Only issue is that originally Stevie changed outfit after these 2 and in retake she wore her Beauty and the Beast outfit, so you won't get to see her perform in this new (I think) outfit.

I wonder if maybe they just needed to re-record the audio only? I'm hoping the finished product has this new outfit!

Thanks a lot Tynan for the review, I'm happy you had such a good time and obviously I can't wait to hear Beautiful Child with the MSO.

Sounds fantastic. Thanks, Tynan! Have fun at your next show!

Forgive me and others for late replies but we didn't finish until about 2:30 this morning and I had to leave my hotel by 10:00 so we are tired!

Outside the Rain: I was in awe, seeing Stevie for first time in an outfit I had never seen and in platforms, great and really nailed it.

Dreams: It was dreams - orchestra worked well and added depths...but it was still Dreams, you have to love it but I'm a bit over it.

Rhiannon: Orchestra intro was fantastic, I loved it so much and it gave me goosebumps, she nailed it again and got in to it which was good to see.

Enchanted: I love this song, so fun and easy to sing and dance along to again she really nailed the vocals.

Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You: Very powerful vocals and just fantastic for one of my favourite songs. Orchestra backed well here.

Stand Back: Fantastic, everyone gets in to this clasic and a concert wouldn't be complete without it.

If Anyone Falls: Great to hear Lori sing, again sounded perfect and was ecstatic when I heard the introduction. I had some idea it would be sung as I noticed Lori was onstage from the start.

Beautiful Child: The only real surprise of the night and kind of a dream. The orchestra was magical and so was mood and vocals, I just wish people wouldn't howl at her during a ballad like this!

Stop Draggin' My Heart Around: i can live without it but the orchestra worked really well, the song has just never worked for me.

Gold Dust Woman: Amazing version and I loved Stevie's shimmy with Waddy at the end where "she caught him in his web".

Fall From Grace: Vocals were too drowned out, if I didn't know the words I wouldn't have been able to understand her. Still a rocking version but I think orchestra could have been used better.

Landslide: I don't know if I like this or Lindsey's ccoustic version better, the orchestra worked well but it seemed maybe a bit too busy.

Edge of Seventeen: First time hearing or seeing the drum solo...interesting to say the least. Security were bastards during the Edge walk and only let first 3rows in.

Rock and Roll: Cool, but I wish she would put so much passion in her own song, Vanessa Carlton joined Lori, Jana and Sharona to sing back-up here. Really nice fun little song.

Beauty and the Beast: I think better than Vegas, probably due to Orchestra, amazing atmosphere, amazing vocals, amazing outfit.

After this we then got a retake of Outside the Rain and Dreams because of taping issues which were awesome because everyone was pumped and standing.

Only issue is that originally Stevie changed outfit after these 2 and in retake she wore her Beauty and the Beast outfit, so you won't get to see her perform in this new (I think) outfit.

I would first like to thank all the Ledgies I met last night for making it an enjoyable and comfortable experience and I hope I meet you guys again soon in either Brisbane or Sydney.

Lucy and Kristen (hope I spelt that right): I hope you have better luck meeting Stevie next time!

Dee: I haven't laughed so much in a long time...thank you.

Jayne: You are amazing, thank you so much for all your efforst with dinner and driving us around, it is really appreciated and I just wanted to make sure you knew that and don't worry I didn't get in trouble off Mum.

Right that's all for now.

Interesting to see If Anyone Falls back in the set

REALLY - did they f. with her people???

( I'm sorta making a little joke but also at least half-serious - I would think that she would have been a little annoyed by that. . . .
Then again she's been doing this for ages now and it must be a little spooky for her, to have all those people "swamping" her at once. It reminds me of that scene in "Superstar" - "what's the buzz, tell me what's happenin," etc. )
Anyway it sounds like it was a great show! And fun!

i totally agree with everything u sed
it was a pleasure meeting you and Jayne & Sandra especially
Marlene's not here but YOU ROCK GIRL!!!!

I've only ever done something like this once
in 98 a whole bunch of us from the official XF forums formed a group
and went to the movie premiere together @ midnight
i was only 15 but that was the highlight of my life

until last weekend
it is such a joy to spend time with people who love Stevie so much
and can MAKE FUN OF HER.............and not take it seriously
we all love her
that's all that matters

now where the f^ck is that DVD?
