Review: Stevie Nicks Niagara Falls, NY "Nice to see such sincere flashes of humility"

Buffalo News

NIAGARA FALLS – If one were to look only at the concert schedule for Saturday night in Niagara Falls and not at recent news of restoring waterfront access and attracting young professionals through an innovative program that pays off student loans, one might think the Cataract City is more passe than progressive.

Likewise, one might also equate the offering of Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks at Seneca Niagara Events Center with that of classic rockers The Guess Who at Hard Rock Cafe Niagara Falls at the other end of Old Falls Street; there is a profound difference, however, which Nicks stated in no uncertain terms before an adoring sold-out crowd made up mostly of baby boomers.

The 64-year-old Nicks and her eight-piece band paced their long set by bouncing back and forth between her considerable collection of hits from the ’70s and ’80s and more recent material, directly declaring her desire to create new material and avoid a “greatest hits” show. For the most part, this was well-received, although the show opened ominously – taking the stage with a tepid take on Led Zeppelin’s “Rock and Roll” that could’ve been topped by a common cover band playing at the casino bar, the fact that Nicks has lost a step was made plain, as she stood still instead of flashing any sight of her signature gypsy twirling, and her confident but staid contralto voice belied the wildness of Robert Plant’s pyrotechnics on the original.

Thankfully, this slow start was soon forgotten, as Nicks loosened up a bit with “Enchanted,”....

"This is not... I repeat, this is not a Stevie Nicks Greatest Hits Tour" - Stevie Nicks Detroit July 6th

STEVIE NICKS LIVE IN DETROIT

THE FOX THEATRE - JULY 6, 2012

Stevie opened her show last night in Detroit with Rock & Roll... Here's a clip Enchanted was next in the set after which Stevie welcomed everyone to the show and talked a little bit about the show and this tour.. Taken from the video below.. 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.
