I was there last night and I was absolutely loving it. My seats sucked but just the same I think that maybe out of the 3 Stevie shows I've been to so far, this one was the best! I could FEEL Stevie's energy all the way in the back!

Two things I'd like to mention that I don't think have been covered yet -
I thought the harmonies between Stevie and "the girls" on "If Anyone Falls" were STUNNING. That was SO good!


Stevie did something that I thought was very clever during Stand Back.
Right before the part where she normally starts spinning, she started kind of hobbling around the stage "like an old woman." You start thinking to yourself, "Well - I guess there aren't going to be any spins or twirls this time around. She IS 60 now, after all." That, of course, was EXACTLY when she launched into her spins, and she was like, "YEP! SIXTY! " (There were two high-kicks also, one of which was shoulder-height.)

Anyway I totally agree with everything else everyone said, except that to be completely honest I really did think that Rhiannon dragged a little bit. The "Spirits" may have been with her during "Gold Dust Woman" - but I think maybe they went backstage for a snooze during Rhiannon. I hope she'll always have it as a part of her show but I could easily imagine her thinking "Oh Christ here we go again - I wish I had never written this song. " But for every single other song, I think her energy level was VERY high and she was having a very good time.

Long story short - just take everything the negative critics have been saying lately and turn it exactly upside-down. This show was just as good as could BEE!
