Dallas & Houston, TX - July 17, 18, 1998
We had 3 days off in
Dallas, TX. I love Texas. Two of my favorite bands are from Texas,
David Garza and The Old 97's. I went down to Austin to visit a couple
of friends. Austin is great. I would live there if I could, but I
don't know if I could handle the heat. In Dallas we stayed at the
Melrose Hotel. It was so beautiful. It had the 20's vibe to it. I love
that era. Anyway when I came back from Austin, I checked in again and
this time they gave me a Suite. It was so nice. It was like a little
apartment without the kitchen, in fact it was almost as big as my 2
bedroom 2 bath apartment in LA. I didn't get to catch much night life on
my days off. None of my favorite bands were playing and I had to
recouperate from getting sick in Kansas City. Jen and I jumped into my
rental and headed for Deep Ellum, I don't know how we finally got to Deep
Ellum, but a U Turn here and a U Turn there and boom we were there. We
checked out a couple of stores, but it was too early in the day and too
HOT so we headed back to the hotel which wasn't an easy task. Again we
did a couple of U Turns and somehow ended up at the hotel. I guess my
California driving experience came in handy. We went to eat at this
Vegitarian Restaurant (the Solar Cafe)that was litterally spitting
distance from the hotel. It was so good. Steve McDonald (the guitar
tech) found a Sushi joint nearby and for the 3 days off he ate sushi for
lunch and dinner. I think it was called Sushi on McKinney. Jen and I
decided to venture to the nearby Mall, I can't remember the name of it.
The one thing I remember about the Mall that I thought was neat is that
they have a big fountain that houses some ducks and some turtles. We then
found a Whole Foods Market which was music to our ears. They have a
chain in California so it was almost like being at home. We played at
the Starplex Amphitheatre which is a familar venue to me. I've seen many
a shows there. Dallas is Boz's home town so he had a lot of friends and
family at the show. My friend Ken (he's in the Old 97's) and his fiance
Heather came to the show. That's the nice thing about touring, you get
to visit your friends for free. I didn't get to check out that much of
the show just a few songs. I'm sure you can guess at least one. Next we
are off to Houston, TX. When I think of Houston I think of "REALITY
BITES". That's one of my favorite movies. You know, "You, Me, and five
bucks". We go straight from Dallas to Houston, no hotels, we are
showering at the gig. I wake up in Houston, TX. This is a Steve
Lawler show, he's the Pace Representative. I met him last year when he
was on tour with Fleetwood Mac. Two of Lawler's favorite sayings:
"What's Happening?" and "I'm just drifting through life". He's funny
and fun to work with. I go to the production office to find a note from
my co-worker Lisa Hilton who is on the Chicago/Hall and Oates Tour. She
had been in Houston the night before while I was in Dallas and now she's
in Dallas while I'm in Houston. I felt bad that I wasn't thoughtful
enough to leave her a note in Dallas. Oh well, next time. I got to
climb the spot towers today, because the riggers did such a bad job of
hanging my banners. It looked like they just kinda threw them up there.
It makes me think of that saying, "If you want a job done right then
you have to do it yourself." It was actually kinda fun. It's a
combination of being scared and getting a rush from being so high up.
Nancy Johnson from the Corporate Office came to the show. It's nice to
meet people that you've coresponded with. I haven't met any of the
other Road Warriors yet, I just seem to miss them. When we were leaving
the venue I noticed that there was a Mall right next to it. I mean it
was spitting distance and no one told me. That's the only bad thing
about show days all you see is the venue. We are off to Denver. Till
next time. Over and Out.
Denver, CO - July 21, 1998
We flew into Denver from Houston. Again we didn't have much time to
sleep, but Jennifer and I made sure that we had a wake up call and that
the alarm was set so that we wouldn't have a situation like when we left
Florida for home. It was nice we all checked in as a group. Trying to
get 20 people together and on time is a task. That's Jennifer's job,
Thank God it's not mine. We all rode on the plane together, but none of
us sat by each other. Everyone pretty much wanted window seats. I like
it because I have something to lay my head against to sleep instead of
someone's shoulder that you don't even know. Although I didn't get much
sleep due to crying babies and a kid that kept kicking the back of my
seat. We had a couple of days off. As soon as we checked in Paul and I
walked down to 16th St (which, I guess is the main strip downtown) to
Starbucks to get a Power Frap. We stubbled into this cool candle store
right next to it which was convienent since I needed to stock up on some
candles for Stevie's dressing room. The girls that worked there were so
nice. The store is called Breaking The Mold and they even make their
own candles. I picked up Rain and Playground scented candles among
other things. I have some friends here so I spent my days off hanging
out with them. My friend Matthew and his new wife Naomi and her kid
Shiloh came down to visit me. They are expecting a new member to the
family also. We were walking out of the lobby at around 4:30 pm when I
saw our bus drivers walk in to my surprise. They drove all the way from
Houston to Denver in record time. I went to a punk rock show at the 15th
St. Tavern with my friend John and Vinnie. John's from Ft. Collins and
he's in a band called the Armchair Martians. They've been compared to
Husker Du. I really like them. When we were walking to the show on
Curtis St. we walked past these vents in the sidewalk. And each time we
would walk by one there would be a different sound coming from them. One
of them had a Lion's roar coming from it. So if you're ever in Denver
walk down Curtis St. and check it out. Vinnie said that they always
change the sounds, so it's different every time. This was the first time
that it has actually rained during the show. We had to postpone the show
a little bit before the acoustic set because we lost a little bit of
power. Stevie kept her cool and talked to the crowd while they were
fixing the problem. The crowd just cheered and cheered and cheered.
Like I said before we have a great crew and they had the power up and
running in no time, 5 minutes to be exact. Stevie started into "Gold and
Braid" (which I'm beginning to love). She told the crowd that she wrote
"After the Glitter Fades" so that hopefully it would get her through the
bad times. The rain stopped by the time she started into "Rose Garden"
and I stayed to watch "Sleeping Angel". There are four songs that I
definately try to watch every night, of course "Landslide" and now "Gold
and Braid", "Rose Garden" and "Sleeping Angel". I was amazed again by
how dedicated her fans are. The rain did not matter to them. This was a
open venue so there was no cover even if you had seats. Well, we are off
to Phoenix. It's going to be a long ride. See Ya. Pamm
Phoenix, AZ - July 23, 1998
The drive to Phoenix was long, around 14 hrs. A few people from our bus
flew cause they needed to be in Phoenix before us. But the funny thing
was that we arrived at the Hotel about 30 minutes after them. I actually
prefer driving as opposed to flying because it seems like you get a
better and a longer rest. There was a Mall within walking distance so of
course I had to check it out. I ran into Bruce our drum tech and
Richard, Oscar, and Lisa from Boz's band on the way there. I also ran
into Scott and Kiki (from Boz's band). The show in Phoenix was the
best so far. It was a benefit for the Heart Foundation and it was a sold
out show. We played at the America West Arena which is home of the
Phoenix Suns. They were having a basketball camp for kids, but I didn't
get to see any of the team players. Bummer. This is Stevie's hometown
so she had a lot of family and friends there. I watched "Landslide" and
she dedicated it to her parents. At the end I swear she had a tear in
her eye, which was very moving to me. The crowd got a bit of a treat
cause Mick Fleetwood appeared on stage during Land and Lenny's drum and
percussion solo right before the "Edge of Seventeen". I think it's
amazing to see them jam and it was even more amazing when Mick joined
them. The crowd went wild. Another big surprise was that Don Henley
joined Stevie for "Leather and Lace" . It was so amazing to see these
musicians get together and do their thing, it gave me chills. WOW,
that's about all I can say. Two of my volunteers from Boston showed up
and gave me a present, which I thought was very nice. Thank You
Girls!!! Well, we are off to Vegas. Good Night! PAMM
Las Vegas, NV - July 25, 1998
So we're in Las Vegas, a city of lights, a city that never sleeps and a
place that you can practically smoke anywhere, in the lobby, in the
restaurants, and even in the elevators. I like to have a cigarette
every now and then, but that was a little out of hand. Especially when
there's no ventilation. We stayed at the MGM Grand since we were playing
at their Garden Arena. When we stepped off the bus to go to the lobby
and check in, OH MY GOD was that a walk. It was such a treck and a maze
to get to the lobby. I was dying since I was probably carrying twice my
weight (or so it seemed). We walked by all these slot machines, they're
everywhere! I restrained myself from stopping and throwing some money
in. It's always tempting especially when you hear all the slot machines
going off and spitting out coins. My room was cool, it had the Wizard of
Oz theme going on. Which happens to be one of my favorite movies of all
time. Jen and I went to eat dinner at the Rainbow Cafe, it sorta had a
Disney kinda vibe to it. We ran into Wheel, PI, and Bruce and then Jen
and I parted ways. I went to check out New York New York and try my luck
at some slots. I quickly lost about $20 bucks and decided that was
enough. The show in Vegas was great. Chris Isaak was there. He was so
nice and down to earth and not to mention very handsome. He gave Mindy a
sharpie tattoo and he sang a song to Chris Nicks little girl. I was
helping Sharon tape the handle on her suitcase back together with some
black gaff tape and Chris Isaak was telling us a story about how his dad
always asks him to bring some gaff tape home when he's out on tour
because his dad just loves using that tape. Fanatic was there also.
It's a show on MTV where they get a fan to interview their favorite
artist or actor and etc. Towards the end of the show I went to take one
of my banners down that was at one of the entrances and I decided to try
my luck at some slots since I had 3 dollars on me. I quickly made 30
bucks and called it quits. On my way back, I saw David Spade (you know
the comedian) and his date. After we were all done Paul, Jill (she took
Janine's place, Janine got a job on a movie and left us), and I were out
having a cigarette by the bus when this guy came up to us asking about
Stevie of course. Well, we all started talking and he was telling us
how he wanted to come to the show tonight but was unable to because he
had to work. I think he works at New York, New York in the magic shop.(
He wrote his name down for me, but unfortunately like everything else
I've seem to misplace it.) So, of course we asked him to show us some
tricks. He did the basic tricks, you know with the scarf going in one
hand and then pulling it out of his mouth. The thimble going from one
hand to the next. You know the hand is quicker than the eye. He did
this amazing trick, it was actually hilarious. The stage manager from
the Garden Arena came up to us and the magician asked him if he could
help him out with this trick, so of course he said yes. It's this trick
where he somehow took the guys watch off of his wrist without him even
knowing it. I can't explain it, it's one of those "you have to see it
for yourself" kinda things. The funny thing was when he told the guy
that he would give him a consolation prize for helping him out with the
trick. He showed him two watches on his wrist and told him to pick one.
The guy picked the second one and the magician said, "Are you sure you
want that one?, I think you should take the other one". It took him a
couple of times before he realized that the watch that he didn't pick in
the beginning was actually his watch. The magician was slick, (I wish I
could remember his name!!). I happened to have a signed poster from
Stevie on the bus so I gave it to him for his entertainment. Thank
You!! That's it for Vegas. See you in Cali. PAMM
Los Angeles, CA - July 27, 1998
I'm going back to CALI, CALI, CALI. I'm going back to CALI. Yeah, we
had a week in California. It's good to be home. It was nice to go home
and unload all the stuff that I have acquired in the last few weeks. We
kicked off the first show in Cali at Universal Amphitheater which is
right down the street from where I live. Whenever you do a show in LA
you know it's going to be a zoo. Being at Universal was like being at
home, because I've worked a lot of shows there. Scott Tinkelman and
Matt Mohi from Best Buy came to the show. Matt was on the Michael
Bolton/Wynonna Tour. Universal Amphitheater is inside the theme park and
all three of us had talked about trying to sneak away and go on one of
the rides, but that never happened. Bummer. The show was SOLD OUT!!
The fans got a bit of a surprise when Mick Fleetwood joined Stevie again
for Edge of Seventeen. I didn't see him, but I heard Dennis Miller was
at the show. Earlier in the night I was walking by the entrance to the
dressing rooms when I saw Mick Fleetwood being detained by the security
guard because he didn't have a pass. Apparently the guard didn't
recognize him or just didn't know who he was. Mick looked at me (I guess
he remembered me from either the show in Phoenix or from when I worked
the Fleetwood rehearsals last year) and I had to rescue him, his wife,
and his assistant. The security there was the weirdest. When I was out
walking around with Scott and Matt we ran into Marty (the Tour Mgr) and
we were all trying to get into the front gate, but this security guard
wouldn't let us in because she didn't see us leave. We all had passes
on and it was apparent that we were working the show. I swear it took
about 15 minutes before we could find someone to vouch for us and let us
in. She almost made us walk all the way around to the back which is a
pretty far walk. Thank God we didn't have to do that. That's it for LA.
See ya later. Pamm
San Diego, CA - July 28, 1998
San Diego was a cool show. The weather was nice. The sun was out and
there was a cool breeze that was blowing so I didn't sweat that much
when I was out hanging banners. This was the first show that Boz Skaggs
didn't open up for Stevie. Instead we had AJ Croce opening up. He was
cool, his sound was sort of a blues sound. My friend Johnny Law came to
the show. He's an entertainment lawyer in San Diego. I bought my first
guitar. The guys from the band (Bret and Carlos) hooked me up with
Taylor Guitar and I got a Baby Taylor so I can start learning how to
play. Steve McDonald (our Guitar Tech) got oil spotted. Oil spotting is
when you leave someone. Steve ran in to use the phone and didn't tell
anyone so when the bus driver got there we had all been waiting for a
while and just assumed everyone was on the bus. We were a little bit
down the road when I went up to the front of the bus to get a drink. I
noticed that there was only four people in the front lounge and when I
went to the back of the bus I counted the people in the back. I only
counted 9 total and we were suppose to have 10. I mentioned it to
everyone and told them that I didn't see Steve and they said that he was
probably in the bathroom. So we just never thought about it after that.
Until 30 minutes later when Paul got a phone call from Steve, he was
still at the gig. So we had to pull over and the other crew bus went to
pick him up. Later he said he saw us pulling out and tried to run after
us, but couldn't get our attention. He thought we were winding him up.
You know since everyone on this tour is into that. Oh well. The lesson
learned, if you have to make a phone call or run to the bathroom right
before the bus is ready to pull out you had better let someone know.
That's all for now. GOODNIGHT!!!!! PAMM
Irvine, CA - July 31, 1998
We did a show at Irvine Meadows, again this is a familar venue to me.
The front gate of Irvine Meadows seems like a mile away so I was very
Thankful that they let me use a golf cart. The one they gave could hold
probably 10 people. It looked almost like an open ice cream truck with
fringes hanging off the roof. I felt like I was a tour guide at Disney
World or something, but I'm not one to complain. It was just hilarious
to me. Michael McDonald opened up for Stevie instead of Boz Skaggs.
This was the second show without him and his crew. I miss seeing those
guys, they are so nice. I do have to admit though that Michael McDonald
was great!! He did a lot of songs that I grew up on. I grabbed a song
list from his road mgr. Mark, but like everything else I've seem to
misplace it. Jill (the Wardrobe Asst.) told me that some guy jumped over
a fence and landed right in front of her while she was steaming Stevie's
clothes. He fell onto these bread trays got up and mumbled that he was
in the wrong place and climbed back up the way he came, he was gone by
the time she got security. I went out to watch "Landslide" again and
everyone had already rushed the stage. I stood beside Stevie's
bodyguard Dave and joked with him about me wanting to stage dive. He
said he would let me, but I didn't have enough nerve to go through with
it. Maybe if it was a punk rock show I'd do it. Oh, Madonna called our
production office today. Not to talk to Stevie, but to talk to Chris
Lantz (he mixes monitors for Stevie). I guess they are pretty good
friends. His son Kyle has been on the road with us since Nashville and
has been helping me out a lot. He's 13 and tonight it was easy to bribe
him into helping me since I had a golf cart, I let him drive. Anyway, we
were out collecting banners when this guy came up to me and asked me if
I was Pamm or if I new her. Of course I said I was me and he gave me a
card. He explained to me that it was a thankyou card for all of the
road reports that I have written. It was probably the sweetest card
that I have ever gotten. So I would like to say Thank You to Greg
Hunter for being so nice, you made my day!!!! I'm sending you something
in the mail. Well, that's it for now we are off to San Fran.
Goodnight!!! Pamm
Mountain View, CA - August 1, 1998
So we just got done doing a show at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, just
right outside of San Francisco. This was our second show out of three
in a row. The venue was so nice, it reminded me more like a theme park
than a venue. Backstage they had three Sony Play Stations and a
Basketball Game. There were also these monuments to Bill Graham. I
guess on New Year's Eve he liked to dress up and at his shows he would
come out of these huge objects dressed as Father Time. There was a big
Mushroom, a Skull and Roses, and a big World. All three of them have
these plaques in front of them that tell you about them. Out in the
venue there is this huge Totem Pole called the Healing Pole. It was
carved by this Polynesian Native and was dedicated to Bill Graham. The
Healing Pole tells a story, although I don't know exacting what. I just
know it is amazing to see. I was out on Stage Right watching
"Landslide" again with Don and Carlos when someone threw a T-Shirt on
stage. Bruce Jacoby (our drum tech) went out and grabbed the T-Shirt,
he came back and showed it to me. It was a Best Buy T-Shirt that said
on the back of it, "Stevie, Store #120 Loves You", way to represent!!!!
Don mentioned to me also that it was amazing to be in San Francisco
since this is where Stevie wrote most of her songs. I was taking my
banners down while the crowd was leaving and I heard someone yell out "I
love you Stevie", as if she could hear them. It's funny what some
people do, it just made me think of that commercial, you know the one
where the guy says "I love you Man!!". Stevie had a big Meet N Greet and
Jill and I were waiting for her to leave so that we could pack
everything up. Stevie's Manager Sheryl was there and she was playing
basketball with Stevie's dog Sara. It was so cute to watch little Sara
go after this huge basketball that was twice her size. She loved it!!!
Anyway that's it for San Fran, we are off to Concord!!!! Pamm
Reno, NV - August 5, 1998
We had a couple of days off in Reno, NV. It's like a mini Las Vegas.
When I stepped off the bus I thought we were in Vegas. Since we had a
couple of days off, Jen and I decided to hop on a plane and go see the
Beastie Boys in Salt Lake City. It was only an hour flight. Kiki's
boyfriend (she plays keyboards for Boz) runs the monitors for them and
he was hooking us up with passes. I tried booking a rent-a-car for us
before we left, but I had no luck. The entire city of Salt Lake was
sold out of cars. We just decided to try and wing it. We didn't know
how we were gonna get to the show or where we were staying. So when we
landed we went searching for a car, luckily I found one which was a
miracle considering that every car place I called was sold out. The Car
Rental place was in the city and right next to some hotels so it was
convenient for us to find a place to stay. We saw all these tour buses
at the hotel we stayed at and was wondering what tour they were on. It
turns out that it was Janet Jackson's Tour which is a Best Buy Tour, she
was playing at the same venue as the Beastie Boys. Not the same day of
course, the day after. I didn't find out about that until it was too
late, it would have been nice to meet one of my co-workers. Anyway, so
we get to the show only to find out that the passes that Steve (Kiki's
boyfriend) had left us was already given to someone else. The person at
the box office majorly messed up. So we had to wait for about an hour
before they cleared everything up. We missed a Tribe Called Quest, but
got out passes in time to see the Beastie Boys. What a great show!!!!!!
And what a way to spend your day off, I was in heaven. We flew back to
Reno the next day which was a show day for us. We got to the venue in
time for load-in. The venue basically looked like someone just threw a
stage and some chairs right in the middle of a parking lot. The weather
was sooooo hot, almost unbearable. I felt like I was gonna pass out
again due to the heat when I was out hanging banners. You might think
that I have an easy job, but it really isn't all that simple. A lot of
times I have no help at all and it's a real struggle to hang the banners
up by yourself. I look back and laugh at some of the things I've had to
do to hang banners. It's really hard when you don't have the height
like me. My Aunt came to the show in Reno, she just loves Stevie. The
show was amazing as usual. After the show they set off all these fire
works. It was like the Fourth of July. I really enjoyed the fireworks
since we didn't get to see any because we were in Florida on the Fourth
and they had all those fires going on. My Aunt got to meet Stevie this
time, boy was she so happy. I thought she was gonna cry. Again I have
gained so much respect for Stevie and for her music since I've been out
on this Tour. She is so nice when she meets people, she is definitely a
classy lady. Oh, I did try my luck at the slot machines again but no
luck. Our truck driver Wayne won about $1,500 in Vegas and he won
another $500 in Reno. Some people have all the luck, I'm jealous, wish
it could have been me. Well that's it for Reno. Only two more
shows!!!! God Bless!!!! PAMM
Seattle, WA - August 7, 1998
We had a day off in Washington, instead of staying in a hotel Jen and
Paul thought it would be a fun idea for all of us to camp out. We were
gonna camp out at The Gorge (which is where we were playing), but
instead Jen found this place about 20 minutes away called NO WAKE LAKE.
I heard on our drive in from Reno we crossed paths with Janet Jackson's
people again. They were on their way to Canada after playing Salt Lake.
When we pulled up to NO WAKE LAKE it was nothing what I expected. I was
thinking trees, lots of greenery and forest and a huge lake. Instead we
pulled up to a dirt road, with not that much greenery and a lake that
looked more like a pond to me than anything else. First Impressions can
be deceiving though. It turned out to be the funniest most relaxing day
off that we had ever spent. We had a two bedroom house overlooking the
lake with a pool table and a washer and dryer. We pulled our buses in
and parked them, since the house could only sleep 8 and there was about
20 of us. We had a catered lunch and dinner that was just excellant.
And the people that own NO WAKE LAKE were so nice. They had two jet
skis for us to play with, a boat so that we could ski, and a little
motorcycle to ride. It was like summer camp. They also had 5 of the
sweetest dogs there. I went riding with Mel (he's one of the lighting
guys) on one of the jet skis. He promised me that he wouldn't flip it
over, but he did. It was hilarious. Everyone said they saw a big
splash, then there was silence and then came the laughter. We had to
get rescued cause we got water in the engine and we had to get towed in.
It was so much fun. I also learned how to ski for the first time. I
was pretty proud of myself, I got up on the first try. To end the
festivities we had a big bon fire. And then off to bed everyone went.
All of us sleep in the buses except Jill. She was the only one that
sleep in the house. She was the smart one. So the next morning we had
a small breakfast and I went into the orchard and picked some fresh
peaches and apples for our juicer. We were all sad that we had to go
back to work and wished that we could stay another day. It was a fun
ending for the tour. It was a chance for us to all hang out and do
things together as a family, because that's basically what we are. The
Gorge was just beautiful, it overlooks the Colombia River. I missed the
most beautiful sunset unfortunately. The Gorge sorta has a little
mascot, her name is Willow and she's a German Shepard mix. She was a
funny dog, she liked to chase the light from a flashlight. Boz Skaggs
joined us again!! It was great to see those guys again, I missed them!!
Kiki told me that she walked down to the river which looked like an
amazing hike. She said it took her about an hour or so and that there
was a little water fall just a 20 minute hike away. I wanted to check
it out, but was unable to tear myself away from work. It was the next
to the last show and I had to do some cleaning and organizing. Jen and
I went to check out (you guessed it) "Landslide" and OH MY GOD was the
house just packed!!!!! I looked out at the crowd and could see the
banners that I had hung and thought to myself "A job well done!". Well,
we are off to Portland. Pamm
Portland, OR - August 8, 1998
We were only in Portland for the show day, so I didn't get to see any of
the city just the venue. We played at the Rose Garden Arena, which
Stevie has a song called "Rose Garden" also and it's one of my
favorites. I'm amazed everyday at how the truck drivers are able to
squeeze those big rigs into tight spaces. I'm very impressed with
Kelly, she's the only lady driver out on our tour. I don't know how
they back those trucks in and out, I just know I wouldn't be able to do
it. Which reminds me that I always forget to mention that pretty much
at every venue there are always some lady stagehands. I think it's
great that women are given the opportunity in this male dominated
business. YOU go Girls!!!:-) This wasn't a Best Buy city so I had some
extra tickets and Jen and I went up front to give them away. People
just can't believe that I just want to give tickets away for free no
strings attached!! I had the same problem with some Stevie posters that
I had left over. I went out in the concourse to give them away. A lot
of people turned me down I think because they thought I was selling them
or something, I mean they couldn't believe that I was just giving them
away for nothing. But as soon as one person caught on it became a
feeding frenzy and the posters were gone within seconds. One of my jobs
that I had accumilated on tour was to put stuff in Stevie dressing room
for her to autograph. Since this was our last show I had a ton of stuff
for her to sign which I felt bad about, but Stevie is a Pro and a
Trooper and she signed them all. I made it a point to watch all of my
favorite songs that Stevie does (I'm sure you can guess which ones)
since this was the last show for me. A lot of the crew still had
Woodstock and VH-1 ahead of them, but this was the end of the line for
me. Bummer. Boz came into the Production Office to say Bye to us which
I thought was very nice!!! I'm gonna miss him, his band and his
crew!!!! They are so nice, I love them all. Jen and I were in the
Production Office when we heard the start of "Landslide", it was a mad
dash for us to get to the stage!!! We made it within seconds. Instead
of watching from the side of the stage like we always do we decided to
join the crowd in the front row. It was so amazing to be in the energy
of the crowd and to see Stevie sing "Landslide" one last time!!! Every
night Stevie and the Band take a bow on stage, but in Portland Stevie
asked the whole crew to join her on stage and take a bow. It was so
cool to stand on stage and see all the people clap and scream for her.
She even brought little Sara Bella on stage. I was very sad to have to
say goodbye to my family for the last 3 months. Everyone on that tour
was so great and very helpful to me!! I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO
EVERY ONE!!!!!!!! It's been a long hard road and part of me is sad that
