Vanessa Carlton To Open For Stevie Nicks - 4 Dates

Vanessa Carlton announced last night that she will be opening for Stevie on the following dates:

July 6th – Fox Theatre, Detroit
July 12th – Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville, CT
July 14th – Farm Bureau Live, Virginia Beach, VA
July 15th – Borgata Event Center, Atlantic City, NJ

Vanessa is out on the road in support of her fourth album Rabbits on the Run which was released in July, 2011. Amazon

Here's what she said on Facebook

"Sometimes music is a purely spiritual experience.  That's how I feel when I watch Stevie Nicks.  Miss Nicks is her own breed of shaman, and I'm psyched to announce that while she is on tour next month I will open a few shows.  I'm totally honored and excited to see my friends again.  I highly recommend coming out and getting a glimpse.  It’s always inspiring to see a pure artist like Stevie.  As for moi?  I’ll play a little set...mostly stuff from Rabbits, a few ear worms and will test out some new ideas (all with the violinist Skye Steele)."

Vanessa and Stevie have a long history of friendship and musicianship... Vanessa has opened for Stevie a number of times in the US and in Australia in 2005 and 2006.  Stevie appeared on Vanessa's album Heroes & Thieves where she added background vocals to "The One". Vanessa appeared with Stevie on 2009's "Live in Chicago" DVD where they performed "The One".  Most recently, Stevie lent her support to Vanessa in Carlsbad, CA in February, 2011 during The Sunset Sessions, which is a music industry event.

Nice to see her back!

Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nicks couldn't be further apart!

Lindsey was spotted today in Hawaii at the Grand Hyatt by Cale Ramaker news achor for KLAS-TV 8 in Las vegas - he ran into Lindsey today.

Stevie just finished up her sold out show at The Beacon in New York City were from all accounts, she owned it!

To quote Sandra Bernhard who attended tonight

"Stevie the shamaness alabaster beauty blew us all away tonight at the Beacon thank you goddess"

No changes to the set list... Tons of pics from the night were sent out by a lot of really generous Tweeters.... Big thanks to you for the live Tweets!! If you follow me on Twitter you were probably overwhelmed by the volume (again) in your own feed... If not, check my feed for all that I RT'd HERE.

UPDATE: Stevie Nicks In Your Dreams Documentary...

IN YOUR DREAMS DOCUMENTARY UPDATE: 

Stevie says filming was from February to December, 2010 which we knew... She also says they edited it down from 100 hours down to 3 hours, then in the last four months, they edited it down from 3 hours to 1 1/2 hours.  She says it's like an old fashioned Rock & Roll Film.  She didn't announce a release date... But reports last week indicate that it should be out by the end of this year.  Interview was during the Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in New York City June 14th

Listen to the interview... Skip ahead to the 1:43 mark.  The Eagle 92.9


"We filmed it. And we filmed it from February to December. And it took them all year to actually edit it from 100 hours to three hours and in the last four months we've edited it down to an hour-and-a-half. Um, it's really a magical little film, because it really shows you -- it's like and old fashioned rock n' roll film about how, y'know, you go. . . My idea and Dave's idea was Led Zeppelin recording at the Grange. So we said. 'We have. . . I have a big old house, so let's record the record there' -- and that's what we did."

# 94 (44) Fleetwood Mac - Greatest Hits

UK - JULY 7, 2012
TOP 100 ALBUMS CHART

Fleetwood Mac's UK Box Set "25 Years - The Chain" moves down, but only slightly this week from #17 to #24 in it's 3rd week of release pretty much guaranteeing it will stick around the Top 100 for a 4th and possibly a 5th week. This 4 CD Box Set has done really well for the band in the UK.  It was originally released worldwide in 1992 but never charted in the UK.  With new packaging for this years release including the same music and same 68 page booklet as the '92 version, but selling at a deeply discounted price at Amazon, HMV and other retailers it's pretty amazing what it's done at retail!  Nice set up for next years Fleetwood Mac tour and the likelihood that dates will happen in the UK. Rumours on the Catalogue Charts this week is sitting nicely at #9.

# 24 (17) Fleetwood Mac - 25 Years, The Chain

Buy Fleetwood Mac's 4 disc Box Set "25 Years - The Chain" 2 For £15.00 at HMV or Amazon for £9.97.
