Sound City Players on Letterman

[WildHearted]

Grohl and the Sound City Players, along with Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks, will make their network television debut on the February 14th episode of The Late Show with David Letterman. Letterman has never hid his love for Grohl’s music even recruiting the Foo Fighters to play Everlong on his first show back after heart surgery, referring to it as “my favorite band playing my favorite song.

Grohl and the Sound City Players, along with Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks

Nice call-out! :)

[olive]

Letterman
loves her!

[Josh2003]

Oooh...I wonder what they'll play?

My guess is maybe "Stop Draggin..." as it is relatively well-known, and will feature both Stevie and Dave singing.

[diane_k]

Maybe the producers will allow a longer segment for music and let them rock out GDW? One can dream...

[Sanne2]

I hope they'll do You Can't Fix This

[olive]

maybe they'll do one of these

What night will this happen.

[WildHearted]

What night will this happen.

February 14th, I'm assuming?

[vivfox]

This is taking more time away from the Fleetwood Mac GYOW tour rehearsals...

[APerfectLie]

This is taking more time away from the Fleetwood Mac GYOW tour rehearsals...

That's why this tour is different. Instead of Stevie not being present in the studio, Stevie won't even be present in rehearsals this time around! ;) But maybe the show won't seem so rehearsed and robotic.

[Macfanforever]

February 14th, I'm assuming?

Thanks.Wow on Valentines day .

[bombaysaffires]

I hope they'll do You Can't Fix This

me too. we've heard the other songs more than enough times. i would think the whole point would be to promote the Sound City project and get people excited enough to buy that album.

With that type of reasoning Stevie surely might sing Stand Back! ROTFL:]

[soul_drifter333]

Hey, we're talking Stevie here! She went on Ellen and performed Stand Back to promote In Your Dreams instead of Secret Love. :shrug:

[Macfanforever]

Sunday nights Grammys was ruined do to the cancellation crap on screen and the news interruptions. I hope there wont be another storm around to screw up David Letterman's show when this airs.

[StevieNicksfann]

Hey, we're talking Stevie here! She went on Ellen and performed Stand Back to promote In Your Dreams instead of Secret Love. :shrug:

She went on Ellen and did Secret Love - with Pneumonia

[Phoenix]

She went on Ellen and did Secret Love - with Pneumonia

:nod::thumbsup:

[soul_drifter333]

She went on Ellen and did Secret Love - with Pneumonia

This is the performance that I am talking about. I remember it well, IYD was finished and a perfect time to promote the new single before the CD came out and instead she performs Stand Back (again) . After 10 years of waiting you would think that she would want to promote her new CD and not a song that came out on 1983! Just say'n :sorry:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlaM3HfScuM

[Johnny Stew]

It was said at the time that Ellen specifically requested Stevie perform "Stand Back," and she was invited back to perform "Secret Love" as a thank you when the album was released.

[WildHearted]

Yep, apparently Stand Back is one of Ellen's favorite songs. She wanted Stevie to sing it.

[Jondalar]

Please do not do Landslide. I"m going to vomit if she does.

[WildHearted]

Please do not do Landslide. I"m going to vomit if she does.

It would be pointless to bring all of the Sound City players to Letterman for a song that would mostly be just her and Dave. I really don't even think Landslide is a possibility.

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Hawkeye]

my money is on SDMHA since it would feature both Stevie and Dave and vocals. or maybe well get YCFT since they would be promoting that soundtrack.

[Aussie W/Heart]

Fingers crossed, they sing You Cant Fix This:thumbsup: The world needs to hear this incredible new song.

[Bandon]

Or maybe both. :thumbsup:

[MikeInNV]

Yes, and that appearance was really to promote the Rod/Stevie tour. Rod did one of his greatest hits on the same show. Promotion for IYD would come later.

[Phil]

It will have to be a performance of "You Can't Fix This", it wouldn't make sense to do anything but this track. Let's just hope she has given the lyrics a last minute overhaul and that she doesn't wear those horrific sunglasses. She'll be in a studio and properly lit so there's no excuse for the shades.

I doubt the lyrics will be changed considering they've already recorded this song in the studio.

And I'm not sure, and this is all hypothetical, but I think the reason she is wearing the glasses on stage lately is because at some shows she uses a teleprompter for lyrics - her vision may have worsened in the past few years making it more difficult to read without them.

Either that or she just likes the glasses. She was wearing them indoors at parties and stuff too.

[Phil]

Let's hope you're correct regarding the glasses - that way, if she ditches them, we'll be spared their ugliness and she may have to make up new lyrics on the spot...

[michelej1]

LOL. John Stewart told a story about Stevie not being able to see. I can't remember what he said. I think that they just pushed her to the mic when it was her turn to sing.

Michele

[diamondsnake]

I'm at the rehearsal now. She is performing YCFT. She is sick with a cold and it is causing all kinds of drama. She is contemplating wearing her sunglasses for performance. Must turn phone off now! :)

I THOUGHT I heard a cold in her voice watching the NY Soundstage concert footage.

[Macfanforever]

I hope she backs off on this extra work .I don't want her to get sick and all exhausted before the FM tour starts.She end up blowing dates and canceling shows.

We seen this happen with her IYD release when she went on the H&S tour with Rod.

My guess is she's using them as a way to mask signs of aging.

[Angel69]

I THOUGHT I heard a cold in her voice watching the NY Soundstage concert footage.

She def sounded like she had a cold at Hammerstein Wednesday night. It was quite evident in her speaking voice. The weather after the show was wet, cold and damp. Im sure that didnt help matters.

[jkmaletic]

Poor Stevie. :(

I hope she gets well soon and gets lots of rest after this Letterman gig.

[sleepless child]

I hope this doesn't ruin the performance. I am so looking forward to this. She never gets a break. Pneumonia when In Your Dreams first came out and she got sick on the TISL tour. Stevie is tough. I know she will pull out all the stops for TV. I was really hopeing for Gold Dust Woman though.

That band def rings her bell....seeing her with them is like seeing a whole different, revived Stevie, even when she isn't feeling 100%. That Krist Novoselic is a kick ass bass player! At last nights Hammerstein show there were 3 diff drummers including dave Grohl all of which were equally as powerful! I hate to say this but Stevie needs to change it up a bit with her touring band.

[SpyNote]

So the taping is done. I wonder if she did YCFT. Probably. I noticed there was someone playing violin in the promo pic that the Late Show just posted.

She looks fabulous

[redbird]

Fabulous and fierce, I love the ensemble.

[dreamer78]

Love the Pic- I love how she sounds with Dave Grohl -the songs are really rocking!!!
Gold Dust Woman is the best I heard in years-
Is there anyway someone could post a download of the set from Hollywood 1/31
My utube converter is not working :(


Again Love u guys:):angel:

[Lilyfan]

Fabulous and fierce, I love the ensemble.

Yeah, I do too. I like when she wears pants. I would like to see it in the burgundy that she likes as well. :nod:

Just a weird thought - Dave Grohl is what I imagine a child would look like if Stevie and Dave Stewart had a baby together back in the day. I know, I'm strange. These thoughts just come from nowhere and I am powerless to stop them :shrug:

[michelej1]

She looks fabulous

That's a hot photo.

Michele

[Jondalar]

well how did she sound

[Macfanforever]

It looks like that CBS does post the Letterman shows online to watch if you missed it.

http://www.cbs.com/shows/late_show/


I will record the show like I always do with Stevie's TV appearances and post a link later.

[britt0308]

damn. she looks good! the intense gaze and the pants..it's working for her more than the same skirts IMO.

[SummerlongBoots]

My guess is she's using them as a way to mask signs of aging.

Maybe it's because of her eye issue.



Stevie Nicks’ “Sorrowful Disease”

The queen of rock ‘n’ roll, Stevie Nicks, has a medical problem that's making her feel less than majestic.
“Why is my one eye always watering?” Stevie asks. “I call it ‘the sorrowful disease,’ because people always ask me if I’m sad.

“It’s bugging me to death!” she adds.

Dr. Lisa explains that tearing is a normal bodily function. Every time you blink, you wash your eyes out with tears produced by the lachrymal glands in your upper eyelids.

Excessive tearing may signal underlying health conditions such as dry-eye syndrome, allergies or a blocked tear duct.
Dr. Lisa recommends that Stevie check with her optometrist, and shares tips for relieving symptoms:
• Use artificial tears or over-the-counter eye drops to lubricate dry eyes.
• Increase humidity in your home with a humidifier or by boiling a pot of water.
• Drink plenty of water to maintain healthy tearing.

[Macfanforever]

Dave himself talking about the docu now.Stevie is not up yet.

[Johnny Stew]

Letterman is talking to Dave Grohl right now. Grohl's mention of Stevie & Lindsey meeting Mick at Sound City and joining Fleetwood Mac, got a great response from the audience.

[Johnny Stew]

Ooops, we were posting at the same time, Skip. I've been doing that a lot lately -- just ask Elle! lol

[Johnny Stew]

It was obvious that she has a cold, but I'd say she knocked it out of the ballpark. Very moving & effective performance -- she definitely gave it her all.
I think fans will be thrilled when they see it.

[HejiraNYC]

Mama has a cold, but she kicked major A$$ tonight. I'm proud of her.

[britt0308]

S**T I really think she nailed this performance. Cold and all! Really!

So pleased, with the reaction from her and Dave/the audience. She looked comfortable and performance wise was really into it/energized.

Spoke briefly with Dave L. following the performance. Short and sweet. :thumbsup::D

[Macfanforever]

Ooops, we were posting at the same time, Skip. I've been doing that a lot lately -- just ask Elle! lol

No problem Stew.

[Amlyn]

Mama has a cold, but she kicked major A$$ tonight. I'm proud of her.

My sentiments exactly!

[Nolastorms]

Great performance and the song is really growing on me. She must really care for this movie and song to be promoting it so much. Very awesome she is even performing YCFT in the live shows and especially on Letterman!

[sodascouts]

Cold? What cold?

She rocked!

[SummerlongBoots]

That was great! She sounded damn good considering she has a cold!

I also love listening to Dave Grohol. He's so down to earth.

AND -- I LOVE that Letterman LOVES Stevie! http://www.ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/images/icons/heart.gif

[elle]

Great performance and the song is really growing on me.

yup, i even thought that was pretty good. :D her voice actually sounded better b/c of the cold.

and CAD will be extremely happy that she mentioned BN album but Letterman didn't get the hint and went into rambling about rhiannon instead ;)

[Johnny Stew]

Cold? What cold?

She rocked!

I love this post. :)

And she sure did!

[britt0308]

Really so happy for all the love! And it *does* show she cares about the doc, and cause in general to be supporting Dave with all of this.

Anyone catch what Letterman said to her after about the Rhiannon similarity? At first I thought he was comparing the backing track of YCFT to Rhiannon..like how we compared it to bits of GDW and SDMHA. But then Stevie replied with "yeah 17 min" and everyone laughed.

Re: ppl who have seen the doc: is this mentioned? The original demo of Rhiannon was like a Sara at 16+???

[redtulip]

yup, i even thought that was pretty good. :D her voice actually sounded better b/c of the cold.

and CAD will be extremely happy that she mentioned BN album but Letterman didn't get the hint and went into rambling about rhiannon instead ;)


Didn't she have a cold when she recorded Dreams? Maybe the cold helps her sound better?

[CADreaming]

yup, i even thought that was pretty good. :D her voice actually sounded better b/c of the cold.

and CAD will be extremely happy that she mentioned BN album but Letterman didn't get the hint and went into rambling about rhiannon instead ;)

I was very happy about that! She's plugging it. Go girl!

Yeah, Dave skated over it. But, it's ok.

[fairydust75]

Mama looked and sounded great. I really hope she gets her buns back to LA, so she can dish with Christine when she comes over from the islands. My wish is for her to stay healthy and enjoys her time with The Mac.

[Johnny Stew]

yup, i even thought that was pretty good. :D her voice actually sounded better b/c of the cold.

You'll be a convert yet, Elle. Stevie works her magic slowly & subtly, until you wake up one morning and realize that you even love "Docklands." ;)

[Phoenix]

SHE ROCKED IT! THE PASSION THE MYSTERY. IT WAS STEVIE NICKS!! AS WE KNOW SHE CAN BE! IM SO PROUD TO BE A FAN! THIS WOMAN ONCE AGAIN PROVED SHES THE REAL DEAL. SHE'S THE LEGEND PEOPLE SAY SHE IS!! WELL DONE! GO STEVIE!:blob2::]:thumbsup:

[J.Miller]

This band along with Stevie are really getting tight. Waddy Wachtel and Fleetwood Mac take note.

[Phil]

Stevie works her magic slowly & subtly, until you wake up one morning and realize that you even love "Docklands."

Johnny, as much as I truly adore Stevie, I don't imagine this ever occurring for me!

[britt0308]

Youtube full performance!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxwNmbD2g4Q

EDIT: it's slowed down :/ Oh well..until it's posted on the CBS site..this is a great clip from the doc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA6Diy0nYrA

[redbird]

She looked like she had a great time, which is often the key with Stevie. I liked the song more hearing it this time than I did with the initial live performance video that came out.

Thank You Skip :thumbsup: Stevie looks & sounds fantastic, i love her super hot outfit:thumbsup: so much more stylish & younger looking.. YCFT Rocks!!!

[jkmaletic]

Man, that was awesome. What a trooper Stevie is. She nailed it. As someone else here said, best tv performance from her in awhile. She didn't seem nervous. She usually is for tv stuff.

That's my Stevie!! Very proud of her. :nod:

[Machu]

That was definately one of her best TV performances. She did great!

[HejiraNYC]

I think, as Stevie fans, we've become enured to this whole "Sound City" project and the strange bedfellows she has been working with recently; it's like the new normal. But when you take a few steps back from what she's been doing... it is beyond surreal. If someone said ten years ago that Stevie would be recording and touring with the Foo Fighters in 2013, I would have laughed it off as one of those ain't ever gonna happen things. And she is like Switzerland in the Dave Grohl vs. Courtney Love war. Twenty years ago I would have never connected the dots between Nirvana and Stevie. How weird is all of this??

[kak125]

ahh just watched the video! it was freaking amazing. go stevie!! this song is so catchy i cant get it out of my head. i cant wait to be able to buy the song.

[mitzo]

It really is great, you can't help but get drawn into the song and the performance and the story. I hope she is as good on the new FM album LOL.

[Phil]

Diamondsnake, was there truly drama at the rehearsal or were you just joking? I'm curious...

[elle]

thank you!

i've been reading comments here and thinking along very similar lines.

the whole Sound City project is practically one big avertisement for specifically FM, BN, Rick Springfield and Nirvana (not that Nirvana needs it!) and is bringing great attention to FM and SN. whatever your opinion of him, Dave Grohl is still relevant and well known. when in the movie someone said that Nevermind making it big was like Fleetwood Mac all over again, that sounded so good, as a great complement to FM! :thumbsup:

so i don't get these "Stevie is so supportive of Grohl and the whole project" comments - why wouldn't she be - it's bringing her, BN and FM to at least some new audiences. Grohl talked yesterday on Letterman about Stevie and Lindsey joining the Mac and when he mentioned FM people were cheering. it's basically Grohl supporting SN and FM, not the other way around (although sure, it works both ways). this is a great advertisement for an upcoming FM tour.

and, if FM finally releases some of those new tracks before the start of the tour, they may be able to get Letterman appearance too.

[bombaysaffires]

awesome clip. She realllly had a cold and she killed it. Dave (Grohl) really listened to her old Mac work and worked that vibe into the whole arrangement.

Wonder how Mick and Lindsey feel about her not wanting to do new stuff with them.

[CADreaming]

Man, that was awesome. What a trooper Stevie is. She nailed it. As someone else here said, best tv performance from her in awhile. She didn't seem nervous. She usually is for tv stuff.

That's my Stevie!! Very proud of her. :nod:

I noticed that too. Very confident. Loved it & made me feel this song finally!

[Macfanforever]

I'm glad Stevie had a blast when she was under the weather.

One problem was the overdriven guitars were over riding her voice and it was hard to hear her voice.

I enjoyed Dave G's interview.I agree what he said about today' s recordings with the artists using Autotune.Its not real.

Personally Its like athletes using steroids.

[Macfanforever]

Thank You Skip :thumbsup: Stevie looks & sounds fantastic, i love her super hot outfit:thumbsup: so much more stylish & younger looking.. YCFT Rocks!!!

No problem. It was downloaded 97 times already.

[wheart]

OK...I just gotta say I was blown away by Stevie's performance...she totally brought it! It reminded a lot of the Stevie of yesteryear...passionate, confident, sexy, inspired, driven...I loved it and the song is certaintly growing on me!!!:blob2:

[WildHearted]

This was a great performance. She looked and sounded amazing, and seemed to really be having a food time. I agre with those who said she looked comfortable and not as nervous as she tends to seem in televised performances.

Fantastic. Hope this sort of energy carries Over to the tour.

[SummerlongBoots]

I think Stevie - and the planets of the universe - have aligned exactly where they are supposed to be and allowed her to find her true self again.

She needed to get back to her rock roots and just have fun making music again. Her incredible confidence on stage might be a reflection of this new, rejuvenated, creativity spurt. :nod:

I heard David Grohl on a podcast (I think the host was Marc Maron) and he talked extensively about Buckingham Nicks on that show. And you know that I am into the Grizzly Bear Egg Cafe and to them (Mike Quackenbush and Clayton Morris) the emphasis Grohl's Sound City put on Buckingham Nicks was very important. They talked about it in their podcast. So, this has all been good publicity for Fleetwood Mac in general.

In fact, everything is converging (Christine talk, etc.) to keep FM constantly in the news for one reason or another. Hope they ride this train right into the tour.

Michele

[mottabam]

I thought the performance was absolutely Fantastic!:thumbsup: Loved the intensity. She sounded great and the band was tight. Great Job.

[Christopher]

Stevie was urgently in need of a strong TV performance. Many of her IYD (& TISL for that matter) TV performances fell flat (except EO17 on America's Got Talent) but that was an oldie. Stevie never sold "Secret Love", and FWIW, while a great song, just came off too nice, not wow, what was that! And I'm not even 100% in love with YCFT, but Stevie sold it to me last night!

After watching last night, it became more clear that Stevie would serve herself better if she did more rockers to sell herself & her music. The "Secret Love's" & "Everyday's" need to stay in the background. And while she's at it, she may want to consider getting a younger & tighter rock band. I loved when Waddy came back for TISL after being gone for 15 years, but I'm beginning to think Stevie should consider getting a new band & band director if & when she decides to record & tour solo again.

[WildHearted]

Didn't she have a cold when she recorded Dreams? Maybe the cold helps her sound better?

I feel like Stevie perpetually has colds.

[michelej1]

I feel like Stevie perpetually has colds.

I know in the old days, Christine said that about Stevie: that she was always sick and curlec up and had a sweater and some tea or something. Michele

[StevieNicksfann]

I've been saying for a while that the powers that be have forgotten how to market Stevie and how she was first presented to us as a solo act - a straight forward rocker. For those reasons, Every Day and Secret Love (and even Rooms On Fire, and Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind) were not ideal choices for singles. Fall From Grace, Ghosts Are Gone, Listen To The Rain, and Long Way To Go were huge missed opportunities to lead off with a rocking first single and keep Stevie's confidence (imho) intact or at least less unstable.

[Jondalar]

That was a good performance!

[DashingDan]

I feel like Stevie perpetually has colds.

She's a delicate flower with a hole in her nose. Not a good combination. Poor thing probably has had the same headcold since 1988.

[Jondalar]

That was great! She sounded damn good considering she has a cold!

I also love listening to Dave Grohol. He's so down to earth.

AND -- I LOVE that Letterman LOVES Stevie! http://www.ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/images/icons/heart.gif

I actually think she sounds better with a cold. It adds another depth.

The "Secret Love's" & "Everyday's" need to stay in the background. And while she's at it, she may want to consider getting a younger & tighter rock band. I loved when Waddy came back for TISL after being gone for 15 years, but I'm beginning to think Stevie should consider getting a new band & band director if & when she decides to record & tour solo again.


I was thinking the same thing regarding the band. Waddy is great and there is no denying that....but she def needs to freshen things up a bit. The rest of her band is good also....just at this point I think too familiar to her, and they dont seem to be pushing her buttons so to speak. GDW was amazing at Hammerstein as was SDMHA and hell even Landslide felt refreshed! Hats off to Stevie! Even with the remnants of the bug thats bugging her....she nailed it! :angel: Imaine what that band could do with Fall From Grace....Rhiannon....EO17.....No Spoken Word and many others!

Diamondsnake, was there truly drama at the rehearsal or were you just joking? I'm curious...

I was there for the rehearsal, and Stevie came out and did not look that great. They did the song once, and then we all clapped and they were chit chatting. Stevie then came up to the microphone and said "I have almost no voice, and I am two seconds away from the flu". Then the stage manager was like: "what can we do?"

Stevie Stevie asked them to adjust the earpiece she had. She then started begging to wear her sunglasses. "I have really good sunglasses!" She said she needed to see the screen since it was a new song. I guess they decided she shouldn't wear them. They did the song again, Stevie said she needed to rest, and then they dissapeared.

The actual performance was 100 times better than the rehearsal! I think she must have just psyched herself up for the five minute song. She rocked!!! I was so proud of her!

[dreamer78]

anyone have an audio rip of letterman and / or 1/31 /13 show

[Phil]

Thanks Diamondsnake, I was interested to read that. She certainly rose to the occasion come curtain time.

Interesting behind the scenes tidbits! Thanks for that. :)

Now rest up, Stevie!

[sleepless child]

I really like this song. The music is has a great driving beat. Wonderful segment with Dave Grohl. I can't wait to see this documentary. Stevie looked and sounded great.

[michelej1]

This is a quote from Christine about Stevie, from 1976:

Onstage she's the goddess of whatever, but offstage she's very often like a little old lady with a cold or a sore throat. Yet she's amazing..she can feel like **** before she goes onstage but then she goes out there and pulls out the stops.

When I first watched it, I thought maybe she forgot the lines when she left out a verse, but I'm assuming they rehearsed it that way to shorten the song for the show?

[Bandon]

YCFT is obviously the song that is being promoted for the LP. I am trying to figure out how this factors into FM releasing new material in the near future. In the past, Stevie would maybe have a song on a soundtrack just prior to a new LP, but it wasn't the lead track. I really like YCFT, but hope it does not detract from the new FM and vice versa. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect any of the releases to skyrocket to the top of the music charts. However, that would be very cool. :nod:

[Musicman408]

Yeah, I love the current band, but MAN, everything could use some refreshing. Everything sounds THE SAME!!!

[Macfanforever]

I agree on the refreshing but the band to me is alittle hard on the ears.

My link only links to CBS list of shows, but from there it is easy to find Stevie's appearance on Letterman .

Maybe Lindsey should suggest they go record at Grohls studio and use the old board.

[Jondalar]

Did Stevie lose weight? She looks better than she did in Trouble In Shangri La days. She looked awesome on David Letterman. No one would ever guess her age. She has taken good care of herself in her later years. And that outfight looks great on her.

Thanks. I've been wanting to watch this over the last few days. Here's a more direct link to the clip.

I thought it was a real powerful performance. She looks good here and works very well with Dave Grohl and The Sound City Players. :thumbsup:

[michelej1]

I haven't seen Lori since IYD came out at the Wiltern. She looks older since then.

Sharon, on the other hand, never seems to age. She looks like wax.

[DestinyRules]

Hey, we're talking Stevie here! She went on Ellen and performed Stand Back to promote In Your Dreams instead of Secret Love. :shrug:

Because Ellen ASKED her to. She was like, "Stand Back AGAIN?!"

[Fireflies]

I haven't seen Lori since IYD came out at the Wiltern. She looks older since then.

i think her position on stage was lit poorly. she looked pink on my tv!

[Regina]

That's one long song. Not a favorite.

[Macfanforever]

TV cameras do strange things to peoples looks.I've met and seen artists and TV news people in person and they look different.

Really?? This amazes me that an artist of her stature would have to beg for anything. She should just channel her inner Diva (think, Diana Ross, Mariah Carey, Madonna etc) and say "I need/want my glasses and I'm wearing them and find a way to make this work for me". Yikes. The woman is 64 years old and a legend. Why is she begging for anything?? grrr

While they were at it they should of asked her to re enact the cover of the Buckingham Nicks album.

[vivfox]

No problem. It was downloaded 97 times already.

Make that 98. I just downloaded it too.

[vivfox]

The second she started singing I could tell she had a cold yet that didn't stop her from nailing it. She sounded fantastic and the band was awesome. I wish she would ditch all her slow songs for a tour or two and show the world the true rock and roll singer she was born to be.

[Nathan]

Awesome performance, I thought. I liked the Secret Love dancing.

And the interaction with Dave at the end.

[Ghost_Tracker]

Believe me, don't believe me, it's all good -

I came across the line "She twirls around and starts to laugh" a few years back, on the Internet, under a pseudonym that looked "hauntingly familiar." ;) I thought it was a wonderful poem and thought it had potential to become a great song. My memory is *VERY* hazy on this, it may have been allpoetry.com but I haven't bothered to search for it because it seems very unlikely that I'll be able to re-find it at this point.

(And so yes, it was "she" instead of "he" at that point. That I'm reasonably clear on in my memory.)

I believe this song also has some elements of "Stay Away" in it. That's a wonderful unpublished song that can be found on Nancy's great site. (buckinghamnicks.net.)

I very much wish that one would be released as a song, as it is, because I think it has potential to be one of her best. imo it's incredibly deep. :)

Rock on!

[Jondalar]

are Stevie's furs fake?

[cliffdweller]

Cold? What cold?

She rocked!

Yep. She was amazing. :thumbsup:

[Macfanforever]

Thanks Viv.Wow its now up to 216 downloads and got a few thanks.

I have watched it 3 times today. And I have blasted it. Tomorrow I have new neighbor's moving into the apt. next door so tonight it is all about LOUD music. Rock on GDW.

Hahahaha.I'm glad that you are enjoying it .Viv.I hope you don't have any problems with the neighbors complaining of loud music.I hope they like Stevie Nicks and FM music.LOL..

[vivfox]

I never play loud music when the neighbor's are home. It's when they are NOT home that Stevie can rock!

[Fireflies]

are Stevie's furs fake?

definitely real.

[Macfanforever]

I never play loud music when the neighbor's are home. It's when they are NOT home that Stevie can rock!

Oh I wish I had you for a neighbor when I had my apartment.Those idiots that I had for neighbors played their crap loud 24/7 .I had the cops there many times.

I'm glad its quite here except a barking dog once in a while.

[vivfox]

I'm glad its quite here except a barking dog once in a while.


That sound is more annoying to me than any other outside noise. All dogs should be debarked. It should be an enforceable law.

[Hawkeye]

Watched is Thursday. Have been away since. Time to comment. To echo many others, this was her best TV performance of a new song since Fall From Grace in 2001. By a long shot is a huge understatement. Not to lesson the greatness of this letterman performance but it's almost equally sad how she's gone 12 years shooting her self in the foot with lousy to mediocre TV performances with her new songs. And I'm lumping fleetwood Mac in here over all 2003. Really can any of us say if we weren't ALREADY huge fans of this woman would we be sold in any way from seeing Everyday, say you will, secret love, for what it's worth or even sorcerer which has been done really well at her comcerts but never on TV.

But You can't fix this was finally a complete 180. We got to see peak stevie on TV for a change.

[diane_k]

That sound is more annoying to me than any other outside noise. All dogs should be debarked. It should be an enforceable law.

Or just get earplugs.

I think Bob Barker will be upset if the owners debark their dogs.

They are more quiet now since I filed a complaint with the dog warden last summer.
If it keeps up they will receive a barking ticket.So far the dogs are quiet now.

[Macfanforever]

So far as I think.Back off on the loud guitars.I want to hear Stevie's voice rocking out not the noise from the guitars.

Sorry guys.

SOUND CITY - REAL TO REEL Various
(Sony) 3.5 stars Album review: Sound City - Real to Reel


JAMES BELFIELD

The only way that Stevie Nicks and Rick Springfield were ever going to get into this coolest-of-the-cool rockers nightclub was if Dave Grohl was the doorman.

But the Foo Fighter's got an open door policy when it comes to the classics and his movie directorial debut is centred around the epic LA studio which laid down warts-and-all albums by the likes of Fleetwood Mac and the big Jessie's Girl Aussie artist.

This soundtrack is a swaggering rock-hits radio playlist of an album featuring legends as varied as Paul McCartney (who provides the best bits), Josh Homme, Trent Reznor and the Black Motorcycle Rebels.

In trying to cover so much ground it does come a little unhinged, but it's a tub-thumping reminder of a time when cutting an album meant making glorious mistakes as well as blistering ball-tearers.
