I bet the setlist stays the sane, which I'm totally fine with. As long as she doesn't drop any songs!

[SpyNote]

I hope so! But I'm thinking one song might get dropped.

[Moz]

Is anyone else watching it on Periscope?

[SpyNote]

Of course. This Cara person is incredible. :woohoo:

[Moz]

Can we sponsor her to travel to all the shows? :laugh:

[Danielle]

I'm not watching on periscope but I do have a friend streaming the whole show nonstop. :blob1:

Stevie sounds amazing again. She messed up the beginning of New Orleans, a sweet oopsie moment. ♥

How crowded was it?

[AliceLover]

No blue cape either...

[Danielle]

How crowded was it?

I don't have the numbers (don't even know where to try to find them) but the periscope user who streamed some of the show would sometimes show the whole arena and it was packed!

[jkmaletic]

Those are great videos!!

Love that Chryssie wore a Broncos shirt in Denver! Would love to see Stevie wear a Patriots shirt! :nod:

Jamie

I'm so happy for her and Chrissie. Female rock artists have the worst longevity. Many can't recover from the 40 year old slump.

[gldstwmn]

This is a must see show. Stevie is bringing her best. She seems so happy and in such a good place.

[gldstwmn]

I hope so! But I'm thinking one song might get dropped.

Nope. But I was bummed I didn't get to see the Blue Lamp shawl up close and personal.

Moonlight is the high point of the show. I cried.

[Danielle]

Moonlight is the high point of the show. I cried.
I can imagine. I cry from home watching shaky videos. :D

[gldstwmn]

How crowded was it?

It was pretty full.

[Danielle]

There's a very positive review here: http://www.westword.com/music/stevie-nicks-and-the-pretenders-rocked-tough-and-tender-at-the-pepsi-center-last-night-8451308

[gldstwmn]

Also if you're waiting until the last minute to get seats I'd recommend Flash Seats. I had a positive experience with them last night.

A few more wonderful reviews:

Still collecting my thoughts because it was SUCH a wonderful show. My friend Crispy (not her real name :p) picked me up at the airport and we had just enough time to scarf some food and then head to the venue.

I ended up splurging on both the Scarlet Wild Heart tee and the Blue Tambourine tee. I also got a keychain for myself and a few more for friends back home. I wish she would have made a tourbook for this, though, because I adore collecting them from my favorite artists, Stevie especially. So that sucked.

We had 10th row floor seats and had a great view of the middle of the stage. The Pretenders were EXCELLENT! They were ON FIRE and Chrissie was having a blast.

The thing that really got to me with this show more than any other Stevie show I've attended was the energy...from both Stevie fans and Pretenders fans alike. It was electric and everyone around us was on their feet the entire time. Like I stated in another thread, the applause was thunderous with EVERY song, even the new 24KG songs and the obscure ones that casual fans might not know about like "Annabelle Lee" and "Crying In The Night".

Definitely the highlights were "Wild Heart", "Bella Donna", "Belle Fleur", "Crying In The Night" and "If You Were My Love". I also believe this is the first time she's done an arena tour where they had a HUGE budget for screens, lights, moving props and special effects. I was half expecting to see some sort of pyrotechnics :laugh: but alas there was none. It is, after all, Stevie Nicks and not Coldplay or U2.

But the song that got me, my special moment, HANDS DOWN was "Moonlight". The new arrangement presented it as a ballad more than the mid tempo pop version that the album gives us. I LOVED IT! The backdrop. The falling stars. The snow. Her ensemble. HER VOICE, especially. I cried and I cried HARD. It was a little embarrassing as I've never let my emotions get the better of me in such a hardcore way...at least in a public setting, that is.

After the show, we met up with some of her friends at a bar and drank and danced the night away. I was on cloud nine. STILL AM! I think I maybe got 3 hours of real sleep before I had to catch a 7am flight home. I've spent most of the day recuperating and reliving last night with her music.

...and I get to do it ALL OVER AGAIN tomorrow! :]

Excellent review. Grats . Thank you.

Looking at some of these pictures i wanted to ask because i've always wondered did Sharon get a nose job?

[Danielle]

Found this on burgundybeast's IG account. From the Denver show.

She's just so beautiful.

[STEVEHEDRICK]

flawless! CANT WAIT TILL DECEMBER!

[gldstwmn]

I can imagine. I cry from home watching shaky videos. :D
It's hard to keep a steady hand when you're dancing or sobbing as the case may be. ;)

[nicolasjz]

Stevie seems to be having the time of her life so is the audience. I bet she'll be in even less of a hurry to rejoin Fleetwood Mac now :lol:

[snroxman]

It's clear that she's much happier - she looks so much more relaxed!

24 Karats of Gold Dust sparkled all over the Pepsi Center last night in an ode to the queen of Rock and Roll, Stevie Nicks. Nicks’ recent release of new recordings of old demos, or 24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault, sparked a hefty tour, landing her in the Mile High along with rockers the Pretenders.

The show began promptly with the Pretenders, a solid act in their own right, front-woman Chrissie Hynde especially. Hynde sparked up the show, exposing her seasoned rocker ways while playing her rock jams like “Brass In Pocket” and slaying the hell out of the harmonica. After a little over an hour, the group waved good night and Martin Chambers, the band’s drummer, donated his shirt to the crowd. Even after all of these years, the Pretenders have kept their eccentric stage persona.

Just before nine o’clock, a figure draped in dark clothing and blonde curls pouring down the front of it could be seen walking onto the enormous stage. The microphone stand was decorated with a long, sparkling scarf. Next to the stand was a tambourine, also dressed in a long dazzling cloth. Nicks belted “Gold and Braid” to open her set, with her full band joining on with keys, drums, piano, bass, guitar and back-up vocals. With her latest release being the re-visitation to many unreleased tracks from her many decades long career in writing music, Nicks explained to the eager crowd that this tour and this performance is not “the same Stevie Nicks that you are used to.”

“If Anyone Falls in Love,” and “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” (which brought back out Chrissie Hynde, this time decked out in a Broncos jersey) were more than enough to raise the entire Pepsi Center to their feet to celebrate through dancing. The old hits are always wonderful, however, this tour being in support of a release of forgotten tunes, you could guess she played a good amount of songs that had never been memorized, and in some cases, even heard. “Belle Fleur,” like many others of the set-list, inspired a lengthy background story from Nicks, explaining the origin and why it never made it to record. The added anecdote to each track as she went down the reasons and happenstances that can occur in the industry accrued a sense of intimacy between the crowd and the artist – it felt as though she was sharing her personal journals with us.

“Dreams,” of course, earned an excessive (yet necessary) mass phone recordings and perhaps the first real sing-a-long of the night. “My Belladonna,” “Annabel Lee” and “New Orleans” grooved the second half of the icon’s set, and with each passing track, Nicks explained more and more of the backstories of how things came to be for her.


“This next song was crafted in Tom Petty’s basement. I know you wish you were there!” said Nicks of “Starshine.”

The many whimsical outfits, obviously inspired by Nicks’ style, twirled to the music that the band rocked out, some new some old and some unreleased. After announcing her band, Nicks dropped the inevitable bomb on her audience with a banging “Edge of Seventeen.” All the way from the familiar rift at the beginning to the last of the hit, everyone in attendance sang along and were dancing out of their seats. Nicks thanked those whole-heartedly as she left the stage, mentioning that she used to live in Denver.

After a brief moment, the artist returned to play “Rhiannon” and “Leather and Lace.” Two imperative songs for the evening rocked the rowdy crowd to an ease, ensuring at least most of the needs of her fans had been met. As Nicks embarks on this large tour ahead of her, she has left a piece of herself in Denver, one that she will hopefully return for again and again for the rest her never-ending-vampire-blood-fueled existence.
