I got to see Stevie at River Bend Music Center in Ohio lastnight.I have never
been lucky enough to see her in concert before and let me say I was NOT dissappointed
!!!! She was so beautiful and graceful and she`s one of the few people that sound
BETTER live than she does on c-d.She played a nice long show for a packed house
of screaming fans and on the way out everyone of us were pumped up and completely
satisfied.Thank you Stevie for shareing your talent with such style-I am reminded
why I love you in the first place !!!!! love you always,deedee

Here's my review of the 7/11 concert in Cincinnati, Ohio: I just returned from
the Cincinnati concert for Trouble in Shangri-La, and there's only one word to
describe it: Amazing. This was my first Stevie concert, and the experience was
more wonderful than I could have imagined. I went with my parents and best friend,
and we arrived very early to the show. While we stood in line to get in, I could
hear the band practicing 'Outside the Rain' and 'Too Far From Texas' in the background,
with Sheryl singing. Once we got to our seats, there was a long wait until Jeffery
Gaines took the stage. He was wonderful on vocals and guitar, but his songs were
a little too dark and bland for me. After about six of his songs, and then other
wait while the crew set up the stage, the opening chords of Destiny's Child's
'Bootylicious' played over the loudspeakers (these chords are also the opening
ones for Edge of Seventeen, as most of you probably know). After this, we heard
a beautiful version of the Trouble in Shangri-La chorus played over the speakers,
with Stevie's voice overlapping in a really beautiful form. While this played,
the band took the stage, all except for Stevie. Finally, she appeared, and they
started "Stop Draggin My Heart Around', with Waddy singing Tom Petty's parts.
After a couple more Stevie classics (I won't list all the songs, since I'm sure
some people want to be surprised) Sheryl joined Stevie for Gold Dust Woman, looking
better than ever. She continued to show up off and on during the show, and even
took the stage by herself for "My Favorite Mistake." Both women sounded
awsome, making very few mistakes except for one part during "Edge of Seventeen"
when Stevie came in too early. During the entire performance, there were Stevie
fans dancing in their seats, clapping, and singing along. Riverbend Music Center
was completely filled, and the fans were loving every minute of the performance!
Everything was pretty much perfect. Stevie, Sheryl, the band, everyone sounded
wonderful, and the background on the stage was beautiful, done exactly like the
cover of Shangri-La. As I said before, I won't give all the details of the concert,
because I'm sure there are people who want to be surprised. All I can say is that
everyone who attends the following concerts in this tour will be greatly surprised
and delighted by the performance. Stevie Nicks is at her very best this time,
and I wish her the best of luck in the following concerts. Rock on, Stevie!
