More 2024 Tour Dates
 

From Ultimate Classic Rock

Stevie Nicks has extended her tour into 2024, announcing eight new dates for next year.

Her first 2024 date will take place on Feb. 10 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and then continue through March 9 in Arlington, Texas.

You can see a complete list of shows below. Tickets will be available starting Sept. 29.

Stevie Nicks With Billy Joel

Of the eight newly announced shows, one will be a co-headlining performance with Billy Joel. The two artists have been appearing together since March.

"We met at a Fleetwood Mac gig in San Francisco probably 10 years ago," Joel told the Los Angeles Times earlier this year. "I just got to meet her backstage, but we've never worked together, even though we both kind of hit at the same time. So this'll be a completely new thing for me."

I'm not planning to go to any concert, and never been in a Stevie solo concert.

But thinking about never played live songs, I would like to see her singing The Chain demo, from Rumours: More From The Recording Sessions [Disc 3],

Of course it would have been better played by Fleetwood Mac, but since they almost always included The Chain final version at shows, it wasn't likely to happen. Plus Fleetwood Mac is practically over, so watching this version at a Stevie solo show would be nice.

If her new setlist would be anything like this, I would definitely see her in concert. Even though I really dislike Whole Lotta Trouble, that would be a good opener. And supposedly Stevie resents I Don’t Want to Know, so I can’t imagine her ever performing that one solo.

Re: Talk to Me- have you ever heard the lower register version that was released on a compilation CD featuring hits of the 1980s? It’s a less bombastic version of Talk to Me that some folks prefer over the original. So it could definitely return to her set in this form. I also love your choices Room on Fire, Ooh My Love, Seven Womders, Blue Denim, and especially Blue Lamp!

Talk To Me on the Street Angel tour was the best version of that song live or recorded. Period.

The chances of Stevie performing any of those songs would have the same probability of her opening with Go Your Own Way.

I mean she really should. The TikTok nuts would love to see her taking GYOW and making it her own. The next year of the woman!

Heads would explode if she sang Go Your Own Way! Then again, it would be funny if Lindsay performed Edge of Seventeen! The only thing funnier than watching that would be Stevie’s reaction to watching it :laugh:

This board would light up like a Christmas tree and crash the internet.

I can’t believe I forgot Dreams and Gypsy! How cool would it be if Stevie did a 24 song set like Fleetwood Mac and Springsteen (sometimes 29) do?!

I’d be interested to see if For What It’s Worth and Free Fallin’ leave the setlist in 2024.

Adding that I listened to the lower Talk To Me and I like it. Thank you for letting me know about it! I think they should remove the sax section, Waddy’s good at slicing parts out.

I don't know it is true but in 1997 somebody posted at the old Ledge, that in the concert he or she attended, it was Lindsey who sang the last SS line You could be my... silver spring... my blue-green... colors flaaashin'

Because Stevie was crying.

Unfortunately I think we're stuck with this for the rest of our lives as sadly, it's the one song in her set that gets the loudest response. But that is mainly because of the Tom Petty montage clips she shows the crowds.

That’s absolutely true and happened in Atlantic City on 11/29/97 at the second to last show of the tour. Here’s the audio: https://youtu.be/aagJBxY6FxE?si=hwPDi0jIe_jKuvWP

The wonder of the 2016 24 Karat Gold Tour and the 2011 In Your Dreams Tours were that the setlists were without covers.

She honors Tom with Stop Draggin's introduction and Tom is on the screen too during that live performance. I would like she sang I Will Run To You, The Apartment Song, or Insider in addition to Stop Draggin'.

Let's get real....six years later, this isn't about honoring Tom. It's nothing more than "everyone loves this song, it's a big sing along that I can put in my set that wins over everyone"

It's one more perverse move in her thirty year quest to be in the Heartbreakers.

And playing For What It's Worth is laziness? The 2022 midterms are long gone and there are no high notes in the song.

Are you asking me if I think FWIW is lazy? At least it's something she felt compelled to record and release.

Free Falling was initially recorded in 1996 and didn't make it into a set until Tom's passing.

She felt compelled to record and release Show Them The Way but it didn't make a splash so she released FWIW, which also didn't chart, but people know the song from hearing it on classic rock radio and oldies hit radio.

For What It's Worth is an easy song to sing. Feet planted on the ground for that one.

Happy Anniversary to Show Them the Way!
 

3 years ago this week Stevie released Show Them The Way.

9 years ago this week Stevie released her most recent album, Songs From The Vault.

And the setlist doesn't have any songs from 2014 on in it.

The set barely has anything from after 2000 on it. Or 1983. Her “legendary” RRHOF solo career is basically two albums. She ignores incredible amounts of her songs - it’s pretty crazy.

But the masses don't care. They are there for her concert staples. When her tour started this year she was playing ALL of her Fleetwood Mac hits including Sara and Gypsy. That had not happened since her early solo days. Its like someone told her....Stevie, Fleetwood Mac is not around anymore and the fans want all the hits.

For a self proclaimed prolific songwriter, she is truly just a commercial sellout. That she literally ignores almost all of her solo career is embarrassing. This lady rambles about her songs being her children then ignores 80% of them and just trudges out the same tired BS tour after tour.

I don’t understand her premise.

I am not defending her but she became an oldies act long ago. Even the Mac was an oldies band. Once the cash grab tours of the late 90s began, they sucked all the creativity out of bands. Smokey Robinson (another oldies act) was on Howard Stern a few years ago and he was asked how he picks what songs to perform. Like the oldies act he is, he described the songs he "has" to do.
This is what is so refreshing about Bruce. He can perform a set without one single and the crowd will know every song. Fleetwood Mac has always had weird fans (like we did not know lol). Several members stated that during their Rumours tour they needed to dial back the amount of new songs because the audience was not into them. To think Rumours is considered one of the best albums of all time yet the audience was not into it when it was fresh? This is why I have always believed that Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks always do their #1 song as the second or third song in the set to keep their shallow audience interested. Good grief if the band does a deep track its a mass exodus to the snack bar. Her creativity dried up decades ago. She's an oldies act living off Dreams, Stand Back, Rhiannon, Landslide, Gold Dust Woman and Edge of 17.

If Stevie is never going to make another album or play in FM again, I would love her to do a 50 Year Celebration Tour like Madonna started last night (Macfan4life, I’m aware you think Madonna’s a hack). The tour goes through her history.
This morning I Don’t Want To Know was on Sirius Classic Rock; Stevie can play that one as a co-lead with her bgvocalists, Waddy, and Al, like she did with Buckingham Nicks’ Crying In The Night. If she resents the song, do Silver Springs. Angel was a deep cut but it could replace I Sing For The Things.

Something must be up with Talk To Me because it’s her second biggest hit and hasn’t been played in 30 years.

But she did not write Talk To Me so I can understand why she does not like it. Leather and Lace is her third biggest hit single and she does not do it. Waddy is the one that talked her into doing Crying In The Night.
However remember her solo sets post TISRL tour in the early, mid and late 2000's. They were her worst setlists. They were short and she would do songs like Crash Into Me and other stuff and ignore her catalog worse then than now. And she was younger and could have done more songs. Her Enchanted Tour was really good. She dug into the vault for Sleeping Angel, Rose Garden, Garbo, After the Glitter Fades, and Twisted. She even dug out Gold and Braid which had not been performed for a very long time.

She could tell a story about Jimmy Iovine once again bringing her a single for her album Rock A Little like he did for her first album and the crowd would roar for the opening of Talk To Me.
I saw her do Leather and Lace a number of times in 2016 and then she replaced it with Landslide. As for not doing it on your since, I think she needed to swap something for Free Fallin.

Honestly, the Enchanted tour was the last tour she did that wasn't phoned in. That tour and the club shows she did with the Foo Fighters are probably the most exciting things she's done in the past 25 years. She pulled out a few goodies for the vault tour, but things like Golden Braid were a real shadow of their former selves by that point.

I thought the Trouble in Shangri-La tour had a ton of new songs performed from the album. But yes, her set list is stagnant except on those rare occasions.

2011 In Your Dreams Tour was the last great one in my view, Stevie doing 7 new songs?! I think only Bruce does 7 new songs these days for a classic rock act!
Plus you also had her doing 2 songs from TISL so it was really like 9 new songs.

Marilyn Martin did not sing at the show in Minneapolis tonight. Stevie's vocal coach sang alongside Sharon.

It's interesting that when Sharon was out sick, Marilyn sang standing alone but with Sharon's prerecorded vocals accompanying Marilyn's vocals.

Fat chance she's going to make dramatic setlists. Have you witnessed her numerous times she's said in her career "I'm working on a new setlist of songs, putting a lot of new stuff" She's got the same prehistoric notion of whatever happened to them in Rumours tour when they played new songs and almost got booed off the stage. That has haunted her since to this day.

We're lucky to get 1 maybe 2 changes, or new songs that get added in and yanked back out after a couple tries. Someone needs to shake her and be like DO NEW STUFF, but she never fully goes along with it and changes her mind.

It's the most obnoxious thing about her career to me is that she could have done SO much more over the years.

The only silver lining for me was getting to hear Bella Donna and Wild Heart even if it's just medley arranged. That tour she stuck her neck out a little bit which it was like FINALLY. But man, so many missed opportunities.

Honestly I have always seriously doubted this claim.... it just makes for a good excuse to not push the set list.

Does anyone know WHICH shows those would have been, and if there are any contemporaneous accounts (fan accounts, or actual reviews etc) of any specific shows where this happened??

Wasn’t it supposed to be in Kansas somewhere? I bet Stevie’s recollection is exaggerated. Very early in the tour — from the Jacques Cousteau benefit through March — they were still doing a bunch of pre-1975 songs. Obviously, at some point, they decided to drop some of those warhorses and do more Rumours songs. I bet what happened around that time was that audiences just thought they were going to hear “Sunny Side of Heaven” and “Tell Me All the Things You Do” and the like and were suddenly listening to “Dreams” and “Oh Daddy.” Of course, applause was probably subdued.
