My 2nd Atlanta Review

[TwistedGypsy]

So I went back for more last night and had 3rd row. The only thing that I noticed that was different was when Stevie first walked out Monday she had on pants and tonight she came out in a skirt with the ankle boots. Once again she was right on point. I think opening with Stand Back really keeps the pace up. Oh I also noticed that there was a smaller crowd than Monday.
As far as the people, they were much better except for 2 but that story comes later. You know its kind of hard to give the highlights right now cause the whole show was just fantastic. She seemed so comfortable and so happy up there.
Alright I have to mention these 2 people even though I hate to, but it gives you an idea of what kind of people comes to Chastain. This couple had front row right in front of me and I could tell they weren't true fans but oh well. So I make right up to the stage and they were behind me well as other people started coming up thats when things got bad. All of a sudden I hear the woman behind me say "make way for the big girl". This bitch said it like 15 times and at one point I turned around and that wasn't necessary and Stevie was singing! Well then her husband starts telling these girls not to touch him. Well that was inevitable during Edge Walk, so he shoved one of the girls and were calling them "fat ****ing whores" . And when he said that again I turned around and said you need to ****ing chill out and a bunch of us were trying to get securities attention. Finally though they did get kicked out. Thats why I hate Chastain once again. I think at concerts they should put a limit on how many beers you have and not be able to sell whole ****ing bottles of wine cause things like this happen. But despite those 2 people I had a great time and met some great people. Oh I almost forgot I got a Thank You card to give to Stevie and she took it and got another double hand shake and thank you. Good Times.
Also Chris Isaak is the **** and I would love to see him again in concert.

*I'm going to start uploading pics and videos.

Glad you had fun and wish I could have been there!!!!

Thanks for the B&B!!!!

Thanks for the review. I'm always afraid of running into rude people at concerts. Glad you had a good time despite these people. Yeah, some people just can't hold their liquor. I've been lucky so far (knock wood) that I haven't run into any at any Stevie concerts.

I'm going to the Atlantic City show @ the Borgata in 6/16. So how was security there? I guess they didn't stop you from taking pics. Is Stevie's set list the same as when she first started out? How long is Chris on & how long is Stevie on?

Glad to hear that is was so great. Can't wait for the pics and vids

As far as taking pictures Monday they were telling us not to take them, but last night they said if you take pictures turn the flash off. And I think that comes from Stevie herself.
Our show started at 7:30 and the shows always start earlier than normal cause concerts have to be over at a certain time because of the neighborhood noise ordinance.

Your welcome Jason!

I had third row and security made a point of blocking us from going to stage for edge walk. Meanwhile, people from behind us were making it up there. The guard came right to our row and told me and 2 other girls to park it back in our seats, we were not doing anything rude or wrong. He even got a cop to back him up and prevent the 3rd row on my side from going up! What an attitude. He was so focused on 3rd row sitting that he missed all the people coming from the 20th row and so forth. Also, had 2 drunk ladies next to me. One of them was really nutz. So not my best experience.

[TwistedGypsy]

You must have been on the opposite side from me. Cause I remember you said you were like seats 13 & 14 and I was seat 10 but 2 guys were in those seats.
I walked over to your side but I didn't want to sound like a dork asking people if they were from The Ledge. You get some strange looks when you ask that.

[Stephanie]

I was on the side closer to the hill to go up for food and beverages. I looked for you too, but I didn't think the person in seat 10 on my side was you either. Bad luck with the security. THe nutty drunk lady did give me a $66 tip for bringing her back a drink. I was mostly sad to be away from my 3 month old baby for the first time for 10 hours, so that diminished my experience too. I think I hate chastain though b/c of security/venue guests.

Thanks for the reviews...But sucks that security were asshats yet again.

[AliceLover]

Thanks for the review. Im glad you had a great time!

I am getting nervous about these people and alcohol at concerts. my aunts and unles always drink when they go to concerts, but they never get violent like some these people. Almost every reviewer here has mentioned rowdy fans. Now, when I go to a Stevie or Lindsey concert, I get very defensive. I even yelled at a little older woman in Burlington because she wanted us to wait to get us to our front row seats. If someone ****s with me at my show, Im gunna be pissed.

Yeh, I'm sick of people going to concerts and not really going to see the artist but rather to party and drink and ruin it for others! My 9 year old daughter is coming with me to see Stevie on the 26th of June and she seems a little nervous because of what happened last year at the Tom Petty concert that I took her to. Mind you, it was her first concert and we were on the lawn. Stevie cancelled this show ( it was only Tom) and then a big fat drunk got in a pushing match right where we were sitting and fell on my daughter and her lawn chair! I immediately pushed her up through the crowd a row or so to safety where a few nice people helped me out. What a scary first concert experience for her! I wanted to kick that guy's behind! For this concert we are in the 7th row up front in chairs~ and I keep telling her Stevie concerts aren't as bad, but she's still a little nervous thinking something like that might happen. This is at a casino w/ only 5,000 people so its a way smaller crowd~ I'm sure it will be okay! I just wish they wouldn't let people get drunk! I think there should be a 2 drink limit. People are so queer at concerts sometimes!

that is frightening. That reminds of a fight that broke out between two guys at the end of the Street Angel show I attended in Philly. The were one row up from my brother and I and they nearly came crashing into both of us. Well they would have if we hadn't seen them coming and gotten out of the way. Concerts do seem to give some people a reason to act like morons.

someone brought about 10 balloons to soboba for stevie's birthday. those behind that person called her a bitch which became a shouting match. the girl had difficulty in controlling the balloons to the satisfaction of those behind, so she let them go and they rose to the roof. while the balloons probably did obstruct the view of those behind, it was too bad stevie didn't receive the girl's gift.

Two drinks?! That's ungodly. Maybe four. Maybe.
