I don't think that was what she was doing. JMO. He was there. He was in the video she did on that song. Her god daughter's were there. She acknowledged Mick and the kids with the song. That's all. She dedicated Landslide to her mother on Friday.

Hey, Daniel. Thanks for backing me up. I was the lady next to you on the aisle. I'm sorry we didn't see you again after the show. Caesar's was nuts on Saturday so we left after about an hour. Wasn't Stevie amazing? I saw all 4 shows. Nothing will ever top the show on Wednesday, but I think you had to be in the first 5 or 10 rows to get that show. It was not for general public consumption, as far as I could tell. I'm still not sure it was really Stevie on stage Wednesday. She was like a totally different person that night. Tues she was nervous. Wed, if you were sitting in the first few rows, you could see she was noticeably uninhibited. Fri and Sat were great overall shows for the entire audience. Every show was worth seeing and was special for a different reason. As long as you never believed all the bull she was slinging in the Jim Ladd interview, there was nothing disappointing about her performances. She had great attitude and seemed happier than ever. Her vocals were outstanding. She sounded better and more consistant than she's sounded live in many years. Imo, the videos were an annoying distraction but were necessary to keep Stevie from being swallowed up by that huge stage. It would have been nice if the videos were relevant. I didn't care for them much at all except the rare ones of Stevie herself. It would have been better use of the screens if she had been projected up there singing more than the quick few times they showed her full screen. I'm sure she didn't want to be shown up there, ten feet high, in close ups for everyone to scrutinize how she looked. Too bad for the people sitting far away, because she looked great and it would have been better to see her up close to clearly appreciate the performances.

I agree - I think she was just acknowledging him and them.

Yeah, I don't think she was necessarily singing that song directly to Mick. I had the impression both nights that I saw her perform it that she was singing it to the idea of love and loss as opposed to a particular individual.

Huh??

I was in the first row during BatB on Saturday and she did say Mick. I must confess that I was too busy checking out her boots to really care though.

Wednesdays show was the BEST. I agree, was that really Stevie??

She was so sexy and apparently in another world.

I loved it.

I think it is very sweet and very Stevie to dedicate BatB to Mick and the kids while they were there. He was in the video and all.

Did anyone notice if someone was filming Wednesday's show? Might be why she was acting perkier... ?? Nice thought, eh?

Someone sitting in the second mez said they were next to a camera man who said the show was not being filmed but monitored for the screens. However, Stevie was being shown close up all the time on the camera. I forget where I read that or which night it was. I think it was posted here somewhere?

I don't agree. I think she was just acknowledging Mick - he knows it's about him. Many fans know it. I'm sure his wife knows it. And their affair happened long before Mick's marriage to his wife. I actually think it's really sweet that Stevie and he have stayed such close and dear friends. She's Ruby and Tessa's godmother; I think clearly she's close friends with (is her name Lynn??) Mick's wife, too.

JMO.

Does anyone else agree that she was thinking out loud? It sounded ackward to just say his name mid-song and she onbviously didn't mean to say it. The second the song was over she quickly clarified what she said, or at least that is what it seemed like to me. Does anyone have a bootleg of this show? You will hear what I mean.

She didn't say it mid song. It was right before she started singing the song.

But the song had already started as far as the piano was concerned. It seemes strange to me. It was certainly out of place to my ears.

I thought this was very interesting and everyone when she said this was like "huh?". She obviously didn't mean to say this. And then after the song she said someone's name and said "yes, that song's for you!" Was she talking about Mick Fleetwood?

I just have to say that Vegas was amazing and Beauty and the Beast was the best experience of my life (either that or getting to shake her hand and having her smile at me... I can't decide which was more thrilling

) Anyways, during B&theB on Friday night I almost fell collapsed, the song was so beautiful. I couldn't move and didn't clap or scream when the song was over because it was just too beautiful and heart breaking. "I've never doubted your beauty... I've changed!" OMG, just thinking about it is too much.

It was so distinct and on purpose. It was also one of the best experiences of my life. To touch that tiny little talented hand...heaven. All that talent and grace packed in that beautiful lady. It was just SO awesome!
