Hey all! Went to the DTE show last night--it was pretty good. Usual songs--opened with Stand Back--no Fall From Grace. Loved Crash and Face the Promise--and I am not a Dave Matthews Band fan!!! But she seemed to really love doing these songs

As for security--they were a BITCH Camera nazi's to the hilt and I had the wonderful luck of having a security guy sitting 3 seats down from me all night--so I didn't get but a couple of pics--and I was dying to take some

Highlights would have to be some chick jumping on the stage and kind of hugging Stevie and telling her how much she loved her etc. After she jumped back into her front row seat security was all over her. Stevie started in on Landslide saying how special it was because of her father etc. and while she was singing they were trying to get this chick kicked out and she wouldn't budge. They finally got her out but when the song was over Stevie let them have it and told them how uncool they were and was it worth all the ruckus to ruin her special song etc. We all cheered because seriously they did ruin the song since all eyes were on security trying to remove this chick. And while she shouldn't have jumped on stage she did go right back to her seat...... Stevie was pissed though!! She also mentioned earlier in the show that she was hoarse although when she was singing you couldn't tell. She didn't look like she felt well to me though....

The other highlight would be that I got to shake her hand during the Edge walk again and I gave her a heart bracelet that I tried giving her at the last show but she had gone over me. She grabbed my hand and looked me in the eye and thanked me about 3 times--I just smiled like a goof!! But it was cool!! So here are the ONLY pics I got that weren't blurry--bummed about not being able to take pics but the concert was awesome and I would def. go again. This is probably one of the first concerts I've actually watched in a long time instead of trying to take pics the whole night!! ha ha

OMG, Amy awesome picks!!! I adore the ones in white, I love how you can see the whole outfit down to the tan boots. Awesome!!! You're right though, no Fall From Grace. She probably had to shorten the set list cuz Boston wouldn't get off the stage!!! ha ha.

luv,
Shel

Thanks Amy...your photos are absolutely gorgeous! The lighting looks so perfect compared to the shots I got in Chicago. That sucks that security was really tight with the cameras. In Chicago they did not say a word and almost everyone was taking flash photos. Another strange thing about the Chicago show...I've never seen so many people walk past the front of the stage during a show. There was a constant flow of people walking past the front of the stage throughout the night snapping photos with their camera or just waving and yelling to Stevie. I have never seen such loose security at ANY show.

Yeah, they had big white hand written signs at all the entrances, No Cameras: Artist Request. I still snuck in the big zoom one and the little one. I got some decent ones, but man, I had a security guard stalking me all night, so I had to be stealthy! By Edge of 17 though, I didn't have a problem, so I got most of my picks during the last three songs.

luv,

Great pics!

Wow, you got to experience an "If you f*ck with my people, I'm gonna get really f*ckin' angry" Stevie. Awesome.

I know it must have been distracting especially for Stevie and those closest to the stage. Maybe they could have paused the show and waited to start Landslide until all the ruckus was over. Michele

great photos...too bad about security. Reading PA security was cool, we were at the stage and a gal even took a pic of the security, they didn't mind at all.....

Agreed TIM, they were loose as far as photos BUT the people near me got thrown out for not moving when asked?? Literally, bald guy and another guy (thought he was Vin Diesel) threw a couple of them out. They did not make a stink though in Chicago during songs. The lack of an Edge walk did bother me since I've sen her for 30 years NOW and this was one of the only times I've never seen an edge walk by Stevie?? She even does it at Tinley Park and thats a very tall stage. It must have been the barrier between the stage and the first row at the Charter One that prevented that?? Last year, at the same gig, she did an Edge walk in Chicago. I am surprises that she didnt come down between the barrier to meet and greet, BUt she didnt.

They are the same way here too. If Axl Rose wouldn've been such a jerk 17 years ago here in St. Louis, we still would be able to take pictures at concerts. He ruined it for all of us. And also record companies and management have alot to do with it too. We pay good money for tickets and all kinds of stuff at the show, and we can't take pictures???? It's insaine!

thanks for the pics!!!
