Last night I went to see the great Stevie Nicks in concert. As usual, she put on an amazing show. Over the years I have been to over 15 Stevie Nicks concerts, not to mention seeing her with Fleetwood Mac as well. Yes, I am a Stevie groupie. She has an extremely loyal fan base; women frequently attend concerts dressed like Stevie (long flowing dresses, high heeled boots, shawls, etc. I sat next to two British girls who looked like they could have been Stevie's backup singers! Stevie did not disappoint with the visual effects- showing off her trademark shawls, flowing dresses, capes, hats, feathers and lace, not to mention a great pair of really high heeled boots!
Stevie's voice was great, she opened up singing in a lower key than usual, as she warmed up, she transitioned over to her usual vocal range and she sounded almost as good as her first solo album, Bella Donna.
It was a night of mostly classic Stevie songs:
Stand Back- Dreams- If Anyone Falls- Rhiannon- Enchanted- Gold Dust Woman- I Need to Know- Landslide- Fall From Grace- Sorcerer--How Still My Love- - Edge of 17- Rock and Roll, and closed with Beauty and the Beast
Stevie enchanted the audience all night...
Below: Stevie always greets her fans, taking the time to move across the stage accepting flowers, teddy bears, and all sorts of things.
It was such a great show that I didn't even mind paying $40 for a Stevie t-shirt!
