Less not is Mirror, Mirror. I am not sure what you all think but that too just rocks for me.

Converted my Mother from a casual "I'll bop my head if I hear one of their more well known songs" listener to a fan of Lindsey so that was definitely a job well done :P Even if they didn't perform my favourite song (Silver Springs, as though it needed to be pointed out hehe).

I saw them at both their Dublin shows last October, that was my first time seeing them. Lindsey absolutely stole the show, eveyone said so, but Stevie definitely had some very powerful moments and it was magical to see her right before my eyes. They're both such legends to me! I think Lindsey made a bigger impact because of his interaction with the crowd up at the front of the stage. Stevie kind of acted a little bit like we weren't there... Can't wait to see them again

Silver Springs came and went from the setlist as far as I know, depending on how Stevie was feeling on the night. They performed it the first night in Dublin but not the second, when Stevie wasn't on top form. Don't worry though, you'll get your chance!

Welcome to the board, by the way!

Oooo! Same tour! I saw them a little earlier than that in Manchester in November. It was a good tour :P Unfortunately for me I was nowhere near the front. In fact I was up in the gods with the noise folk. But it was still amazing. I would probably deny this in person but on this board I'm not ashamed to say I burst into tears when they appeared on stage and didn't stop crying until well into the third song (Gypsy, Rhiannon and Dreams were the first three). It was almost like an out of body experience, to be actually watching them on stage where I'd previously only be sat in my bedroom with my vinyl dreaming about it (I'd be the only one in the audience. But bugger it, it's my fantasy lol). I think all of them stand out in their own way, even though Lindsey definitely is the more flamboyant. John has this amazing err of "Yeah. I'm cool. I know it. But I'm not going to show it". You have to love that silent superiority :P And Mick.. He's with Lindsey in the child club. He picks up his sticks and you see the small boy he used to be and the glee on his face. It's magical.

She mustn't have been on top form during the show I went to then. Pity I hope I do get my chance! They need to tour again. Preferably tomorrow (wishful thinking :P). But obviously as we've learned with the band, you know not to expect anything to happen until it's already happened. But one can hope. Hopefully I'll be there in the front row next time, waving my Buckingham Nicks vinyl sleeve and a sharpie just in case Lindsey decides to pause the show just for me (haha! Yeah right!).

Okay. I'm getting carried away with myself here. No wonder people refer to me as Gob Almighty in real life. I don't know when to shut up hehe. Thank you, by the way! I signed up a while ago but I completely forgot about it being the scatterbrain/technophobe that I am

I absolutely know what you mean! I was crying before they even got on stage. I just couldn't believe it was finally happening for me.

Very wise words

But one can hope. Hopefully I'll be there in the front row next time, waving my Buckingham Nicks vinyl sleeve and a sharpie just in case Lindsey decides to pause the show just for me (haha! Yeah right!).

He just might I think I've seen photos of him kneeling on the stage signing things at his solo shows...? We'll keep hoping!

Yes, he does do that at the end of the show sometimes.

NO, the plodding beat...nothing about says "rocker" to me.

What a legend

I had to vote for "Everybody finds out", it was my favorite from SYW, of course I have something to complain about, I feel that the song is sawed off the moment it really starts to rock, and I'm still waiting for an uncut version to see the light, which goes on for 20 seconds or more after the abrupt fade out from the album.

What about Angel? For Stevie it is a rocker. And it doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
