NICKS AND STEWART REVIEW - ATLANTA... Venerable duo dazzled during their respective sets

Stewart and Nicks a perfect pair — apart

It turns out that the interesting-yet-odd pairing of Stevie Nicks and Rod Stewart is more odd than interesting.

Separately, they’re terrific.

Together? Meh.

At Thursday night’s Philips Arena show – only the second date of the “Heart and Soul” tour after the kickoff in Fort Lauderdale was scotched Sunday due to Stewart “having the flu” – the venerable duo dazzled during their respective sets.

At 7:28 p.m., Stewart waltzed out on stage in his best boat captain getup to introduce “one of the truly great, iconic voices of rock ‘n’ roll…and I’m not talking about myself.”

Unfortunately for Nicks, whom he was talking about, the arena was about half-filled at that point, with many fans likely assuming that a 7:30 ticket meant an 8 p.m. or later start. When was the last time you attended a rock concert that started on time?

But Nicks, in her trademark layers of black ruffles and sequins, was undeterred as she barreled through a muddy “Fall From Grace” and a much cleaner-sounding “Secret Love,” the dreamy new single from her upcoming May release.

Stevie Nicks and Rod Stewart in Atlanta... A Nice Change of Events!

By the sounds of the early reports coming in from fans able to get themselves together or home from the show,  the Heart and Soul Tour is officially back on track.

With the opening date derailed because of illness and the second first show not having any of the duets or even the intro by Rod for Stevie's set like we heard he was going to do... Many were wondering what the hell!. At tonights Atlanta show that all seemed to change.

  • Rod introduced Stevie's set
  • Stevie dropped Rock N Roll from her set and no Edge walk (blame the stage)
  • Stevie and Rod both sang on Young Turks and Passion to great applause
  • Stevie wore pants during her duets with Rod
Nice change of events... which I'm sure will make a lot of people happy at the upcoming shows.

Stevie Nicks offers words of advice to Emily Jaye

Emily Jaye is the frontwoman for Frentik 

What would you say is some of the best advice you’ve ever have gotten?

Just to keep doing it; try to write everyday. Actually, its funny, I just met Stevie Nicks recently, which was incredible. We had this bonding moment and it was really cool.

We played this thing in San Diego called the Sunset Sessions. She came and she spoke and I got to meet her. She said that she writes in her journal every single night, regardless of how tired she is. She has the pages open and she writes in her journal on the left and she keeps the right side blank, so that when she goes back and she reads it, she can pull things out of her journal and write lyrics on the other page. That’s really cool because I’ve had a hard time with journaling and then trying to pull lyrics out and that’s a cool way she does it. I was like; I’m going to start doing that. So I did.

Merchandise for Stevie Nicks... Way Cheaper To Buy On-line

I'm not one to deprive someone of making a buck, but the difference between buying the T-shirts online as apposed to buying at the shows is huge!  Definitely a bargain if you shop online!... The new T-Shirts alone are going for around the $40 mark if you buy at one of the live dates...

Oprah staff contact Ottawa Stevie Nicks Megafan


Producers for The Oprah Winfrey Show are all ears about an Ottawa man's campaign to share his story about how his favourite singer changed his life.

Matthew Denison e-mailed the show, imploring them to feature former Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks as a guest on the influential TV host's final season.

When Winfrey's staff wrote back to the 30-year-old, saying they were interested and wanted to hear more from him, Denison was thrilled.

"When I e-mailed the producer, I took a picture of myself with all my collection on my parents' dining room table," he said. "Everything that I've acquired thus far in about 11 years that I've been a superfan."
'Inspiring and powerful' songs
It was Nicks's music, particularly her 1986 single Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You, that Denison credits to helping him through low times.

He and his twin brother both struggled with learning disabilities, stuttering, seizures, making friends and landing jobs. But the messages in her songs, he said, helped him carry on.

"A lot of her songs are very inspiring and powerful, and it makes you definitely feel positive about yourself," he said.

Oprah's website has now posted a call-out requesting submissions from Nicks's fans to tell producers about why they'd like to meet the musician.

Together with his older sister, Leanne, Denison has now mounted an online campaign through Facebook to rally more people behind him and his story.
