Stevie? "When Will We Love Again?" Is It She?

[cbBen]

Could anyone please shed light on this recording?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfNIA_v0BY

1. Whether this is Stevie?
2. If so, whether she or Lindsey is playing the guitar?
3. When it was recorded?
4. Whether it was recorded in public or at someone's home (there's pool in the background, but that could happen either way)?

If the answer to #1 is "no" then #2 is moot and #3-4 are no longer of interest.

It be she.

Do you know whether in a pool hall or in a private home?

Nope, I don't know anything about this one. Someone here probably would.

But from the voice, I would guarantee that that is Stevie Nicks.

If it is in fact from such an early time, I guess it could be a Fritz performance. They played house parties when they were starting out I think.

That's Stevie. Very early. It is with a group of songs she did on guitar.

It sounds like someone is playing pool in the background. I can only remember one song from the group at the moment, besides this one. Amber.

Wow!

Thanks for alerting me to "Amber": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRS02FPTYEc

I'd love to hear the other performances.

The YouTube description says it's recorded in a home basement.

My favorite from Fritz is In the Dawn with Javier on piano.

My favorite from Fritz is In the Dawn with Javier on piano.

I had no idea there were Fritz recordings of this quality. Thanks a million.

When will we love is another one in this group. I need you is another one I remember off hand.

[cbBen]

When will we love is another one in this group. I need you is another one I remember off hand.

Yes, thanks so much. She sounds great but so different on these. "When Shall We Love?" is far and away the best. All three of the above are on YouTube (see below. If anyone knows of others from this basement session, please advise. Thanks.

"See The World Go By": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQiJ0UqT4VM

The notes on this YouTube post say it is from 1972 and is a public performance in a small bar. That may be speculation based on the pool playing in the background. The notes for the post of "When Shall We Love?" say it is pre-1972 and is a home basement recording. Both posts reference the game of pool.

I've added this one to the list of falsettos. I'm well aware of the bated breath with which everyone is awaiting that list. But please be patient and worry not: I'm on the case, and have even found falsetto on some Fritz material.

According to this site, it's a possible Fritz demo: http://www.buckinghamnicks.info/demow#whenwillweloveagain

Her voice sounds different enough from the 1971 demo of "Lady" that it makes sense that the recording would be from 1968-70.

Though the recording appears to be from a different session, the site also identifies "Anybody There" as a possible Fritz demo, and her voice sounds similar to the recording with pool playing in the background:

There's also a song called "I Need You" which the YouTube post identifies as "labeled as a Fritz demo") and the website identifies as "possibly a Fritz demo." (Her voice, at least at times, again sounds like on the recording with pool playing in the background.):

In a 1991 interview Stevie talks about how her entire family playa pool, so my guess is that it's a home recording with family playing pool in the background.
