Thirty Day Stevie Nicks Challenge

[fairydust75]

#3

August 4, 1994, Street Angel Tour, Raleigh, North Carolina. Third row and I was pushed up to the stage by my friends for the Stage Walk. I was so nervous, and got to touch her hand. I was completely shell shocked. I remember how soft her hand was...ahh.... I was 19 years old, and had been a fan since I heard Talk To Me on the radio. All my friends were headbangers, so they were perplexed at my adoration of someone like her. I saw her again in 2007, Crystal Visions Tour, and again last night in Bristow, Virginia. I alson saw her with The Mac, ofcourse. I am a major music lover, I love all kinds of music country, rock, heavy metal, jazz, standards, blues, rock, hip hop, everything except maybe blue grass, classical and electronic stuff. No other artist has captured my soul like Stevie. I feel like I have a connection with her, and I know she feels that same connection from us all.

I was at this show too. I loved the Street Angel tour and thought she was incredible, although I didn't get to shake her hand... at least not till the Raleigh Enchanted Tour 98.

3. The first time you ever saw Stevie live

Rock A Little (3x's)- summer of 1986- Each show was off the hook. Especially Madison Square Garden.

'Fleetwood Mac songstress Stevie Nicks, spotted on Rodeo Drive, Los Angeles, holding on to her Diet Cola, purse and BlackBerry whilst out shopping.'

Sure, but BlackBerrys were an inconceivable technology then, but it is very conceivable that the Coke cup she is holding is not full of soda, but full of cocaine!

Oooh, I'm a little behind on these:

#1: I was a junior in HS when the White Album came out, and a senior when Rumours came out, so that was ALL ... hooked on Crystal, Rhiannon, Blue Letter, Monday Morning, but LOVED GDW and well, all of Rumours (but I really wished they had shared that grapmmy with Hotel California)...

#2 Fav photo is on the back of the Red Rocks VCR box -- that just makes me melt, and

#3 ... first saw her w/ FM in Birmingham AL in 1980, from a ledge in the balcony on her side of the stage. Black top hat, high boots, and coked to the gills, dancing backstage after every song to get more...legendary Sisters of the Moon that night, with the backdrop moon and tree thing goin on...SO F'in ROCKIN! And she and LB sang Angel that night also! Oh, to see that again. One can only hope they do a BN tour before too long!

I can appreciate it in retrospect, but I was disappointed at the time. The show was a disappointing mess. The pacing of the show was all off, and she was clearly not in good form. It didn't dissuade me from being a fan, but I remember going home thinking "She could have done better...she's better than this." Of course, I had no clue about the personal issues she was dealing with at the time. At least I'm glad to say I saw a Rock A Little show!

I had only recently discovered FM, but at 13 wasn't old enough (or financially capable) or being a diehard fan. My parents took me and my sister on a family trip to San Francisco and it was completely unplanned, but they decided to cross the bay and get us tix to this show. They were crappy seats, but I still remember it to this day. I didn't see Stevie live again until '97, but I've been a regular concert-goer since.

This list depends on what sort of mood I'm in, if I'm in a really depressed mood, the slightest thing can set me off But, if I'm in a good mood, it takes a really powerful song to do that, so I'll bold those ones.

Dreams
Silver Springs
Beautiful Child
Storms
That's Alright
When I See You Again
The Highwayman
Beauty And The Beast
Doing The Best That I Can
Love Is
For What It's Worth
