These videos have me convinced. We are getting a tour.

It's time to start talking tour merchandise. We need some Ledge Designers to come up with some over the top ideas now! I really want an Edgar Allan Poe shirt--something with Edgar on it, maybe with a raven, a wild heart, a full moon or something Annabel Lee-ish on it.

These vids are great - well done everyone!! Any videos of In Your Dreams? I've been wondering how she'd do performing that one, I love it! That and For What It's Worth? This show has to come out on dvd or at least be heavily featured in the documentary!

I don't know. It's already June.

I know Stevie rehearses for a long time, but I was amazed at how polished and effortless everything seemed. The first night of a tour is usually shaky, even when she or FM are just doing their standards. For her to break out all of these new songs with no stiltedness or stumbles was astonishing.

Definitely an AMAZING show! So thrilled she put herself out there and played that many new songs. It was awesome. The only time I can think that she messed up on the new stuff was on For What It's Worth - she sang "Still Outrageous Still Outrageous" instead of Still Forbidden - she just repeated the outrageous bit. So very impressive. Especially if they just rehearsed the last couple days.

All these vids are awesome! Thank you to the person(s) who uploaded them!

I thought I read at the beginning of this thread that Dave Stewart said him and Stevie will be touring together once his cd come out. :shrug

Here it is:

I was supposed to be at the NY show, but I love the CD, the documentary, the videos, etc and her that she served cupcakes at her birthday while those who doubted her have to eat crow. 8 new songs played; a Lindsey duet Hopefully, Reprise will package a DVD of the show along with the documentary for a special Sour-Puss Fan Edition of "In Your Dreams" titled "IN YOUR FACE."

Mick and Lindsey were sitting up in the balcony, and some people did manage to go up and say hi. I'm guessing the guy brought RAL hoping to get Stevie, but figured he might as well have Mick sign it.

But I did have a great time with my NYC peeps.

I'm so glad, Amy. Ed and I were definitely thinking of our fellow New Yorkers.

I'm sure someone recorded the whole thing, but I have about half of it. I'm on a plane right now and the connection is pretty slow, but if I have decent wifi at the hotel tonight I'll put up the IYD snippet, Rhiannon, and CTF.


I was blown away by Michele’s incredibly thorough recap. My contributions are much fuzzier, a haze of euphoria. But I thought I’d throw in everything I can remember because it really was one of the best nights of my life, and definitely the most epic. Dani and I woke up at 3:15 and when we rolled back in at 3AM, we realized we’d chiffoned out for 24 hours. Literally, everything we said, thought, and did was about Stevie, from singing Moonlight probably 5 times while we waited for the sun, to cutting off our consumption of liquids after 4PM.

There were some great times in line—so many fantastic people, all as crazy as us (at least, almost—we were just 2 hours worth of waiting crazier) I was especially grateful to Eliza (S.Nicks), who was the only one to join me, Dani and Amber while it was still dark out. Also loved meeting Alicia (can’t wait to see her pics!) and seeing Becca again and getting to hang with Ed, Liam, Kim, and Lindsay (who chiffon-headed out for the cameras like you would.not.believe). And the community of crazy fans was just an awesome thing to behold as we lined up because we were all sort of in it together—one woman saw me and Amber first in line on our blankets and approvingly yelled, “HARD-CORE!” I also got a major kick out of the number of people who recognized Dani—6’2” in her boots, she was basically our mascot.

They started letting people in at 7 and we were front row center. Being that close probably had a lot to do with it, but it really felt like her aura wafted through the theater—I was ready to cry just from looking up at her mic stand. She came on for Stand Back at 8:20 after an introduction by Chris, and was going all out from that moment on. Everyone was amazed after the first two songs, and I was so glad to hear longtime fans who’ve been to dozens of concerts all say they hadn’t seen her like this in decades, if ever. The energy was just amazing throughout. It was a very long set, and her vocal and physical stamina would have been amazing even if she hadn’t just gotten over an illness. But from beginning to end she was dancing like crazy, relishing every song, and hitting notes she normally doesn’t attempt. The talk bits were great—she was really into interacting with the crowd, and seemed thrilled to get to talk about her new music.

Annabel Lee really surprised me—I’ve actually never been into the song (I know, I know), but it really translated beautifully, as all of the new songs to follow would. Ghosts Are Gone was a definite stand out—partly because expectations were low, but mainly because of her energy. She was loving it—shaking that tambo with everything in her. She also interacted with Dave more on that song than any other except CTF, and it was awesome to see her beaming as they danced around.
Soldier’s Angel was beautiful and very emotional—Lindsey was welling up at points, Stevie needed a moment as she tried to introduce her next song. Although I would normally be thrilled to see a set list without Landslide, I was kind of disappointed that they didn’t do it then—would have been gorgeous, I’m sure (this is my only slight complaint about the set list, though, and all-in-all it wildly exceeded my expectations). FWIW was also just incredible, as was FFG. I was surprised she included it, but this was a truly great version. And of course Edge! Security was understandably crazy and I was definitely taken out of the moment by the guards squeezing between us and the stage and speaking loudly on their devices, but getting to shake her hands and cry “Thank you!” was unforgettable. And Love Is—absolutely gorgeous, and probably heightened for me by Dani’s squeaky sobs.

Having had all of that amazing luck, we of course had to wait around outside and I’m so glad we did. One of the crew guys (I think? I honestly have no idea who it was) gave me one of the used drumsticks! Loved taking a picture with Sharon, who honestly could not have been sweeter—when Dani and Amber told her how they flew in for Webster, she gasped and seemed genuinely pained for them, and clasped Dani's hands. And of course, seeing Stevie pull away—she was way out of it, but grinned and waved.

I was around when Mick was signing records and there were several guys who had a stack of records and were just handing them off for Mick to sign and weren't letting other people in. My friend and I thought they were paparazzi because they had so many records. Whoever they were they were rude. Eventually security tried to turn them away so other people could have a chance with Mick but then Mick left.

My friend asked Waddy about a tour and he said likely in August. I don't want anyone to hold their breath but I think it's a possibility.

I totally agree that each song was totally polished, and suspect that this set list was ready quite some time ago... Question ... had Stevie not gotten sick and had Webster Hall not been CXLD, would the other shows ( borgata, arizona, ca, and vegas ) have also included the new set list, meaning that since Webster was out that they held back for The Wilhern ??

Bring on the next tour !

[1sttimelongtime]

I dont have much to add, except to say that that was, hands down, the best show I have ever seen! Stevie sang beautifully and had tremendous energy. She also seemed truly, genuinely happy, which is not something I've seen much in other shows.

Soldiers Angel was not a song I liked, but after hearing it live, Ive change my mind about it. She sounded better singing that song live than she did on the album. She and Lindsey gave a spectacular performance.

Thanks to Ed the camera man, I have videos of all the new songs. It wil ltake forever to download, but I will post them here when they're done. I hope someone got video of FFG because she gave a really intense performance of that song, complete with mad screams and popping veins in the neck. Awesome!! After one song she was actually panting! Since when does this happen!?

I pray she tours with Dave and not Rod. It must feel a hell of a lot better to perform in front of your own wildly enthusiastic fans, instead of Rod's geritol popping audience.

I've said it before, though perhasp not here, but Metallica fans are much peaceable than Stevie fans. I thought there would be fisticuffs at the stage when some wacked out old bat stormed her way to the front, shoving aside people who'd been waiting all damned day, and got a spot at the stage!!

Speaking of Metallica, Stevie can headbang as well as any of them. She demonstrated her skills during EO17

[Edgeof27]

Probably August/September for start of "The Tour".

Timing seems about right.

Fingers crossed.
