SOUNDSTAGE recap - Page 4

[ . I ended up sitting next to one of the models. I played dumb because I had heard she was a model, but I wanted to see what she had to say.

At first, she told me that she was on a email list with Soundstage and I asked her some info so that I could get in on the action. Then she admitted that she was booked through her agency as a model and was booked for the whole season through Soundstage - so I don't think it was a Stevie thing, despite someone's comment about Lindsey not doing that. Anyway, she told me that she didn't know who Stevie was but looked her up the day before. She told me she was enjoying the show and really liked her. She was kind of tall and was blocking my view at first and I asked her if I could sneak in front of her and she said sure. I then went up to the stage after about the fourth song and that's where I stayed the whole night. Right in front of Stevie. The other models seemed a little bitchy but she was really nice and let all four of us up. So, we must have met the the criteria for being pretty enough!

Did she play dumb or was she just dumb

Did she says lile, " Wow Stevie Nicks, I heard he is great and have always wanted to see him." OR, my mom named me after Belle in Beauty and the Beast. Was her name Belle ???

Sorry for the cynicism, but when I hear this stuff I just go absolutely crazy knowing that 4 of you were there and I was NOT. Still crying.................

I'll wait for the broadcast and/or DVD...Who cares to hang around in a crowd that features models who may not even have any clue as to who is even playing up on the stage.

When you think about it, doesnt that make it sound as if those powers in charge may assume that Stevie fans are an ugly lot and need to sweeten the visual with the use of models?

Once again, these models were not hired only for the Stevie show. This girl specifically told me that she was hired to attend the ENTIRE 5th season of the Soundstage taping. She was hired by Soundstage, it had nothing to do with Stevie or Stevie's fans. She is going to see Matchbox 20 next, then Earth, Wind and Fire and she couldn't remember who after that. But, it's a good bet that if you watch the Soundstage episodes on TV for season 5, you will see these same people in the front few rows.

Also, she had a friend who was there in a hideous pink outfit. That girl brought her boyfriend, who was tall. They moved them from the second row off to the side so for asthetics purposes (either that or because her outfit was too ugly) and she got pissed and left the show because she didn't want to sit on the side.

The girl I talked to was not dumb, she was very nice and was nice to let us four up front since she admittedly was not a big fan. However, she was still complimentary and said Stevie was amazing, it was a great show and she had a good time. There were a few other bitchy ones that didn't look like they were having fun, but...

Overall, I agree that they should have given the seats to fans. That sucks. But, I wanted to stress that it was not only for the Stevie show, it is apparently something that Soundstage does for all it's shows.

I was there - 2nd row, quite frankly right in front of her microphone :-) I'll post a review later but I'm really tired after the trip back. I talked to Daniel (who runs stevie-nicks.info) last night on the phone so he posted some info about the show on his site.

Undoubtedly the best moment was when Stevie did the Edge Walk. The two models in front row had me come up to first row after realizing that Stevie was shaking hands. They backed up so I had plenty of space to greet Stevie. Although it wasn't my first Edge Walk I still told Stevie "I love you very much. Thank you very much for doing this." She replied "Thank you, I love you too." When she went to shake my hand I put my other hand on top of her two for a better connection. Best part of it, there was a cameraman right smack in my face when I had my exchange with Stevie :-) The girls and my friend who I was with all said that Stevie spent more time with me than anybody else so I'm really hoping I'll be the posterboy on the edgewalk part of Eof17 :-)

The taping was tremendous. Stevie was as witty as usual....when the make-up artists would come on stage Stevie would fake bite and snarl at them. Her and Vanessa had tremendous synergy on stage. They did Circle Dance and The One together twice each. Then Vanessa came out for Rock & Roll. Stevie was obviously having a field day with Vanessa's revealing top. They were pretty goofy together ;-)

And yes, Stevie really had a thrilling look on her face when she sang "hike up your skirt and show me the world." She had that cute Stevie smile on her face ;-)

It was a great, great night....no doubt about it :-)

^EdgeWalk, were you in the second row in a blue shirt? With a girl in an orange shirt? I think that I was right near you. I was at the stage in a black camisole. If this was you, the girls that let you through to shake hands weren't models, they were actually fans. I was talking with them and they were really nice.

They did NOt do it at Lindsey's show three years ago. I was there. It was all true blue Stevie and Lindsey fans, since it was sponsored by WTTW and you could buy the tickets. Same thing, had to wait and show ID, BUT there were no models there. I was in front row, blue shirt to the very left of Lindsey (not the guy in blue in the middle). You can see Patty, ME and several true Liddy Buck and Stevie fans and we were not crowded out by Models. This is making me even more crazy than I thought possible to think that a "model" got my seat??

Glad you had a great time, Edge! Thanks for giving us the heads up on the models. When (and if) we see that DVD, I'll be looking in that front row, going "hmm, model or fan?"

Hi, glad to hear you were at the show, too :-)

No, I was in a brown dress shirt. The girl I was with was blonde, shorter, and wearing a light brown dress with boots. I was like 3 people over from her mic on the rightside. But the two girls who let me up were models. We started talking to them and the other models in the front row (on the rightside of the stage) before the show - each said that an email went out to modeling agencies asking if any young models like Stevie Nicks and/or Fleetwood Mac. haha. The two girls that gave me their spots during the Edge Walk were from Chicago though, they were very nice, down-to-earth, and of course pretty ;-) haha

I was going by actual playing time based on the set, which looks like a length Mac would play. But obviously I wasn't there, so I'll take your word for it.

danax6 · #56 10-26-2007, 04:28 PM

Honestly, I can understand to a degree why those tv people would want people up front that are easy on the eyes, as ridiculous as that sounds, but what really bugs me is that none of those people are fans. Not that you need a room full of Stevie Nicks crazies, surely that wouldn't come across well on tv either, but were those dummies supposed to clap and cheer at the appropriate times also? It's a bit contradictory to ask people to stand up and cheer loudly when you have a bunch of people there that don't even know who Stevie Nicks is.

And it makes it more surprising to me that Stevie did the Edge walk. Old habits die hard I guess.

Were you on the right side of the stage facing the stage or if you were on the stage? I was directly in front of Stevie's mic and the models were to my left. Which would be right side if I was on the stage.

I was on Stevie's right....which means the audience's left side of the stage :-) like 3 people over from the microphone stand in 2nd row

You know how 1st row had a gap of like 4 seats in the middle so there were 4 "2nd row" seats that actually were 1st? I was one of those seats :-)

camchristo · #60 10-26-2007, 04:38 PM

You were right by us! I was in the aisle seat in the second row. When they closed the gap and put the seats together in the second row, I was sitting right next to the african american model. You must have been close to her then. In the beginning, she was standing in front of me and she was so tall that I was having a hard time seeing. I asked her if I could get in front of her and she said sure. So, that's how I ended up at the stage all night!
