Dave has hinted of surprises..... will Stevie show up ????? Anyone going ??

I bought tix but could not get away, I sort of hope she does make an appearance, but will then have to go to the woodshed and kick myself !!

I'm going. I've heard rumors she'll be there and it is being filmed so we'll see.

It seems likely that she would be there with the duet with her on his new album...But there was other duet's as well on his album I believe? So we shall see....

Martina is going to be there for sure. As for Stevie, she hasn't been at any of the rehersals.....

Remember, Stevie doesn't want any of her songs on youtube before the album comes out so I doubt she'll be there. But if she is there she'll probably just sing Landslide, with Dave on guitar.

Thank God that didn't happen!

And, she did say that about her songs - but she did a song with Dave on his new cd. I'm not sure if it's going to be on hers. It's called "Cheaper than Free". The liner notes in the vinyl say that it was a phrase Reese Witherspoon used one night when she was visiting the studio and Dave and Stevie loved the line. When Dave went to Nashville to record, he called Stevie and asked her to write the lyrics, she sent the finished lyrics at 2pm and he sent her the finished vocal at 5pm. He said: "It's a song that makes us both cry when we hear it together, and wherever it takes you as a listener or whomever you think about, whether a child, a lover, a parent, it wont' fail to make you pause for thought and reflect on what life is really all about. Sharing that love."

Alas, Stevie wasn't there tonight. It was an awesome show though! I was pleasantly surprised. Totally impressed with Dave. Two thumbs up.

He did "Stevie Baby", mentioning that it was for someone who was a legend (paraphrasing) and who he had just finished producing an album for.

Edit: I am pretty sure Dave was wearing a crescent moon necklace. LOL.

The show was AMAZING! Dave Stewart really is the consumate entertainer! His band was tight and his backup singers were flawless, one in particular who sang "Would I Lie To You", which was incredible! The highlight of the evening for me was "Don't Come Around Here No More", as well as "Sweet Dreams/Missionary Man" - they kind of blended the two together.

His new songs are actually really good and very catchy. Ironically, the one song I didn't really enjoy all that much was "Stevie, Baby". It's sweet thathe wrote it for her, but in my opinion, it's just a weak song both lyrically and musically.

Martina was great on thier duet, but butchered "Here Comes The Rain Again". She screwed up the words THREE times!

All in all, it was a great show and I had a blast. Can't wait for the DVD!

Oh, and Kena, it was really nice to meet you last night!

I thought HCTRA was amazing! Of course I wouldn't have known if Martina messed the words up anyway. And, to be fair they were all reading that prompter all night.

Wow, if Dave and Stevie tour with each other to promote their respective CDs, that concert experience will be AMAZING! Well, it is AMAZING anyway with Stevie but it will be even more AMAZING!

Thanks for the review! I am glad you enjoyed the show and if Dave tours with Stevie, it will be an awesome night of music!
