Nervous?
 

I just now noticed that the show Stevie's doing with the orchestra is the FIRST date on the AUS tour. :shocked: Is this the show that's being filmed for the DVD for sure, or is it just speculation?

I just wonder, because it usually takes Stevie a few shows to relax & put on a truly great performance. I wonder if she'll be up to the task this early. It's bound to be emotional too, since this will be the frist "opening night" since her dad died.

I bet she is there now or within the next week rehearsing.

I'm sure she is, or soon will be. But even with all the rehearsals, she always seems a bit nervous her first few shows. :shrug: Just wondering how she'll do with the orchestra - we know our girl does not do change well. :cool:

Yeaaaahhhh...Tuesday Vegas was not that hot. She seemed petrified, and was dullish.
*crosses fingers for our girl*

I totally get what you're saying, but don't forget there was the LIVE performance on "The Today Show" - I think she dealt with a lot of the nervousness and anxiety then. (Did you see the look on her face right before "Stand Back," where she was kinda looking at herself in the monitor and maybe thinking, "Well - I'm back." ? ) And don't forget she's been doing
this a LONG time now - and she'll have her "standard" backup musicians there to support her (Waddy Wachtell, etc.). Plus, I totally agree that she's gonna be rehearsing like crazy - I'm sure with all her experience she knows exactly what she needs to do in order to do this right. Which, of course, is top priority. So personally I think she'll be fine! :nod: :shrug:

Yeah, I wouldn't say she'd have it as the DVD night unless she was confident she could pull it off her absolute best.

Also with The Dance dvd...she said the last night was the best night. :cool:

It's funny, usually artists are at their best the first night, because of the nervousness...it gives that extra rush.

Exactly - but the orchestra will be extra special, so you'd think they'd film THAT night. :shrug: Unless they just film one or two songs from that night, and then film the rest later & mix it up. :shrug: Are we even positive that this DVD thing is really happening? Is it official?

I guess my thoughts are that this Melbourne show will be MUCH different than any other solo or Mac shows over the past 3 years. We know she likes routine, being comfortable, confident - as evidenced by the setlist, her clothing, etc. I just hope that her nerves don't get the best of her. :angel:

I always finf it funny that Stevie could be nervous after having been a performer for over 30 years, but I guess that proves she's human like the rest of us.:nod:

At Rod Laver Arena on 18 February Nicks will be accompanied by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in a magical night to be filmed for a DVD. The marriage of Nicks' songs with full orchestral backing promises to be an incredible experience. She is thrilled to be working with the world-renowned MSO and has five days of rehearsals planned to ensure the concert - and the resulting DVD - will be one of the highlights of her illustrious career.

It's just going to be the same old, same old with a few of her old warhorses being played with an orchestra. Yawn.

I wonder how much different the symphony will be? I anticipate the concert being the exact same setlist. The symphony will play on a handful of songs, and I imagine that there won't be any real change in the musical arrangement except they will play along?

I thought "The Dance" DVD wasn't a real concert. It was taped at a Warner Bros. sound stage in Burbank for DVD purposes only. The audience was all invited Warner and music people. I spotted actors/actresses in the crowd. There were retakes. Am I wrong about this? :confused:

No, you're not wrong. The concert was so fixed up in the studio that it's practically a studio recording, too.

I remember hearing that Stevie messed up the beginning of Dreams a few times before getting it right at that taping too.

Yeah, what's up with that?
Although, honestly, I think she can kick it out better if there's a camera there for a DVD release. :shrug: Just an impression I get of her.
She's been working a lot lately, hopefully that will take away some of the nervousness.
