There's as much a chance of her coming to Canada as there is her changing the set list

Waddy rocks that band and like she said, drives it like a Porsche. His guitar licks are as unmistakable as Lindsey's. It's not his fault she wants to stick to the safe stuff. Waddy ****ing rocks. Hard. Who do you propose she replace him with? Kenny G?
With respect to the OSOTM and Timespace sets, the Timespace set is very similar to the one she performs now. And while there may have been some variety in the OSOTM set, Stevie's performance was lacking. She was so zonked on klonopin that she stood at the microphone and sang in a strange monotone. I actually felt bad for her when I saw her on that tour. But hey, if that's your cup of tea, who am I to keep you down?
Also in regards to your response about my comment of the return of Fall From Grace (it did disappear for a while there) well that's what I get for trying to say something positive about the set. Whomever made the comment that the set is what it is was right on. As long as you go in with the expectation that she's not going to surprise you with any different songs and you're just happy to see her then I guess there's no reason for disappointment.

Waddy is not my cup of tea. I don't like the way he plays guitar at all. The Edge intro is a complete bore to me. Stevie has had the exact the same set for the past two years. Its getting very disappointing. I try to tell myself everytime to not expect anything, but theres always that little bit of hope that she may surprise us with Rooms on Fire or even Talk to Me. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing her everytime, but I don't understand why they can't rehearse at least ONE new song for the fans. Landslide, IMO, is completely unneccesary for a solo set. With that long GDW extension, she could have done at least 2 obscure songs.

Despite having the same old set list, Stevie was on fire last night. She looked and sounded fantastic.

On a side note- I totally had my own Paula-like leg warmer moment. During the Edge walk I was too close to the stage so she went over my head (got an eyeful of the Two Birds of Rhiannon). Her boots were close by though, so I copped a good feel of the velvet wonders whilst screaming "I touched her boots".

I just got back to Boston from Vegas. I had a blast!!

It was so much fun to meet so many Ledgies (and hopefully even convince some to stop lurking and start talking

). I was able to take a few pics with my camera phone, but as Ryan mentioned security was extremely tight (I've never seen a security guard as afraid as the one in front of us before Edge.) They aren't great, but I'll try to post them tomorrow.

I'll leave the reviews to those who are better at them. Everyone knows the set list. It was a treat for me....my first time hearing How Still My Love and If Anyone Falls live....and Lori being on stage. Stevie was amazing. Looked great, sounded great....I loved that she sang the "Storytellers" version of Edge...with the extra lyrics.

As Stevie said during the show, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" But a few things I learned:

-FM/Stevie fans are the most fun, loving fans I know.
-

-Don't count on ROF ever being in the set again.
-Although tequila is my friend, he doesn't get along with everyone.
-Apparently...only Catholics wear penguins

-You don't have to wear shoes to walk through Caesar's Palace...or at least while walking between bars.

-Neil looks 45, but he's only 25

-I heart Ledgies

I don't understand the thing about the concert being for charity so why would the setlist change. If the argument is that the show was for charity and that means a lot of casual or non-fans, then there is still no compelling reason to do Enchanted, Outside The Rain, Fall From Grace, Rock And Roll because they wouldn't know those songs anyway. So why not replace a couple of those for something new and different?

Me too, and I loved it last night. You can tell she really loves singing this one. She doesn't hit the high notes, but puts tons of energy into it.

She did this cool thing when she said "in your finery"....she took her shawl (Rhiannon shawl) and put it in front of her face like a veil. I loved it.

did they have the images of the horse and the doll during Rhiannon this time? I hope they did.

Yes! And I loved the video during Landslide, shots from her throughout her career.

I couldn't agree more. Waddy rocks the world in my book. I almost **** my pants when he returned to her band. So much energy. I seem to recall an interview where Stevie mentioned that they had considered playing Bella Donna on the TISL Tour and mutually decided against it because it would be too complicated to perform every night. So it seems like they make setlist decisions together. I think it's safe to "blame" both of them if you have any setlist issues. Wasn't it Waddy who convinced her she should be opening her shows with a hit and got her to trade out OTR/Dreams for SDMHA? I personally missed the traditional opener (though I do think the recent choice of Enchanted is good too).

Yes he also tried to convince her to open with Talk To Me, but he said she wouldn't do it, wasn't comfortable with it.

No, I didn't think she would at all, that is why I wasn't sad to miss it.

To me, benefit = same ol' setlist. Obvioso.

Well, I was sad you weren't there.

...And I still disagree with you guys about the benefit thing. If this was a typical "benefit" setlist, then it wouldn't have included HSML and IAF. No, this was the Caesar's "Dreams" setlist, with Rock And Roll replacing INTK. This is going to be the same setlist they will do in March.
