4/6 msg?! - Page 3

I'm just over from London on business so was so lucky to catch this MSG show tonight...I have to say though it seemed to be so Rod's crowd.

The venue was less than half full when she came on and my section seemed to spend her first 5 songs finding their seats, ordering hot dogs and chatting.... Never mind she was wonderful, but not having a true Stevie crowd around me left me feeling a little cold....Hope Hyde Park London will give her a massive British welcome!

No doubt it was a Rod crowd...but stevie was great! Some highlights...

1. In secret love she messed up the beginning but she did use "salvation" which made up for it
2. No fall from grace, but she ended with Rock n Roll after Love is....you could see her cute little self running really quick to go get her top hat for it!
3. Love Is was....amazing!!!! However i think for these rod shows she should play it safe with Has Anyone...

I have to admit that these two geezers are keeping us on our toes! I was expecting a total carbon copy of the first MSG show, but it was actually quite a bit different! Mama definitely surprised us by not performing "Fall From Grace" and ending with "Rock and Roll," which is kind of unprecedented for her since she always ends the show with a ballad (except for the Timespace Tour!). I have to admit that I much preferred this second MSG show- she seemed to be much looser and her vocal problems (yes, I think she may have been a little hoarse at the start of the tour) seem to have improved greatly.

Even Rod's set was quite different. He's added "Some Guys Have All the Luck," which is really one of the handful of Rod songs that I actually like. But "You Wear it Well" was dropped.

And of course L&L was added, etc.

Oh, and I caught a Rod ball! I'd rather have a Stevie ball, but one Rod ball is better than no ball at all.

Boy were people getting their haterade on when I was leaving with it.

Oh, and I've got some serious HD video for y'all! It turned out really, really fantastic. But it will take about two days to upload. Seriously.

But it will be worth the wait.

meh - although I'm glad she ends with an upbeat song does it have to be Rock N Roll over one of her own songs? Please go back to opening with FFG and end with Stand Back. Oh and by the way she did not end with a rocker on the Whole Lotta Trouble (Timespace) Tour. The encores were Rhiannon and then Landslide so she did end with a ballad. However, in my recollection the only time she did end with a rocker was the Two Voices Tour when she and Don Henley finished with So You Wanna Be A Rock N Roll Star?

Ah... long nets of white (and some myeloid plaques in my brain!) cloud my memory... For some reason I thought "Rhiannon" was the closer, but, yes, come to think of it, "Landslide" was the closer for Timespace. And yes, SYWBARARS was the closer for Two Voices; but that doesn't count because it was technically a Don-Stevie closer, not a Stevie solo closer.

Splitting hairs, I know...

Anyway, I got some kind of Java run time error overnight, so I'm not sure if the video uploaded properly... I hope to find out in about an hour...

Video... it's a little shaky at the start, but becomes very watchable.

Fiver · #39 04-07-2011, 08:44 AM

^Oh my gosh, awesome picture quality. Sweet!

They look more at ease too.

Now that's more like it! Singing with Rod Stewart's not so bad after all.
