Thanks elle, for posting the video. The guy at 5:50 didn't look like the guy I saw. Maybe he was a cousin or something. Or maybe it was just a weird coincidence. Anyway, he was good-looking!

Then there's that bacteria-ridden Edge Walk. If I were Sharon and Lori when Stevie came and touched me after she'd been rubbing the mucus masses, I'd stick one of those dirty gloves down her throat.

My mother scoffs at me being picky and reminds me that when I was a toddler, she caught me picking chewed gum off of the sidewalk and putting it in my mouth. Well, I think that says more about her parenting skills than it proves that my current germophobia is hypocritical.

I forgot about the Edge walk.

This has got to be the funniest thing you've ever said. ROTFL

But I will say that in over 30 years of seeing Stevie, this show was in the top 2 I have ever seen. As far as the setlist goes, it was the best. And maybe the performance as well.

I mostly rate the SIR TISL show at the same level for sentimental reasons. Being with a dear friend, the craziness surrounding it, hanging with Stevie and everyone after the show, seeing It's Only Love live, etc. IDK. Maybe it was better. Hard to say.

Ultimately, I just agree with everyone about the quality of this show. She was committed from the first moment until the last note of Love Is. I do not believe I have ever seen her so focused and so wild. It is a tough call to make. In the old days, she was nuts and coked up and crazy. But every one of those show was erratic. For every historic performance of one song, she was a mess on the next. And that goes back to every tour except maybe 1975. We will never see wacked out Stevie again, but the fact is that on this night she was not only the modulated and controlled singer we have come to know the last 15 years, she was ultra present and spontaneous.

It did bother me that she did not use her breathy falsetto voice on the verses of Moonlight. She probably has her own reasons for doing this. Maybe she cannot project that voice loud enough over the music without feedback. Dunno. But the belt at the end kind of made up for it.

Overall it was a historic show. And made all the better that I was with a pack of 5 other great pals and we got to hang out, have a great time, and sing our guts out and have a nice little party at the show. We were just past the first level, so far enough away to not be squashed but close and high enough to have a great view.

I thought many times during the show how lucky I am to have met so many great friends through the music. My life is so much richer for being a fan of Stevie. At many moments I held my friends and they held me, as the music nailed us so hard that we literally broke down and lost it. We have that history together and understand exactly why a certain song may shake our friend to the core. We have all loved and lost and we get it. On that count, I guess I am one of the crazy people at a Stevie show howling and singing and drinking and having the time of my life. All I can say to all those people who hate that noise and singing along is that seeing Stevie is a not a trip to a museum to worship and be silent. It is a party. It is a thrill to me that everyone knows the words and sings along. All of us bellowed and sang through the new songs. It is a love fest. If we aren't singing, and mostly on key in my crowd, we are crying. We are obviously not yelling "We Love you Stevie!" at serious moments in Love Is, but the rest of the time we are singing loudly along or weeping in a friggin rapture.

And a rapture is the best way to describe the evening.

It was perfect.

I agree. Although I have not been lucky enough to see as many shows as you, I have seen quite a few and this was, by far, the best that I have seen. So good that I was actually a little sad afterward, thinking that it's very possible that I will never see a show of that caliber from her again.

Our view was perfect, we weren't crowded or pushed and we had plenty of room to dance. I'm so happy that I got to see this show with you and meet some great new people! And thanks for taking the photos of Mick and I.

Cammie, I didn't know you were there! You should've come and said hello.

yeah i remember that too..I made friends with 2 of the guys that were manning the pit and making sure nobody got down there without a wristband and when we were leaving one of them was out guarding the side entrance making sure nobody went back there and he told us that even though they smelled good he wouldnt touch them with a ten foot pole and he works there so I guess you were smart to stay clear from them
