She also spoke after Insider and said that normally she doesn't talk because she's the guest, but since it was her last night she wanted to say a few words. She said that when Tom called and asked her to play a "few shows", she said of course, but a few turned into 27 shows. Then she talked about how this was her hometown, that it all started in San Francisco. Then she said how amazing it had been to be on stage with Tom all summer and to watch and learn from him, and that God had blessed her.

What a thrill. And dinner/drinks with amber and goldenbraid.

And then you forgot the rest, how she kicked way much extra ass. She got stronger, vocally, with every show. And this was the pentultimate. Random people were silently frozen in disbelief when she did her strobe DCRHNM dance. Everyone liked Stevie, but no one knew she was going to kick it out like she did. I felt the energy change from "Oh, Stevie Nicks, I like her!" to "Damn!, I like Stevie Nicks, but I didn't know she could kick this much ass!"
And it's always fun to note the palpable difference of when people hear Insider start, and about 30 seconds later when they realize this is some serious sh*t. They quiet down, there are some disbelieving murmurs... People fall under the spell...but strangely, my very favorite is when she sings her little voice on the backup for "Learning to Fly" - you can so much hear that it is her, yet it goes so well with the song. It gives the song an even more distinctive qualitah. *little voice, little sweet nasal high Stevie voice! Adds fun to any singing party! *
F*cking Sweeeeeeeeet. Supa Sweeeet. The extra applause when she comes out...priceless...."Everybody likes Stevie Nicks!" - Amber
