It had to have been very interesting backstage when her set was done.. .
If anyone has a video of L&L from tonight, I would love to see the expression on her face as they did it... She knew exactly what she was doing...
She is certainly a class act with balls of brass. "_)

Twirl On!!

Or it's very possible that she and Rod agreed beforehand that she was moving it back to her set. I HIGHLY doubt that she just sprung it on him.

For those that were at the show, did she do the normal intro of saying she's not doing a Greatest Hits tour anymore? I'm guessing she didn't because her set (with two exceptions) is a greatest hits tour. I'm guessing the change of moving "Leather & Lace" back to her set is because most of the people don't know or care about "For What It's Worth". These are mostly Rod Stewart fans, so it makes sense to do a set that focuses on her most popular hits.
Did she come out to do "Young Turks" with him or has that been dropped?

I was at the Pittsburgh show last night and I agree. I will never go to a show where she is an opening act. It looked like a big crowd and I usually get floor seats, but I'm short so this time I thought I'd go up some. We were to her right in section 112 row D. There were actually a row of empty seats in front of us. We had the biggest drunken jerks behind us and he spilt beer all over me before the show even began. then halfway thru they put their feet on the seats beside me. I could have killed them. I was going crazy when Stevie came out and no one around me even stood up. I wanted to bust out of the seat and dance, but the crowd wasn't with me. I hated it. I yelled and held up my hands and danced in my seat. I tried to take pictures, but the old farts in suits beside me kept staring at me. They ended up moving to the row in front of us. What the hell did you come for? She did Leather and Lace with her vocal coach and it was beautiful. No Rod duets. No for what it's worth either. She sounded great on Soilders Angel. Best live I've heard so far. She sounded good, but seemed tired. We stayed for most of Rod, leaving to beat the crowds during Maggie May. He was very good and I enjoyed it, but I hated the crowd. I think it's demeaning to Stevie to be an opening act and then no duets. It was weird for me. I've seen Stevie/Mac many times since 1983 and this just didn't feel right to me. But she was wonderful and seemed very happy to be there last night.
The only other thing I didn't care for was, I wanted the wounded warrior t-shirt, but it was a baby doll and I didn't think I could fit into it. They need to make them regular size.

I bought a baby doll t shirt that is gray with a picture of Stevie on it and the word HOLLYWOOD and some flasy pics on it for $45.00. I'll never be able to wear it because I'm a big guy but it makes a good wall decoration. Eventually I'll probably give it to my neice to wear.

Probably because I'm a big guy(fat, bulky) no one ever tells me to sit down. During the Boston show on July 10, I stood for most of the show. Sometimes I'd look behind me and everyone was sitting. I imagined them giggling to themselves watching this big heffer(me) of a guy dancing in front of them though.

yeah it was odd to be sitting for half the show and then for those people to be such jerks like kind of ruined my night. i wouldnt have been so mad if i didnt have on white pants and flip flops so standing in pop and being wet during the stevie show really p*ssed me off. i agreee karma sucks thats for sure!!

I wonder why they dropped the duets? Especially if she's doing L&L in her own set. This seems like something more than just vocal rest is going on. Rod is no longer introducing her, no duets, etc...I wonder if she didn't like him calling her a "support act" in his recent interview and this is related to that??

[kak125]

yeah you do wonder why they dropped the duets but it wouldnt surprise me if his comment p*ssed her off a bit. seriously though for this tour they should alternate and have her be the headliner the one night and then him the next. i saw sheryl crow/john mayer a few years back and they did this and i loved it.

Her playing first is ok with me. When they were doing the duets and he was introducing her, I think it made it seem like a more "inclusive" environment though. When Stevie and Don did their short tour (which I much prefer over this), I think Stevie did it the right way even though Don played first every night.

yeah that is true and on the way out i heard many people say that they couldnt believe stevie/rod didnt do any duets together and that it seemed like 2 seperate shows. it was odd for them not to mention each other at all.

Sorry to hear that.Leave it up to the drunks to ruin a show.

BAN BOOZE at concerts.People got to grow up and enjoy and have fun without getting drunk.

I had a few in back of me at one of Stevie's shows beaching at us in my row to sitdown.We just ignore them and they shutup.

At one of the last tours I accidently picked up the brite red Stevie tee.It was a V-neck.
I put it on last minute to go to another Stevie show and find out from my friends it was a girls tee.It fit me ok on top but my belly was showing.LOL.....

I was not going to turn back home to changed it because we were runing late already.
Nobody at the Mohegan Sun did not notice the shirt was short.

What gets me .I wish they make all tee's V-neck.Or some of them.I can't stand the regular ones.They make me feel like they are choaking me.

I'm glad to see L&L is back in the set.

[kak125]

hey macfanforever - those people that were being a-holes werent drunk at all they werent even drinking. they must have taken my sister's pop that was on the ground and poured it on my seat. lol i was drinking but i never get drunk at concerts these days because i like to remember the show - ha! i noticed during rod's set they moved to the end of the row which everybody around us was happy about but they sat the entire time so i cant imagine they saw any part of rod's show since everybody was on their feet the entire time.
