Opinions much aapreciated!

PNC Bank Arts Center (Holmdel) is a very nice venue... it's actually quite beautiful when the weather is good... it's considered an outdoor venue, but there is a roof that protects the entire arena, except for the lawn seats.. my only complaint is that the stage is set back kinda far, so even if you have 1st row seats, Stevie will still be quite far from you (about the distance of 8th row in any other venue)..

Hopefully it is (and i'd imagine it would be). How often is a show on a Monday generally?

I actually would see shows closer to you if possible. Holmdel is nice and I disagree about the stage being set far back. I had second row for SYW and leaned on the stage they entire time. Stevie and Lindsey were right there. Stevie was very ill so she was not too into the audience but Lindsey? He was playing right in front of us and I put my hand on his boot the entire time he played his Come solo. **swoon* Damn the memories.
It is a nice venue but in North Jersey. Sometimes, depending on what other shows are booked it could be considered a NY show and industry people be there. I imagine they will play JOnes Beach or some other NYC venue but if not, this could be the show where lots of suits attend.
Other random thoughts about the place. I really like the set up. The stage was low and I am short so that rocked. Security was fantastic and did not bother us once. There was a roof over the seats in case of rain, unlike Jones Beach, where we and the band were rained on most of the night.
Parking was expensive if you wanted to be close. Free if you wanted to park far away and catch a bus. Yup, a bus. like a schoolbus. They pick you up and drive you up to the entrance which was different. It is also easy to find if you are travelling, it is directly off of the parkway. Overall, it was one of my favorite shows...the venue being a small part of why.

Kelly, let me correct myself.. it's not actually the stage itself that is set far back, it's the mic stands that are quite a distance away.. When you compare it to other venues in the area, like Jones Beach, MSG, Continental Airlines Arena, etc, the stage "setup" at PNC is much further away than at those other places...

Thanks for the info - you, too, Brian! I think I'm going to hold out for some closer cities...

One thing I'm glad about this for, is the people who can't make it to Vegas. Although I wish everyone and their mom could come to Vegas, I'm so very happy that those who can't will still have an opportunity to see Stevie, and for reasonable prices. Especially, too, the poeple in Nawlins, oops, Louisiana, cause apparently Mac never goes there!

Good gravy. Do not remind me about mic stands and Jones Beach. Normally the shows there are super but the last SYW show there? When Stevie was just getting over her sickness was so bad. They had their mics pushed back as far as they could from the edge..seriously Stevies mic was practically on top of Mick's drum case. I wanted to cry when I saw it but I understood why. Miss Stevie was hoping not to be rained on. Lindsey did not appear to care and kept walking out when he did not have to sing. The SYW little dance thing was waaayyyy back directly in front of Sharona to avoid the raindrops.
The show before that at JB was super fab and yes, the mics were very close to the edge of the stage.

Crap, I should try to stay on topic. I wonder why a list of these show dates has not been forthcoming? This trickle effect is sort of annoying.

I was at both those shows too Kelly... i remember the rain in 2004, too
Stevie must have been wearing about 50 layers that night, but she looked gorgeous...
Both great shows, though... The stage setup was quite different in 2003 vs. 2004... i actually liked the way they did it in 2004 (besides the mic stands).. it made the Jones Beach stage look bigger or something..
