Someone mentioned Gold and Braid when she was talking about the songs that make her emotional when she listens to them. She was like "Uh no that song was only done live" and basically corrected them.

See I'm remembering all this stuff from you guys talking about it. At one point she was talking about the Italy song and said let's talk in Italian or something and I yelled out Bella Donna and she said yes, beautiful woman and some other kind of woman but I can't remember the adjective she used. Began with an s.

Hey... there's a TMI thread for that!

SandyMac · #48 02-20-2011, 12:51 AM

I would be shaking too. WOW, I am so glad you got this chance to be there and ask questions to her directly.

Thank you for bringing us such wonderful news! I am sure you will be on cloud 9 for a long time. I am so happy for you.

It does sound like Stevie's CD is getting a lot of great reviews.

SapphireSister · #49 02-20-2011, 12:58 AM

I also reminded her of the date when the tour with Rod was over when she was trying to remember (end of April). She will be home for a week or two in rehearsals and then back on the road for IYD!

She also mentioned on several occasions that one disadvantage of being filmed every day was having to put on make-up and get somewhat dressed which was apparently a pain to have to do on a daily basis from the way she made it sound. Poor thing

. lol

Can you remember if her vocals on the rest of the songs that you heard sound as good as her vocals on "Secret Love"?

Thank you for all the information, Sapphire Sister. I remember you quite well from months back, when you were worried she was losing her Stevie-ness over a photograph that none of us liked, taken at a steak house, and a little pep-talk from me of so few words (ha) convinced you that anyone could have a bad photo day and she'd still be the Stevie you love next time you saw her.
-I thought, however, it would be on stage, not at a private listening and chit-chat, up close!
Congratulations on your great day. I am so glad you went, it seems very fitting you were in attendance, you seem to love SN's music, her image, and her, generally, so very much.
Tell me, please- did you get any lovely parting gifts? Like a cd single or a photo postcard or any dang thing at all? I'm sure you don't care.
You were just feet away from SN in a tiny room and you talked to her and she answered! - how many of her fans can make that claim?! AND you were one of the very first on The Ledge to hear most of the cd and get back to us same day about it! Thanks, Sapphire Sister!

I'm happy for you, SS.
Sounds like you had a day truly worthy of being called one that was 'in your dreams'.
I bet you'll remember it always.

Yes, thank you Sapphire for not teasing us and for trying to give us details. I cannot stand when someone on this site does that. I would not do that to them.

Is Italian Summer atmospheric. Everyone who has heard this song has had trouble describing it.

Nikolaj · #55 02-20-2011, 01:49 AM

Here's a question- SS-- did Stevie's vocals sound better to you than on TISL, which you compared the new cd to? I felt many of her vocals on TISL weren't recorded quite as well as I'd have liked- something about a sterile production technique or in the mix on some of the SC-produced tracks not really showcasing SN's voice to the full advantage, in my opinion. I loved the Shanks produced tracks on TISL-
So tell me, did SN's voice really come through in a great way in what you heard? I think Dave Stewart will get it right, or did get it right- is just my gut instinct.
Thanks, SS.

Exactly! I remember them being super good, and the tempo they were, but it's hard memorizing more when she's right there in front of you! Wasn't that awesome today??

Wow! Wow! Wow!... Lady From The Mountain is a shocker! A cool shocker... Thanks for sharing your experience... Way cool!

Was the documentary footage black and white or colour or a mixture?

I'm not holding my breath about "Lady From the Mountain "read Jkmaletic's part 2..she does not mention it at all ..I smell a rat.

I think SapphireSister wouldn't make that up, no matter how excited she was. I believe her, she takes her Stevie fandom very seriously. Now, I need to go read the other attendee's second installment. My instinct tells me that SS heard it- but I've been wrong before! Perhaps SS was more familiar with that particular demo than the other writer, so it really jumped out at her?
I don't think she'd deliberately say it was something that got played if it had not been, it's not her style to lie, I don't think. She seems sensitive and serious about SN and she doesn't strike me as someone who'd play games about what she heard.
Well, that's my guess.
