Stevie is singing "Moonlight" right now & all I can say is she has been totally on point for all the concerts so far! She is giving me chills-I love this stripped down version so much!!!!
*Ricoh*

[Nathan]

Cool, another stream!!

I'm glad the ending of the Moonlight is getting worked out a little bit. Edward and Bella who live in her heart? I'm getting tired of that too.

Someone in the audience is yelling for Landslide, haha.

Haha...I know, right? Apparently she is NOT a Ledgie or she would know the setlist! ;)
*Ricoh*
P.S. I haven't been a fan of recent years Stand Back but tonights was pretty rockin', complete w/ lots of twirls. She's really on fire this tour!!!

Yes, her Stand Back vocals were perfect and I was afraid she was gonna fall from so much twirling. She's so happy!
And the little Elton John mention? Lol, she really is on fire.

Crying In The Night is sounding better tonight than in the previous two shows, imo.

I honestly can't believe how good Crying In The Night sounds-like it's right off the album. She seemed more into it tonight (& so did the crowd!)
And that lady is still calling out for Landslide..haha! :D
*Ricoh*

[Danielle]

"What the heck was I writing about at that point? I was like 22." - On 'Crying In The Night'. :D

The 'If You Were My Love' backdrop is one of the most beautiful she has.

[ricohv]

I'm sorry to be blowing this post up, but ...If You Were My Love is not my favorite song but Stevie is singing so beautiful and strong and clear tonight-I wish every Ledgie was hearing this. Simply beautiful. Gahhhhd I love this woman more than ever (I didn't think that was possible!).

I am sorry I can't seem to shut up either but my friend went to bed (I'm looking at you, Lulu) and Stevie's so excited that you can't help but feel that way too. I'm really giddy.

She's so chatty, absolutely different from the first show.

I agree with you, I wish everyone were watching this, I think she's just explained why these shows have been so amazing when she mentioned how happy she is about just standing there and singing with the girls.

Danielle I don't know you but I feel like I'm there with you. This show is effing incredible! I'm holding up my lighter as we're listening to the opening notes of Gold Dust Woman....!

I know! I'm happy you're here. :xoxo:
Her voice is perfect tonight, I know it's difficult to judge watching these things online, but I've seen the three shows and I think this is her best night vocally so far. Not to mention the story telling is both moving and funny. I loved what she said about Waddy.

[ricohv]

Stevie Is On F*cking Fire Tonight!!!!!!!

I know! I'm happy you're here. :xoxo:

The backdrop with all the lights and the birds coupled with the audience's reaction to Edge Of Seventeen will give you chills. I hope there are good videos tomorrow.

[ricohv]

Either my internet or Periscope keeps going out-I haven't been able to watch since Edge. :distress: I'll look for vids on Youtube tomorrow-I'd recommend everyone check look for vids because tonight's show was incredible!! Take care Danielle :D

He started another video for the encore. I'm sorry you missed it. Rhiannon was powerful and she did a lot of talking before Leather and Lace and explained she couldn't bring Don to sing with her every time... "he lives in Texas and where's he?". It was very funny and sweet.

She praised the audience a lot and said goobye telling people to "Keep listening to music. It will save your life."

Thank you for keeping me company! :xoxo:

Thank you-it was fun! XOXO

Watching the Periscope now! Gosh Stevie sounds incredible tonight! Makes me even MORE excited for November 7!!! :nod: I feel like her voice just keeps getting stronger!

[WatchChain]

I've just arrived home from my Houston tour date. I've practiced incredible self restraint over the last few days by staying off this board and NOT peaking at the set list. I'm truly happy that I didn't preview the set, because this was like seeing Stevie in the old days before internet. After a fantastic show, it's clear that The High Priestess is sticking to her promise of turning the set list UPSIDE DOWN. Much to the dismay of casual fans who came only to hear "Landslide" and "Dreams", Miss Nicks did not disappoint her hardcore base.

As she walked onstage to the first strains of "Gold and Braid", it was clear that miss thing wasn't playing around. She was here to please those of us who've hung on her every word for the past 40 years. As suburban soccer moms and their bobble head daughters pined for "Landslide", Miss Stevie couldn't be bothered while tearing her way through "Moonlight", "Crying in the Night", and "New Orleans". Casual audience members were dumbfounded, at least in my section.

We posted, and she listened. This time out, Stevie Nicks means business! "Wild Heart" was gorgeous and transferred to stage perfectly. This tune should have been done years ago! I was like a kid in a candy store! Thank you, Stevie!!!!

[SummerlongBoots]

I just cannot wait until November 2nd!! I'm always super excited to see Stevie but the reviews and the all important Ledgie feedback is electric! I feel it!
Thanks everyone!

How cool that you were able to refrain from viewing the set list beforehand! I do not have such will power. :laugh:

The Perisocop-feed of the Phoenix-show also cutter of after Edge, most phone-batteries apparently don't last a complete Stevie-show ;-)

On the contrary--these posts are giving me LIFE! The audience sounds incredibly cool, too...except the "Landslide" lady... SO proud of Stevie--and thank YOU for these posts. :xoxo:

I felt bad for her too. She grew more ardent as the show went on. I began to worry that she was going to have some sort of meltdown that was going to be live streamed on Periscope. :eek::eek:

[Macfan4life]

Absolutely stunning!
Love the quality of Bella Donna. Not being picky but wish she would include "And your face becomes thin" before You never thought it could. Its such an intense line that I cant help but miss it.
Love this setlist

Mine died during New Orleans. :distress:

[STEVEHEDRICK]

after watching this video she should extend the tour !

[sorcerer999]

Last night was soooooooooo good! Much better than the Denver show and much better than what I saw on Periscope of the Phoenix show. She is settling into a comfort level with these songs, taking a few more risks (however slight) and not missing cues like she's done a few times in the first two shows. She's getting comfortable with the audiences as well.

My feeling is that this show is going to continue to get better and better as the tour progresses! :nod: She is singing each song at a range that suits her and which doesn't appear like it would affect any future shows, so I would not be surprised if this is the first Stevie tour (post "The Dance") where she doesn't drop or replace any songs. There is no struggle here, just a honey smooth vocal on each song. Everything is just right! :]

Her energy level is also increasing!

I agree. That gap in the song sounds weird too.

She's definitely using her voice more efficiently. which is probably to her voice coach's credit. Cutting out a few verses from some of the songs (Wild Heart, Bella Donna, Annabel Lee, Edge) allows her to save her voice and sing more songs. So I think it's a win/win situation for most fans. It's a little weird hearing Edge all chopped up, but if it allows her do incredible set lists like we've seen so far, I'm all for this different kind of show. :woohoo:

[24karatstevie]

I completely agree that Stevie's energy is fantastic! This coupled with her voice, the setlist, and the beautiful stage are making this tour even more special! The anticipation for my show is killing me!

[Danielle]

Someone uploaded the whole show here: https://www.youtube.com/user/DeadMikeDOTcom/videos

They are in order, except for Edge of Seventeen that was uploaded before the Pretenders videos.

Stevie Nicks casts a spell over Houston
By Joey Guerra, Sunday, October 30, 2016 Houston Chronicle

http://www.chron.com/entertainment/music/article/Stevie-Nicks-casts-a-spell-over-Houston-10422987.php

It was a night of 1,000 Stevies both on and offstage.

The Fleetwood Mac singer's Saturday show at Toyota Center -- on Halloween weekend, no less -- inspired several fans to don shawls and scarves, floppy and top hats, lace and long, flowy robes.

Others honored the festivities in costumes and makeup. (A Joker here, a sexy cat there.)

Nicks' current 24 Karat Gold Tour is also showcasing a different side of the iconic singer. It included several songs she's rarely performed onstage. This was her third show of the tour, and her voice strengthened as it progressed.
She told the crowd she visited Houston to pick up Lily, a "tiny pink dog," in July. Much of the show was framed like a "Storytellers" TV special.

"Wild Heart," never before performed onstage, could be a hit for a country singer. The Edgar Allen Poe-inspired "Annabel Lee" boasted a rousing, rising chorus. "New Orleans" was originally a poem inspired by Hurricane Katrina. "Starshine" was a originally a demo recorded in Tom Petty's basement.

Nicks performed "Moonlight (A Vampire's Dream)" in a long, white coat. It was no mistake that it played like some sort of gothic drama.

There were, of course, ample moments of classic Nicks. She swirled her scarves and shook her tambourine. And the crowd roared when she took a few signature spins during "Stand Back."

Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders, who opened the show, returned for a spirited "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around." Deep cut "Outside the Rain" effectively segued into "Dreams."

The final quartet of songs were for maximum fan appeal: a still-searing "Gold Dust Woman;" "Edge of Seventeen," featuring images of Prince flashing on the screens; a swirling "Rhiannon" and "Leather and Lace."

Women danced. Men sang along. And Nicks, in all her witchy allure, proved she still reigns supreme.

"That was for Bella and Edward, who live in my heart, and the stories of 'Twilight,'" she said.
