And they comped her. She gets this big room with a heart-shaped bed and mirrors on the ceiling.

I think she is doing these shows is she probably will play a new song or two off her up coming cd I think or its the same show we saw in 2007 and 2008. Or she is doing a private corporate concert in new york and decided to add a few shows in the area while she has the band there and make extra cash either way what ever her reason will try to be there always have been to me I am a big fan since I was 9yrs old back in 1979 now 40 yrs old still a big fan and have been going to her shows since 1986 rock a little tour so I hope to get a ticket for the foxwoods mgm grand show in CT. She can sing the phone book I am there. new cd or no cd will still her in concert if she is playing. Its a good thing to me to see her do these shows.

Well, I was trying to give a "practical" answer, but I have no doubt that Stevie has an absolute blast when she does these shows. (Including, by the way, hanging out with the band members; many of whom, I'm sure, she's come to love and feel as "family" towards, over the years.) Plus, as you said, the "East Coasters," and all the attractions that the East has; and getting a break from the West, etc. So SURE, I'm sure there's other, "less-practical" reasons involving having fun and her love for the fans, her band mates, and touring in general.

Afterthought: OH - and it's healthy!

She wants a new crew of hot blooded young men around her at all times.

She needs a good reason to wear her Frankenboks?

Those that got to see her in Barnes and Noble saw how much she enjoyed the interaction. I may have missed it, but I don't recall her doing that on the West Coast.

She does have a strong fan base in New York, Connecticut and Boston Area's not to mention the rest of the world too but it seems she always has a lot more dates in this area so glad she coming to connecticut.

Okay, where do I apply?

Well, how does she explain this to Fleetwood Mac? She gave up Eagles and more Fleetwood Mac tour to do her own tour for NO reason. You know Mick likes money. That would piss him off. He really doesn't get the songwriting royalties they do.

More than likely the shows will be the EXACT same show she did on the Crystal Visions tour with nothing different (the shirts and everything will most likely be leftovers as well). I would love that there was a reason for the shows like trying out new material or just wanting to do songs she's never done or hasn't done on stage in awhile. I'm planning on going even though the tickets are WAY too expensive. But I am hoping for something, ANYthing new, but I doubt that will happen. The fact is I have to go knowing that Stevie is an hour from my house and what if she does do something new and not seeing it, that would suck more than seeing the same show all over again!!

I totally agree with you
