THANK YOU Paula and also Chris!!!!!
This was an amazing performance and I'm glad people are getting to see little clips from it. I hope this alone will quiet the "bashers."

The WHOLE concert was this good.

I know! I keep watching it, and every time the same thing - chills, eyes tear up. I'm such a nerd.

BTW - a few things I wanted to point out:

One thing that pissed me off was that there was a TV tray at the front of the stage for Stevie's water. WTF? A tv tray? Couldn't they have draped it in velvet or something? You can see it in the vid. It annoys me to no end.

You can see the grand piano draped in blue velvet with the candelabra (sp) at the end when she's walking offstage. Gorgeous - I only wish I had gotten a shot of Mr. Plunkett playing before she came out, but I was in awe & thought of it too late.

Note the back of her cloak when she walks offstage - there's really cool detailing from her lower back all the way to the floor.

Oh - and it's the "pain" on "pleasure and pain" that gets me every time. And "I'll change!" And "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" And....

Awesome girl. Thanks so much! Sure beats watching it from the camera screen on the night table in the hotel room

oh Jim, i think everyone that was in that area wanted to slap him.. how selfish and annoying can someone be?? sheesh!

[CreepingDeath]

Thanks SO much for posting this, Chris and Paula. The video brought back some great memories. BATB was so absolutely stunning that I still haven't gotten over it yet. The same goes for HSML & Sorcerer on Wed. night. She was so damn sexy that night.

As for that drunken marry me Stevie idiot- ACK! I heard him all night.

Still one more show to go!

Oh Paula...I agree with the tv tray. WTF?!?

I am crying AGAIN. Both nights, I cried like I baby. The whole show was that good but this song was the best, IMHO.

I was near "sing it for me stevie" A-Hole and I am thankful you cannot hear my "will you shut the HELL up" in your video....honestly..I wanted to slap him..Hard. He was such a freaking jackass. I know she heard him cause she heard that guy say "carlos rocks" from exactly the same spot and he didnt even scream it like a banchee!

Thanks to Chris for hosting. I sooo wanted the people who did not attend to be able to see this. I mean how can you diss the show after watching this?!?

[bikerchic]

If you listen close enough, about 40 seconds in, after the 2nd "sing to me Stevie" you can hear me telling him to SHUT UP, sorry, but I just couldn't take him anymore!

Las Vegas is not so far away from France thanks to you...
You made my day !

Thanks Bikerchic! It obviously worked cause I didn't hear him after that! He was two rows behind me during the show and as annoying a "fan" as I've encountered at any concert. I guess that's the penalty we pay for free drinks in the casinos.

No need to apologize, I'm really glad you said something. I imagine Stevie was annoyed and creeped out by this man herself. There were people near me who were getting all hysterical about positioning and such during Edge and I just put my finger to my lips and gave small shhh, as politely as possible, and it worked! But there was a woman in my section during the whole show yelling I LOVE YOU STEVIE. I never figured out who it was to ask her to shut the hell up!

OHHHHHHHHHH thank you so very much for sharing this!!I sat here and cried watching it....OHH I can not wait till june when I go see her ...my first time....

Just so everyone doesn't get TOO excited, I took this on my little Kodak 4 megapixel camera. It has video capabilities, and since I have a large memory card in it, I was able to capture the whole song.

I would have taken more video earlier, but 1) I had no clue how much time I had on the card & wanted to get still pics too, which also take up memory, obviously; and 2) They were allowing cameras in, but video was a no-no. I was very worried they would take it away & I would lose everything. I'm shocked I was able to get B&tB in its entirity holding the camera up right in front. Turned out I probably had another 15 minutes on the card, but hindsight is 20/20 - if I had been trying to get HSML on vid, I wouldn't have gotten down to the front to argue with security first & we wouldn't have B&TB at all. "So we make our choices...."

So, I have heard that the entire show was put on DVD on Tues & Wed, but not by me. I have no clue what point of view from the stage it will be, how close, what quality, etc. But I figured I could at least share this little bit with you guys. I'm so glad you've all enjoyed it. I know I have (several times, lol!)

You took that with a digital camera? That is amazing, it sounds and looks awesome. Thank you so much for sharing that with us, it means a lot to me since I wasn't able to attend the show and that is the one song I wish I could have seen, Stevie looked and sounded great. Thank you for taking the time and risk to get the entire song and up close. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

LOL! "Now you watch it. Now give it back to me. Now Amber. Now let's just listen to it."

[Rumour0323]

She is simply magnificent. I cried watching this. I cannot imagine being there and witnessing it live. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
