SOUNDSTAGE recap

Yes, it definitely seems that she specifically said this would be her last taping. She mentioned how hard it is to prepare but wanted to do this after such a successful tour. I sort of thought that she meant this would be the last solo taping, period (dvd or tv).

It was seriously really sad though when she said that she would not be around "forever."

She said this right before she called out Vanessa Carlton to perform The One. Stevie said that Vanessa was her favorite current day singer/songwriter. She said that her songwriting skills were brilliant. Then Stevie pleaded with the crowd to support Vanessa and the young singer/songwriters of today for the future. Then this is when Stevie reminded everybody that she would not be around forever. When a few of us (including myself) made noises at that Stevie quickly said something like "I'm not saying this to be depressing but it's the truth."

You know I should say that I really noticed Stevie put emphasis on "I'm getting older, too" during Landslide. I know that she has put emphasis on this over the past few years but she turned her back to the crowd, leaned her head back, and really belted this part out in the last part of Landslide.

Looking through this thread it doesn't seemed anybody mentioned the DVD release time. The mc before the show said that this performance would air on PBS sometime in early 2007 (many have said January or February) then he said the DVD will come out next year. He did not say mid or late year, though. So hopefully it does come out within the next year (I wish it came out today! I really want to see how many times they caught me dancing/going wild....haha)

With the whole Crystal Visions Tour, and the way she thanked everyone for sticking with her all these years - and the fact that she said it at every show, made me think many times, christ! this almost sounds like here LAST tour ever! But then, the fact that the tour was in support of a greatest hits collection in celebration of everything she's done with FM and solo - and the fact that they are so scripted with their speaches at the shows, it caused me to doubt it... But, you never know... She may pull a Christine and NOT say it's her last tour or whatever, and just STOP!

The backdrop was incredible. During the long piano intro before the piano intro to Rhiannon, there was a short film of a woman playing piano with a little girl also. Very moving. The last image showed the girl with a close up of her eyes that suddenly took on the shape of a cat's eyes. Verrrrry haunting. Verrrry cool. Stevie's so awesome. She was incredibly intense during Edge of 17. You sorcerer's and sorceress's are gonna love this show. I can't wait to see it!

OMG Stevie is really playing up Rhiannon I think as a small hint of hopefully things to come in the next couple of years with her Rhiannon project. This could be the start of something really BIG

You know Stevie really put emphasis on a few words last night more than other shows during the CV tour.....

"I'm getting older, too" - the last part in Landslide....she really put emphasis on this by tilting her head back and belting this out....more than usual. Like she really, really meant it :-/ I'm still a little upset that she told the "truth" when it came to her not being around forever :-/

But then when she said "timeless" in both BATB and Sorcerer it helped erase the quote from her about not being around one day....she had a certain twinkle/smirk in her eye during BATB (she's already looking phenomenal during this song but when says that she really knows it)....did you notice this?

If she did that newer ending for GDW where she's going, "You can't save me now. You can't free me now. You can't see me now. You just can't do it . . . " That's really nice too. In fact, I like that ending almost as much as I like her, "it's only me that's talking to you, in the still of the night. . . . How still my love or should I say, hold still, hold still, my love . . ."

Very teasing and beautiful stuff.

I'll be glad to get an official tape of that. The Vegas arrangements she did for GDW, HSML and Sorcerer were quite fresh and dynamic. I'll be so satisfied to have them captured.

Yes, she did do the "newer" version of Gold Dust Woman. Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.....you can't save me now. Remarkable, I love how she shadows Waddy at the end, too.

She also did the "ooooooh" part tremendously at the end of SB :-)

It is great to get the added verse to Eof17 on tape for fans that don't know about bootlegs (or YouTube), too

What did she wear during Sara?

LMAO!!!! Thanks for my best laugh of the night Glenn!! Yeah I think it sucks that tickets that COULD have gone to fans (like me *sniff sniff* ) were given to models instead. How sad that some people had to fake being excited to see & hear Stevie because they didn't even know who she was???

THANK YOU to everyone who was there for all your info & funny stories from the night. I guess if I couldn't be there I at least kinda feel like I shared in the night by reading all about it! What a wonderful once in a lifetime night you all had!! Thank you for sharing it with those of us who couldn't be there! You all are awesome!!

I can't wait to see this on PBS & I HOPE soon on DVD as well!! How exciting!!! In the words of Stevie Nick's herself... "I CAN'T WAIT"!!!!

When CV came out, I was surprised how many people said that they heard
EO17 lyrics that they'd never known about before. She's been doing that for years.

People surprise me. Yet, although I've been online a long time and a fan of FM's even longer, I'd never used the internet for the group until the SYW publicity started in 2003. I'd post on an X-Files analysis group, but never even tried to get any FM info online, for many years. Which is a real bummer, because if I'd been connnected, I'm sure I would have learned about The Dance taping beforehand and been able to attend both shows. I saw many Dance tour shows (but not as many as I would have seen if I'd known Christine was leaving), but I would give anything to have seen the actual DVD performances live. Logging on opens up a whole new world.

Not calling you a liar. I'm just confused how you got a picture taken as the guy at the metal detector checked/looked at every cell phone to make sure it wasn't a camera. I tried walking through with my cell phone as I didn't want it being lost in coat check but he still took it at the metal detectors as it had the lens. I was bummed but did indeed get it back after the show.

Can you please post the pic? And there were a couple of things you didn't leave details on the points where you said "something." That's too non-descript! What was the "something sweet" that Stevie told you? What was the "something" that your friend told Stevie? How did the "opportunity" come about??

A VIP reception with a "meet and greet" was held before the show. They were running very late, therefore we only got to see her minutes before we were seated and she went out on stage. I was purposely vague regarding my very brief conversation with Stevie because the focus of my post was to provide additional commentary that hadn't been discussed yet about the show itself. Secondly, my friend's conversation with Stevie is personal and it is not my place to post about it on the internet.

The picture with Stevie and Waddy was taken professionally and has not yet been sent to me. As for cell phones themselves, we went through a different entrance and were allowed to keep ours as long as we promised to turn them off and not to take photos during the show. I adhered to that and did not take any photos of Stevie, but I was bad and did take a pic of the "Stevie Nicks" lights during intermission.

It appears that we all had a great time at the show and that is what's important. Just remember that everyone's experience was different. I wouldn't trade mine for the world!

I totally understand the vagueness. I'm just curious though as to how you got the VIP tickets. Citi originally had something posted about VIP tickets and when I asked about them, they told me it was a mistake on their website and they didn't actually have any of those tickets. So, I was just curious as to where they came from. You can PM me if you prefer. I won't post your response if you want to keep it quiet.
