I agree. people dont know any better.one time I had to cover my flash on one of those old film cameras with some electrical tape,

Stevie probably noticed a lot of photos being taken the night before and complained. Maybe it's a case of vanity as she gets older?

Thats what I figure ,and I dont blame her,If I was in her shoes ,I probably do the same.Who in the hell wants 1000 flashes going off in their face at the same time. I know I dont.Like again people dont know any better,

lake compounce was a nice place for concerts,I've seen a couple country concerts way before Stevie performed there in 1989.

The camera thing,Hide it and keep the flash turned off,and beware before you take it out.I remember at the Borgata in AC at the 2007 Crystalvisions combo night shows,at fridays show ,the security did not give a rats a$$ about pictures taken,but at saturdays show,it was a different story,The iron curtain came down.they came around and warned everybody to do not take pictures and if you continue ,we will take your cameras.I dont understand what happen there ,on day cold,and the next day ,hot. about people taking photos .

yes I saw some great shows there saw The Scorpions there also after Stevie show in 1989 i saw Heart and Bonnie Raitt and Jeff Healey Band there as well. I remember too back in 1991 i copied the ticket that i had for the whole lotta trouble tour 1991 before returning it. Stevie 's show in 1991 was suppose to happen on July 25th 1991 that was suppose to happen got cancelled the day of the show that was the only concert that got canceled the day of the show I had row k which is eleventh row center that ticket too was $27.25. I remember though they said on the radio that the show was cancelled due to weather. but we all knew it was the management and money problems they were having it at the time like you said above.

I don't want to lose my camera never took a camera to the concerts before always wanted to get nice pics don't want to chance me losing the camera.

Ok thanks for the help in remembering that show that never happen in 1991 ,I remember my mom called me at work when she heard the bad news on tv about the show got canceled,I was very upset and looking forward to see Stevie that night ,after hearing the bad news ,I think I broke up like a baby in front of my friends at work.
They thought somebody died in my family.Speaking of canceled Stevie concerts ,Back in 1994 Street Angel tour at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs,NY was canceled do to a wicked thunderstorm that ripped through the area earlier that day.
Yes I know ,I was there.Btw,The camera thing ,leave it home if worried about losing it.The ledge will be plastered with photos of all the concerts anyway.Half of the time 100 percent better shots what I can take.

i was there, too. my friend and i flew out to NYC then drove to Reading on Friday, hoofed it to Cape Cod for Saturday, then went to Mohegan Sun on Sunday, then the Boston Marathon that Monday. what a fun time it was! and then 7 months later, i moved on out.


despite the "difficulty to get tickets" - Mohegan, overall, is a nice venue. i have to give them that credit. i'm looking forward to seeing the MGM Foxwoods Theater. it seems like everyone plays there these days - they get usually at least 2 or 3 names a week coming through it seems.

however, just don't ask me where my seats are. haha

Hi UnitingNations,welcome to the board,and hope I will see you at the show.

[UnitingNations]

Definitely! A little hello's beforehand must be arranged. Lords know I'll be in panic mode and want to get out to the show early just to make sure I am there. I can see myself arriving around 5 or so and then running around like a crazy man ... just "because."

[Macfanforever]

Bump,The time is ticking,its getting near showtime,I can't wait.

[vivfox]

I'm not gonna try to get my ticket till one hour before the show starts.

[Macfanforever]

Hum thats a good idea,for a upgrade for me.But I have not heard anymore about how are the ticket sales are going for these three east coast shows,are they selling.also the advertising is very slim for these shows,Will here in Connecticut,I remember last month when Patty Labelle came to Foxwoods Her ad's were on tv and the radio none stop for two months up until the show.Or is it the radio and tv station I watch don't support Stevie's ads.I hope Stevie's tickets are selling.also good luck getting yours.

[keineg]

the MGM/Foxwoods show is selling fine. Although - remember - soooo many of the casino shows are comp tickets anyway.

WHCN 105.9 had a ticket giveaway in early June I think... I totally missed out on that one and only learned of it after the fact. I'm hoping they (or another station) does another give away as summer rolls on. I've managed to see Stevie a few times going that route. I guess if all else fails, I'll be in line behind vivfox one hour before showtime. Friends of mine just did it at Mohegan for Michael Buble and ended up in the front row. Dream can come true I suppose...
