Mohegan Sun-3/27

Hello Ledgies! I have just returned home from the fabulous concert. Stevie was on fire tonight! None of the performances were phoned in. She genuinley looked like she was enjoying herself from start to finish. She was in constant motion. She was a woman who tried real hard to make her audience enjoy every song.

Before she sang Dreams she told us it was a song she had been performing since joining FM in 1975 and that if we didn't know it, then it would be a new song for us. It was adorable when she screwed up the words in the beginning of Dreams. I could see Waddy and Al laughing at her for that. She also made some funny faces where one could tell she was amazed at her own screwup and after the song was over she said that because she told us it might be a new song to some of us, she tricked herself into thinking it was new and therefore she messed up the words. So cute.

Upon introducing Sorceror she told us it was one of her Lady From The Mountain Songs that was written around the time her and Lindsey moved from S.F. to L.A. It was also the first time I enjoyed hearing it live. She was so into it. Her vocals were perfect through this and every song.

During Secret Love I concentrated on the video on the screen and when the song was over she said something like, "there, now you've seen it" and smiled brightly.

Before the show had started I met a Ledgie named London who recognized me from the photo I posted and we had a very nice conversation. In front of the boxoffice I recognized Macfanforever from a pic of himself he posted two years ago and he and I had an enjoyable conversation.
The absolute highlight for me was when a distinguished looking gentleman approached me during the break between Stevie and Rod's shows and introduced himself as Nikolaij. God had answered my request and I finally got to meet him in person.
He told me to follow him to the merchandise booth so he could buy me that t-shirt which he said he would do if he ever saw me at the show. You know a lot of people say they're gonna do something and never do it, but he did. He suggested he should buy me the red hoodie and I was so touched. He spent $60.00 on me!!! Then he went out for a smoke and asked me to wait in front of a certain consession stand for him, which I did, for two songs, and then I had to get back inside because I didn't want to miss Stevie's duets with Rod.
I just wanted you to know Kol, that I did wait for you but you didn't come back. And I appreciate very much the hoodie you bought for me. I wore it outside while waiting for valet to return with my car and it kept me warm, from the cold wind of it all. Besides seeing the Queen of rock and roll and being with some good friends, meeting you Kol was my great experience of the evening.

One of my guests took some nice pics which I will post as soon as they are e-mailed to me.

If I remember more, I will post it later.

Much Love, Viv
