You choose... Who covered Fleetwood Mac better

Two Fleetwood Mac tunes were performed last night on The Voice.  Alex Marceaux took on Lindsey's Go Your Own Way while Suzanna Choffel landed Stevie's Landslide... Both great covers, but Suzanna get's my vote.  I think America responded really well to Suzanna's rendition as well.  Stevie Nicks was trending world wide on Twitter for awhile shortly after she sang the song..  Who do you think nailed it?

Stevie Nicks Live in St. Petersburg, with Oprah Film Crew in tow!

Couldn't resist posting these two live shots that @GigiGanatra posted on Twitter.. Simply amazing especially this first one!  Great capture during Rhiannon of Stevie tonight in St. Petersburg at The Mahaffey Theater.

It looks like fans were treated with the full on setlist tonight (minus "Ghosts Are Gone") which based on the photo below doesn't look like it made it tonight!  Another change up tonight, is the dress and boots!  Stevie's back to the layered (I don't know what you call it) type of dress, switching out of the frilly ruffled one. And those boots look a little different in the heel..thinner and higher. 

Thanks to @FleurDeBrie for taking a snapshot of the setlist! and to @GigiGanatra for the two stunning shots!  And to @dreamsunwind725 for the disclaimer.

OWN NETWORK Rumour Update:
A few days ago Tampabay.com printed online that Oprah's Own Network were rumoured to be coming to the show tonight to film segments of the show for an upcoming project for the OWN Network... Well according to @dreamsunwind725 on Twitter there definitely was a camera crew at the show tonight filming.  Brittany said:

"two cameramen were out tonight & there was a disclaimer on the door that the concert was taped for television purposes." 

She went on to say that,

"most of the show was taped from the front few rows & side of stage. Everytime Stevie walked out camera followed."  

So this is pretty cool, exciting and something new to look forward to!... Whatever Oprah and her Team put together on Stevie I'm sure it'll be amazing and classy and I look forward to seeing it!

@SteviesSara reminded me of the original Tweet that got this whole ball rolling with the OWN Network with this ReTweet from OWN President Sheri Salata:

RT @SheriSalata: @SteviesSara hoping to shoot the brilliant and legendary Ms. Nicks on masterclass soon.

Thanks to everyone tonight for the info and pics tonight...  Next stop St. Augustine tomorrow night.  Just a few tickets left here.

She did it!!  Stevie Nicks performed "New Orleans" live for the first time EVER! 

Stevie joined Glady's Knight and Melissa Etheridge in New Orleans last night at the AARP Life@50 event closing out the three day national conference with a live show at the New Orleans Arena.  Each played for an hour... Melissa first, Glady's second and Stevie closed the show... Unsure of Stevie's full setlist - it was likely abbreviated given she only played an hour. Mike Valentino and Beth Gallups were there... Below are their tweets to Stevie performing "New Orleans".

I think it's awesome that Stevie sang New Orleans... It's perfect for the city, a great tune and it had to be sung! Who knows when her next opportunity will be.


Thanks to an Anonymous comment we know have last nights setlist!

 1) Rock and Roll
 2) Rhiannon
 3) Landslide
 4) Stand Back

Glass Tiger Album "Then, Now, Next" Features Mick Fleetwood on Beatles Cover

Glass Tiger "Then, Now, Next" Features Mick Fleetwood playing drums on the Beatles cover song "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away.

Remember Glass Tiger?  They were one of the bigger Canadian bands of the 1980's with a slew of hits in Canada including the US Top 10 hits "Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone)" and "Someday".  Well they're back.. Sort of.

They just finished a Canada tour opening for Roxette this month and in late August released "Then, Now, Next" which is kind of a best of set that includes 4 new songs one of them being the Beatles cover of "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" which features Mick Fleetwood on drums.  Here's what keyboardist/songwriter Sam Reid had to say about the song and Micks involvement.

All members of the band are big Beatles fans, so when the group was looking for another song to add to the package, Reid reminded singer Alan Frew of an earlier recording of the classic "You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away".

“That track goes back to when Frew was working on his solo album 1994 album "Hold On". He was dabbling with that song back then. And we actually had it, and for some reason it never got released. But people should know that that’s Mick Fleetwood (of the legendary band Fleetwood Mac) playing drums on that,” he said.

“When we were looking for songs to put on this compilation, I told Alan I always love his version of that song, that we should put it out. So we played it for the rest of the band, and we fixed it up a little bit here and there. But I loved Mick Fleetwood’s playing on it. It’s very Ringo-like.”

Re/Max Official Announcement: STEVIE NICKS to Perform at Vegas Convention February, 2013

Re/Max made the announcement today that Stevie Nicks will be the featured artist to play the Re/Max convention set for February 28, 2013 in Las Vegas at the MGM Arena.  I'm speculating that given this is a one off performance, it's not likely to interfere with anything Fleetwood Mac!

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: The featured artist at the 40th Anniversary RE/MAX R4 Party with a Purpose, February 28th, 2013 at the MGM Arena in Las Vegas is STEVIE NICKS!
