She said she went and got on a bus with Tom and the Heartbreakers, becoming part of their band. She went on tour with them and had the time of her life, "let your imagination take that any way it likes," she kidded. Then she said, "Now I want to introduce you to a real heartbreaker, Mike Campbell!" He was definitely not who the audience was expecting.

I didn't know who Peter was either. She probably doesn't know his last name because she was just like, "oh and there's Peter," when he walked on stage with Dave.

The thing is, Tom Petty had no involvement with her new album, so why would he be there? It makes perfect sense that Mike Campbell, who has been the larger contributer/current figure in her work/career, would be the logical Heartbreaker to appear. The speculation about Tom was generated by hapless fans/social media. Stevie wasn't faking anyone.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but I'm scratching my head over how flawlessly she performed these new songs. Reason being, I recall many thread conversations revolving around how Stevie must get performance anxiety over doing new songs or at least songs not in the usual set list. Probably mostly during the Say You Will tour as some of the new songs were dropped along the way because they really weren't sounding that good. I dunno... I guess I had it in my head that something like this Wiltern show was a fan fantasy and to see how freaking amazingly she performed all these new songs makes me feel like a new fan all over again!!

I want to see this show live AND I want to buy the DVD!

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.

I think that these songs are catered to her voice and current self, which makes them easier to learn and preform with ease. Yes, she's spent 30 years singing songs like "Dreams" but they also weren't created to be sung by a 63-year-old Stevie. I think she was able to learn them so quickly a) with the help of Dave Stewart and b) because they are meant for her modern day voice and style.

Just so everyone knows, Peter Stroud is Sheryl Crow's guitarist.

Has a bootleg of the complete show surfaced yet? Lately it seems it takes longer and longer for the boots to appear. On the Unleashed tour the boots were ready the next day. Anyone got it yet?

Not that I know of. We were just discussing this on the facebook group for the show yesterday. I tried to get audio, but my stupid camera "paused" recording (didn't even know that was possible).

Til one surfaces I guess we get to patiently wait and play the youtube videos non stop.

Stevie began the introduction by talking about Tom and the badge he had given her. I think that would have led anyone to the conclusion that Tom would be emerging. The only people who would think otherwise is people who know that Mike Campbell was involved in this album and, while Ledgies have known that months before the thing was released, the general public still has no idea.

People who use social media are the only ones who might not think the Tom was the mystery guest. The truly hapless fan would certainly jump to that conclusion and justly so. As for Stevie faking people out -- assuming that phrase implies intent -- no she was not doing that, of course. But it doesn't hurt to say she was for my narrative purposes. I don't think anyone took that seriously.

Michele

Plus, this was an intimate little show at a small theater in front of fanatics--that's a much more comfortable atmosphere to sing new songs than in front of a standard tour audience (where all the fanatics are in front but the rest of the 10,000 people are only there to drink & party).

If you want to make your own using the youtube videos you can. Open youtube, then open youtube-mp3.org in another window. Then just drag the youtube URLs you want audio from into the box on the youtube-mp3.org page.

Love, Viv

Hi Dani, I agree with the new songs fitting her current style.

Also, I was so disappointed that most of my pics came out blurry, so I didn't bother to post them here. But, at one point I guess I stuck my camera out to take a shot of the crowd-I was on the front left side. Anyway, one of the only pics that is decent features you...Miss Front and Center.

If you'd like to see it, Pm me your email and I will send it to you, I think you'll like it!

Greetings from The Bahamas!!! I miss you guys but am having a wonderful time here. I'm sad about not getting to run my little mouth of about the show experience with all of you and not being able to thourougly read thru this thread but it's kind of worth it to be here . I'm still dreaming of the show and still trying to comprehend the fact that I was actually there and the intimate expererience I had with Stevie that night (no, not that, I wish).
