For Aussie ledgies, there is a story on Stevie coming up on Channel 7's Sunday Night program. Some info and photos are already up on the website (http://au.news.yahoo.com/sunday-night/features/article/-/10165718/stevie-nicks-settles-rumours/), but I expect a video and/or interview transcript will be up after the program has aired.

The blog (http://au.news.yahoo.com/sunday-night/blogs/article/-/10166029/alex-cullen-recollects-his-time-with-steve/) the reporter wrote about his experience with Stevie is very nice. I wasn't familiar with the bullet hole in the piano. :laugh:

absolutely awesome interview but they r never long enuff. not long finished watching it here in western australia - it was about 8 minutes long. she looked - as always - stunningly beautiful and we got 2 c a lot of her house particularly outside. she sang rhiannon and moonlight at the piano and there was a snippet of the moonlight video which i dont remember from the iyd promo but it was probably in that. also sang the first several lines of that first song she ever wrote when she was 15 or 16 or whatever just sitting in her chair - 'ive loved and ive losted and im sad but not blue' thru 2 'it was easy 2 see'. the interviewer asked her about her voice and she said that she likes it and the fact that she sounds like no1 else. when asked how she would describe it she said she thought she soudned like a gnome!!!! described her house as being like a big english cottage - its very green. she said that her memory was like a steel trap so she has many memories 2 draw from 4 her songwriting. the rest was mostly about drugs and the usual - didnt talk about dave and making in your dreams that i can remember which i think is suprising........need 2 go watch it again. the interviewer listed the backstage requests from the rumours tour here and when he said limes she thought he said lions and she said 'lions? YES'. also said the medieval marquee was english and therefor not her fault

there were the usual clips from the 70s of rhiannon go your own way and maybe dont stop plus the chain from the dance. i recorded it on vhs so cant do anything with it un4tunately but im sure it will turn up on youtube soon

i have tickets to the last 6 shows here in november and december but still yet 2 get the leave approved - i will go nuts if i dont

Never fear!

Some of the same ol' same ol', but also some interesting bits. Always love to see Stevie at the piano :thumbsup: And love her immediately denying responsibility for the medieval marquee - "well that's English" :laugh:

Thank you so much for posting so those of us not in Australia can see this. I loved this interview. I wish it would have went on for hours. She seems much more candid and accepting of her life and I really think her confidence level is where it probably was back during the FM heyday. A place it hasn't been for a long, long time.

You guys are going to have a blast at her shows in Oz. It's bittersweet that tonight is her last scheduled show here in the states.

There are a few things I love about this video:

- Seeing Stevie's pool.
- Hearing her sing "Moonlight" at the piano. Would love to hear the full version of this.
- She even hits the falsetto note at the end! Stevie, do that in concert!
- Hearing her sing a full verse or chorus of "I've Loved and I've Lost But I'm Sad But Not Blue." That's the most we've ever heard of that song, isn't it?

Thank you for posting!

Ok FWIW I totally love that interview! Moonlight on piano is beautiful and of course Rhiannon is amazing! I totally love how she just belted out her first song:lol:...unlike the interviews where she refused to sing it. She seemed totally relaxed in this interview. And I totally love her house!! It is absolutely so Stevie! I wonder if she ever uses her pool? I must say she doesn't seem to proud of all the stuff that she ordered with FM back in the 70s...although you could totally tell she was trying not to smile in some parts;)

Really good little package - although it's just soooooo depressing to be reminded that she's finishing up her US dates, and starting promo for Oz, and Europe can just go forth and multiply yet again, right? :distress:

Her home looks so beautiful, comfortable and finely decorated. I can't believe she didn't feel comfortable there and decamped to that modernist condo on the beach.
Also the bullet hole in the piano? I have to think that there is more to that story. Also I wonder if she still has the Gershwin piano?

I dunno. That's a lotta house for a single gal. Might just keep reminding you of that, too. And I love her condo, what I've seen of it anyway. I think I'd totally do the same, in her position, but we're all different.

I'm sure the view in Santa Monica is incredible. And yes, the Palisades house is big. She did say she was thinking of remodeling her bedroom. I tend to think that she has various friends and family members staying with her at times.

^^ Unfortinately they don't show the song in full, only edited clips. But it's still stunning.

Also, I'm not really sure what a gnome-like voice is, but I guess it's Stevie's. Lol!

Edit: Does anyone have a way they could download it and send it to me? I'd be forever grateful and indebted to your service, lol. I want to see this so bad, and it's just not working with my internet connection for some reason.. I've tried three different computers...

thank you for posting to youtube!!!

i find myself completely entranced by her at the acoustic piano..breathtaking and beautiful. makes me wish we had complete versions as well. we can dream can't we.. ;)

her house is gorgeous, i'm now fascinated and want to visit! and i found myself cracking up at the entire backstage requests piece.

without prompting, "there was probably like a ton of cocaine.."
*reporter laughing and saying yes"
followed by full on eye roll, side glance and nodding, "..yeah.." along with biting her lip haha.

here's to hoping we get the full 1 1/2 rumored footage of recording they did :blob2:

It's in the interviewers blog. He says there is a bullet hole complete with bullet lodged in one of the pianos sustained when someone took a shot at the moving truck. :shocked:

09-05-2011, 01:05 AM

^ I read that too. Why on earth would someone be shooting at the moving truck? That's such a weird story, and for it to just like.. have no explanation, haha. "Oh yeah, someone shot at it when we were moving. But now it has character."

Her singing Moonlight at the piano makes me want her to play it like that live.

As do I but I especially wish that she would record an album with only her vocal and piano accompaniment. Perhaps, when she "slows down", that will happen.

I know it would never happen, but that was really awesome and she was so into it.

Did you ever see her on VH1's Storytellers? She played Rhiannon on piano live. Don't be so certain that it won't ever happen. It's possible. :)

It reminded me so much of her piano demos from the Bella Donna era. I wonder if any Lady From The Mountains/Moonlight demos were recorded during the In Your Dreams sessions.

I've seen it. I just mean, I don't think she'd ever put something like that in her usual concert set list, ya know? I wish though!

I would love to hear some demos from the IYD sessions. Especially the SA demo. I want to see what it started out like as her original demo and then some of the stuff her gang did with it, to compare with how it ended up with Lindsey arranging it.

Love this Australian (Sunday Night) video! Thanks so much for posting it!:xoxo:
This is the sort of interview that she deserved to get on the O show (except longer)!! An at home visit and more in-depth interview - She has always deserved that, but unfortunately or perhaps fortunately ;) O was never a champion of Stevie Nicks/FM. Besides the fact that Stevie tends to be more receptive to male interviewees in general. Jim Ladd is probably my favorite out of anyone. She has really spilled to him over the decades! Her RAL interview with him is candid, very very spontaneous and funny as you might imagine.

I love the part where she talks about singing into her 70's............ I still remember that interview from many years ago where she said she would retire at 32. What a sad day that would have been :( .......... As long as Stevie is singing, then the world will keep spinning happily...... if she is 80 singing beautiful poetry, I will be there in ........waiting to buy it CD, MP3 Pill, or whatever in the hell it will be by then.

Maybe some program they put in my body that allows you to hear music....when ever you want.... LOL. :) Geez.....when I was a little kid I thought Cassettes were the coolest..... "wow, no scratchie noise like records....". OK Babble is done for now....
