FLEETWOOD MAC - ON WITH THE SHOW
-
So Fleetwood Mac members still have their chops? "Even better now," Randy said. Impressive
-
My bf is the world's biggest Stevie Nicks fan, and he loves all the Fleetwood Mac stuff, too. This recent tour seems to have a little extra zest, although Lindsay and Christine's voices are a far cry from what they used to be. For Stevie Nicks fans, though -- this tour is bad timing: Her latest album just hit the Top Ten, yet she's on the road doing yet another Fleetwood Mac tour.

Stevie Nicks' latest album just hit the top ten"--impressive, for a "vintage" artist. I read in RollingStone mag Marianne Faithfull's latest cd "Give My Love to London" garnered three and a half stars from them, and Leonard Cohen's latest album got four stars, I believe, and he's 80. Jackson Browne's new album also rated highly with them. All that should further inspire Macca. It's too bad "Lindsay and Christine's (singing) a far cry from how it used to be"--they must still be hitting the booze and ciggies all these years rather than try to preserve their "instrument."

I heard that Christine still sounds great - for a 71 year old. Lindsey's voice was going downhill during the Say You Will Tour, and that was 10 years ago.

Stevie Nicks graces the cover of the most recent "Rolling Stone" mag
Have gone through periods when I didn't like her singing voice much at all. Other times, her singing has a great real "rock" feel to me. Some of her songs seem rather special.

She's fantastic! A true rock icon. And look at that cover. She's 66 years young! I liked her comments about being in a relationship with nobody. I could relate to that.
As for performance, I'll just say, when the first chords of Rhiannon rang out through Honda Center, it was completely electrifying! As good a rock moment as you could have!
-
I have admired Stevie Nicks always, for so many different reasons. Here is another reason I admire her. She has regrets about her decisions and is not afraid to share her feelings:
-
My stepsister named her daughter after the song Rhiannon.
"Stevie" originates from the word Stephanos which means "A Crown"...She might just be the queen of the magical mystery tour.
-
I saw them in Fort Lauderdale in December as part of the On With the Show tour....fantastic, rounded out what was probably my favorite concert year in recent memory (started with Billy Joel in January 2014 and included James Taylor, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Morrissey in between). Stevie Nicks was amazing.

Stevie And Rhiannon Are Heavenly
-
I've been on and off with Fleetwood Mac. A friend of mine who is more of a blues and country man played early Mac records with Peter Green on guitar quite a lot when we were younger and used to sit and listen to records together more often. "Rumours" is a good pop album with some fantastic songs. Many catchy songs with the Buckinghman / Nicks version, although I might not play studio albums often. I've never seen Fleetwood Mac live, but I would like to, it's a legendary band, not sure if they have played in Norway. If they did, I missed it.

Dreams (1977):

Was watching some video of their March 28th Show #71 Kansas City Concert earlier. Very
Found this 1982 White Winged Dove Tour Final night performance of Stevie's It evolves into absolute perfection...
-
^^ nice Stevie Nicks concert. Rhiannon ( my favorite version 1976):
-
^ Listened to that twice...that's a good original one
-
I am in the process of watching a documentary about them on YouTube. Very interesting hearing about the relationship dynamics from the members. It's amazing that they were able to do what they did in the face of it.
-
A new book is out on Stevie Nicks. Stevie Nicks: Visions Dreams & Rumours by Zoë Howe. Actually I'd like to read Patti Smith's book (on Smith's rock n' roll life and times) even more than Stevie's. I wish Macca would update his autobio written by Barry Miles, continuing on from where they left off.
-
Stevie fell while dancing at the Seattle show I saw.
-
When Stevie recently told about her abortion and that it was Don Henley's baby, I felt that was TMI--do you agree? Such a sad intimate personal thing.
-
I was rather innocent about rock music back then...didn't think Fleetwood Mac took drugs (
), didn't think the Fabs had groupies...
