journal . pics . commentary
With my huge un-edited journal...I thought I should have a simplified rendition of the events of the evening...This was my third time seeing Stevie - The 1st time was in 1983 during the Wild Heart tour in Oakland, CA - The 2nd time was in 1998 during the Enchanted tour in Denver, CO...
HIGHLIGHTS
Absolutely gorgeous stage, the perfect backdrop for Stevie's Shangri-La
Seeing Waddy together with Stevie again and sounding better than ever
"Dreams" Stevie held us in the palm of her hand as we stood mesmerized
"Gold Dust Woman" Stevie twirled and danced, we were taken back with this performance
Stevie seemed completely at ease and really happy
"Rhiannon" How fitting to witness this song as the living legend herself pours out her heart right in front of you
"Sorcerer" Amazing even without the high notes or Sheryl Crow
"Planets of the Universe" I love how Stevie told us how this song came about... absolutely incredible to hear live
"Fall From Grace" Rocked the house with high powered electricity only Stevie could deliver
SUPRISES
Transition from "Enchanted" into "Dreams" I didn't miss "Outside The Rain" as much as I thought I would...
"Every Day" was very well done I really love the song now
"Bombay Sapphires" No tech problems and Stevie sang it like she's been singing it for a thousand years
I really didn't noticed that she chose to wear comfy shoes over her trademark platform boots
She thanked us after "Rhiannon" saying a song is really only as good as the audience
Holding her hand while she smiled and said, "Thank You"
The outfit she wore during "HAEWAFY" and the top hat was perfect even though she had to keep adjusting it throughout the song
Crying my eyes out as she sang "HAEWAFY" accompinied by a single piano
Hanging out at stage front during the last 3 songs!
