes. SUCH a dud.

Now she did the whole "this is not a greatest hits" tour speech. I always find it interesting to see what other, more casual fans think of this statement. I never saw anyone roll their eyes or say anything out loud.

Secret Love - Definitely better than last year. I like Brett playing the backing guitar on this one. I love this song on the record, but the live version doesn't really match up. However, I still love it.

Dreams - I really don't think I can enjoy this song anymore. Overkill, problems of a die hard stevie fan.

Moonlight - She told the entire story, going back to Lady from the Mountains. One interested thing she said was "I didn't just write a few verses, I wrote an entire song." referring to LFTM. I noticed that before the speech she grabbed the boa and put it on her left arm. Any idea why she's doing this? It seems so random, she did the same thing at Mohegan. My wild theory is that its her mother's. Anyway, this song kills live. She did an awesome wail at the end, which segways right into GDW beautifully.

Gold Dust Woman - She did the high note on "Hoooooooooome" and did the same old dance at the end. It looked like it was hurting her to bend over, I'm guessing back issues. She did very well in the heels, though.

Soldier's Angel - You've probably read the story by now, but it was an emotional trainwreck. I knew beforehand that there was going to be a soldier in the audience, but I had no idea he was injured so badly. Everyone was really choked up, extremely emotional.

Stand Back - ROCKED!!! This deserves to stay in the middle of the set. There was a GIANT man directly in my view of Stevie whenever he stood, same thing at Mohegan actually, so I was trying to poke my head around. She did some faster twirls, much better performance than last year. She introduced us to the cape, which surprisingly really gets people excited haha!

more to come...

security was horrible, did manage a handshake though.

From my perspective, security was no problem at all. Everyone was allowed to take pictures and video and no one ever told them to stop. The guy in front of me held up a large i pad to record Stevie, and me and Caitlin were annoyed by his height.

One security guard at the stage where I was was a video nazi. Literally anytime he saw someone holding a phone or camera up for more than 30 seconds, he would go over to them and try to see if they were recording and if he thought they were he was like "NO VIDEO!" I swear I was afraid to take time to focus my camera on my phone because I didn't want him to flip out.

It's strange to me, because when Lindsey did his speech about their being no new album "YET" she rolled her eyes. Hers is not a greatest hits tour today, but unless we get an incredible surprise, she's going to be on a greatest hits tour very soon. So, don't turn fans off of greatest hits tours, unless you're going to follow through.

Some of these pics made it seem as if you were standing on the side of the stage when you took them. Were you?

Five years after he first met her while being treated for a traumatic brain injury at Walter Reed Hospital and Bethesda Hospital, Hyannis resident and Iraq war veteran Vincent Mannion-Brodeur was reunited with rock star Stevie Nicks.

Nicks, who performed at the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston last Tuesday, has kept tabs on Mannion-Brodeur's progress. She invited him onstage with his family and dedicated her new song "Soldier's Angel" to Mannion-Brodeur and all the wounded warriors. Mannion-Brodeur was serving with the 82nd Airborne Division in March 2007 when he was severely wounded.
