Unlike many of their peers, the pop-rock band has been able to somehow find an audience with younger listeners, who make up a large share of users on streaming platforms. Their albums and singles continuously rack up millions upon millions of plays–and their catalog is still selling, as well.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The beloved band’s single “Dreams” stands out as one of their biggest hits. It was a commercial win when it was first released decades ago, and in the past few years, it’s become a success on streaming sites. This week, the tune is back on one specific chart, as Americans are still eager to press play on the cut, even after so many years.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Dreams” reappears on this week’s Streaming Songs chart. The Billboard ranking tracks the most-played tunes on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and many others. It is genre-agnostic, which makes it very competitive. The list usually favors younger, more current acts–but Fleetwood Mac has bucked that trend.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On the latest version of the Streaming Songs chart, “Dreams” returns at No. 49. That’s a fairly low position on the 50-spot tally, but the fact that it’s found space on the ranking at all is impressive.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Even more impressive is the history of “Dreams” on the Streaming Songs chart. The tune once peaked at No. 6 on the tally, becoming not only Fleetwood Mac’s biggest hit on the ranking, but perhaps one of the oldest top 10s on the streaming-only roster. The cut reached an entirely new audience several years ago after going viral on TikTok, propelling the band to new heights on several streaming-focused lists.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As “Dreams” finds its way back to the Streaming Songs chart, it’s also on the rise on another, related list. The tune is up one slot to No. 7 on the current edition of the Rock Streaming Songs chart. As its name suggests, that tally only looks at the most-played titles in the country labeled as rock. In the past, it has conquered that roster.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Dreams” remains Fleetwood Mac’s only No. 1 hit on the Hot 100, so it’s not surprising that it has managed to stand out for years among a bevy of smashes the group released. The tune gave the band their only placement on the Streaming Songs chart and their only leader on the Rock Streaming Songs ranking. On the latter list, it’s one of their three tunes to find space, as “The Chain” peaked at No. 5 and “Landslide” rose as high as No. 14.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Fleetwood Mac On The Charts</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here's a look at how Rumour and other Fleetwood Mac albums are doing on the charts around the world this week (March 15, 2024).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>UK </b></span></div><div><b>"50 Years - Don't Stop"</b></div><div>#3 - Top 100 Albums Streaming Chart</div><div>#8 - Top 100 Albums Chart</div><div><br /></div><div><b>"Greatest Hits"</b></div><div>#83 - Top 100 Albums Sales Chart</div><div><br /></div><div><b>"Rumours"</b></div><div>#26 - Top 100 Albums Sales Chart</div><div>#26 - Top 100 Physical Albums Chart</div><div>#27 - Top 100 Albums Chart</div><div>#27 - Top 100 Albums Streaming Chart </div><div>#40 - Top 40 Vinyl Albums Chart</div><div>#70 - Top 100 Album Downloads Chart</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Ireland </b></span></div><div><b>"50 Years - Don't Stop"</b></div><div>#4 - Top 100 Albums Chart</div><div><br /></div><div><b>"Rumours"</b></div><div>#19 - Top 100 Albums Chart</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Canada</b></span></div><div>"Rumours"</div><div>#35 - Top 100 Albums Chart</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Australia </b></span></div><div><b>"Rumours"</b></div><div>#30 - Top 50 Albums Chart</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Belgium </b></span></div><div><b>"Rumours"</b></div><div>#74 - Top 200 Albums</div><div><br /></div><div><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Netherlands </span></b></div><div><b>"Rumours"</b></div><div>#13 - Top 100 Albums Chart</div><div>#7 - Top 33 Vinyl Chart</div><div><br /></div><div><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Austria </span></b></div><div><b>"Rumours"</b></div><div>#41 - Top 40 Albums Chart</div><div><br /></div><div><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">USA </span></b></div><div><b>"Rumours"</b></div><div>#14 - Top 25 Vinyl Albums</div><div>#19 - Top 100 Album Sales</div><div>#43 - Top 200 Albums Chart</div><div><br /></div><div><b>"Greatest Hits"</b></div><div>#196 - Top 200 Albums Chart</div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-48306359635133911622024-03-12T22:27:00.000-05:002024-03-12T22:27:05.919-05:00Stevie Nicks "The propulsive energy of her solo back catalog was infectious"<div style="text-align: left;"><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks Defy Time, Bring the Hits to AT&T Stadium</span></div><div>Fans turn out for an emotional recounting of hits from two pop icons.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

“Allentown” following), “Turn the Lights Back On” had the fumbling energy of a colt finding its legs.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Such a moment stuck out in an otherwise polished-to-practiced-perfection two-hour set purely because, well, at this stage of his career, finding his footing on a new single isn’t something Joel really does.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The track is his first such effort in 17 years, a formidable stretch of seasons, and the veteran singer-songwriter defied expectations to deliver a song that is of a piece with his beloved catalog.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">That catalog was selectively roamed Saturday (the concert was a make-good from an April 2023 postponement, owing to an illness in the touring party), as Joel heavily favored his 1980 LP Glass Houses and 1977’s The Stranger, declining to offer up any real rarities. (Of his 1974 album Streetlife Serenade, Joel cracked: “You don’t have that album — no one has that album. I don’t have that album.”)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">he crowd, well-lubricated and ready for a Saturday full of hits, was, at least where I sat, utterly indifferent to deeper cuts like “Zanzibar,” which featured a volcanic trumpet solo from Carl Fischer.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Joel was also backed by drummer Chuck Burgi, guitarist-vocalist Mike Delguidice, guitarist Tommy Byrnes, saxophonist Mark Rivera, keyboardist David Rosenthal and bassist Andy Cichon — Crystal Taliefero, a long-time Joel collaborator, was oddly absent Saturday.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yet perhaps Joel was somewhat invigorated by the challenge of new material. He seemed quite lively throughout and in shockingly strong voice — he reached for, and appeared to mostly hit, the sky-scraping high notes in the chorus of “An Innocent Man” (the contorted look on his face certainly suggested he was in the vicinity) — and playfully goofed around with the stadium’s cavernous echo, even yodeling at one point (“I like the acoustics in here”) and its enormous video board, fully operational on Saturday (“You’re watching a drive-in movie over there”)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The closing run of songs did build up a relentless, pile-driving energy: “Sometimes a Fantasy” into “Only the Good Die Young” into “River of Dreams” (complete with a Delguidice interpolation of ZZ Top’s “Tush”) into “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant” (again, Delguidice teeing it up with Puccini’s “Nessun Dorma”) and, finally, as mandated by law, “Piano Man.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The shock of the new isn’t a common sensation in these settings, but its effects were, ultimately, pleasing. Being forced to reckon with fresh energy after many, many years created some pleasurable ripple effects — whether Joel will submit himself to additional such shocks remains to be seen.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Joel was joined as co-headliner (the evening was billed as “Two Icons, One Night”) by Stevie Nicks, whose opening 90-minute set marked her first North Texas performance in eight years.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The 75-year-old singer-songwriter was likewise in fine fettle, her dusky contralto relatively undimmed by wear and tear. She was backed by an incredibly tight band: guitarist Waddy Wachtel, drummer Drew Hester, bassist Carlos Rios, keyboardists Ricky Peterson and Darrell Smith, and backing vocalists Sharon Celani and Marilyn Martin. (“We’re just road dogs,” Nicks explained. “We really, really enjoy doing this.”)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As with Joel, Nicks was concerned with the hits and little else (Joel did join her early in her set, to duet on “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”) — although in fairness, Nicks hasn’t released any fresh solo material since 2011, so the set list was always going to be full of the familiar and the popular</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The propulsive energy of her solo back catalog was infectious: “Stand Back” giving way to “Bella Donna” before detouring into Fleetwood Mac (“Gold Dust Woman,” which built up to a furious climax, full of smoldering guitar and whirling shawls). Nicks even trotted out her long-time vocal coach, Steve Real, for “Leather and Lace,” as Real gave a startlingly approximate recreation of Don Henley’s singing voice.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For her encore, Nicks leaned heavily into sentimentality and was richly rewarded. The three-song run (Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Rhiannon” and “Landslide,” the latter featuring a deeply moving photo montage of Nicks and the late Christine McVie) was as beautiful as it was poignant — “Landslide” even did the impossible: silencing the entire stadium as Nicks, backed only by Wachtel on acoustic guitar, sang of getting older too.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It was an emotional moment that drove home the point of the entire evening, even before Joel wrestled with the disruptive energy of the new.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Time is an inescapable element in these settings. You’re measuring the arc of a career in decades, the depth of impact in generations and the number of records sold in the double (or triple) digit millions. (Nicks has sold 65 million copies as a solo artist; 120 million as a member of Fleetwood Mac — Joel has sold over 160 million copies worldwide.)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">These are weighty, substantial, and meaningful statistics, yet they recede somewhat in the light and locomotion of a stadium-sized concert. Still, there is that unquantifiable feeling, lurking in the edges of the spotlight, the sensation of witnessing an endurance of impressive magnitude, but also, of looming mortality, a sense of days dwindling.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Each of these artists has made a profound impact upon those who piled into AT&T Stadium Saturday, and for a moment, sharing the space together drove home the value of what they do and the songs they sing. New or old, familiar or obscure, what matters most is the act itself: By standing tall in the light, everyone on the stage or in front of it helps delay the inevitable just a little longer, preserving the thrill and the joy of being alive in the moment, lost in the comfort of a melody.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>DREAMS</b></span></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="323" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0hBrqi3vYfM" width="534" youtube-src-id="0hBrqi3vYfM"></iframe></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>LEATHER AND LACE</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/obp6Sj9tnMs" width="515" youtube-src-id="obp6Sj9tnMs"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">GYPSY</span></b></div></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="326" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/V48rSjMJaAc" width="549" youtube-src-id="V48rSjMJaAc"></iframe></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><div><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-57616483425568297662024-03-12T22:09:00.001-05:002024-03-12T22:27:27.296-05:00Stevie Nicks was magical and witchy as she conjured up a solid playlist of her hits<div style="text-align: left;"><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Review: Stevie Nicks weaved her magic in a classic rock doubleheader with Billy Joel - Arlington, TX March 9, 2024</b></span></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmCkqM3nuiMLAJYYFKCkjzPvpYwwcH014PZwhdi6ziKo8zKYpXVzQtQmgPPdoDHJPIXommYvuMV2n5rbNwSB51bIBxBK2UipcvyT9RV8O7wkitsdyGR8HEsvLFhOniA9TdplTdXPKu8q2-o480YKJkJf0fNi2cjABpMXTfkr-VBMXe6Yx9dx0dkvbzYDo/s1253/Stevie%20Nicks%20Live%20in%20Arlington%20Tx%20March%209.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="649" data-original-width="1253" height="332" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmCkqM3nuiMLAJYYFKCkjzPvpYwwcH014PZwhdi6ziKo8zKYpXVzQtQmgPPdoDHJPIXommYvuMV2n5rbNwSB51bIBxBK2UipcvyT9RV8O7wkitsdyGR8HEsvLFhOniA9TdplTdXPKu8q2-o480YKJkJf0fNi2cjABpMXTfkr-VBMXe6Yx9dx0dkvbzYDo/w640-h332/Stevie%20Nicks%20Live%20in%20Arlington%20Tx%20March%209.PNG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://dallasvoice.com/qmn-review-stevie-nicks-weaved-her-magic-in-a-classic-rock-doubleheader-with-billy-joel/" target="_blank">Dallas Voice</a></div><div>by: Rich Lopez</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After about a year from their original North Texas date, classic rock titans Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks finally made their way to Arlington’s AT&T Stadium Friday night. Die hard fans of all ages filled the stadium for a big night of hits and the legends didn’t disappoint – mostly. Thankfully, Nicks kicked off the night.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Opening with “Outside the Rain,” Nicks’ start was a tepid one with a deep cut opener, but a quick follow up with Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” pulled the audience fully into her set. Her voice was in pure gravelly form as she swayed with her flowy garments and Raphaelite curls to hit after hit. She took a moment to explain that of all the people involved in the tour, she was the one who got COVID last year hence the reschedule.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The wait was worth it. She was in strong form with signature songs such as “If Anyone Falls,” “Stand Back” and “Edge of Seventeen.” The big surprise, even to her as she told the audience, was Billy Joel coming out to duet on Tom Petty’s part on “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around.” Seeing these two perform together with no real history (that I can think of) behind them was a remarkable and glorious moment. The audience lost their shit and the back and forth between the two icons was astonishing to watch happen in front of our eyes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nicks had some banter with the audience and expressed deep appreciation for people coming out to see her and to still be on the road. Despite being a star, she had no air of that onstage.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She still was magical and witchy as she conjured up a solid playlist of her hits and an encore of Petty’s “Free Fallin’” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Rhiannon.” Then she broke hearts, closing with her tribute to the late Christine McVie, her bandmate in Fleetwood, with “Landslide.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Billy Joel kicked off the second half with “My Life,” a somewhat perfect opener for the piano man. Also a strong performance, Joel displayed an affable presence, He spent a lot of time talking to the audience and remarking on the size of the stadium and a lot of grandpa banter. He was a funny guy but at the same time, “please get on with the show.” When he did, he brought out some of the deeper cuts like “Zanzibar” and “Sometimes a Fantasy” that his die-hard fans ate up like candy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Bigger hits like “An Innocent Man,” which he killed with his high notes still, and “Allentown” fared better but he held off on his more familiar songs like “Uptown Girl,” “We Didn’t Start the Fire” and “You May Be Right” until his encore. Those I did not see because his main set was just a bit underwhelming and thus, opted to beat the crowd with an early departure.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">STAND BACK</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="370" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4m68tOgPXHA" width="556" youtube-src-id="4m68tOgPXHA"></iframe></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">STOP DRAGGING MY HEART AROUND</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="317" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7-8gp0XVpJg" width="556" youtube-src-id="7-8gp0XVpJg"></iframe></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-36248900065755668382024-03-10T11:58:00.000-05:002024-03-10T11:58:01.020-05:00Review Stevie Nicks & Billy Joel Arlington, TX March 9 , 2024<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks’ show in Arlington a ‘Rage against the Dying of the Light’ </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">BY MAC ENGEL</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/mac-engel/article286480615.html" target="_blank">Star Telegram</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZVMOcLJTLVb76kLa3oMUQbY70JqT2zZFAuiOTp4bVUf0i-ZpH3sFoCiIV1TTwCfLNDUtN67p0Pv90ftSbcgXlDFrfFGheTEhCxJkc9MXL5zpinyLD9WVwHlWPxRl8v8onGUKmAxPwMpHshM_wIYL5B0b2ZbqXSG4qpKuEWG6KKx0CUcaByTrv6qDU-Eo/s1899/Stevie%20Nicks%20Arlington%20Texas%20March%209%202024.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="956" data-original-width="1899" height="322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZVMOcLJTLVb76kLa3oMUQbY70JqT2zZFAuiOTp4bVUf0i-ZpH3sFoCiIV1TTwCfLNDUtN67p0Pv90ftSbcgXlDFrfFGheTEhCxJkc9MXL5zpinyLD9WVwHlWPxRl8v8onGUKmAxPwMpHshM_wIYL5B0b2ZbqXSG4qpKuEWG6KKx0CUcaByTrv6qDU-Eo/w640-h322/Stevie%20Nicks%20Arlington%20Texas%20March%209%202024.PNG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>When one of the two headliners is 74 and he isn’t the oldest one on the stage you have a show more appropriate to end by 5 p.m. rather than 11. </div><div><br /></div><div>Stevie Nicks is 75 years old, but she forever remains Fleetwood Mac’s middle finger, while Billy Joel, 74, is simply happy to play songs he could perform in a coma, and his audience has heard 3.4 trillion times. </div><div><br /></div><div>On Saturday night at AT&T Stadium, the two music icons whose respective careers have combined to span about 100 total years did whatever they wanted, which is exactly what the predominantly over 50 crowd came to hear. </div><div><br /></div><div>They performed some covers. A duet. Some ZZ Top. A little opera. Some Tom Petty. Led Zeppelin. </div><div><br /></div><div>The every single one of the approximately 55,000 in the place is at that stage where they really don’t care what someone else thinks, which ultimately makes for the ideal night out. You want ice cream for dinner, kids? Here’s five bowls. </div><div><br /></div><div>That’s what a Steve Nicks/Billy Joel concert is; bowls of chocolate chip cream you’ve had since you can remember. </div><div><br /></div><div>This show was originally scheduled to play last spring, but it was canceled after Nicks was diagnosed with COVID. </div><div><br /></div><div>She played 13 songs, and she still sounds like Stevie Nicks. For the most part. It helps her voice has always sounded like it’s crusted with cigarette smoke, so she was never apt to embarrass herself by going for a few high notes that were never her thing. </div><div><br /></div><div>Part of Steve Nicks’ appeal is a voice that she doesn’t need to trademark. Even with autotone, no one else can sound like Stevie Nicks. </div><div><br /></div><div>She ripped through her hits, and had no problem going to her Fleetwood Mac roots. She can still do “Gypsy,” “Stand Back,” “Seventeen,” “Gold Dust Woman” and the rest. Her cover of Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth” was an unexpected twist, but she pulled it off. </div><div><br /></div><div>There was an undeniable bittersweet undercurrent to her set. So many of the people she performed with are gone. People like Tom Petty and Christine McVie. </div><div><br /></div><div>Nicks performed a cover of Petty’s “Free Fallin,” and Joel joined her on stage for “Stop Dragging My Heart.” That song became a hit with Petty and Nicks. </div><div><br /></div><div>After performing her final song, “Landslide,” she spoke lovingly of McVie. </div><div><br /></div><div>Joel didn’t take too much time before taking the stage wearing a Cowboys hat. Not a Cowboy hat. A Dallas Cowboys baseball cap. </div><div><br /></div><div>“Hat or no hat?” he asked the crowd before taking it off revealing his bald head. “I am Lex Luthor.” </div><div><br /></div><div>“Luthor’s” set lasted 2 1/2 hours that was a mashup of classic songs that became American staples. Since he’s only recorded one new song in the last 20 years, he all but acknowledged to the crowd that he was going to play what they wanted to hear. </div><div><br /></div><div>He even went off script to play some of the Rolling Stones’ “Start Me Up,” complete with Joel standing on stage mimicking Mick Jagger’s hip moves. A noble effort, but Billy Joel will never be Mick. Billy Joel will always be a more diverse, energetic version of Paul Simon. </div><div><br /></div><div>Name it, and Joel with his eight-member band played as if it was their final performance ever. “Don’t ask me why,” “Allentown,” “New York State of Mind,” “The Entertainer,” “It’s Just a Fantasy,” “All for Leyna,” and on and on. </div><div><br /></div><div>This was as much of a throw back rock concert as you could have in 2024, right down to the distinct whiffs of marijuana smoke circulating on the floor. </div><div><br /></div><div>Just when the audience was settled into Joel’s greatest hits, he had guitarist Mike DelGuidice perform a cover of ZZ Top’s “Tush” in the middle of “River of Dreams.” DelGuidice also performed “Nessun dorma,” an aria that today’s audiences associate with opera singer Luciano Pavarotti. (Since Pavarotti died in 2007, he couldn’t make it to Arlington). </div><div><br /></div><div>Even if Joel is 74, listening to him perform “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant” and “Piano Man” still move any audience. They are brilliantly written poems, or short stories. </div><div><br /></div><div>Joel has never had the best voice, but his ability to craft lyrics for a song is what allowed him to remain relevant in a brutal industry for several decades. He closed his 21-song set with a few encores, and ended the night with “You May be Right.” </div><div><br /></div><div>By that time, everyone had given him a smile ‘cause he knew that it’s him they paid to see, to forget about life for a while.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="355" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0unlonti944" width="553" youtube-src-id="0unlonti944"></iframe></div><br /><div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-2293700567868261972024-03-07T20:53:00.000-06:002024-03-07T20:53:18.370-06:00Stevie Nicks Live in Little Rock March 6 'Part spoken memoir, part rock concert'<div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaiSqxPIGPZqoHyU7MqRPzyypYcaeGQ0kbVVirdyqewWDw_ArUDYNvAVN2vewHTAx0BoN0xD2O9e2pr6QhlQIEfF77d9T-Q5H6dpbv53ggDBcU8o7O8NZuxCZG8FrUhFwYqqWSXTBy8S9PqsXvDbd3iVHBJgIkJFgazeNlLT9HBVukqb0riO7152vaZ6M/s1488/Stevie%20Nicks%20Little%20Rock%20March%206%202024%20b.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="955" data-original-width="1488" height="410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaiSqxPIGPZqoHyU7MqRPzyypYcaeGQ0kbVVirdyqewWDw_ArUDYNvAVN2vewHTAx0BoN0xD2O9e2pr6QhlQIEfF77d9T-Q5H6dpbv53ggDBcU8o7O8NZuxCZG8FrUhFwYqqWSXTBy8S9PqsXvDbd3iVHBJgIkJFgazeNlLT9HBVukqb0riO7152vaZ6M/w640-h410/Stevie%20Nicks%20Little%20Rock%20March%206%202024%20b.PNG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Stevie </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Nicks delivers powerful show to sold-out Simmons Bank Arena</span></div><div>by Sheila Yount</div><div><a href="https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2024/mar/07/stevie-nicks-delivers-powerful-show-to-sold-out-simmons-bank-arena/">Arkansasonline.com</a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For two hours Wednesday night, Stevie Nicks took the audience at Simmons Bank Arena in North Little Rock on a journey through the past with stories and songs from her five-decade career. It was part spoken memoir, part rock concert, but most of all it was, in her words, a party. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> “Let’s get this Little Rock party started,” the 75-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer told the 14,000 concert goers who sold out the arena. “Keep rockin’ Little Rock.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Dressed all in black with a long, flowing skirt, accented with capes draped around her shoulders, which she changed throughout the show, she brought her signature witchy vibe to the stage. Backed by a six-member band led by her longtime lead guitarist, Waddy Wachtel, 76, she floated across the stage, twirling theatrically, as she sang a multitude of a hits from her days with Fleetwood Mac and, later, as a solo artist. There was a sharing of energy in the building as the crowd, which she called “awesome,” clearly fueled her performance while she, in turn, inspired the enthusiastic concert-goers, which included teenagers, millennials, members of Gen X and, of course, Nicks’ fellow baby boomers. “This is the joy of my life,” Nicks said at one point during the show. “I hope it will be the joy of your life.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She opened the show with “Outside the Rain” from her debut solo album Bella Donna, released in 1981, followed by “Dreams,” a No. 1 hit for Fleetwood Mac from the acclaimed 1977 Rumours album. She followed that with “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around,” a song written by Tom Petty, who sang on what became a hit single from the Bella Donna album. Wachtel joined Nicks to sing Petty’s part of the duet as a psychedelic-styled video featuring images of Petty and other rock legends including Billy Joel, members of Fleetwood Mac, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin played on a large screen behind the stage. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After that, she performed “Fall from Grace” from Trouble in Shangri-La, released in 2001, followed by “For What it’s Worth,” a song written by Stephen Stills in 1966 for his band Buffalo Springfield. In one of several stories she shared during the evening, she described hearing this song for the first time as an 18-year-old high school student and learning only recently how it was based on a confrontation between police and a group of young people gathered on Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. She recorded the song in 2011 and, in 2022, she released it as a digital download and streaming single. </div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh65Esf6Jfwv4g11JVukavWP2yH3ezioGhd8MBK9sO6gNqD9YvIYYwnStU2jfouMrgJRGA3_alV3yBE2Sk6YkcWgKXcN00mvWrMmPU8dOIfUwwU4FR3Nixi5J7Q_vpyTvFjmgVLPEtd0MKRb6QFsb6B5IFwVQEaqtSM9rw7AtbF5lX8ajcoDp046_Zk-dQ/s1568/Stevie%20Nicks%20Little%20Rock%20March%206%202024.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="932" data-original-width="1568" height="381" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh65Esf6Jfwv4g11JVukavWP2yH3ezioGhd8MBK9sO6gNqD9YvIYYwnStU2jfouMrgJRGA3_alV3yBE2Sk6YkcWgKXcN00mvWrMmPU8dOIfUwwU4FR3Nixi5J7Q_vpyTvFjmgVLPEtd0MKRb6QFsb6B5IFwVQEaqtSM9rw7AtbF5lX8ajcoDp046_Zk-dQ/w640-h381/Stevie%20Nicks%20Little%20Rock%20March%206%202024.PNG" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the longest song introduction of the night, she shared how she and her former partner and bandmate, Lindsey Buckingham, lived as paupers in the early 1970s as they tried to establish their musical careers. Within a period of five months after joining Fleetwood Mac, they became rich rock stars. As her life became more of a whirlwind with their increasing fame and wealth, she longed for a simpler time, she said, and the result was “Gypsy,” a hit from Fleetwood Mac’s 1982 album Mirage. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The show continued with performances of “Wild Heart” and “Bella Donna” before she and the band rocked it out with “Stand Back” from the 1983 album The Wild Heart. Next was “Soldier’s Angel,” a song she wrote for wounded servicemen from the Iraq war after visiting with them at military hospitals in the Washington, D.C., area. She dedicated the song to the people of Ukraine in their war against Russia, saying that, if she was a man and wasn’t 75 years old, she would be there helping in the fight.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A true highlight of the show was Nicks’ performance of “Gold Dust Woman” from the Rumours album, a song she said she always performs at her shows. Draped in a gold sequined cape, she twirled around the stage, her voice echoing powerfully through the arena, backed by the perfect harmonies of two back-up singers. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She finished the main part of the show with “Leather and Lace,” a duet she performed with Don Henley on the Bella Donna album, and “The Edge of Seventeen,” also from Bella Donna. In what she called a “surprise,” her vocal coach, Steve Real, joined her for “Leather and Lace” in a crowd-pleasing performance with vocals reminiscent of Henley. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZya_rTkOXi68GFGKU83vIC9inbRKpW_nq4lgCFdVyU0-WPdBgwkaffVLJw5rtfrcTc6b9GZRC1tZM1F2ThhaDw9KIhj3SZKR0BreyvuJDfWow6qf3f6O3Fdufb3WUTOzYH8VhSRXFzKxt3Z4x_0uHLBbLp-igpE8iRx9SUvHEZniMAtDCjxtft603mZI/s1602/Stevie%20Nicks%20Little%20Rock%20March%206%202024%20a.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="957" data-original-width="1602" height="382" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZya_rTkOXi68GFGKU83vIC9inbRKpW_nq4lgCFdVyU0-WPdBgwkaffVLJw5rtfrcTc6b9GZRC1tZM1F2ThhaDw9KIhj3SZKR0BreyvuJDfWow6qf3f6O3Fdufb3WUTOzYH8VhSRXFzKxt3Z4x_0uHLBbLp-igpE8iRx9SUvHEZniMAtDCjxtft603mZI/w640-h382/Stevie%20Nicks%20Little%20Rock%20March%206%202024%20a.PNG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For the encore, Nicks and the band returned to the stage with a tribute cover of “Free Falling,” written by Petty, who died in 2017 at the age of 66. Next came one her first hits with Fleetwood Mac, the 1975 “Rhiannon,” followed by the ballad “Landslide,” also from her first album with Fleetwood Mac. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A video of images of Nicks with her late best friend and Fleetwood Mac bandmate, Christine McVie (she died in 2022 at the age of 79), played on the screen while Nicks sang the haunting song of lost youth to the accompaniment of Wachtel's acoustic guitar. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Afterward, she closed out the show with another story, this time about the intense grief she felt following McVie’s death, which eventually led her to tour again. “My mother always said, ‘Anytime you are hurt, Stevie, you run to the stage,’” she said, adding that she was grateful to her audiences for helping “fix her” by coming to her shows. “I love you so much for that and appreciate it, every single night,” she said. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For those in attendance Wednesday night, there was no doubt the feeling was mutual.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>LEATHER AND LACE</b></span></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="334" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xlJzTCFXRO4" width="528" youtube-src-id="xlJzTCFXRO4"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>FREE FALLING</b></span></div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="339" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9lvd0AEtB9E" width="530" youtube-src-id="9lvd0AEtB9E"></iframe></div><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-16982462877214459622024-03-07T20:24:00.000-06:002024-03-07T20:24:14.488-06:00Stevie Nicks Live in New Orleans Feb 28 'A collection of songs and stories'<div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg12ranmm8nESftfnrv_bGGFHN5irlBsThDmE3qf63s-vecgUzJEnAuB-5apbQHu7T-gSVTZA9YNQdkisKM4NI4Ndt4CwFvOkZis_HClTYNBeAL7uonVXFrLmBcOw2d2SNLgWUZWj6Ux0i9dL_4NFwvl1Sn3_PfS1xDJOOMWukgbhAd7XMqLSVqbk72BPQ/s1464/Stevie%20Nicks%20New%20Orleans.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; font-size: x-large; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="958" data-original-width="1464" height="418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg12ranmm8nESftfnrv_bGGFHN5irlBsThDmE3qf63s-vecgUzJEnAuB-5apbQHu7T-gSVTZA9YNQdkisKM4NI4Ndt4CwFvOkZis_HClTYNBeAL7uonVXFrLmBcOw2d2SNLgWUZWj6Ux0i9dL_4NFwvl1Sn3_PfS1xDJOOMWukgbhAd7XMqLSVqbk72BPQ/w640-h418/Stevie%20Nicks%20New%20Orleans.PNG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><b style="font-size: x-large;">Still Stevie: Stevie Nicks infuses youth, memory into New Orleans</b></div><div>by Sophia Finkbeiner</div><div><a href="https://tulanehullabaloo.com/65545/arcade/still-stevie-stevie-nicks-infuses-youth-memory-into-new-orleans/">tulanehullabaloo.com</a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On Wednesday, Feb. 28 at the Smoothie King Center, Stevie Nicks proved that 75 years of age has nothing on her. Dressed from head-to-toe in black, Nicks serenely floated onto the stage in a witchy, flowy skirt and blouse and announced: “Let’s get this funky, fabulous party started.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Though she admitted several times during the show that “we’re old,” referring to her and her bandmates, her age never showed. She presented no sign of fatigue, allowing the music to overcome and move her throughout the show, at times air drumming, head banging and twirling. Her voice defied time; her songs sounded just as ethereal and rich as when they were first released.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The concert could better be described as a collection of songs and stories. Between each song, Nicks spent several minutes telling stories from the impromptu creation of the song “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” with Tom Petty to learning what taxes were when she finally started making enough money to have to pay them. One of her fondest memories is the way she would ground herself when her fame began to reach the level of international superstar: by dragging her mattress to the ground, draping it with pillows and antique throws, sitting in the middle and reminding herself “I am still Stevie.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The nearly two-hour show spanned only 18 songs because of her storytelling, which seemed to take up just as much time as actual performance. Though her lengthy stories between each song did not allow for much momentum to build up, they provided something even more valuable: a glimpse of her personality, her reflection on her life and career and an insight into her worldviews. Nicks even spoke about her concern for the war in Ukraine, strongly encouraging American support towards the effort. She dedicated her performance of “Soldier’s Angel” to the soldiers and citizens of Ukraine, ending the tribute with a Ukrainian flag beaming fiercely on the screens surrounding her. She also revived a less well-known song, “New Orleans,” for the audience of “one of her favorite cities.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nicks sang her songs from her career as a solo artist and a member of Fleetwood Mac, as well as covers of Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’” and Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth,” a song that is known as a symbol of the political turmoil of the 1960s.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nicks told the story of how even during her time in Fleetwood Mac, she envisioned her own band with two female singers besides herself. “And here they are,” Nicks announced, gesturing to the female singers to her left. Though she did not mention them by name, they are Sharon Celani, Nicks’ longtime friend, and Lori Nicks, her sister-in-law.

From her electric piano work to her magnetic vocals to her profound lyrics, Carlton captivated the crowd during her 30-minute-long set.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Pennsylvania-born singer-songwriter walked onto the stage and the first words out of her mouth were, “I’m here, pinch me” before going into her first song, “Carousel.” She prefaced each song with commentary that gave a glimpse into how each one came to fruition. It’s worth getting to the venue early for the warnings of red flags, the backstory of her nickname ‘Miss Vanilla’, and how MTV censored her in 2004 (and hearing some deep cuts because who doesn’t like to be put onto new music.)</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Stevie Nicks</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She and her band opened with “Outside the Rain,” from Nicks’s album Bella Donna before taking the crowd into one of Fleetwood Mac’s most iconic tracks, “Dreams.” </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRet2nmZjOtL8XEVeRDT4LiFXFL_DFSLj6xrObevvTmcejPXAvykApLUlhVCU29f3So3dJ9qAIVG8D4btlCCimwtkT2c6n7CBRnUKK_5lrmkjFpajCopCOBCCzuGr7oO3W1DmZxrh-dQ1IHJo-TB_b1tj7OXVB6jUcoUjWOb6C8zv1mUI6nUijwheTZYM/s1463/stevie%20nicks%20new%20orleans%20feb%2028%202024%20%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1463" data-original-width="1170" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRet2nmZjOtL8XEVeRDT4LiFXFL_DFSLj6xrObevvTmcejPXAvykApLUlhVCU29f3So3dJ9qAIVG8D4btlCCimwtkT2c6n7CBRnUKK_5lrmkjFpajCopCOBCCzuGr7oO3W1DmZxrh-dQ1IHJo-TB_b1tj7OXVB6jUcoUjWOb6C8zv1mUI6nUijwheTZYM/s320/stevie%20nicks%20new%20orleans%20feb%2028%202024%20%20(1).jpg" width="256" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ6dsHODF53pIp8cilWHw9MjEtBQbxhxmzAszz5bKCPoBzgv5eLoOwzNbTsk9ygFlnKdvGoOfPzs67t9jGXvE94yX2IqPfxz1kqSCdr-maJDCk_DA2xrJwKEObqyA1H-NfPEBZiMTka6Gi2Ut_FatV0W8Uc90hvt0T7EglkdWFu2eTeLK3Wv2uPueDM7I/s1463/stevie%20nicks%20new%20orleans%20feb%2028%202024%20%20(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1463" data-original-width="1170" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ6dsHODF53pIp8cilWHw9MjEtBQbxhxmzAszz5bKCPoBzgv5eLoOwzNbTsk9ygFlnKdvGoOfPzs67t9jGXvE94yX2IqPfxz1kqSCdr-maJDCk_DA2xrJwKEObqyA1H-NfPEBZiMTka6Gi2Ut_FatV0W8Uc90hvt0T7EglkdWFu2eTeLK3Wv2uPueDM7I/s320/stevie%20nicks%20new%20orleans%20feb%2028%202024%20%20(2).jpg" width="256" /></a></div></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">“I started [the tour] in New Orleans…almost two years ago. That was our first show of this entire tour. I thought it was gonna be like maybe a year, it’s still going,” Stevie Nicks afterword. Nicks performed at the 2022 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. She was scheduled to return to the Big Easy in April 2023 but the show was postponed and then later canceled due to a COVID-19 infection among her touring group. Ten months later, Nicks made it back and it was worth the wait! The two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and one of Rolling Stones’ 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time, Stevie Nicks, graced the city on Wednesday night with an unforgettable show. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Dressed in all black, the 75-year-old singer-songwriter was joined on stage by a six-piece band and two singers. For over two hours, she performed a mix of her solo hits and songs from her time with Fleetwood Mac from “Rhiannon” to “Edge of Seventeen” to “Soldier’s Girl.” She even included a few covers including Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth” and Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’.” </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We took a trip down memory lane as Nicks shared stories about her life – from how she and Tom Petty’s collaboration, “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” came to be to writing Fleetwood Mac’s hit “Gypsy” during a time in the 70s when she needed to find herself and stay grounded. The nostalgic storytelling gave fans a glimpse into how the musical legend created some of their favorite songs.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Throughout the night, she also had some quick outfit changes where she would throw on colorful shawls that were tied to the songs she was performing. For example, she wore the original royal blue ‘Bella Donna’ cape and a shimmering black and gold one that was tied to her song, “Stand Back.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">One of the highlights (and you had to be there moments) was when Nicks performed “New Orleans” in New Orleans. Another was Nicks not being afraid to use her platform to encourage attendees to call leaders in Washington and ask for money to be sent to Ukraine to help stop Putin’s mission. And the most heartfelt moment of them all was her dedication to the late Christine McVie during her performance of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide.” Nicks was very open about her grieving process and how running to the stage has helped her through one of the greatest losses she’ll ever experience. It’s true what they say, music can heal and her fans have helped heal her soul. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If Stevie Nicks is ever in a city near you, don’t hesitate. Buy the ticket.

Nor should she. She is clearly comfortable in her own skin, comfortable being in charge, and comfortable with where she stands in life.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And as she demonstrated Wednesday, she is still committed to quality, to employing real humans to make real music in real time with real instruments, topped by a voice that still sounds real good.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Following the COVID lockdown, Nicks returned to the stage at the 2022 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. She considered Wednesday’s gig part of the same tour, albeit a tour with an intermittent itinerary.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A set that spanned two hours and 15 minutes managed only 18 songs. Nicks prefaced most with a story as long as the song itself. That verbosity didn’t allow momentum to build across multiple songs strung together.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But it did give fans insight into her thought processes, personality and world view, plus behind-the-scenes glimpses of her life and career.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She recounted long and frequent visits with injured soldiers at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland. Sympathetic to the plight of soldiers, she strongly supports American aid for Ukrainian troops. Her song “Soldier’s Angel” concluded with a blue and yellow Ukrainian flag blazing on the LED screen above and behind her.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She recounted thinking she’d finished recording her 1981 “Bella Donna” album, only to be told by producer Jimmy Iovine that it lacked a proper single.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Not to worry, Iovine said: Tom Petty, whom Nicks idolized but had never met, had written a song that would be perfect for her. An overdressed Nicks showed up at Petty’s studio and “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” was born.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Forty-three years later, she and her band cranked up a crackling version at the Smoothie King Center, with Nicks emphasizing the final “stop!”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She once thought “Fall From Grace” was “too mean-spirited” to perform. But her perspective shifted: “It’s not mean-spirited. It’s energy.” Sure enough, it was the most energetic and driving song up to that point in the show.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She thanked Stephen Stills for writing Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth” in the 1960s “so I could sing it 3,000 years later.” It’s a fine song, but that time may have been better spent with a Fleetwood Mac cut.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the early 1970s, she and then-paramour Lindsey Buckingham were dirt poor when Fleetwood Mac first hired them. Their $250 weekly checks seemed like a fortune, she said. When those checks increased to $1,000, Nicks considered herself truly rich. After her mother introduced her to the concept of taxes, she and Buckingham hired an accounting firm to handle their money.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Having money and success “is a big deal, but it’s not everything.” She then dedicated “Gypsy” to the “waitresses and waiters and cleaning ladies” who work as hard as she once did.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Even at the height of Fleetwood Mac’s success, Nicks envisioned a solo career with her own band. It would feature two “girl singers” standing up front with her, not in the background. And there they were on Wednesday.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As talkative as she was, Nicks never got around to introducing the bandmembers. That brawny band was led by guitarist Waddy Wachtel. A first-call session guitarist from the 1970s to the present, Wachtel has contributed to at least a couple hundred albums, plus countless live shows.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">His extended guitar excursion settled into the chugging riff of “Edge of Seventeen.” Guitars also drove a strong “Stand Back.” As the drummer hammered a big finish on “Gold Dust Woman,” Nicks air-drummed, shook her curls and rocked out.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Just as she did at Jazz Fest, she revived “New Orleans,” a love letter to the city she penned after Hurricane Katrina. “If Anyone Falls” had a satisfying punch to it. She held out and massaged the final “know” in “Dreams.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since the 1990s, Nicks has relied on vocal coach Steve Real to keep her hearty contralto in tip-top shape. On this tour, he also joins her onstage to sing Don Henley’s part in “Leather and Lace.” Nicks and Real did the duet justice.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Underscoring just how close her connection was to Petty, a recording of his “Runnin’ Down a Dream” blasted from the P.A. to signal the start of the show. Nicks and the band opened the encore with Petty’s “Free Fallin” as a scrapbook of Petty pictures, including one from Jazz Fest, filled the screen.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A faithful take on the Fleetwood Mac classic “Rhiannon” followed by “Landslide” closed out the night. At the 2022 Jazz Fest, Nicks dedicated “Landslide” to her pal Taylor Hawkins, the Foo Fighters drummer who had recently died.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This time around, she sang “Landslide” for Christine McVie, her longtime Fleetwood Mac bandmate and confidante. As photos of the late McVie faded in and out on the screen, Nicks, accompanied by Wachtel’s light touch on an acoustic guitar, navigated the lyrics’ unflinching acknowledgment of the passing of time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She is well aware that she is no longer the wild young chanteuse she was in the 1970s. And well aware that she doesn’t need to be.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-54636611083398473422024-02-29T20:36:00.003-06:002024-02-29T20:36:51.641-06:00Stevie Nicks is heading to London...

There’s no perfect way to encapsulate the essence of Stevie Nicks’ witchy vibe, which has garnered adoration for her beloved style. Nicks embarked on her musical journey with her first band, Buckingham Nicks, alongside her partner at the time, Lindsay Buckingham. When Fleetwood Mac found themselves in need of a lead guitarist and singer after the departure of their members, Buckingham and Nicks were invited to join, thus forming the iconic band we cherish today.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">With nearly five decades of touring under her belt, Nicks has maintained an unwavering presence on stage.

This devotion was evident as fans of all ages gathered at UBS Arena to witness her captivating 17-song set, crafting lasting memories, particularly on this Valentine’s Day show.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The set started at 8:25 with an original song of hers “Outside the Rain.” Deviating from her usual setlist, Nicks surprised the audience with an early rendition of the Fleetwood Mac classic, “Dreams.” Accompanied by her long-standing band, comprised of two pianists, a drummer, two guitarists, and three backup singers, Nicks’ stage presence was amplified, enveloping the venue with her magnetic aura. After the song, which thousands of fans sang to, Nicks’ said “We are here, we are all you.” As she gracefully took her bow under a single spotlight, the crowd erupted in applause, setting the tone for the evening. The momentum carried on with her performance of “If Anyone Falls.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Lesser known is the fact, Nicks who was lacking a single on her album Bella Donna was gifted (her next song) “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” by Tom Petty. Nicks expressed her admiration for Petty, reminiscing about their first encounter. Illustrating that she was “Dressed to the nines and Tom was a swampy kind of guy.” The backdrop visuals paid homage to contemporaries, such as Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, and Tom Petty, in a mesmerizing display of colors and patterns, setting the scene for her subsequent performances, including “Fall From Grace.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Taking a moment to engage with the audience, Nicks shared the backstory of her cover of “For What It’s Worth” by Buffalo Springfield. To those who are unaware, the song though thought of as a protest song was about the “Bands” back in the day on “Sunset” referring to Los Angeles, being told they had to leave a bar and go home. When the musicians refused, the police were brought in. Though the song may not be the protest song everyone thinks it is, Nicks used this as a platform saying “The one thing in this country, we all have, is to vote.” </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Continuing her set with hits “Gypsy,” “Wild Heart,” “Bella Donna,” and “Stand Back,” Nicks addressed political themes, particularly before her performance of “Soldier’s Angel,” amidst the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine. Nicks proclaimed “If I was not 75 and a girl, I would go over there and sign up.” The crowd had mixed reactions to this with one fan shouting out “Fuck Biden.” Following this she played “Gold Dust Woman.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Expressing her gratitude, Nicks welcomed her vocal coach, Steve Real, to the stage for their duet of “Leather and Lace.” Nicks drew attention to the fact that she was the one who referred Harry Styles to Real stating “If you work with him you will never have a bad night.” Wrapping up the set with a crowd favorite, “Edge of Seventeen,” Nicks and her band briefly exited the stage before returning for an encore, treating fans to renditions of “Free Fallin’,” “Rhiannon,” and “Landslide,” famously covered by the Dixie Chicks. </div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div>Setlist:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Outside the Rain</li><li>Dreams (Fleetwood Mac song)</li><li>If Anyone Falls</li><li>Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around</li><li>Fall From Grace</li><li>For What It’s Worth (Buffalo Springfield cover)</li><li>Gypsy (Fleetwood Mac song)</li><li>Wild Heart</li><li>Bella Donna</li><li>Stand Back</li><li>Soldier’s Angel</li><li>Gold Dust Woman (Fleetwood Mac song)</li><li>Leather and Lace (with vocal coach Steve Real)</li><li> Edge of Seventeen</li></ul></div><div>Encore</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Free Fallin’ (Tom Petty cover)</li><li>Rhiannon (Fleetwood Mac song)</li><li>Landslide (Fleetwood Mac song)</li></ul></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-69397261124854592922024-02-15T19:19:00.003-06:002024-02-25T15:59:07.143-06:00Stevie Nicks Live in Elmont, NY Feb 14 2024 - Review<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh63iiJidGW59_zAqCfZvZhTBVqBHdRtRzFj3Pxp5vdtrGSk1ehyphenhyphenrsFYbBpjci57mfJUR5We6cE1_l4kt0VVh9MISPzWdXprQPC06VdUGB2bl02hGlAiQ2DCskTBWs0ncLw-MnAOdiMdA_rZV-YD1gXDqocMHUDdjWXC0MYYMxfMHbPq-ueMVg34_vf8SE/s4000/IMG_0929.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2668" data-original-width="4000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh63iiJidGW59_zAqCfZvZhTBVqBHdRtRzFj3Pxp5vdtrGSk1ehyphenhyphenrsFYbBpjci57mfJUR5We6cE1_l4kt0VVh9MISPzWdXprQPC06VdUGB2bl02hGlAiQ2DCskTBWs0ncLw-MnAOdiMdA_rZV-YD1gXDqocMHUDdjWXC0MYYMxfMHbPq-ueMVg34_vf8SE/w640-h426/IMG_0929.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div></span><b style="font-size: x-large;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></b></div>Review: Stevie Nicks performs at the UBS Arena in all of her eras</b></div><div><br /></div><div><div>By: Markos Papadatos</div><div><a href="https://www.digitaljournal.com/entertainment/review-stevie-nicks-performs-at-the-ubs-arena-in-all-of-her-eras/article" target="_blank">Digital Journal</a></div></div><div>Photo: Jeff Auger</div><div><br /></div><div>On February 14, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Stevie Nicks headlined the UBS Arena in Elmont on Long Island, which coincided with Valentine’s Day.</div><div><br /></div><div>Nicks kicked off her set with “Outside the Rain,” where she was able to instantly lure her audience in from the opening verse.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>‘Dreams’</b></span></div><div>It was followed by an expressive version of the Fleetwood Mac classic “Dreams” and the atmospheric “If Anyone Falls,” where she took her fans on a trip down memory lane to her sophomore solo album “The Wild Heart.”</div><div><br /></div><div>“Welcome, New York,” Nicks exclaimed. “We almost didn’t get here on time. The traffic was so bad. We didn’t think we were going to make it.”</div><div><br /></div><div>“We were a little bit late and we are really sorry, but anyway, we are here now, and we are all yours… for two hours, and then, we have to go. So, let’s get this New York party started,” she explained.</div><div><br /></div><div>“Thank you,” she said following the warm reception of “If Anyone Falls. “This next song was a gift from Tom Petty when I was finishing up the Bella Donna in 1981.”</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>‘Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around’</b></span></div><div>Nicks went on to share the story of how “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” became the single at the time, when she was working with producer Jimmy Iovine, and the sweet success story of working with Tom Petty, and how the duet single played a vital role in the success of the “Bella Donna” album.</div><div><br /></div><div>“This song kicked off ‘Bella Donna’ right straight up to No. 3 on Billboard, and then, straight to No. 1, and all I can say is ‘thank you Tom’,” she revealed.</div><div><br /></div><div>Her guitar player, Waddy Wachtel, took on the part of Tom Perry for an impressive duet of “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around,” and they segued into the up-tempo and unapologetic “Fall From Grace,” which is a track featured in her “Trouble in Shangri-La” solo album.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>‘Fall From Grace’</b></span></div><div>She noted that “Fall From Grace” came from a poem that was made into a song. “It is about an argument and I really loved it, and I loved singing it. Then, I pulled away from singing it because it was about an argument,” she explained.</div><div><br /></div><div>“There wasn’t a lot of love going on in this song, but it’s okay,” she added about “Fall From Grace.”</div><div><br /></div><div>Following her performance of “Fall From Grace,” she acknowledged that it is “exhausting to be angry.”</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>‘For What It’s Worth’ cover</b></span></div><div>Nicks was able to tip her hat to Buffalo Springfield with a noteworthy rendition of “For What It’s Worth.”</div><div><br /></div><div>She described the songwriter, Stephen Stills, as one of her idols from the very beginning when she first started singing. “Stephen is somebody I’ve loved so much,” she said, prior to adding that it was a “dream come true” to record this tune.</div><div><br /></div><div>With “For What It’s Worth,” she encouraged the younger generation to go out and vote, especially since she didn’t start voting until five years ago. “I’m 75, so I went my whole life without voting, because I was busy and in a famous band,” she said.</div><div><br /></div><div>“My list of excuses went on and on. I didn’t think I would give it any thought at all. At about 70, I realized that I would be sorry someday when I’m 90 that I didn’t take advantage of the one thing in this country that we all have… and that’s the right to vote. So let’s just all vote ‘for what it’s worth’,” she elaborated.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>‘Gypsy’</b></span></div><div>Nicks noted that the Fleetwood Mac tune “Gypsy” was one of her favorite songs that she ever wrote, and that she wrote it on guitar at the time. This hit single, for Nicks, is a reminder of her humble beginnings, and went on to share a lengthy story about the origin of the song.</div><div><br /></div><div>“Before Lindsey [Buckingham] and I joined Fleetwood Mac, we were super poor. I was a cleaning lady… a very excellent cleaning lady,” she said. “I was, I have to admit the things that are true, but I wasn’t a very good waitress though I still made good money because I was fun to be around, and I liked food.”</div><div><br /></div><div>She picked up the pace with the fan-favorite “Gypsy,” where everybody was singing along with her, and she got the audience up on their feet.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>‘Wild Heart’</b></span></div><div>“This next song needs no introduction,” Nicks admitted, and immediately broke into “Wild Heart,” which was melodically stunning with an infectious beat to it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Equally remarkable was “Bella Donna,” the title track of her breakthrough solo studio album, which she released in 1981. A neat moment was when they brought out the original “Bella Donna” cape for her to wear.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>‘Stand Back’</b></span></div><div>A real treat was hearing “Stand Back” live, which is this journalist’s all-time favorite tune in her musical catalog. She also wore the original cape from the “Stand Back” video for this rousing live rendition.</div><div><br /></div><div>It was followed by “Soldier’s Angel,” where she showcased a great deal of attitude.</div><div><br /></div><div>Stevie Nicks dedicated ‘Soldier’s Angel’ to the women and kids in Ukraine. She acknowledged that “Soldier’s Angel” was one of the more “serious” songs of the evening, and she dedicated it to the Ukrainian women and children, as well as for herself because it makes her feel like she is doing something small to help them.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>‘Gold Dust Woman’</b></span></div><div>After a stirring interpretation of “Gold Dust Woman,” she received a standing ovation and shared that she wrote that on guitar as well. The on-screen videoboards had a “gold” theme to them, and she was wearing a golden cape.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>‘Leather and Lace’</b></span></div><div>For “Leather and Lace,” she sang praises for her vocal coach Steve Real, and subsequently invited him up on stage with her, for a memorable duet as he nailed Don Henley’s part.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="331" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8BXVPYU8ZGQ" width="558" youtube-src-id="8BXVPYU8ZGQ"></iframe></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>‘Edge of Seventeen’</b></span></div><div>After Real and Nicks embraced, she closed her elaborate set on a spitfire note with the rocking “Edge of Seventeen,” where she had everyone on their feet once again. “That was so much fun for us,” she admitted.</div><div><br /></div><div>“Thank you very much,” she told her audience about coming to see her and the band perform live at the UBS Arena. “Happy Valentine’s Day,” she exclaimed.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Encore</b></span></div><div>For her encore, Nicks returned to the UBS Arena stage and graced the audience with a distinct cover of Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’,” as well as the powerhouse tunes of the evening “Rhiannon” and “Landslide,” both of which were superb, earning huge standing ovations.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Verdict</b></span></div><div>Overall, Stevie Nicks was delightful at the UBS Arena in New York. She was able to take her audience on a journey through time with her music, which spans nearly six decades.</div><div><br /></div><div>She was a true storyteller, who shared her insights and behind-the-scenes of the songs that she performed tonight. It is evident that all of these songs are standards, and they will never go out of style.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Long Island audience knew very well that they were in the presence of a true trailblazer and music visionary.</div><div><br /></div><div>Nicks appeared comfortable on stage and her vocals were rich, lilting, and harking as ever. She interacted well with her audience and treated them as if they were her family.</div><div><br /></div><div>Whoever has yet to see this rock and rock songstress live in concert is missing out.</div><div><br /></div><div>Nicks was the first woman to get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on two different occasions: her first time as a band member of Fleetwood Mac and the second time as a solo artist, and rightfully so. Her live show at the UBS Arena earned an A rating.</div><div><br /></div><div>Photos: @JOEDONUT on X</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0149EL6hccDN1BHpoH7g2QFi2iak4ZDMI0ru4PTG1udGcB3kcP1czN8OS_O4NcYN0T4eg-Grp02wH2usuT9cAC8nicD1hXSpcbqm5oNSyltqbUsc2P-vRL8b-r8bIrZFuhA5pblp3KpkmdmrFZ5Plfm6AicurF-aP2gupcxsiNoLii7p7jyH0NmX4i_M/s2048/Stevie%20Nicks%20Elmont%20NY%20Feb%2014%202024%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0149EL6hccDN1BHpoH7g2QFi2iak4ZDMI0ru4PTG1udGcB3kcP1czN8OS_O4NcYN0T4eg-Grp02wH2usuT9cAC8nicD1hXSpcbqm5oNSyltqbUsc2P-vRL8b-r8bIrZFuhA5pblp3KpkmdmrFZ5Plfm6AicurF-aP2gupcxsiNoLii7p7jyH0NmX4i_M/w640-h480/Stevie%20Nicks%20Elmont%20NY%20Feb%2014%202024%20(1).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxagUNQfrs9qi93FvMX6kWWRrM8NBaudknSZ5dMiqR9hYDLhSVLFLY5q6nl8IRBU_p8fghUndFV-KOYsQsgnlt0PLuMD6UB_Awp1k2kPq8tau-oQQfyim6ohzrxFtg6Q29c0IKw2tv0Ab3owDvLkQeNziKJt0KDExLhxxH_NFMWxrH5HDsuTESKklNWrk/s2048/Stevie%20Nicks%20Elmont%20NY%20Feb%2014%202024%20(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxagUNQfrs9qi93FvMX6kWWRrM8NBaudknSZ5dMiqR9hYDLhSVLFLY5q6nl8IRBU_p8fghUndFV-KOYsQsgnlt0PLuMD6UB_Awp1k2kPq8tau-oQQfyim6ohzrxFtg6Q29c0IKw2tv0Ab3owDvLkQeNziKJt0KDExLhxxH_NFMWxrH5HDsuTESKklNWrk/w640-h480/Stevie%20Nicks%20Elmont%20NY%20Feb%2014%202024%20(2).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh53vbvC4zHbQdcsUN7rh3if7u4FfRACqMceMlgF2CUNPF4ZmzmoExRjAAmhphgkAB1ABfJB13euF9fo_lhMNr8FkgnmWzI-M-zAWvDWhr7KptkBA_DMAOcDMiMBeRr6KBnc0su7MNZmgSgh_ii4439E26hVxNfC_lTdYKs5zGu0jN4RWDpEXNOb0lfQAg/s2048/Stevie%20Nicks%20Elmont%20NY%20Feb%2014%202024%20(3).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh53vbvC4zHbQdcsUN7rh3if7u4FfRACqMceMlgF2CUNPF4ZmzmoExRjAAmhphgkAB1ABfJB13euF9fo_lhMNr8FkgnmWzI-M-zAWvDWhr7KptkBA_DMAOcDMiMBeRr6KBnc0su7MNZmgSgh_ii4439E26hVxNfC_lTdYKs5zGu0jN4RWDpEXNOb0lfQAg/w640-h480/Stevie%20Nicks%20Elmont%20NY%20Feb%2014%202024%20(3).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-41750743462270195132024-02-15T18:39:00.005-06:002024-02-20T18:03:46.339-06:00Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" Double Sided Picture Disc Record Store Day 2024<div style="text-align: left;"><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>RECORD STORE DAY 2024 - APRIL 20, 2024</b></span></div><div>Fleetwood Mac "Rumours" The band’s 21x platinum-certified 1977 album on a double-sided picture disc for the very first time!

The way she speaks between each song was a unique experience; one that isn’t as detailed, heartfelt, or even observed at other concerts. She has probably told these stories thousands of times, yet it felt like she was sharing a story with her best friends for the very first time on this evening in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It felt personal – much like the lyrics that make up the artist’s decade-spanning catalog.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Everything she touched upon was not without reason. She took three to five minutes each time to connect herself the setlist, herself with the audience, and herself with the musicians who helped make the songs we know and love today. For example, she told notable tales about Prince, her Fleetwood Mac family, and Tom Petty. As she eased her way into a beautiful performance of her hit with the latter rockstar, “Stop Dragging My Heart Around,” amazing visuals with old pictures of the pair and that moment in time swirled behind her and the band. It was mesmerizing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The whole show sparkles, literally and figuratively, but the way she takes fans on a journey by awakening multiple senses proves that this tour is the one to go to. It is the definitive Stevie Nicks.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A cosmic, bohemian artist, Nicks’ wardrobe is almost as notable as the songs themselves. Her outfit changes were usually just into a new robe, but with two of them being the original robes from album covers, they held special meaning outside of the way they float around her frame. As Nicks would hop backstage to toss on another look, her band would break out into insane solos. These instrumentals kept the energy up, impressed us all, and became introductions to the songs she was about to come back out and play.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This night in AC was the kick-off of this leg of Nicks’ tour, and like everything she does, it was curated perfectly. There were groovy moments, nostalgic moments, and funny moments, too. Stevie Nicks is authentic and we felt the authenticity in the room, and by the time the gorgeously in-tune encore of “Free Falling,” Rhiannon,” and “Landslide,” came around, that authentic nature had seeped into all of us. Leaving this concert meant leaving with a new appreciation for the songs and the woman behind the songs, but ourselves, as well.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Stevie Nicks has that magic. She always has. And the flow of a Stevie Nicks show is one of peace, ease, and harmony. The way she jumps from story to story and dives into song after song is effortless. Being a performer of passion, whimsy, and honesty is second nature to the rockstar. She told the audience about rehearsing in Atlantic City the week prior to her performance, how she loved the view from her room and the way it reminded her of her home on the pacific. The “Edge of Seventeen” singer could single-handedly change the reputation of the Garden State’s gambling hub with how highly she spoke of AC, the ocean, and the high energy aggression that she only amplified by taking the Etess Arena stage.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Overall, Stevie Nicks’ performance was amazing. She is one of the most talented vocalists for her age, and the talented band behind her was just phenomenal as they played off each other, but with each other, too. The production of show was amazing – from the visuals to the light show to the order of the setlist.
