I totally know the feeling. When that song came on at Jones I was like "WTF?" People around me were saying "what is this song?" I was there with my Dad, Mom, one of my brothers, and my ex boyfriend. My parents thought Docklands was good. My brother and ex hated it.

I went to the 12-31-99 show at the House Of Blues. Let me indulge with a story here. In October of that year my friend calls me and says "You got your money saved up? We're going to see Stevie on New Year's Eve in Vegas!" I was like "And how exactly are we going to do that?" I figured that with ti being so close to new years and it being Vegas we wouldnt get a room for like within 100 miles or more. Plus I figured that airfares would be ridiculous. Well after some prodding, I checked into airfares and I was able to get a roundtrip From Minnespolis to Vegas on United for $210. Going out on 12-31, returning on 1-1. We decided not to try to get a room and just stay up all night and come back in the morning. Well, we got to Vegas at like 930 A.M and hightailed it over to Mandalay Bay to get in line because we had those General admission tickets, which meant we'd be standing on the dance floor. Well we got there at 10 to find we were in pretty good shape, 6th in line. We ended up waiting 11 hours before they opened the doors, and I made a mad dash for the stage, and my friend and I ended up right in front of Stevie's Mic. The show was unforgettable to say the least. But the only thing I had a major problem with was the merchandise.(Surprise, Surprise) The Pink New Years Eve shirts were going so fast that I had to make a decision; try to rush up there and buy a few and risk losing my spot or go without. SO I made a split second decision to run up and I bought 2 pink shirt, 2 of the white ones and a coffee mug. I managed to make it back to my spot just in the nick of time or I wouldnt have been able to get up there. That was the first night I got to shake Stevie's hand during Edge too!!!. After the show, I ran into a fellow from Amdterdam, and a young lady from Pennsylvania that didnt get anything because of the Clusterf**k that was Chris Nicks. I felt reallt bad, so I gave one of my pink shirts to the guy from Amsterdam, and one of my white ones to the gal from Penn. They each gave me $20, the price of the shirts. They were so grateful, and I felt pretty good too. I mean I didnt really need all that anyway. I still have my pink shirt in the closet at home. One of my prized possesions.

I went to the opening night. Met some great people in line, including the woman who gave Stevie the Snoopy doll during the HBO concert. Wonder if she's on this board?

Really? that's a cool story.

I know what you mean about meeting great people in line. I met my friend Debbie from CLeveland in Line that day, and we're freinds to this day. In fact I've been to CLeveland to hang out with her, and we went to Columbus, Pittsburgh, and CLeveland on the SYW tour together. Those types of friendships last forever.

Same here!!! Also she did alice AND juliet here in MA so if I was born earlier I would have gotten to hear both!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I did get to see Whole Lotta Trouble done live on the Enchanted tour tho!!!!

Although I've always liked Stevie and FM, she cast her "spell" on me at the HOB show in LA on 12-28-99. Being so close, I got a lot of stage interaction with her that night, especially during ROF and WLOT. It was awesome.

Since then, nothing past the 5th row will do for any Stevie or FM show (for me anyway).

Stage interaction with Stevie is priceless..just ask my Mastercard.

I went to both of the House of Blues shows.

I got out of the shower, dolled myself up, took the elevator down to the street, walked around the corner and up the hill and parked myself at the front of the stage.

You must have been right next to me. Though I ate dinner there before the shows I saw. I can't for the life of me remember which shows I went to - I have a stub for the 29th, but I know there were some after the first too....

Why didn't we know each other then ? Silly.

Whenever I go to shows at HOB, I always stand at the right of the stage in front of the speakers- it makes it so much easier to zip out the back stairs when the concert's over.
