Chris, you wrote a great review. Did you happen to send it in to nicksfix?
That site seems to be a good repository for fan reviews.

Thanks! Yep I sent it in. Someone also posted another great review at Stevie-Nicks.info

Talks a lot about the technical difficulties, which I think were significant..

I didn't think there were that many technical problems and I was right in front of Stevie during the entire set. Take it from me, the concert was great and Stevie was electrifyingly good. End of story. Believe me some people can find fault with perfection. Again, it was a charity show for gosh sakes! What was noteworthy was that Jacks (and the bands) raised over $40,000 for autistic children.

Not that this or that wasn't up to par.

The only thing that I noticed was that one of the two keyboard players was not in synch at the beginning of two songs so it sounded as if Stevie was singing off key when in actuality she was not. I attributed that to the fact that Brett was not on tour with Stevie this summer and may have come in cold, at the last minute, as a favor to Stevie.

Can't wait to see if she does Vegas again.

Some people enjoy discussing, writing and reading about the technical aspects of a show.

I do , It's part of my trade.Of course Stevie's performance is very important,she tries to do the best, when technical problems happen.This reminds me of about that bad sound and video problem at FM Say you Will 2004 jones beach show,also Stevie's CBS Superbowl crappy audio problem sucks.Stevie was very lucky at this years Jones Beach appearence, I thought the sound/video crew did an awesome job dealing with the weather and the hightides.
On the other note , hey thanks for the awesome photos, and I hope somebody capture the show on tape for us to share.also I stayed tune to the jackfm stream for 5 hours, they played Stevie once as I was tuned in.it's a nice radio format anyway, New York lost theirs on WCBS FM,to oldies.As I know of Connecticut has none in the jackfm format.thats why CT radio sucks big time.how many top 40 crap stations and hip hop stations we really nead.

The point is that it was a benefit concert that raised a lot of money for a worthy cause and there weren't any real "difficulties" technical or otherwise.

The critics are just making much to do about nothing. Stevie rocked Irvine!

When you write critics, are you referring to armchair critics or the professional variety?
I haven't read any bad reviews other than those posted to blog.

MacFan,

Both SNLB and I filmed a lot of the concert. I have a solid 20 minutes myself. The only thing is, I have dial-up and I can't figure out how to upload it. SnapFish won't let me and one of the other services I tried said it would take days.

I have an 8 minute video of Gold Dust Woman from the show that is killer and would love to share with the community but don't know how. Any suggestion on how to do that with dial-up. You might want to check out my photos on snapfish too.

Glad to hear you all enjoyed the show. She looks amazing as usual.

carol7lynn · #72 08-22-2007, 06:40 PM

What is an armchair critic and who posted a bad review?

CarolC

SandyMac · #73 08-22-2007, 09:21 PM

CarolC, I sent you a PM about getting around dial up.

Carol, you keep saying it was a charity concert like it was something in someone's home or a bake sale or something. This was a huge radio-sponsored event in an amphitheater. Believe me, Stevie got paid for this gig. $40K is a nice donation and great that some of the $$ went to charity, but that's about $4 per ticket.

In other words, this was not a "charity concert", but a moneymaking concert with very small proceeds going to charity. Given that, it is perfectly reasonable for a critic to note things that went wrong. I'm not saying Stevie did anything wrong, and I'm sure it was a great show, but I disagree with you that somehow there should be no criticism because a tiny percentage of the profits went to a charity.

Exactly! ITA. Also, quite a few other people heard these technical glitches, so obviously they were there. The sound is not ever great in the front row anyway.
