Here's a little bit of what she said... Taken from the video below:

"This is not... I repeat, this is not a Stevie Nicks Greatest Hits Tour.  After doing this last summer and this summer I probably will never do a Stevie Nicks tour that is just Stevie Nicks hits again because for my own artistic trip I have got to do new things and I appreciate the fact that everybody has given me the chance to do that. I do, really you have no idea how much. So... I thank you for coming, I thank you for being wonderful and loyal and all of that. It never.. for one second do I take it for granted. So knowing that... I think we should begin with something new... Secret Love."

Also available is a 12 minute Edge of Seventeen

Review: Stevie Nicks Jones Beach June 29, 2012

Stevie Nicks Shines During a Windy Jones Beach Concert
by Beth at Comic Sutra

Stevie Nicks has been a rock music icon now for several decades now but her fans adore her not just for her music or her unique style. More than anything else, Nicks’ honesty is at the heart of the bond between the singer/songwriter and her fans.

Jones Beach was the start of Nicks’ summer 2012 concert tour – her first performance since her mother’s death in December 2011. After the opening number, Nicks confessed that she had been unable to rehearse with the rest of the band because she lost her voice a week before, so she’d be flying by the seat of her pants.

The show didn’t look it. Nicks’ voice was in fine form and it had the perfect blend of polish and spontaneity.

3 Weeks Today: Lindsey Buckingham Goes Insane in Birmingham, AL

Buckingham Nicks were fairly huge in Alabama back about the time Lindsey and Stevie joined Fleetwood Mac at the beginning of 1975.  Here's what Lindsey had to say about Birmingham, AL: 

"We had this very strange area of localized success....a little pocket of Buckingham Nicks- mania! Of the few gigs we had done two were in Birmingham, Alabama; the first was opening for MOUNTAIN, and the second was opening for POCO...and for some reason we really caught fire in that town. Some DJ’s picked up on the album, and it was a huge success there- so we went down a storm! If nowhere else in the world, Buckingham Nicks were stars in Birmingham, Alabama..”

“It so happened that our last gigs as Buckingham Nicks was at Birmingham just after we’d joined Fleetwood Mac. As a result of our two previous gigs we were booked as the headline act, and the lineup was ; Stevie Nicks-vocals; Lindsey Buckingham-guitar, vocals; Bob Geary-drums; Gary Hodges-drums; Tom Moncrieff-bass. So we topped the bill to an audience of 7,000- and Buckingham Nicks went out on a much higher note than anyone could have expected.”

Nice photo of Stevie Nicks in todays The Daily News of Newburyport with the following text:

NICKS: ‘More proud’ of new record than anything she has done before

When Stevie Nicks decided to record her first solo album in 10 years, she called her old pal, Eurythmics veteran Dave Stewart.

Not only did he prove to be a particularly well-suited writing partner and producer, he shared a unique historical circumstance that bonded them in a special sort of kinship: Like Nicks, Stewart had been part of a duo that was both musical and romantic. And like Nicks, his romance ended before the musical connection did.

Stewart, of course, was in love with Annie Lennox when the pair gained fame. Nicks had joined forces with Lindsey Buckingham when they were high school students. 

Buckingham was invited to join Fleetwood Mac, he said the Buckingham-Nicks duo, which had released one dead-in-the-water album, was a package deal.

By the time they split, they had put their indelible stamp on what would become one of the bestselling albums of all time, 1977’s “Rumours.” And as if this isn’t enough couple trivia, “Rumours” is actually a chronicle of two band couples coming apart — Nicks and Buckingham and John and Christine McVie.

Then, of course, there was the affair between Nicks and band co-founder and drummer, Mick Fleetwood. But now this is getting confusing.

Fleetwood Mac members have since splintered and come together again more than once. In the meantime, each has made solo forays.

Nicks, who comes to Boston on Tuesday, July 10, has notched the most successful solo career of any Fleetwood Mac veteran. Her string of hits, with and without Fleetwood Mac, represents one of pop music’s most beloved canons: The list includes “Rhiannon,” “Landslide,” “Dreams” (a favorite topic), “Edge of Seventeen,” “Leather and Lace” (a duet with one-time lover Don Henley), “Stand Back” and, with Tom Petty, “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around.”

Her gypsy/witchy-woman look - Victorian-inspired gowns, 

high-heeled boots, leather and lace, silk and satin, romantic hats, 

long, blonde hair, all shown off with frequent 

stage twirls, set a tone in the ’70s from 

which she hasn’t wavered.

She hasn’t changed her songwriting style much, either — or at least, she hadn’t, until she began working with Stewart on “In Your Dreams,” released in May 2011.

Up until he sat in her L.A. living room, expecting her to sing along as he played, she’d never written a song with another person while sharing the same breathing space, face-to-face.

“I sent him 40 pages of poetry, never really expecting him to read all of it, but he did,” Nicks recalled, speaking over the phone in her deep alto tone. “He puts his guitar on and he takes one of the poems out of the binder that I had sent him, and he said, ‘I like this poem. Let’s do this one.’”

Startled, she wanted to tell him she doesn’t write with other people. But she kept quiet.

“Something in me said, ‘Don’t say that. Just sit there and see what he is gonna do,’” she confessed.

And he played. He asked her to sing. And she did.

“That’s actually the third to the last song on the record; it’s called ‘You May Be The One,’” she said. “That’s how it started. And 20 minutes later, we had a really good song.”

The only song on which they actually shared lyricwriting duties was “Everybody Loves You.” Stewart supplied her with a chorus and asked her to write verses. The words he provided were, “Everybody loves you but you’re so alone, no one really knows you, but I’m the only one.”

“I immediately took it like he was writing that about Annie Lennox, because that sounded like a person from a duo writing a song about the other person in the duo,” Nicks said. “And what Dave and I had that was great was that we’d both been in really famous duos, so the whole time we were making this record, I feel like Lindsey and Annie were floating around in the room. Because a lot of the stuff that we both wrote seemed to be directed to our years as famous people in duos.”

She’s hoping her summer solo tour will draw audiences to her poignant mix of love songs, reminiscences, dreamscapes and odes to soldiers, vampires, New Orleans and even Edgar Allen Poe (Nicks set Poe’s poem, “Annabel Lee” to music).

“In Your Dreams” also contains contributions by frequent collaborator Mike Campbell, along with Buckingham, Waddy Wachtel, Fleetwood and other players she’s worked with in the past. Except for drum overdubs, they recorded the entire album in her home, starting in January 2010 and finishing in December.

“It was the best year of my life,” Nicks enthused. “I am probably more proud of this record than anything I’ve ever done.”

Ghosts Are Gone. Gone! Stevie Nicks cut In Your Dreams track from setlist in Hershey

Stevie dropped "Ghosts Are Gone" from her setlist in Hershey, PA on July 3rd.... and didn't replace the song with another... Bit surprised she's dropped a song at this stage... Usually within the first couple of shows things may change, but when the setlist carried through to Holmdel and New York City after opening night in Jones Beach on June 29th, I figured it was safe to say this was going to be the setlist for her summer shows... Apparently not!

One poster had a lot to say about the Hershey show, the setlist... Stevie's new album... What she's playing on this tour.. but most importantly, what she ISN'T playing on this tour.. And I have to agree with them in terms of some of the song selections and the opening tune.... Check it out for yourself in the comments section...

Hershey, PA - Stevie Nicks Pics... Vids... and some Hershey Kisses!

And to the Anonymous poster that posted it... NO, I won't delete your post.  I think it's fair and constructive criticism, and you make some good points, one of which - She should have dropped Rock N Roll and opened the show with the title track from the CD "In Your Dreams"!  This track fits so perfectly to open the show... It's exactly the right tempo.  PLUS for the most part, you ALWAYS remember the first tune at any concert!  At least I do.   

Imagine this as the opening number...  Can you feel it?
