MANSFIELD MANSFIELD - There was a lot of love at the Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts last night, and it was all aimed at Stevie Nicks.

The blonde performer, whose career hit the bigtime with legendary rock group Fleetwood Mac, knew how to entertain last night's sold out audience of 15,000.

Much of the audience was on its feet before Stevie walked out on stage and many remained standing, dancing or rocking with the performer through her 1:45 show.

The rock star last night performed many songs from her first album in more that three years, "The Other Side of the Mirror." They included "Alice," "Two Kinds of Love," and "Rooms on Fire."

She also performed many of her rock hits such as her Fleetwood Mac "Dreams."

Stevie moved very slowly around the stage while performing and did not seem to have the energy and pep of her backup singers and band.

Between songs, she would disappear behind the stage to put on a new hat or a new top to her basic black dress.

The performer has been known for her love of gauze and lace. Many women in the audience arrived at the show imitating Stevie's outfits.

She did not seem to realize she had such an adoring audience in front ofher until after several songs, stopping to say "thank you."

However at the end of her performance, she moved to the front of the stage and worked her way across the entire platform, smiling shaking hands and accepting flowers and stuffed animals from her fans.

Although her fans were with her all the way, they seemed to respond to "Whole Lotta Trouble" and "Two Kinds of Love," which she performed toward the end of her show.

At this point of show, Stevie also seemed to respond to the audience and looked as if she were enjoying herself.
