My lengthy Sunrise Review!!! Sorry I wrote a book!!!

[diamondsnake]

The show was great! I had third row, which quickly became front row center because security let the first three rows up to the stage and I secured a spot right in front of Stevie's microphone a couple feet from the stage.

Vanessa's set was really great. I am going to get one of her albums because she has a really beautiful voice... She got a standing ovation at the end of her set. This was a big change from Tampa where only three people were even watching her! The audience was much better at this show (in otherwords it wasn't hick city!) Although the people in the seats next to me didn't clap once and just stared out into space all night like they hadn't a clue what was going on. They were foreign so I figured their customs were maybe different. Fortunately, like I said, I left my seat early in the show and headed towards the stage!

Once Bootylicous came over the speakers everyone jumped to their feet and I didn't sit down the rest of the night. I could see Stevie being helped up the stair during the Dreams remix and I was getting so excited! Stevie looked beautiful! Enchanted was fabulous as usual. I think this is a great opener! Stop Draggin My Heart Around was great. Even better then Tampa. I love Stevie and Waddy's playful motions during this song! OTR was great. The "babyandanyonecan'ttakemyplacelookatmyeyestouchmyfacesaywbabyanyoneinthewholewideworldtakeitfromeme" gibberish was fantastic! Dreams was... Dreams! Great as usual! Even though this song has gotten a little tired I still love it!

Rhiannon started and all of the sudden everybody darted towards the stage. Apparently the first three rows were allowed up, so I grabbed my tourboook and mad a mad dash for a spot in front of Stevie's microphone. I was successful and I was only a few feet away from Stevie the whole night. I got to see every little hand motion it was great! Rhiannon was wonderful! Stevie was looking down at the front of the stage and seemed pretty excited that everyone was right at her feet. I'm sure as a performer it gives you a rush to see an excited audience instead of a letharic one! Stevie looked straight at me and I gave her a big smile. I swear she recognized me from the night before. Afterall, we did hold hands for several seconds in Tampa! lol The ending of Rhiannon was great and she grabbed the mic stand and leaned back and she was just this beautiful witchy woman.

Sorcerer was amazing seeing it so close up! I really love this song live! She belted out the "Tired... thirsty!!!" line and ade these little motions with her hands.... who knows what the meaning is?

HAEWAFY was breathtaking yet again! She sang this song beautifully. "I have given that to you, if it's all I ever do. I want you to remember..." was like a line to Stevie's fans. She's given us this beautiful music. At least that is what the song meant to me. I got chills...

Circle Dance was great and took on a new meaning when Stevie told us that the song was written about a person's father. It really helped me interprate the lyrics and it was just amazing!

The Gold Dust Woman wail was fantastic!!!!

Standback was the best Standback I have ever seen!!!! And I have seen Standback 8 times in the last couple years. Seeing it so close up was great! The twirls were in full force and the high kick was so sassy and hot! This song was just so energetic! I don't know what was so great tonight... I think it was a combination of the twirls and high energy and being so close up to the stage and seeing every expression on her face. I love the twirls, I'm amazed by them actually!

FFG was the best I've ever seen! She held the notes for so long and it was just amazing! Only Stevie can rock out to lines from Humpty Dumpty and get away with it!

Stevie dedicated Landslide to a roadie or maybe it was a bandmember who was leaving Stevie and the gang for the Backstreet Boys. Stevie said it so sarcastic as if she meant "You're leaving us for that boy band? Who do you think you are?" LOL I was cracking up! I took pictures during Landslide and of course none of them came out. I thought I was getting these great shots and as luck would have it they all automatically deleted from the camera or something! I have decided that I am cursed when it comes to cameras at concerts. This happened at the Atlantic City show too when my film got exposed! I am determined to get some good shots the next time. So, it just gives me an excuse to see another Stevie show!

Edge of 17 was great, but I didn't get to touch Stevie! Since I was directly center stage there were speakers blocking Stevie from being able to shake hands. It was okay though because I got to shake bother of her hands the night before! The ending of Edge was incredible! I love the "It sounds like you!!!" lines! The ending was alot of gibberish which of course got me all excited! She twirled a lot and I was taking pictures of them (again little did I know they were all being deleted as soon as I took the picture. I swear, I'm cursed!)

Rock and Roll was amazing! The pants were hot!!! I love the way she sings this song "It's been a long time since I took a stroll" she belts out while wiggling her hips!!! Amazing!!! She through her hat off again and was really hot during this song. She clearly had the most energy reserved for this song.

Stevie looked beautiful for Beauty and the Beast! I wouldn't know how the song was because some girl next to me wouldn't shut up! Thankfully, I had seen Beauty and the Beast at Caesars and nothing could top the Vegas versions, so I wasn't too mad. This lady kept asking me for phone number and email address so I could send her the pictures I was taking. The ironic part being that there were no pictures!

This lady actually had backstage passes so after the show I started kissing her ass, but it was no use!!! This lady, who wouldn't shut up during Beauty and the Beast somehow gets to meet Stevie and me, a person who is madly in love with Stevie, will probably never meet her. Go figure!

So it was an amazing night!!! Stevie was in great form tonight and the security was very relaxed letting everyone take pictures, and letting everyone up to the stage. I was so lucky to have been right at the front of her mic stand all night!

On the way home we got a flat tire at midnight on the freeway! So, we ended up getting home at about 3 in the morning! But it was worth it!!! Stevie rocked my world last night!!! Everything was great, the only bummers being that my camera is **** and I didn't get to enjoy B&theB. Like I said, this gives me the perfect excuse to go to another show sometime in the near future!

Sorry for writting a book, but it helps me remember things by writing them down like this. Sometimes after the show you're in a Stevie induced fog and can't remember many details. But once you start writting, they come pouring out!

Thanks for the fun review!

Just bc someone has a backstage pass doens't mean they are going to meet Stevie. Its possible they might not even see her at all backstage. Passes dont always give someonce access to all backstage areas.

He's a lucky man! If I had the money I'd be taking a Stevie style road trip this summer too!
