Taj 8/27/10

Here's a few pictures my friend Carly took of the burgundy dress:





^ The "Don't do that" to the crowd/security/??





^ The flower crown someone gave her. I wish there were more pictures of this; it was pretty ridiculously adorbz.

It was easy. Birmingham amazed me though. They started to let up the front row and I just strolled down from row 10 expecting someone to send me back and no-one did so I planted myself at LB's feet..lol

Thanks so much!! I like the burgundy and black together. Look's like she is switching things up a bit.

^ Right? I'm absolutely obsessed with it right now. Favorite outfit in a very long time.

I'm so sorry so many of you had horrible experiences with security! It's kind of funny what happened to me (and lucky). I ran into one of my lil' sis' at the show and we went into the venue very early. We basically hung out with security from the Taj guys for nearly an hour and she really buttered them up and so forth. As I mentioned my seat was amazing (3rd row center aisle seat) so I had no problem with staying put during most of the show. They're were people standing behind me in the aisles that had seats way back and I tried to be as nice as I could with letting them stay until they started cramping my style and then I had to give the "you gotta move outta my space" look since I did have the right to be in my seat without being pushed and swarmed with people. I stood 95% of the concert - danced and sang along as I always do and only had one minor problem when a woman came up to me and said "Can I pay you to move over like 1 inch since my 80 year old mother is here and can't see?" which of course I obliged.

When they finally started to let the first couple of rows up and everyone made a mad dash for the stage my lil' sis' grabbed me and we climbed over the 2 rows of chairs in front of us without anyone noticing and made it up there to the stage with no problem. Right after we got there the mean security guys started pushing everyone back and no one was aloud to come to the front again till' Edge which is when the chaos really began. I didn't see a lot of what was going on since I was in the front and watching Stevie but I heard the madness behind me. One girl behind me was fighting with a security guard and I seriously thought they would come to blows but didn't thankfully. She ended up screaming at him and crying her poor little heart out over Stevie and threatened to have the security guy fired. The whole situation was scary and dangerous - quite different from my experience in Santa Barbara but also better since I grabbed Stevie's hand twice and was so far up for the whole show!
I'm not going to go into a full review of the show since so many of you have done such a wonderful job but all I have to say is it was worth it to fly to the east coast just to have her sing "Love Is" to us....and yes Stevie - Love is YOU!

Any boots of this show yet? Must have!

She wore burgundy during the UK dates with FM last year. Not sure if it was the same dress though

Somebody got video of the edge walk. Right at the start is where you can see Stevie and her guy shaking their hands and stevie in her "pleading" hand gesture. Luckily she got a hat right after that to make it all better!

Here is a short clip I took of "Love Is" from waaaaay back in Section K - boohoo. The picture quality is not great but the sound is good. I do have a long clip of Edge of 17 I may attempt to upload on Youtube.

I loved this show a lot. I had anxiety about the seat location as I was not able to upgrade to a close seat on the floor. Like many of you who are big fans, I always want to be close enough for the Edge walk. I really wanted to be able to see her face but since the screens were not working and I was far from the stage, that wasn't an option.

The "Strike Force" team was nowhere near my section. Apparently they were all on the floor hassling the fans in the front rows. A friend of mine was in the first row and was nearly trampled by some overeager fans. One stepped hard on her foot. She was limping out of the venue in pain when the show was over.

This red dress in AC is the same one from the Unleashed tour... it's identical to the black one and the white one she's worn... She's just not wearing the little short matching jacket thing with sparkly sleeves that also looks kind of like a corset.
