Buckingham Nicks "Frozen Love" Song Exploder Interview with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham

 EPISODE 302: BUCKINGHAM NICKS

“FROZEN LOVE”

LISTEN: APPLE · SPOTIFY · AMAZON · OTHER APPS

This is a must listen... 

On September 5, 1973, the first and only Buckingham Nicks album was released. It wasn’t a huge hit, but it was how the world was first introduced to the music of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, before they went on to become members of Fleetwood Mac. Their time together in Fleetwood Mac led to some of the best-selling, most critically acclaimed, and most influential albums of all time. Their individual talents, their musical chemistry together, and the ups and downs of their romantic relationship all eventually became legendary.

And yet, despite all that, the Buckingham Nicks album went out of print not long after it came out. For over 50 years, it wasn’t available until it finally got remastered and re-released in September 2025. So for this episode, I spoke to both Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham about the making of one of the songs from that album, called “Frozen Love.” It’s the only song on the album where they’re credited as co-writers, and it’s the song that led Mick Fleetwood to invite Lindsey Buckingham to join Fleetwood Mac. But Lindsey would only join if Stevie could, too, and that’s how that story began. This episode is about beginnings and endings. It’s the story of how Stevie and Lindsey first met, and how they made “Frozen Love,” and how that song really led to the end of their band.

I also want to mention that not only was Buckingham Nicks out of print for all those decades, no one has heard the isolated tracks that you’re about to hear. To make this episode, there was an epic search for the original master tape from Sound City, the studio where they recorded the album with producer Keith Olsen. It took months, but the tape was finally tracked down and digitized, and it feels very special to be able to present this for the first time here, along with the memories and stories from Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.

You can buy or stream the remastered album here, and you can buy or stream “Frozen Love” here.

Good things came to Stevie Nicks fans in Detroit

Stevie Nicks makes the wait worthwhile 

at Little Caesars Arena

By GARY GRAFF

Good things came to Stevie Nicks fans who waited on Tuesday night, Oct. 28 at Detroit’s Little Caesar’s Arena.

The metro area was first slated to see the two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Famer — with Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist — with Billy Joel on March 29 at Ford Field. After that show was canceled due to Joel’s health issues, Nicks scheduled her own stop for Sept. 7 at LCA, which she then had to postpone after falling and fracturing her shoulder.

“All I can say is, here I am,” Nicks told the mostly full arena Tuesday, after starting her hour-and-45-minute show with a pointedly defiant rendition of Buddy Holly & the Crickets’ “Not Fade Away.” Giving the joint a therapeutic roll, she added that, “I’m feeling my shoulder as I do it” but that “every single day I get up, something feels better.” Advising fans “always avoid breaking your shoulder,” Nicks noted that “I’m glad I have somewhere to go other than my living room.”

She could rest assured the feeling was mutual.

While some of Nicks’ acknowledged excesses over the years did not make her someone we expected to still be going strong at 77, she’s defied odds to be doing just that — and as the lone Fleetwood Mac alumnus still out there playing the band’s songs. There were five of those in Tuesday’s 15-song set — 13 of them repeats from her November 2023 stop at LCA — making for a crowd-pleasing A-list experience surveying 40 years of her recording career. (Though surprisingly with nothing from 1973’s “Buckingham Nicks” album, which was re-released last month with some degree of fanfare.)

Even better was that Nicks and her eight-piece band, led by guitarist Waddy Wachtel, played everything with a grit that rocked harder than their polished counterparts on record. The troupe certainly incorporated all the nuances that are part of those songs but with more stomp and crunch, elevating and often extending favorites such as “Outside the Rain,” “Stand Back,” “Edge of Seventeen” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Gypsy and “Rhiannon.” Only “Gold Dust Woman,” from Mac’s blockbuster “Rumours,” suffered for the approach, the song’s delicate, building dynamics steamrollered by the more muscular arrangement and over-driven drums.

That was an outlier among the highlights, however, which also included a smooth pairing of the title tracks from Nicks’ first two solo albums — “Bella Donna” and “Wild Heart” — and a performance of “The Lighthouse,” her 2024 response to the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022. Nicks introduced most songs with stories about their conceptions, and she used the curved video screen above the rear of the stage for some sentimental moments. Images of past paramours and friends (Tom Petty, Don Henley, Bob Dylan, Prince, Janis Joplin) accompanied a version of her Petty collaboration “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around,” while she offered a more extensive Petty tribute as she sang his “Free Fallin’.” Prince, meanwhile, was the focus during “Edge of Seventeen.”

Longtime musical and onetime personal partner Lindsey Buckingham only merited a brief mention during the show, but Nicks ended the night by honoring her late Fleetwood Mac bandmate Christine McVie with a series of photos as she and Wachtel played a gentle version of “Landslide.” Nicks also dedicated the song to her recently born grand-niece, promising that she would give her a crown-wreath of flowers a fan had tossed to her during the show.

She left with another promise — to return, perhaps as soon as next year, and it’s likely anyone at LCA on Tuesday will be happy to wait for that, too.

NOT FADE AWAY

IF ANYONE FALLS

Stevie Nicks dazzled in Detroit The voice, the hits, the storytelling... exactly what fans came out to see.

Stevie Nicks delivers hypnotic showstopper following shoulder fracture

DETROIT - Stevie Nicks dazzled in Detroit at a concert which almost didn’t happen after the singer suffered a fractured shoulder from a fall just a few months ago, forcing her to postpone numerous shows.

She originally was supposed to open for Billy Joel at Ford Field before he had his own health problems forcing him to cancel his tour.

She finally made it back to Detroit, performing a 100-minute set at Little Caesars Arena on Tuesday, October 28.

Nicks treated fans to a mesmerizing, showstopping concert which featured storytelling between songs. And on this night, she had a new story to tell.

“I’m healing my shoulder as I speak,” Nicks told the crowd while showing the limited movement she had in her right shoulder. “Every single day when I get up, something about it is better.”

“I only like to share this with you because I want you to know, always avoid breaking your shoulder under any circumstances. Always watch where you’re going. Always wear shoes in an unfamiliar room and never fall. Ever.”

“That being said, I have fought through it and I’m really glad I have somewhere to go besides my living room. I thought I’d turn you into my bigger, better living room.”

And this living room was filled to capacity with fans of all ages. There were a lot more fans in their teens, 20s and 30s than one might expect.

They were all there to hear Nicks’ signature rasp and one hit song after another. And the 77-year old delivered just that with a little bonus storytelling.

Like the time she didn’t have a lead single for her debut solo album, “Bella Donna,” until Tom Petty asked her to sing on “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” with him.

Or most recently when she spent a full day writing, “The Lighthouse,” only to delay performing it on stage for about a year because of the California wildfires.

On this night, Nicks delivered powerful vocals in a no thrills, straight forward concert featuring a full band and two backup singers.

Her solo hits included, “If Anyone Falls,” Wild Heart," “Bella Donna,” “Stand Back,” and “Edge of Seventeen.”

Fleetwood Mac moments featured, “Dreams,” “Gold Dust Woman,” “Gypsy,” “Rhiannon,” and “Landslide.”

Nicks paid tribute to Petty with a cover of “Free Fallin’” with photos of the two together over the years. She did the same with Christine McVie during “Landslide.”

The voice, the hits, the storytelling... exactly what fans came out to see.

“You have been an awesome audience. I have to tell you, going into this show, I was a little tired, but you, because you were so fabulous, I caught the boom and we did it together. It was really fabulous and I enjoyed being here with you and being able to tell you how much I appreciate you.”

From Injury to Enchantment: Stevie Nicks Triumphs at Connecticut’s PeoplesBank Arena

Stevie Nicks headlines a magical first show at 

Hartford’s remodeled arena

The Daily Campus

Classic rock icon and two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Stevie Nicks, headlined the first show at Connecticut’s newly renovated PeoplesBank Arena on Saturday, Oct. 25.

Nicks’ show was powerful, fun, charming and haunting at the same time. Fans of all ages, from mother daughter duos to elderly couples and millennial super fans packed the updated arena, formerly known as the XL Center.

“The seats alone were better, which seems like a silly thing to notice, but at a concert where you are sitting for like three hours, comfort matters,” Dana Humphreys, a resident from Marlborough, Conn. and attendee of the concert said. “I was blown away by all the new seating.”

Honoring both Nicks and the venue, Governor Ned Lamont signed October 25th as Connecticut’s official “Stevie Nicks Day.” The day was fitting, with Nicks describing the Hartford audience as her most energetic crowd of the tour, despite already being multiple shows in.

“I appreciated the fact that [Lamont] did that, mainly because artists to the caliber of Stevie Nicks don’t come to Hartford; they go to Boston or New York. I think the fact that she did take the time to come to Hartford made it more than appropriate and very cool to proclaim Stevie Nicks day,” Humphreys said.

Just weeks prior, the fate of the concert was up in the air after Nicks fractured her shoulder in August. However, the show did go on, and she did not disappoint. Nicks explained on stage that the injury taught her a lot about herself — both about the things she can and cannot do. She even dedicated the final song of the night, “Landslide” to her doctor, Dr. Goodman, who helped her recover and helped her brother in the past.

Nicks performed 15 songs, with her encore being the famous and ever-haunting “Rhiannon” followed by the sentimental “Landslide.” At the conclusion of the show, many audience members were seen crying as Nicks finished the show with lyrics “the landslide will bring you down.” Hearing a 77-year-old Nicks sing the lyrics “I’m getting older too” that she first wrote at 25 is enough to make anyone who has been a longtime fan cry.

“Her whole performance was really impressive, I thought,” Ana Sanchez, a third-semester molecular and cell biology major at UConn said. “For her age it’s amazing to see that she can still put in so much effort into a show and make it entertaining.”

The majority of the set consisted of songs off of Nicks’ debut album, “Bella Donna,” its successor “The Wild Heart” and earlier hits from her Fleetwood Mac days. Highlights of the night were the emotional title track, “Bella Donna,” the infamous “Dreams” and the upbeat “Stand Back.”

Despite her recent injury, Nicks got around the stage alright for someone her age, but then again, she is not a typical 77-year-old. Her voice sounded up to par and potentially even better than when I had seen her in concert about a year and a half prior.

“I had seen some clips online, and she did not really sound great when you listened through third parties,” Humphreys said. “But I will say that in person, in that concert I thought she was absolutely phenomenal. Her energy, the sound of her voice; if you closed your eyes, you would never know it was 77-year-old Stevie Nicks singing, and not 37-year-old her.”

The essence of the early Nicks era and her white witch magic especially shone through during “Gold Dust Woman;” it was enchanting and transcendent. Nicks performed an extended version of the song where it almost seemed as if she were casting a spell on the audience. There was an instant shift of energy in the room during the song, with everyone’s eyes glued on Nicks and all of her mystique.

Sanchez also enjoyed a Fleetwood Mac song that Nicks performed.

“My favorite song she performed was ‘Gypsy,’” Sanchez said. “I was really looking forward to it.”

Generations of families, especially women, were found everywhere at the show. Nicks recently has stood for women’s rights, with her 2024 song “The Lighthouse,” which she also performed live. She encouraged the audience to stand up for their rights as she spoke to the crowd, telling the origin story of that song, which she had done for a few other songs of the night as well.

Humphreys explained that Nicks’ storytelling made the show a much more personal experience.

“[Nicks] is a female powerhouse, she’s an icon. Anytime there are people like her, I am drawn to them,” Humphreys said. “I am drawn to her, woman to woman. I love to experience females that are successful. She is really inspiring.”
