Well, I got a last minute ticket to see Stevie play in New Orleans this Saturday. A nice weekend jaunt is in order!

Have fun!!

Thanks! We're getting ready at the hotel now - it's in walking distance of the Superdome. Hopefully we won't get too sweaty walking there, because we just spent an hour trying to look our best!

Soda; Waiting for the Concert review!!! Can't wait to hear about it

Well I'm back in Memphis safe!

I did over seven hours of driving today and I'm pretty tired, but I'm SO glad I went. I don't have the energy to give all the details now, but the one thing that blew all the fans away was that she performed a song live for the FIRST TIME EVER!!! It is a song called "New Orleans" that she wrote after Katrina and she actually teared up introducing it. To hear a never-before-performed song in such an emotional context... oh my gosh... it was stunningly powerful. She flubbed a few lines since she'd never done it before and apologized, and I was thinking, "You have NOTHING to apologize for! You were incredible!!"

The downside: This was an AARP convention and instead of sweet, friendly older people at the show as I assumed there would be, there were a lot of grumpy, crotchety old non-fans who apparently had gotten tickets as part of an AARP package and couldn't care less about Stevie Nicks. I have never been in a less engaged audience. Most of them just sat there, not even tapping their feet, and stared at her as if they were watching a movie. They didn't even seem to recognize the Rumours material. Most of these people appeared to be in their seventies. They would've been in their 30s or 40s when Fleetwood Mac was all over the radio. How could they not know these songs?! Even a signature song like "Rhiannon" was greeted with blank stares from the majority of attendees that I could see - forget the solo material. The guy on the other side of my friend actually dozed off (admittedly, he looked to be pretty old and it was after 9:00). I hope our guys never wind up playing this convention!

Glad you're home safe and had a great time!

Soda, So glad you go to see the show. Can't wait to hear more about it & the set list. Very cool that she did a new song!

Grumpy old people who aren't fans in the audience??? I don't like the sound of that one.....Wait, a guy fell a sleep!! Oh no.
I'm sure that by this time Stevie has seen it all, so I doubt it would rattle her.
I would think people in their 70's would be familiar with her, but too bad they didn't appreciate the show. At least she didn't have to tell people to sit down, like Don does! Hope they at least clapped!!!
