STEVIE NICKS LIVE in Bethel, NY August 27th Bethel Woods Center for the Arts

Update:  As of just a couple of ours ago, Bethel is still saying the show is on as scheduled.  I'm not in that area so I can't comment on the severity of the storm, so all I'll say is stay safe, make a choice to attend based on your safety not on whether the show will go on or not.  Some of you are travelling from distances that will be under states of emergencies with road's closed.  Take all that into consideration for when the show ends, you will still need to get back to your homes.

Most recently from Bethel:

The safety of our guests, artists and staff is Priority #1. We have been carefully monitoring the weather conditions w/ the public authorities and consulting with the artist management. According to the NWS rain showers are likely after 10pm Saturday. The heavy rain and wind related to Irene is expected early Sunday morning at approximately 2a-5a. The venue, staff and artist is prepared to provide the safest environment for concert-goers this evening. The concert is scheduled to end at 10:35pm.


The Stevie Nicks concert on Saturday, Aug 27 is on as scheduled with an 8pm show time. We are carefully monitoring the weather conditions with local and national agencies and will update as needed. Currently the storm is expected to hit our area around 8am on Sunday morning.

(Review) Stevie Nicks 'In Your Dreams'

There’s still only one Stevie Nicks – witchy, mystical and romantic.

by: Nick Levine 2011-06-17
BBC.co.uk

If her first solo record in a decade proves anything, it's that there's still only one Stevie Nicks. A few tunes feature country-ish flourishes, and Italian Summer is an orchestral ballad that sways with the blowsy elegance of a half-soaked matriarch, but otherwise In Your Dreams sticks to the slick, melodic soft rock template set by Nicks on her first effort away from Fleetwood Mac, 1981's Bella Donna.

So while the production is as solid and glossy as a polished mahogany worktop – what else would you expect from Dave ‘Eurythmics’ Stewart and Glen ‘Jagged Little Pill’ Ballard? – the Nicks shtick, that familiar mix of the witchy, the mystical and the romantic, ensures that In Your Dreams only slips into vapidity on two or three occasions.

It's the romantic element of her well-honed persona that's the most prevalent across these 14 tracks. Written in the mid-70s, Secret Love is a paean to a clandestine liaison with a rock lothario whose identity, showbiz pro that she is, Nicks claims not to remember; Annabel Lee's lyrics are adapted from a poem by Edgar Allan Poe about love that lasts beyond the grave; and Cheaper Than Free features a cavalcade of couplets every bit as corny as the Green Giant's toothpick. An example: "What's deeper than a deep well? / The love into which I fell."

One song, the almost Evanescence-esque Moonlight (A Vampire's Dream), is even inspired by the Twilight series, a pop culture phenomenon that the uncharitable might note is targeted not at a 63-year-old (gold dust) woman of the world, but bewildered sexual innocents on the edge of 17.

But perhaps even more remarkably, 34 years on from Rumours, Nicks is still capable of extracting emotional heft from her relationship with Mac comrade and former flame Lindsey Buckingham. "We cause each other such pain everywhere we go now / At home or on the stage," she sings on Everybody Loves You, sounding more throatily goat-like than ever. Yes, if In Your Dreams proves anything...

New Lindsey Buckingham Song "When She Comes Down" Stevie Nicks heard it and goes, ‘Who’s that about? Some goddess?’

Lindsey Buckingham has accomplished almost everything that can be done in rock ‘n’ roll, earning a spot in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame with Fleetwood Mac, winning countless awards, selling out venues around the world, and helping define the sound of rock for the last 3 decades. He’s the predominant musical force behind such Mac albums as Rumours and the innovative Tusk, and has created a critically acclaimed body of solo work that yielded the hits, “Trouble,” “Go Insane,” and “Holiday Road.”

But one thing was missing as Buckingham and his band mates were dominating music. “The irony of the bulk of the Fleetwood Mac experience was that none of us were comfortable,” Buckingham confesses. “We had this external success going, which was not matched by any kind of internal success. It didn’t make any of us whole people or contented people in that sense.”

Now married and with three kids Buckingham has found that internal success as he puts it. “It really does feel like the best time of my life,” he says.

That contentment and peace are evident throughout his sixth solo album, Seeds We Sow. From the soft melodic pop/rock tinge of “End Of Time” and the album’s most rocking track, “One Take,” to the touching “When She Comes Down” and the almost lullaby-esque hushed tones of the gorgeous closing number, “She Smiles Sweetly,” the album showcases Buckingham’s full arsenal of skills.

He attributes his peace to two things. The first is his personal life, “To finally meet someone and to have the family thing happen, that’s been a real gift,” he says. The other is musical. “If there is a level of contentedness that I’ve arrived at, part of it is because I think in the last three or four years what I experienced during the solo albums and then what I experienced on the last Fleetwood Mac tour I felt like I had come to a point where there was so much foundation that I had built for myself making incremental steps forward as a musician and as an artist,” he says.

Stevie Nicks "In Your Dreams" - Week 6 on Billboards Top 200 Album Chart

In Billboard Magazines June 25th issue Stevie's "In Your Dreams" will be at # 87 on the Top 200 Albums Chart.  On the Top 200 Current Albums Chart the disc is at # 85 and on the the Top Rock Albums Chart it's at # 32.  No sales date is available at this time. 

# 87 - USA Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart
# 85 - USA Billboard Top 200 Current Albums Chart
# 32 - USA Billboard Top Rock Albums Chart

Wk 1: #  6  - 5/21/11 - 52,418 Debut
Wk 2: # 16 - 5/28/11 - 20,400 Accumulated total = 72,818
Wk 3: # 24 - 6/04/11 - 15,500 Accumulated total = 88,318
Wk 4: # 47 - 6/11/11 - 9,933 Accumulated total = 98,251
Wk 5: # 59 - 6/18/11 - 7,470 Accumulated total = 105,721
Wk 6: # 87 - 6/25/11 - 5,547 Accumulated total = 111,268

'In Your Dreams' has already surpassed that of her last album "The Soundstage Sessions" which debuted at # 47 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums Chart back in April, 2009.  That album dropped off after spending only 2 weeks on the chart.  Hopefully with the news this week of the 15 city tour beginning in August it spurs a little more interest in the album and sustains it.  I think it would be a really good time to get that second single movin'!  It's reportedly "For What It's Worth".
