“Dedicated to Stevie”
Chrissie Hynde finishes a song dedicated to Stevie Nicks and adds that the following song is also dedicated to Nicks. Hynde goes on to share, that in fact, all of the songs are for Stevie.
“Welcome to Newark”
Nicks welcomes the audience to the show and explains that this will be different from the other concerts they may have been to. She states that we are about to go on a journey of stories and music from her vault of lost songs.
“Stop Dragging My Heart Around”
Nicks is joined on stage by Chrissie Hynde to duet “Stop Dragging My Heart Around” much to the delight of the audience.
“Waddy”
Waddy Wachtel plays the guitar during the concert. Wachtel has been with Nicks since he played on the “Buckingham Nicks” record (1973).
“Bella Donna”
Nicks shows off the “Bella Donna” cape which cost two thousand dollars when purchased. “If you divide two thousand dollars by thirty years it really is a good deal.”
“Moonlight”
Nicks was inspired to write the song “Moonlight (A Vampire’s Dream)” after she watched the movie Twilight. Nicks went on to create an entire album after she was inspired to write again.
“Fan”

“Stand Back”
After Nicks started to record the song to Prince’s music she called him to let him know what was going on. She said her mother always told her, “You can do a lot of things Stevie, but you can never lie.” Prince ended up coming to the studio to play on the track.
