Anyway, I don't want this to come across as if I'm picking on Stevie because of her age. I am not at all. If she's having a problem moving around on stage, I would have no problem with her standing at the microphone the entire night and REALLY singing out her songs. But she couldn't even do that either. She lacked passion, focus, and enthusiasm. She was clearly out of pace with the rest of the band and honestly, they deserved much better than that. Lindsey's performance was excellent. Sure, his vocals weren't exactly perfect either, but at least he belted them out with passion and energy and played his butt off on the guitar. I would expect nothing less from him and he certainly delivered. Same for John and Mick. All three of them are professional musicians and they performed beautifully. They were all "in the moment", except unfortunately for their front woman who was clearly on some other planet. Last edited by TheScoop; 03-02-2009 at 10:34 PM.. |

I thought Stevie's Soundstage was exceptionally good. I can also testify that the performances on her last two solo tours were inspiring and totally enjoyable, to me. Stevie Nicks will leave that stage when she's damn well ready to. I don't think it's going to happen any time soon! |

I'll be the first to say, that an (obviously) bogus setlist, and bombastic claims made this guy pretty weak in the "esteem" department. But I do have to say that Stevie was a tad weak last night. The lack of effort in Landslide (how CAN you almost miss a cue when it's just you and the guitarist?), the Dreams almost putting me to sleep, etc. But all that's perfectly normal for an opening night...I guess. Just because LB is on the top of his game doesnt mean Stevie's slumming it. I'm sure she'll hit her stride in the next couple shows.

I seem to recall reading in a couple interviews somewhere with Stevie commenting she's now more reserved when performing with FM than when she's performing solo. And if there is a back-story to any drama going on it's possible we'll hear about it when the tour is all over ala SYW tour. I saw a picture on another thread from a Flickr spread where Stevie's standing in the shadows with a lovely smile and that smile looks real to me. I'm not sure at what point of the show that picture was taken and I'm willing to remain looking forward to seeing them perform when they're in my neck of the woods. I just hope these entertainers pace themselves and keep their health/energy rockin so they can maybe extend the tour to our friends overseas who I've heard truly want to see them again also.

Why are there so many audio problems? There's a sound crew whose job is to make sure everything goes smoothly night after night. Problems occur from time to time to everyone, but is it my imagination or are there far more problems affecting Fleetwood Mac every year they go out?
And that in-ear monitor business Stevie is hooked up to is insane. In all the Mac & solo videos recently, she is constantly fiddling with it. I saw Mac in Anaheim in 2003 & she was fiddling with the damn thing much of the night. She was fiddling with it here in 2001 on her solo tour, too. What on earth is up with it? Obviously, the dumb thing doesn't work well, or doesn't fit her ear well, or something. It's like watching a teenager play with her cell phone in the mall. It's ridiculous for Nicks to be onstage performing & reaching for the device on her hip 300 times a night (unless that's how it's designed to be used?). Could the problem be with her & not the device? Is she losing her hearing? It's not unheard of for rock stars to lose their hearing in old age. |

I didn't get to see Stevie on the '05 tour, and when I saw her in '06 she wore boots. It definitely sounds like that would make them look better. Does anyone have a good pic?

And in regards to the reported lack of passionate interaction with Lindsey, I'm wondering if she is starting to feel, within herself, that there is a respect issue now that Lindsey is married with kids. Especially now that the kids are getting older. What should LB say to Will if he comes offstage and says, "Daddy, how come you look at Stevie the same way you look at Mommy?". Maybe some parents can weigh in, since I don't have kids of my own. |

You don't want to be sooooooo 'professional' in rock 'n' roll that you lose emotional and spontaneous moments like this!!! That's what it's all about.......
