The ticket on sale for the Charlotte show got cancelled at the last minute, so they didn't play that show and a few others that were scheduled around that date. That left me to scramble to get a ticket for the Atlanta show and all that was available was a lawn seat. When I arrived for the show it was freezing cold. Someone booked an outdoor show in the fall/winter. I had layers and layers of clothes and was still freezing. It was memorable for all the wrong reasons. The show started late because the crew had to get heaters for the stage and Stevie wore a heavy coat through the whole show. When she sang Silver Springs she strained to hit the notes and the crowd around me gasped in surprise. It was a nice show and I was glad I got to see them especially since that was the end of them adding more shows to the tour.
I was able to get an free advance copy of the CD, so that was a thrill. They were red hot at that moment, and everyone's darling.
